SPOILER: A lista de crimes da gata só aumentava.
Vou começar dizendo que apenas me toquei que uma história se passava no passado e a outra se passava no futuro quando o dono do antigo hotel disse que o filho tinha 13 anos.FINALMENTE fez sentido o pq da foto do hotel da policial estava escrito o ano 2001!
As atrizes que fazem a policial nova e mais velha são meus xodós. Eu literalmente assistiria qualquer produção que qualquer uma das duas estivesse. Principalmente a policial que é tipo top3 atrizes coreanas para mim. SÓ QUE KKKKKKK só caiu a ficha que eram a mesma pessoa quando me perguntei "porra cade a querida daquela atriz? não apareceu mais poxa" AÍ JUNTEI AS PEÇAS E FIQUEI AAAAAAAH AGORA TUDO FAZ SENTIDOOOO
e assim gente nossa se eu tivesse notado isso antes ia ter mudado toda minha perspectiva sobre aa história. tenho certeza!
finalmente entender o pq ela voltou para aquela cidade, entender pq a mais nova e a mais velha tinham o mesmo apelido sendo que eram para ser pessoas diferentes kkkk, saber que ela foi sim para a sessao de crimes la da area que ela queria... foi uma sensação muito boa!
Dou nota 9 para a historia pq porra velho foi de fuder ele sofrendo tudo aquilo e não ir denunciar sabe?! isso me irritou muito mereceu levar um apavoro da assassina! Agora, vendo o quão poderoso é o pai dela e saber que poderia se livrar facil do assassinato de uma criança foi até melhor ser assim.
Amei as atuações e nossa só tinha ator que gosto e sei que são bons sabe? A atriz da policial me fez ter gas para assistir assim que ela apareceu pq sei que ela não pega roteiro ruim. A atriz de intensivao de amor ta muito bem eu adoro como ela muda bem a personalidade da personagem sempre que necessário. Ela foi assim me surpreendeu pq só tinha visto ela adolescente e não adulta.
O ator que fez o pai dela magnifico! Eu sentia o desprezo que ele sentia pela mulher de longe sabe?! uau!
a atriz da dona do hotel sensacional tambem porra eu fiquei muito puta com a personagem. ela interpretou bem demais vsf eu não vi por um segundo a atriz ali só imaginava a personagem. impecável.
e a atriz que fez a assassina ne hahahah cara adorei ela. confesso que torcia para ela acabar matando mesmo ai serio povo também se faz às vezes.
AMEI como tudo foi encaixado certinho sem
ponta solta e contado sem correr. Eu não parava de pensar na arma gente. Só conseguia pensar que fudeu por conta da balística!!! Além de que armas daquele tamanho ou qualquer arma de fogo na coreia do sul dificilmente cai nas mãos do povo geral então para trem ia ser feio. Me deu um alivio quando a queen policial deixou passar. O garoto de sla uns 30 anos agora(?) merecia isso.
Bom, de resto fiquei feliz com a proposta geral da história! Ansiosa para os edits e espero que vingue muito. Adoro assistir drama novinho pq vou acompanhando o pessoal descobrindo ele e ficando chocado com a história ahahahhaa ❤️❤️❤️
PS: dei 2,5 para o valor de assistir novamente pq series no geral de investigação assim eu não tenho interesse particular de assistir de novo. Eu
gosto da emoção da primeira vez, de assistir sem saber de nada. Esses 2,5 seria pq gostaria de assistir novamente apenas para compreender melhor as cenas dos personagens do passado e do futuro. De resto, não.
Caso você seja ao contrário desconsidere pq eu assistiria de novo se não fosse por isso. ✨

This Is Cinema ! ?
Directing - cinematography - acting - photography just amazing ~~ Very High level⭐️ Magistrale ⭐️
La réalisation - la cinématographie - la photographie - le jeu d'acteurs ~ C'est du très très haut niveau !
Très bon Thriller psychologique qui joue énormément avec la "timeline".
Il a vraiment un air de "Strangers from hell", les émotions, la tension etc.. mais au final "The frog" est moins sombre et moins Hard.
J'ai l'habitude des thrillers coréen qui finissent en "queue de poisson" mais cette fois-ci il y a une bonne conclusion
Ce drama n'est PAS destiné à ceux qui sont obnubilés par la Romance ou cherchant de l'Action. C'est du pur Thriller.

