Hong Hee-joo faces a life-changing decision for Baek Sa-eon in “When the Phone Rings” Ep 9

In the upcoming episode 9 of MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama series “When The Phone Rings”, Hong Hee-joo (played by Chae Soo-bin) visits Baek Ui-yong (played by Yoo Seong-ju) and Shim Gyu -jin (played by Choo Sang-mi).

In the previous episode, Hee-joo and Baek Sa-eon (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) resolved their misunderstandings and confirmed their feelings for each other. However, the kidnapper (played by Park Jae-yoon) approached them, increasing the tension.

Sa-eon, who was chasing the kidnapper, received a message from fishing site manager Jeong Sang-hoon (played by Kim Jun-bae) saying: “He’s still alive” and rushed to the fishing spot.

However, when he arrived, he was already engulfed in flames, and Sa-eon lost consciousness while trying to save Sang-hoon. At the same time, Hee-joo learned a shocking secret from her half-sister Hong In-ah (played by Han Jae-i): Sa-eon was not from the Baek family.

Ahead of the ninth episode airing on December 27, new photos showing Hee-joo meeting with her in-laws, Ui-yong and Gyu-jin, were released. Despite being family, the cold climate between the three is intense and significant.

In the photos, Hee-joo visits her in-laws’ house in the middle of the night after Sa-eon goes missing and doesn’t return home. He urgently asks them for something. As they calmly listen to Hee-joo’s request, both Ui-yong and Gyu-jin can’t hide their surprise at her unusual behavior. After 3 years of marriage, what could be the reason why Hee-joo suddenly visited her in-laws? His resolute expression suggests a difficult decision, arousing curiosity.

Meanwhile, Hee-joo rushes to the hospital after hearing about Sa-eon’s accident. Devastated by his severe injuries, his eyes fill with tears as he remembers how lonely he must have been. Squeezing his hand tightly, Hee-joo prays desperately for him to regain consciousness. She makes a firm decision to protect him and immediately heads somewhere. What kind of decision did Hee-joo make for her husband? The story of the “Sa-Joo couple”, who had just confirmed their love and dreamed of a happy future, now faces an uncertain future.

On the other hand, “When the Phone Rings” episode 9 will air on December 27 at 9:50 pm (KST) on MBC.
