In an exciting revelation, actor Yoo Yeon Seok expressed his heartfelt gratitude to fans around the world for their overwhelming support of MBC’s hit drama **‘When the Phone Rings.’** Portraying the emotionally complex character Baek Sa Eon, Yoo has captured the hearts of viewers both domestically and internationally.

During a recent interview on January 6th, KST, at the King Kong by Starship headquarters in Gangnam, Seoul, Yoo shared his thoughts on the much-talked-about finale, particularly focusing on the intimate bed scene with co-star Chae Soo Bin. “This couple had been emotionally distant for three years,” he explained. “Through the menacing phone calls, they slowly rekindled their feelings for one another. Their reunion symbolized what could be seen as their true first night together, and we aimed to portray it beautifully—like the first night for a long-term couple.”

Yoo Yeon Seok emphasized the collaborative effort put into the scene, stating, “I put a lot of thought into that moment and worked closely with Soo Bin to get it just right. On filming day, we deliberated over the tone we wanted to convey, carefully reviewing the storyboard and drawing inspiration from various other works to ensure we were in sync. The joy I felt seeing messages from South American fans cheering while watching the scene together really confirmed that we executed it well.”

When asked about the cast's reaction to the finale, Yoo humorously recounted, “Their responses were pretty similar! We all laughed and enjoyed the surprise twists together.”

Known for his romantic prowess, Yoo has once again garnered the title of **“Kiss Master.”** With a bashful smile, he mentioned, “Each kiss in this drama encapsulated a unique emotional moment—there was a reunion kiss, a kiss filled with guilt, a joyful kiss, and even an overwhelming kiss after a proposal. I aimed to convey each one distinctively to help viewers dive deeper into the story and connect with the characters emotionally.”

Amidst the excitement, many fans have playfully wished for Yoo and Chae Soo Bin to date in real life, a sentiment Yoo sees as an affirmation of their on-screen chemistry. “It’s really a compliment to how well our romance was portrayed. It shows that viewers were engaged in our characters’ plight—which I’m incredibly thankful for,” he remarked.

Comments like **“Just get married!”** have flooded social media, particularly from international viewers. Responding to this light-hearted pressure, Yoo clarified with a laugh, “While the show has thrilling elements, at its core, it’s a love story. We envisioned our audience becoming invested in Sa Eon and Hee Joo’s journey, so seeing all the supportive comments really makes me feel like we succeeded. But just to clear the air—no, we’re not dating in real life!”

With his charming remarks and dedication to his craft, Yoo Yeon Seok continues to shine, leaving fans eager for what his next project might hold. Stay tuned for more updates from this talented star!
