The Frog

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Frog (2024, South Korea)

Director: Mo Wan Il

Writer: Son Ho Young

Mini-review:

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy The Frog so much. I guess I was in the mood for a dark, propulsive thriller. I've seen some people say it's 'slow', but like... where? This kept me glued to the screen from the very first episode, and it got more and more intense throughout the next ones. It even ventures into psychological horror territory from time to time, which made it even more fun to me. The writing isn't perfect (some of the characters aren't as well developed as they should), but the directing and the acting more than make up for it. Go Min Si turns in a particularly strong performance, and it's clear she gave it her all. I'm not gonna say this is the best thriller k-drama I've seen, but it was definitely enjoyable as hell.

Alright, I finally got my hands on this full ... presscon? cast reaction? Whatever.

I already shared some screenshots from this before (by some people on Twitter) and after finally watching the full version, I fell like I need to share the rest of the season 2 world building and character lores mentioned and discussed to you guys in here (and also major spoilers for season 3)

P.S. I could be wrong on some of the points here (either misinterpreting or not paying enough attention), so please correct me if I do in the reply section

Season 2

I'm still confused af on this line : "he killed his original body as well as his personality, eventually turning into the twisted monster that he is now". Like so, does it refer to Sang-won killing his original body in season 2 or is it about monster Sang-won killing the real Sang-won?

I still don't get this line too, so interpret it however you want : "The child covered in black?" "This is where what's remaining of Sang-won disappears, uncovering the child."

Chan-young was a baseball player. Ye-seul was one of the cheerleaders

Oh, apparently monsterization does still happened inside the stadium. That's why there's a regular daily checking. Anyone showing symptoms will be out in the isolation place (yeah that place where they put the sick mom in). Some lived, some died inside the isolation => might be why Chief Ji keeping her monster son secluded somewhere deep inside the stadium

Hyun-su cut Yi-kyung's daughter hair the same style as him, hence how they're being similar appearance wise

The live action crew is adapting Shotgun Boy into Netflix Sweet Home

Yi-kyung blames herself for how her child turned out to be with her monster-turning power

Yi-kyung's inability to give affection or even touched her child stems from the fact that monsters are created from human desires, so she didn't want her child to have desire (awfully familiar with a particular old man *side glance*)

Yep, you guessed it. These three (Hyun-su, Eun-yu, and Chan-young) are dense as fuck about their own feelings to each other (minus Hyun-su to Chan-young and vice versa ofc)

Yi-kyung's daughter views Hyun-su as her own family even more than her biological mother. Because they're similar and he's the only person she could hold hands with without her power reacting

Hyun-su uses red ribbons to mark the safe area for Eun-yu because color red stands out among the greenery of Seoul post time skip

The monster cocoons are shaped like a heart because monsterization manifests from human desires

The "real Jung Wui-myeong" is one of the scientists. Sang-won (or monster Sang-won depending how you interpret the earlier points) took his identity and used it as his own, probably to separate himself from his old human self

Lmao, not them calling Sang-won's family as family of evil and there's no good apple in it. That's so fucking foul

Sang-wook is still there somewhere (I already shared this one before)

Sang-won's original abilities include the Medusa touch he did to Hyun-su in episode 3

Oh wait, Yi-kyung survived?! I thought she died after her fight with Hyun-su (uh oh *nervous glance to every instance of me mentioning "her death" in replies*)

Monster Hyun-su act according to what Hyun-su thinks and desires (I had shared this one before)

Monster Hyun-su is more proactive and extrovert (is the extrovert part really necessary?")

Season 3 rough summary

Family drama : Nam Sang-won starts a bunch of trouble (this bitch) in order to create a world he dreams of. There are family reunions and conflicts between spouses. He also meets his child (uh oh). They fight for her custody. This custody case didn't need a court (fuck, oh come on 😂). Yi-kyung wouldn't just talk it out. She'd fight until one is dead

Sibling drama : Eun-yu will meet Eun-hyeok again, but I'm not sure it'll make her happy

Second male lead struggle : Chan-yeong faces even more hardships as the story progresses. But even then, he gives up a lot just to protect Eun-yu. He starts to understand the monsters more. There's a lot on his mind as the story goes on.