It's one of those series that keeps you hooked from beginning to end
It's one of those series that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. The villain's performance is impressive, a character without any empathy. From the beginning to the middle of the series it is difficult to understand the connection between the two stories in different times and spaces. But then everything falls into place.It's one of those series that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. The villain's performance is impressive, a character without any empathy.

The frog
Go Minsi did amazing job as a psycho here. It was sometimes unpredictable but maybe because of time changes - at the beginning I had hard time understanding time line (or maybe I was just too stupid to understand). I do not know if it is a spoiler - the policeman who falled in love with Go Minsi's character was soo annoying.Acting on point, plot was interesting with not too fast action to be honest,

Not a masterpiece
I feel like the show would get more recognition l if it was just about the serial killer part. Honestly, the plot had potential, the two-dimensional plotline was a good idea, but they focused too much on the wrong story. The serial killer part was so much more interesting, the actors are talented, and the slow burn wasn’t that bad but the plot was going around in circles, because they make way too many episodes. I wouldn’t say it’s a waste of time but it’s definitely not the masterpiece they sold us.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Hat and spirit level
After watching many of the Netflix original K-dramas, I was skeptical going into this one. Oh boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. It's been a while since I watched something that keeps you guessing all the time. Even if you really think you know what's coming next, this gives a little doubt that doesn't go away. I have to applaud the writers for creating a rare masterpiece. Everything about this is art - the cinematography, the production design, the timing, the music, the motive. One thing that I would emphasize is how, at the start, you can't understand the actions of the pension owners, but with time, everything starts to make more sense. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
RESEÑA <3
Intrigante desde el primer momento. Inquietante, contiene acción.Empecé a ver este drama porque me llamo la atención el título y no me arrepiento.
Me recuerda a alguna serie americana.
La verdad, que el final me costó entenderlo pero la serie está muy bien.
Puede que en algún capítulo, me haya hecho un lío, pero luego, lo pillas rápido, además, está bien porque te pone muscos recuerdos.
Los actores de 10, aunque yo debo de decir que tengo un favorito, y no diré quien para no hacer spoiler.

If a Tree Falls in the Forest, Does It Make a Sound, or Is There Only Silence?
The Frog is one of those rare, mind-bending shows that lingers with you. It’s complex, layered, and constantly challenges your perceptions. From the start, I had no idea what to expect—even after reading the synopsis! Frequent time skips shift the plot between past and present, creating a puzzle that keeps you questioning until you piece it all together.The show is built on a fascinating metaphor: it challenges viewers to imagine themselves as a frog struck randomly by a stone at the side of the road. Here, the serial killer represents that sudden, unpredictable “stone,” while the vacation house owner is the “frog,” forced to endure the consequences of something utterly out of their control. Through this setup, The Frog explores humanity’s instinct to rationalize why things happen. We’re conditioned to believe, “This happened to me because of something I did,” but the randomness in this story dismantles that logic. The unsettling truth becomes clear: some things just happen, regardless of our actions, and sometimes even the smallest bit of control is just an illusion.
The background music played a crucial role, adding suspense to every scene and amplifying the tension. The cast truly brought their characters to life. Go MinSi is unforgettable as the psychopath killer; she balances fragility and toughness in a way that sends chills down your spine. It was my first time seeing Kim Yoon Seok, and he brought a compelling mix of kindness, mystery, and a protective edge—he’s the type of character who seems okay with being messed with, but don’t even think about going near his friends and family. Lee Jung Eun stepped away from her usual warm-hearted mother roles, shining as a cool, badass cop. Although I wished she had more screen time, she made every moment count.
I ended up binge-watching the entire series in one day—it’s that gripping. This type of drama is definitely best experienced the first time, and while I may not re-watch it, the entire series was truly an intense journey worth taking and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves psychological thrillers.

