Yoo Yeon-seok proposes cooperation to Chae Soo-bin.

In episode 7 of MBC‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Phone Call You’re Dialing Now’ (planned by Kwon Sung-chang/ directed by Park Sang-woo, Wi Deuk-gyu/ written by Kim Ji-woon/ produced by Bon Factory and Baram Pictures), which airs at 9:50 p.m. on the 20th, Hong Hee-joo (played by Chae Soo-bin) feels jealous of Baek Sa-eon‘s (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) flirting with the blackmailer 406.

In the previous episode, Sa-eon and Hee-joo, who became a married couple in the spokesperson’s office, went on a company outing and had a good time. However, when Hee-joo fell off a cliff while hiking and went missing, Sa-eon waited for the threatening phone call, the only connection he had with his wife.

When Sa-eon, who was anxious, received a call from 406, he pretended not to know that it was Hee-joo and tried to figure out her location first. The ending of Sa-eon running to his wife with all his might is touching and raises expectations for the change in their relationship.

The still cuts released on the 20th ahead of the 7th episode airing show Sa-eon and Hee-joo continuing their phone conversation on a blackmail phone. Unlike the past when he received the blackmailer‘s call with a sharp attitude, Sa-eon’s face with a faint smile seems relaxed, which increases interest.

On this day, Sa-eon thanks 406 for telling him where Hee-joo is. However, Hee-joo is confused as to whether Sa-eon has noticed her true identity, and her jealousy explodes at her husband‘s unexpected plot toward 406. Will Hee-joo be able to finish the phone call safely with Sa-eon, who has excellent speaking skills, and the content of their heated conversation is something to be curious about.

While Sa-eon continues his secret conversation with Hee-joo, he proposes cooperation to catch the real kidnapper (played by Park Jae-yoon) who is hiding behind his wife. Hee-joo makes a decision to protect Sa-eon. Another still cut captures Hee-joo visiting an amusement park in the middle of the night, raising curiosity. Attention is focused on the unpredictable development of the story, such as why she is on the phone alone in the amusement park and where Sa-eon is at that time.

Regarding this, the production team said, “Sa-eon will begin a full-scale investigation to catch the kidnapper who threatened Hee-joo. Please watch to see how he will protect Hee-joo,” and “Please show a lot of interest in the first broadcast where the hidden affection between the two will explode.”

Episode 7 of MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “The Phone Call You Just Dialed” will air on the 20th at 9:50 p.m.