More monster Hyun-su : Hyun-su lets go of himself and lets out the monster. But the monster doesn't just do its thing. He reads Hyun-su's mind and acts as he wants.

Another Hyun-su and Yi-kyung interaction : And later on, he interacts with Yi-kyung as well. The emotion it brings also felt huge. In the narration, he tells Eun-yu how much pain Yi-kyung is in and that he has to stop it all himself. So I'm sure Hyun-su sparked a change in Yi-kyung's heart. That'll continue in Season 3.

Park Eun Kyung FW 2004

[dylan-rodrigues]

Why is this Joseon storyline much more interesting than the modern one? 💀 A bright servant girl, a nice noblewoman suffering thru the tragedy of losing a child, a mountain spirit in love with the latter, the honourable cop guy in love with the servant... U could make a whole separate drama about this.

[manawari]

Stars |

Ships: Jinhae, Minlee, Choibaek, Heeseok, Woozhi, Taenoru, & Sungpark.

Jinhae:

Jin-woo wanted to share this feeling, this moment, with someone else. The feeling of the world not on his shoulders, but holding it tenderly in his hands, appreciating each detail that made it whole. In every flaw, and in every crease, there was always going to be a person who would cherish it. . . Just like the one beside him. Her touch was warm on his hand, he slowly intertwined their fingers together, admiring how well their hands fit. It was as though he was holding his own world. The world that once drifted from his fingertips, now returned to where it supposed to be. Right beside him, in his arms, under his loving gaze which had never changed since the first time he looked at her that way. Hae-in breathed as she leaned her back against his chest, staring at the sky above them. Jin-woo wrapped his arms around her tighter and pressed his lips on the crown of her head, he felt her squeeze his hand, causing him to smile. He would never wish to trade anything else for this moment — he found peace in her presence, radiating warmth in parts of his soul that had been long shattered. He could spend eternity just only with her as they watched the stars together. And his heart, once hardened and lumpy, seemed to soften and become untangled now.

Minlee:

A circle. A diamond. A flower. Ju-hee traced various shapes with her finger across the sky, filled with bright stars that lit throughout the quiet park. Underneath her was a soft blanket to prevent her bare arms from itching against the prickles of the grass, a jacket was also layered over her lap, protecting the bare skin under her dress against the frigid air. The owner of the jacket itself silently napped beside her. Byung-gyu had fallen asleep after minutes of gazing at the stars with her on the ground. Ju-hee lowered her hand as she glanced at him, smiling at the sight of his handsome face as he slept, not a mere trace of perturbation was found on his features. She wished for him to stay that way. Behind his charming smile was a void of poignant memories. Ju-hee knew she could never erase them, but she could always be his safe place. Placing her hand on his chest, she raised her head to press her lips on his forehead, Ju-hee leaned back again and then saw his hand on top of her own. It was time for him to wake up anyway. Ju-hee chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder this time, Byung-gyu now held her hand with both of his own as he fixed his attention to the sky, fully awake, and watched his lover's finger trace across the stars, drawing an infinity symbol.

Choibaek:

Smoke faintly wafted in the air. His fingers held the cigar between his lips, breathing in another smoke before gently releasing it through his parted mouth, watching it flew away along with his problems. It was only one of those few times Choi Jong-in could get some moment for himself. Peeling off his position as a guild master, a hunter, and become the man whom he really was. Alive. He wondered while gazing at the stars whether or not he truly wished to be left alone, as the heaviness nibbled in his chest, nibbling, succumbing, cold as though the flame had gone out. Perhaps deep inside, he yearned for something more. Perhaps he expected another amidst his time alone. And turned out, the answer he needed was in the jacket that was placed upon his shoulders. Jong-in quickly turned his head and saw none other than Yoon-ho, who glanced at him with his warm orange eyes. The temperature from the jacket ignited his soul once again. Lips curving into a smile, Jong-in removed his cigarette and burned it into ashes with a snap of his fingers; he inched his hand closer until he intertwined it with Yoon-ho's. The night was cold and dark, Jong-in wished to return the same warmth — if not, more — Yoon-ho had given him. After all, what else could he do as a fire mage?

