I'm not going to analyze the story deeply nor will I give any spoilers so maybe if you're just trying to figure out whether to watch it or not, hope this helps.
I don't think the actual concept of the story is anything original but I'm really suprised at how unpredictable they were able to make it. The time flew by and I didn't feel that there were any dull moments in the plot. Very well written overall.
The Call (2020) 콜 Movie Review
Acting was great and the cinematography was amazing. I've watched some works with Park Shin Hye and I really liked Jeon Jong Seo in Burning, so I expected good acting and I wasn't disappointed.
Even though I didn't really like the ending, that won't affect my rating because I don't think a happy or satisfying ending has to always be the goal in movies. This whole movie made me feel pretty unsettled and anxious but in a good way if that makes sense? (my english vocab isn't the best but I'm trying to think of words to describe my feelings, please understand hehe)
In short: Not for people who don't bother to think after or aren't capable of understanding deep stories in the first place.

Everything You Need To Know About Netflix's Korean Thriller
It’s a real mind-bender in many ways, but it does hold up. Especially since this is a sci-fi story and the movie consistently stays true to the rules and consequences it sets up early on.
Is carried almost entirely by two characters. Obviously, there are quite a lot of supporting characters as well and they do play big parts. Still, the entire plot and development of the story come from just two characters.
These two characters are Seo-yeon and Young-sook. The story begins once these two discover that they can communicate across a 20-year time-gap using a landline phone in the same house. It’s a very simple plot, but one that involves torture, superstition, murder, and wanting desperately to change events of the past.
Park Shin Hye's New Film
Seo-yeon is the character living in the present, so she’s the one we’re following throughout the story. Seo-yeon is portrayed by Park Shin-hye who does an equally impressive job but she has a bit less to work with compared to Jun Jong-seo. You might recognize Park Shin-hye from the South Korean Netflix zombie movie #Alive (2020).
Young-sook is the one living in 1999, so she’s in the past and is living under very dire circumstances. Young-sook is portrayed brilliantly (you’ll see!) by Jun Jong-seo, who you might recognize from the South Korean movie Burning (2018) co-starring

As always, when talking about time travel or communicating with the past, we are dealing with a work of science fiction. Or, to put it plainly, there are no rules but those the author makes. Nothing is “real” or “possible” when related to the world we know. But that does not mean there are plot holes.
Still, when working with science fiction, you do have to create some boundaries and guidelines. And you need to stick to those. Something I actually think
Here, I just want to leave you with this thought; We witness two timelines that are twenty years apart. These two timelines run parallel with one another. Because one is the past, any changes that happen in the past will of course change the future. However, the past isn’t changed until information from the future enables this change.
