Get Ready for a Thrill Ride: Netflix’s Korean Suspense Thriller ‘The Frog’ Premieres August 23
Netflix is set to plunge viewers into a world of suspense and eerie tension with its latest Korean thriller, The Frog. Scheduled to premiere on August 23, this chilling series, directed by Mo Wan-il (known for The World of The Married), promises to deliver a riveting blend of psychological thrills and unexpected twists.
The newly released teaser trailer for The Frog sets a spine-tingling tone, offering a glimpse into the series’ ominous atmosphere. The narrative centers around ordinary lives turned upside down by the arrival of a mysterious guest. As summer unfolds, a tranquil community faces an unsettling disturbance that unravels their sense of peace and safety.
Leading the cast is the distinguished actor Kim Yun-seok, celebrated for his roles in Noryang: Deadly Sea and Escape from Mogadishu. In The Frog, he plays Young-ha, the owner of a serene woodland pension whose idyllic existence is shattered by the arrival of an enigmatic guest. Ko Min-si, known for her role in Sweet Home, takes on the role of Seong-a, a character whose chilling presence and disturbing behavior are highlighted in the trailer, where she is seen covered in blood and letting out a haunting cry.
Adding to the intrigue, Yoon Kye-sang (The Outlaws) stars as Sang-jun, the proprietor of a rural motel who, like Young-ha, finds his world disrupted by a mysterious visitor. Lee Jung-eun (Miss Night and Day, Daily Dose of Sunshine) plays an intuitive cop tasked with investigating the unsettling occurrences that plague both Young-ha and Sang-jun.
The series, penned by writer Son Ho-young and produced by SLL and Studio Flow, promises a high-caliber thriller experience. As the plot delves into themes of isolation and paranoia, viewers will be left questioning the very nature of reality and whether unseen disturbances still make a sound.
Mark your calendars for August 23, when The Frog is available exclusively on Netflix.
