Yoo Yeon-seok Expresses Nostalgia for MBC at 'The Call You Are Making' Press Conference

Actor Yoo Yeon-seok shared his heartfelt sentiments about returning to MBC during the press conference for the new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Call You Are Making' held on November 21 at the Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam, Mapo, Seoul. He remarked, "I left MBC, which feels like home, for a while, and now I'm back after a long time. It feels welcoming, exciting, and I have high expectations."

'The Call You Are Making' is a romantic thriller that begins with a blackmail phone call, exploring the secret romance of a couple in a political marriage after three years. The drama is based on a popular web novel of the same name from KakaoPage, which has already generated significant anticipation among fans of the original work.

The script is penned by writer Kim Ji-woon, known for his solid storytelling in works like 'Melancholia' and 'Doctor John', while the direction is handled by Park Sang-woo, who has showcased his delicate directing skills and unique visual style in 'The Golden Marriage: The Joseon Marriage Prohibition'. The cast includes trusted actors Yoo Yeon-seok, Chae Soo-bin, Heo Nam-jun, and Jang Gyu-ri, promising the birth of a remarkable drama.

Yoo Yeon-seok returns to MBC's small screen for the first time in nearly nine years since his role in the 2015 drama 'Mandoo Long?'. He reflected, "MBC, which felt like home, is where I first appeared in a drama alongside Cha Tae-hyun in 'General Hospital 2'. Coming back to a place that feels like my drama hometown and meeting a new genre like a romantic thriller is both exciting and promising."

In 'The Call You Are Making', Yoo Yeon-seok plays Baek Sa-eon, a character who is exceptional in every aspect—family background, looks, and abilities. Baek Sa-eon is the youngest spokesperson for the presidential office, with a background as a war correspondent, hostage negotiation expert, and a prominent anchor for a public broadcasting station.

The new MBC drama 'The Call You Are Making' is set to premiere on November 22 at 9:50 PM.
