Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin Face Crisis in 'Now, the Phone is Ringing'

In the upcoming sixth episode of MBC's weekend drama 'Now, the Phone is Ringing' (지금 거신 전화는), a critical incident occurs for the married couple Yoo Yeon-seok (유연석) and Chae Soo-bin (채수빈). The episode, airing on December 14, features Baek Sa-eon (유연석) and Hong Hee-joo (채수빈) facing an emergency during a company outing.

Previously, Sa-eon organized the outing to celebrate Hee-joo's success in passing the sign language interpreter interview at the spokesperson's office. As he learns sign language to connect with his wife, he becomes entangled in confusion upon discovering that the identity of the blackmailer, known as 406, might be linked to Hee-joo. The last episode ended with a dramatic moment where a drunken Sa-eon and Hee-joo accidentally kiss as she helps him home, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

As their relationship deepens, the newly released stills from today's episode show Sa-eon and Hee-joo enjoying the outing with their colleagues, although no one is aware of their marital status. Sa-eon uses the pretext of team bonding to stay close to Hee-joo, who struggles to hide her awkwardness. Despite this, they manage to have a good time together.

However, another still reveals Sa-eon in shock, hinting at an urgent situation. As he sweats nervously and struggles to maintain his composure in front of rescue workers, viewers are left wondering what could cause the usually calm and collected Sa-eon to lose his cool.

The atmosphere among the spokesperson's office staff is tense, and Hee-joo's dazed expression adds to the growing sense of unease. Fans are eager to find out what has transpired between the two characters.

The production team teased, "The outing serves as a turning point for Sa-eon and Hee-joo's romance, heating up as they come closer. Especially, we invite viewers to tune in to see how Sa-eon reacts upon discovering that Hee-joo is the blackmailer 406, and to witness his passionate love story unfold on screen."
