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.

Good Job. 8.5

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 🔥

Comparable to: The Spies Who Love Me (kdrama); Kiss Sixth Sense (kdrama); The Girl Who Sees Scents (kdrama)

For me this drama is highly underrated. Yes I like the cheesy ridiculous fantasy dramas that are unrealistically predictable and this one is right up my alley. Both main leads are fantastic together (as we already know from Bossam Steal of Fate) they’re just as smexy and fun in this too. The storyline is more of a comedy mystery trio (Eum Moon Su, which has his own sub romance as well). Main leads have a late LATE romance but is well worth it, chemistry oozes throughout anyway.

I’m angry because I didn’t think of this one first 🤣.

My Demon

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)

Director: Kim Jang Han

Writer: Choi Ah Il

Mini-review:

Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.
