Netflix's "When the Phone Rings" has a happy ending, and it's weird.
If you've ever wanted to switch lives with someone, Baek Sa-eon's (Yoo Yeon-seok) experience of both the privilege and plight, with one being more than the other, will make you retract your hopes as his life shows it's just not worth it in the long run. This 2024 series is based on the 2022 web novel "The Number You Have Dialed," authored by Geon Eomul Nye, and is the source for the ongoing Manhwa (South Korean comic) adaptation. A spoiler warning and sensitive topics (including emotional abuse, stalking, etc.) warning are in effect! Sa-eon is a typical emotionally unavailable male lead who is strict with his mute wife, Hong Hee-joo (Chae Soo-bin), until he isn't. The kidnapping of his wife leads to several events as Hee-joo, feeling betrayed, devises a plan to escape the contract marriage unscathed.

"The Trunk," "Love Next Door," and "When the Phone Rings": Brief and Not-So-Brief Opinions: Part 14
When the Phone Rings (Netflix), The Trunk (Netflix), and Love Next Door (Netflix). … The 'brief and not-so-brief opinions' articles are my outlet to rant about or appreciate movies, shows and their elements. I will express my thoughts while watching and after or only after watching, it depends. I will not be rating. These are not spoiler-free for the most part, and no research will be made for or about them (unless it's out of curiosity or accidental, which would be mentioned). They are in no particular order of recent watching as well. However, the opinions are based on the order in which the movie or series is viewed (for the most part). This wouldn't be as structured or detailed, and there would be no set number of picks per article. It would be just as things go. It is intended to be casual. So think…conversations about movie plots, characters, topics, or something like that.

Andor Season 2 Ending Explained
The satisfying conclusion of Andor season 2 ties the plot to Rogue One by resolving the final mysteries surrounding the Death Star and the Rebel Alliance. Thus far, Andor season 2's timeline has been rather unusual, with each episode leaping ahead a year. Because of this, the last three occur just before Rogue One's events and a year after the Ghorman Massacre and the chaos that followed, which are featured in Andor season 2, episodes 7-9.
