How Chae Soo-bin’s Dad Reacted to Her Kiss Scenes with Yoo Yeon-seok Is Hilarious (When the Phone Rings)

Chae Soo-bin Shares Her Parents’ Opposite Reactions to Her Kiss Scenes with Yoo Yeon-seok in 'When the Phone Rings.'

Chae Soo-bin, who recently captivated audiences with her passionate on-screen romance with Yoo Yeon-seok in MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama 'When the Phone Rings', opened up about her experience in a candid interview on January 8. The interview took place at King Kong by Starship’s office in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, and was covered by multiple outlets, including News1 and Xports News.

Chae described the effort she and Yoo put into creating authentic chemistry, likening their romantic scenes to action sequences. "We filmed every scene with intense focus, almost like we were shooting action scenes," she explained. "We put a lot of thought into each moment, whether it was an emotional confrontation or a kiss scene. Since there’s no one right answer, we worked together to find the best approach for each shot."

The actress also shared a lighthearted anecdote about how her parents reacted differently to her romantic scenes. "My mom found them entertaining and had no issue watching them," Chae said. "But my dad? He’s not great with romantic scenes. He usually turns off the TV every time a love scene comes on. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for him to get through this drama!"

'When the Phone Rings' not only captivated domestic audiences but also gained significant traction internationally. It previously claimed the No. 1 spot in 12 countries, including South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The series concluded on January 4 with a heart-stopping finale as the lead characters, played by Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin, reaffirmed their love in a passionate kiss, promising never to part ways again.

The chemistry between the two leads earned them the Best Couple Award at the 2024 MBC Drama Awards on January 5. Following the win, Chae took to social media to express her gratitude:"I couldn’t fully thank everyone during my acceptance speech, but I’m deeply grateful to all the fans who loved 'When the Phone Rings' and embraced my character Hee-joo with such warmth. Thank you for making this such a meaningful and happy time for me. I’ll continue to take steps forward and greet you with even better performances in the future. See you again soon! 🙏🏻"

Chae’s heartfelt message and her commitment to her craft have further endeared her to fans worldwide. With 'When the Phone Rings' marking yet another milestone in her career, audiences eagerly await her next steps as one of K-drama’s brightest stars.
