For drama enthusiasts, the recently popular series on Netflix titled “Now Dialing” has undoubtedly become a hot topic. Although the show has only released four episodes, it successfully captured the audience’s curiosity, leaving many eagerly anticipating the direction of the plot.
“Now Dialing” stars Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin, and their remarkable chemistry has become another key factor in the show’s popularity. In particular, Chae Soo-bin’s portrayal of a wealthy young woman whose marital life is pre-arranged, often communicating via sign language instead of speech, has been widely recognized for its excellence.
How much do you know about Cai Xiubin’s background story?
Although this plot setup sounds a bit cliché, it is irresistibly engaging. As the call you are currently making becomes available on Netflix, discussions about it are increasing.
The series has quickly risen to the second place on Netflix’s global viewing charts and has become the most popular series in 33 countries, a testament to its high popularity.
The series mainly revolves around a couple who enter into a political marriage. The male lead, Bai Siyuan, is a man who has transitioned from a news anchor to a spokesperson for the presidential office; he is known for his outstanding work ability and is seen as a perfect representative in the eyes of the public.
The female protagonist, Hong Xizhu, is the second daughter of the president of Qingyun Daily. She suffers from aphasia and was arranged to marry Bai Siyan because her sister suddenly disappeared before the wedding.
A chance phone call changed everything. Bai Siyan received a call from someone falsely claiming that his wife had been kidnapped, which stirred up waves in their previously calm lives. A series of suspenseful and conspiratorial events followed, inadvertently altering the emotions between the two.
Although the plot of “Dialing now” has been criticized for lacking novelty, especially with its trope of love after marriage, its arrangement, pacing, and cinematography greatly enhance the appeal of the drama, even making it addictive.
In addition, the drama also sets up numerous foreshadowing elements that keep the audience on edge: What is the true identity and motivation of the kidnapper? What is the true background of the male and female leads? What secrets lie behind the character played by Xuannong, “Chi Xiangyou“? These clues leave the audience eagerly anticipating the next episode.
Outside of the drama, Ryu Jun-yeol and Chae Soo-bin have a rather harmonious relationship. In stark contrast to the tense conflict in the show, they get along very well off-screen.
At the press conference for the phone you are currently dialing, Ryu Jun-yeol revealed that they had collaborated on an advertisement eight years ago.
Cai Xiubin commented that Liu Yanshi is an outstanding senior actor from whom one can learn a lot. Cai Xiubin also participated in the program hosted by Liu Yanshi, titled Just Have Free Time, where the interaction between the two sparked considerable discussion.
Cai Xiubin, the rising actress in the advertising industry, became well-known for her role in Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. Although she is merely the second female lead in the drama, her heartfelt performance won her countless applause and established her position in the entertainment industry.
In recent years, she has also participated in several highly acclaimed works, such as “Not a Robot“, “Fox Bride Star”, “Half a Half”, “Police Academy Rookie”, “Shining Nation”, and “Sweet and Sour Love”, all of which showcased her impressive performances. She is considered a powerful acting talent by many viewers.
Although Cai Xiubin shines brightly in her career, her love life is relatively low-key. As a sweet and charming actress, she has collaborated with several top-tier male actors, but few rumors have emerged, possibly due to her quiet and slow-to-warm personality.
This low-key way of being, along with her adorable personality, has made the audience love her even more.
No matter how things develop, the cute and talented Choi Soo-bin is even more worth looking forward to in the future. I also hope that the phone number you’re dialing now can further enhance her popularity and recognition.
