Le Frog

After bing-watching the whole series today... It is true, it is slow paced (at least the first 3 episodes) However I find that necessary to build the tension, exactly the way it does.

Go Minsi's acting is formidable, which by the way, it is not a surprise. Her voice, visuals, acting skills... She nailed the role.

The series is really well written and you can feel the heavy atmosphere, I ran out of air a few times while watching it. It feels like a live action of a Stephen King's book. Everything is on point: from the actors and actresses to the story, from the photograpy to the music.

Give it a try, you won't regret it!

Plot just doesn't make sense, it assumes everyone around Ko Min-Si is moron to make a great thriller queen character strong.

I think the plot of this drama is like Japanese Isekai anime, where characters say "Is this the 'Table'? Incredible idea!"

Characters other than Ko just doesn't know things as easy as Table. I would say it is an insult to the viewers just like another review says.

The acting and mise en scene is great. Ko is portrayed really pretty and gives another reason to watch the drama till the end.

In conclusion, I would say there are better series to watch on Netflix if you don't understand Korean without subtitles or have special interest in Korean dramas.

Those who gave this a bad review didn't understand the story at all. And don't have respect for the actors who played their respective roles in this intriguing narrative. The actress who played a psychopath did very well in this series, and I also applaud all the cast. Everyone was just great in their role! I like how it showed the aftermath of the murders - the psychological damage, the impact to the motel as a business, and the impending murders waiting to happen when you turn a blind eye. The pacing was just right for me. Though the rising action happened on episode 6, the happenings leading to the last three episodes were gripping. Well done! I wanted something a bit different and got it.

The suspense isn't created by deduction and missing pieces, but the fact you have no idea when the characters will make dumb decisions. This is one of those movie that try to be "artistic" and "philosophical" but failed because it lacks logic and depth. It try to make sense of things with superficial memory and trauma: some very cliche background stories without much resolutions. Though not all scenes and arcs are terribly made, a few are enough to ruin the entire plot. Also I'm sick of having cheap boring psychopathic villains, who had no depth and kill for fun. It's just lazy writing with zero effort. If you're looking for suspense and thriller, Signal and Voice are both much better than this, though they also suffer from boring villains.

If you're expecting a high-paced thriller that leaps from one plot twist to another, "The Frog" might have you croaking in frustration. This miniseries is more of a slow, deliberate hop through murky waters, and you'll need the patience of a saint (or a snail) to fully appreciate it. The acting is solid, especially the lead with her psychotic charm, but boy, does this series take its sweet time.

The first half feels like you're in a fog, trying to connect timelines and wondering if the writers are as lost as you are. Characters chew loudly (yes, really) and the show drags in parts-enough to make you consider speed-watching, if only Netflix allowed it. But stick with it, and the pieces start to come together in a weirdly satisfying way.

It's not perfect, and it sure isn't for everyone, but if you like your mysteries with a side of confusion and a dash of "what-the-heck-was-that," then "The Frog" is worth a watch-just keep some snacks handy for those slow moments, because you'll need them.
