01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

In the present day, Jeon Young-ha runs a quiet guesthouse deep in the forest, a peaceful life he built with his wife. Then a woman named Yoo Seong-a checks in with her young son, and by the time she leaves, everything Young-ha believed about his life has cracked. Twenty years earlier, another guesthouse owner, Koo Sang-joon, took in a guest who turned his family's life into a nightmare that never ended. The Frog moves between the two stories, asking the same question in both: what happens when a stranger walks into your home and your life is never the same again? The title comes from a Korean saying about a frog hit by a stone thrown without thought — an ordinary life destroyed by someone else's carelessness. The Frog premiered on Netflix on August 23, 2024, in eight episodes, starring Kim Yoon-seok, Yoon Kye-sang, Go Min-si and Lee Jung-eun. It is slow, tense and deeply unsettling.

The Oxfea take.

A stranger checks in. A life falls apart.

DON'T LET THEM IN.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Kim Yoon-seok plays a guesthouse owner whose quiet life is shattered by a mysterious guest.
  • Go Min-si plays the guest, Yoo Seong-a, whose calm smile hides something terrifying.
  • Two timelines, twenty years apart, connected by the same terrible question.

Oxfea Score: 7.8/10 — Worth your weekend. Two timelines, two guesthouses, one chilling idea: a stranger's visit can ruin a life. Go Min-si is electrifying, though the two stories never quite connect as tightly as they should.
