MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Phone Call You‘re Dialing’ (planned by Kwon Sung-chang/ directed by Park Sang-woo, Wi Deuk-gyu/ written by Kim Ji-woon/ produced by Bon Factory, Baram Pictures), which aired to great popularity both domestically and internationally since its first broadcast, ended on the 4th. Jang Gyu-ri, who played the role of ‘Na Yu-ri’ and gave a splendid performance, shared her thoughts on the end.

In ‘The Phone Call You’re Dialing’, Jang Gyu-ri played the role of ‘Na Yu-ri’, the most popular announcer recognized by everyone at the broadcasting station. She is a multi-talented ‘capable character’ who is loved not only for her looks but also for her stable news hosting, but on the other hand, she caught the attention by showing off her on and off-again charm as a fan of her senior Baek Sa-eon (Yoo Yeon-seok). Also, while creating the program together, she naturally developed a crush on Ji Sang-woo (Heo Nam-joon), and she created a pink thrill, making the living room theater smile as she had a happy ending with Ji Sang-woo. In particular, in the midst of the turbulent development of the drama, Jang Gyu-ri brightened the atmosphere of the play every time she appeared, showing off her lovely presence and conveying warm energy like sunshine.



In addition, Jang Gyu-ri worked hard to digest the job of an ‘announcer’, receiving help from a current announcer. She tried to imitate the diction, pronunciation, and long and short sounds recorded by the announcer, and she received advice on the announcer‘s gestures and fashion, blending into the play without any awkwardness and completing her character, drawing attention.

Jang Gyu-ri, who made a mark by playing her role in ‘The Call You Just Got’, revealed her thoughts on finishing the work through her agency, Namoo Actors. He said, “I wanted to give energy to the viewers through the character of ’Na Yuri‘, but I think I gained a lot of energy by meeting Yuri instead. I sincerely thank all the viewers who have loved ’The Call You‘re Dialing’ and ‘Na Yuri’ so far, and I hope you won‘t forget ’Na Yuri‘ and remember it for a long time.” He expressed his gratitude to the viewers who loved the drama, saying, “Thanks to all the love you gave me, I was able to spend warm days filled with love. Thank you so much.” He continued, “Thank you to the director, writer, staff, and seniors who I’ve worked with so far. I think I was able to learn a lot through ‘The Call You’re Dialing‘. It was an honor to be able to work together, and I was so happy and joyful the whole time I was acting. He expressed his gratitude to those who worked with him by saying, “Thank you,” and expressed his determination for the future by saying, “I will continue to do my best to show you a good image as an actor.”

Jang Gyu-ri, who left her mark on ‘The Phone Call You Just Dialed’ with her stable acting skills and presence. Many expectations are high for her as she gradually expands her acting territory with her passion for acting.
