When the Phone Rings ended with 12th episode airing last night. The nationwide viewership rating failed to achieve double digits with only 8.6% but this still marked to be their all time high personal record throughout its run.
It was a happy ending. It turned out the secret that got revealed by 406 to Saeon was about Paik Jang Ho being the mastermind of the car accident that the Hong siblings were involved in during their childhood. It took the life of Heejoo and Ina's little brother so Saeon felt responsible and shameful to them that leads him to going far from Heejoo. Saeon ended up in Argan where rebels exists but Heejoo went after him. There, Heejoo and Saeon reunited and later marry each other as Heejoo and Yu Yeon.
406 died in the hands of the police and his mother got life imprisonment. Ui-yong ended up losing in the presidential race showing how his public service career got ruined. Min Do Ki confessed to his sins and got imprisoned for 5 years. Heejoo's mom had a change of heart and is now a kind parent to Heejoo and same goes with her husband. Hong Ina apologized to Heejoo for how she was to her during their childhood and is now working on getting closer with her as a big sister. Park Do Jae came back to Saeon's side, Yuri and Sang Woo ended up together and everyone else was happy. THE END.
Hmmmm.... It's a happy ending but if I'm gonna be honest, I was really disappointed with the ending. I know that it's only after the webtoon but still, the ending turned out to be too much of a stretch. I was laughing my ass off when Heejoo stubbornly went after Saeon in Argan where rebels exist and ended up getting caught in the end. And obviously, Saeon came to the rescue. lol I was like, WTF was that?! Hahaha I know the writer wanted to exaggerate how much Heejoo loves Saeon that she's willing to risk her life and same goes with Saeon but still... like wtf was that! Can't they think of a better and a little 'realistic' for an ending? Suddenly they're invincible from an on-going war in Argan because love conquers all. 🤣 I find that very ridiculous. 
When the Phone Rings, I thought it was overly hyped. I admit that it started really veeeeery interesting but I dont know...when Saeon and Heejoo came together, the excitement faltered for me. Everything became overly sweet and at most, scenes were a little too cringey. But overall, it's still a decent and fun to watch drama. Kudos to the cast especially Yeon Yun Seok.