Heeseok:

She was waiting, looking at the stars from the window of her living room, like a silent prayer. For him. She knew it was a futile thing to worry about a person who was as ruthless and powerful as him. But who could blame her? Every night was a repetition she never wished to break — the feeling of his presence arriving in the vicinity, the sight of his warm eyes, the smile that locked the skeletons deep within his soul, and the touch that had been tainted in unimaginable ways. Nonetheless, Hee-jin knew that to love was to risk. . . Then a silhouette appeared in the center of the window. She quickly set her feet on the floor and rushed toward Eun-seok, wrapping her arms around him. He asked her what was wrong, she shook her head and smiled as she faced him. His eyes were gentle, only reserved for her and those whom he trusted, and his arms around her made her feel secured like how she never had. Eun-seok smiled and pressed his lips on her forehead.

Woozhi:

Jin-chul slumped back against his seat, grunting as he rubbed his temples. Small stacks of papers and folders stood on his desk, the left side had taller stacks which insinuated that they were done, but there were still unfinished work to do. It appeared Jin-chul's stamina was now low and he did not think he was able to leave his office spotless. His gaze shifted to the clear window where the stars glimmered throughout the darkened sky. For once, he felt serenity. The sudden homesickness. Without a further debate with himself, Jin-chul got up from his chair, with such force that sent it spinning as he grabbed his coat and exited the office, not sparing a last glance at his messy desk. There were not a lot of employees in the building as most had already gone home, so it was silent when Jin-chul was heading to the exit. His car was at the shop to be repaired, which meant he would be taking a bus on the way home. . . But when he got out of the building, someone was already waiting for him. Jin-chul did not have to guess as his instincts could already tell the face beneath the hat. He went up and gently lifted the brim to face a pair of glowing yellow eyes interlocking with his gaze and lips that was curled into a warm grin. Jin-chul didn't fight back against his smile. Zhigang removed his raised hand and intertwined their fingers together. And at last, Jin-chul's heart became more serene and all pressure had been drifted away. It made him want to lay on the couch and lean on his beloved and then have him rub his arms until he dozed into slumber.

Taenoru:

A shivering air embraced him when he pulled the door shut, Tae-gyu cupped his hands around his mouth to breathe onto his palms, warming it. He shoved them into his pockets as he proceeded to walk. . . Only soon to pause when his caught something near the tree. A hooded figure stood next to it and their head was directed to the night sky. A smile grew on the archer's face, he did not need another second to recognize who it was — someone had appeared to be waiting for him, so Tae-gyu made his way to the hunter and placed his hand on the shoulder, causing the person to flinch from his touch. A chuckle escaped from his mouth while Minoru glared in embarrassment. Tae-gyu leaned forward to plant a quick kiss on his lover's cheek and held their hands, feeling Minoru relaxed; they began walking together afterward. Nobody else had to know their little secret. Only the stars were witnesses to the blossoming romance between the two hunters from different guilds, different countries, yet had their hearts knew no boundaries.

Sungpark:

With her silver dress and long, flowing black hair, Ill-hwan could have sworn he had married a deity. Her smile seemed as though it was as bright as the full moon. And her eyes sparkled like the stars in the dark sky. She reached out to him, he gladly took her hand. . . And for once, Ill-hwan felt as if he was young again. Kyung-hye wrapped her arms around his neck and Ill-hwan gently pressed his forehead against hers, watching her close her eyes as he began to sway their bodies, listening to the music etched on his mind with a memory flushing in. Kyung-hye was in her wedding dress as his newly wedded wife while he was in his suit, standing together beneath the night sky, far from the reception to be in their own world. He'd do anything to be in that moment again. It was the moment of a sealed promise for their eternal love and Ill-hwan cherishing her as part of his soul.
