first disappointing korean thriller.
i think it tried to be something deep but couldn’t? maybe i couldn’t see the vision. i HATED the psychopath and since her backstory isn’t well-developed i couldn't even understand her psyche. she is just evil, no excuses. we don’t know whether she was actually abused, we don’t know why she is so bent on trying to grab other peoples' properties. the only explanation can be that she is a silver spoon princess and wanted to carve a niche for herself for which she had no talent. i didn’t like yeongha much either. my fav character will be ui-seon, girl acted well and did all she could. the cinematography and the set are really pretty and the production is cool. i think it’s the visual aspect where the series gains points because the story/stories are weak. chanyeol’s acting wasn’t impressive but it was okayish. all in all, slightly disappointed as a korean thriller watcher.Cet avis était-il utile?

EXCELENTE DRAMA
Realmente desde que vi el trailer sabía que estaría bueno el drama pero quede super sorprendida desde el primer episodio y como se fueron desencadenando los eventos y los desenlaces, fue demasiado atrapante todo, me lo vi en un día porque te deja esa sensación de seguir viendo más y más sin parar hasta el final.Los actores fueron perfectos en sus roles sobre todo Chanyeol y Minsi que interpretaron a sus personajes excelente
Cada música de fondo fue perfecta en cada escena y el suspenso es muy bueno 10/10.

oscura
empecé a verla sin haber leído la sinopsis, pensé que iba a ser un thriller más pero sobrepasó mis expectativas por completo.cualquier persona que la vea va a coincidir en que el cast es increíble pero minsi se destacó con una habilidad maravillosa para ser la psicópata perfecta. también quiero decir que chanyeol evolucionó mucho en su actuación y lo demostró con giho.
si te gustó extracurricular, the frog es para vos.
***el primer episodio va de la mano con un infanticidio, así que si es un tema que las sensibiliza les recomendaría que no la vean.

What would you do in extreme circumstances?!
This captivating thriller boasts stunning cinematography and vibrant colors. The first few episodes are a bit slow and confusing, but after that, everything becomes clear, and you will be hooked.The first storyline reveals the profound impact of bullying on victims and the consequences for bystanders' inaction, who often suffer the most. The second storyline explores how people choose to look the other way to protect themselves without considering the consequences and are consumed by guilt. But what would you do in extreme circumstances? I really like the message in this drama. Also, I like the two timelines that intertwine with each other as both males end up in similar situations because of their actions.
The acting is amazing, and Min Si slayed the role! I found the ending very satisfying. I am glad they did not end it as a cliffhanger, as they like to do these days.

Interesting plot(s) but the actresses stole the show!
Another one of those mystery/thriller k-dramas to binge, kind of like A Killer Paradox. Ordinary gets involved with crime and has to dodge the consequences somehow. In that sense, maybe this drama could be boring or generic. The vacation home setting was a fun concept. I liked the multiple perspectives. Though it was confusing for almost the majority of the 8 episodes, I'd say the payoff for when things start making sense was pretty satisfying. The wrap up wasn't my favorite but it didn't offend me.But the 3 significant females roles were so captivating, definitely the best parts were when they were on screen front and center, so for that I'd recommend watching it. You'll be so impressed with the level of energy and control they put into their characters. Additionally, I loved that they were capable and active characters with significance rather than plot devices. I'll praise them again and say that they were the most memorable aspect for me to take away from the series, because other than that the drama could feel tedious or repetitive given the plot(s). Maybe it just wasn't my thing though, I wasn't into A Killer Paradox or The Glory or Little Women so much for the plot either. And I'd say The Frog reminds me of those series.

An intriguing and intense drama ?
Rayorgold 24 minutes agoI’m soooooooo very in love with this, that mf psycho girl is soooooooooo gooood, the murders were so intriguing and intense at the same time,don’t even hesitate to watch if you are fan of thriller and psychopath stories it’s a 100/10 for me It’s been long I concentrated on a drama and did not want it to end, still eased viewers by cracking little jokes, with the intense mysterious sounds, plus lots of jump scares ,All the actors were exceptional, I felt their intense look and interactions and Gi Ho tattoo on his arm at the end,is looking so cute,the ending was satisfying also.

Best actress award, Go Min Si?
The story can be a little confusing but once I understood, it was mind blowing. 10/10The acting, Go Min Si is just WOW! 10/10
I've already watched a couple episodes again because it was that good. Only thing I'd change would've been the ending. I would've preferred it having an open ending.
I highly recommend if you enjoy thriller or noir type movies/shows.

Gripping Plot and acting
The Frog is a touching and thoughtful series that offers a deep dive into the complexities of familial bonds and personal growth. It is a must-watch for those who appreciate character-driven stories with emotional depth. The series is a reminder that understanding and reconciliation often require stepping out of one’s own limited viewpoint to see the bigger picture, much like a frog emerging from its well.Overall, The Frog is a beautifully crafted drama that resonates with universal themes of family and redemption, making it a worthy addition to the world of Korean television dramas.

"The Frog" or "In the Woods with No One"
"In the Woods with No One," literally translated from the Korean title "아무도 없는 숲속에서", could have been an English title for "The Frog." However, they chose "The Frog" instead, likely because it refers to an old Korean proverb: "A frog dies from a stone thrown inadvertently," meaning that people's actions can have unintended negative consequences for others. "In the Woods with No One," on the other hand, refers to a famous philosophical paradox about perception and reality: "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Or does silence prevail?", which is a recurring theme in the drama."The Frog" is a gripping psychological thriller where tension and mystery prevail from start to finish. The series skillfully alternates between two time periods: the past and the present. In the 2000s, Koo Sang-Jun and his partner run a motel in the forest, which turns into a nightmare when a serial killer staying at their motel commits a murder. In the present, Jeon Yeong-Ha, the owner of a guesthouse, faces upheaval when a young woman staying there commits a murder before leaving. Parallels between the past and present quickly become apparent. Are these stories doomed to repeat themselves, or will the outcome be different this time?
This drama invites viewers to reflect on reality, perception, and the consequences of their actions. I particularly appreciated this introspective aspect, which challenges us to consider the complexity of human consciousness. Our choices, even those that seem minor, can have unexpected repercussions. For example, inviting someone to your motel for a bit of extra cash or covering up evidence of a crime might appear insignificant, but the consequences can resurface later. The heavy, immersive atmosphere —like a marshland surrounded by frogs— deepens this reflection. Plus, the acting is simply outstanding.
However, one issue I encountered was with the transitions between the past and the present. These shifts can sometimes feel abrupt and confusing, lacking clear connections, which can disrupt the viewing experience. Episode 6 in particular, while marking an important event in the narrative, completely threw me off.
In conclusion, "The Frog" is an excellent thriller that deserves to be watched for its profound reflections, captivating atmosphere, and impressive performances.
Thank you for reading :)

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.
