Okay

I completed

When the Phone Rings (WTPR)

It is on Netflix and has 12 episodes

Can be few spoilers, you can ignore this post too if haven't watched the show.

Leads had a great chemistry and leads individually too were great actors.

I even like all the side actors.

But then again it isn't something extraordinary.

I was looking forward to this trope where one of the lead is famous and has a secret marriage. FL acting as mute and deceiving ML.

But man..

It was like pehle ke Wattpad stories where there is forceful marriage and ML ignores FL for years and achanak se starts caring and we have to believe he always loved her.

It is typical that.

Humne itne green flag MLs dekh liye hain, so this ML disappointed me

Poora show was about ML ignoring FL and FL waiting for him, in start of that show and even in ending.

ML always said he wants to make FL happy but man.. except for few scenes that too which majority was FL ka imagination it was all about ML not caring enough that FL is hurting due to his indifference and absence.

It was about FL getting injured but never getting serious hurt bhale uss accident mein aur koyi mare bhi toh magically she never got hurt except then few scratches ever.

It was about either of the leads being in hospital.

I did complete it, but I didn't find it great or even recommend worthy.

I think so much potential was wasted, I know it was a adaption but they could have changed things and could have made it better.

Thanks Palak for the review which gave a clear idea of the show! I'm stuck On 2nd episode and found it pretty dull not sure if it's worth the hype..Yes felt bit cliche and like a wattpad story 😊😄

IKR.. i saw 3 episodes and found it kinda repetitive..did they spend so much on promotion and hyping or did people really like it I don't know.. I found ML from queen of tears more likeable than him..

All their shorts were promoted with that song I don't need nobody I don't fear nobody.. That song was so beautiful and it kinda tricked me into waiting for this show..I'm going mad..

Yes I saw all those promotions and edits of them too which made me really curious..It got a lot of hype and attention for sure..But when I watched I found it just okay nothing great..ML is okayish..

Yes it had the same old forced marriage seems outdated and he seems cold to her..Then suddenly their love story happens too cliche..This theme and plot is actually too repetitive and boring nowadays..I read it's one of the best show of 2024 but not sure after getting through first few episodes..Leads too weren't as impressive as all the hype in my opinion ..😄😊

People are like 2024 is year of dramas

But I preferred 2023 ke dramas more, they were better.

& 2024 had better dramas than this.

I will rate Shop for Killers, Flex x Cop, Judge from Hell, Wonderful World, Seoul Busters, Lovely Runner, Crash, Miss Day and Night, Midnight Studio and many others more than WTPR.

Hidden love cdrama anyone? 😬😬

Unpopular opinion.. I find that ML too old for FL.. 🙈

Yes watched it and loved it

I have liked the leads in their previous work too.

I mean dekha jae toh...

But good thing there wasn't much interaction of FL's younger version with ML.

If you are okay with age difference which I think they had of 5 years and ML didn't had romantic feeling until he met her when she went to college.

I loved FL ki family her parents and brother really amazing.

FL came from rich family family, had great family, padhayi mein bhi thik thak thi, uske baad itna badhiya bf, college friends bhi acche the uske.