Bom, mas faltou conexão
No começo achei meio chato e confuso mas os 3 últimos episódios foram incríveis, só achei que os dois casos não tiveram uma grande relação, faltou ligação. Não vi a necessidade de colocar dois casos que não estavam realmente conectados um com o outro, sendo que dava muito bem pra entender a história atual sem narrar a do passado. Se tivessem focado somente na casa de temporada, talvez conseguissem explorar mais a história.A fotografia é linda e as atuações são muito boas também, em especial a da Minsi, ela realmente deu o nome nesse drama.
Queria a história da psicopata tivesse sido mais explorada, pra mim foi o que mais faltou. Mas em geral eu gostei, é um bom suspense.

The equivalent of a summer thriller novel.
It's summer, it's hot, you are on holidays on the beach, you got a cheap book at the kiosk, it's a thriller you sit down and read it. You know it's not high literature, but damn is it a page turner? This is exactly what the Frog was to me.As a short thriller it works, it very well filmed, the locations are beautiful, it keeps the tension and the acting is excellent.
It has its own flaws and some parts of the plot don't work out well, but in general it's very enjoyable. And since it's so short, it's free of filler content that would have maybe dragged the plot too much.
My favorite story was in fact the 2000s murder case, I feel it was better set, the story was darker, and the delivery of the revenge was better. Episode 6 stands as my favorite episode, it's pure action, like almost a spy movie and the build-up, learning that Giho did see HyangCheol, and pay-out, when he calls himself the ghost and Hyangcheol recognizes him, to that small smile on Giho's lips, it's great. That and the conclusion of Giho crying, finally or somehow free of that burden. I don't know, to me, it worked better than the main storyline.
But the main storyline was also great, specially because of the acting between Go Min Si and Kim Yoon Seok,.

Nice watch.
I'm not usually one to fall for the psycho-killer character, but I guess I do when it's Go MinSi. I initially clicked on this show because she was on the cover, but I was happy to find out Roh YoonSeo was in it too.Aside from the actresses I like, this show was pretty good. I liked so many things about it. First of all, the score really enhanced each scene and was very thrilling. Most scores aren't memorable to me, but for some reason, the score in this show was. I also loved the acting; Go MinSi played her character very well. All of the other actors/actresses did as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists in this drama, too.
The one flaw this show has is that there were two episodes in the middle that felt a bit slow and long, so if you don't have much patience with dramas, this one isn't for you.

Really makes you think...
This is my first completed k-drama and first review so here's my short take on it. Contains spoilers.The show has some really great actors whose acting drags you into the story especially Go Min-Si (plays Yoo Seong-A). She really managed to nail Yoo Seong-A's psyochopathic nature, not only through the emotional indifference and creepyness which she portrays. But most of all through the moments when things don't go her way and she shows her emotions, for example when realizing that she might be put in jail by the evidence that Jeon Yeong-Ha had or the times when she was face to face with her ex husband.
Even though the acting was great, you can't make a good story without great writing, and it delivered. I believe that the writing was particularly good at illustrating the consequences caused by different ways of reacting to an event, which in this case was the murder at the motell and then at the vacational home. At the motell murder, the case had a very speedy conclusion and the murderer got caught rather quickly. The consequence of the killer getting caught was that the motell then got associated to the killing and who would want to sleep at a motell which people have died at? This further on leads to the ruin of the family owning the motell. The other side is the one that Jeon Yeong-Ha chose to take, which was to look the other way and try to forget the incident. This in turn allowed him to keep having customers visiting the vacational, but also allowed a killer to roam free, which put his loved ones in harms way.
The conclusion that I drew from the different incidents was that no matter which way you react, if you're the frog that gets hit by the stone, there is no easy way to recover.
Anyway pretty good show for my first completed k-drama, it left some loose ends and the switch between timelines was sometimes a bit odd so I'll give it an 9/10.
