In the Netflix drama “The Frog,” actress Go Min-si, 29, who plays the lead character Yoo Sung-a, desperately pleads over the phone to the pension owner, Young-ha (portrayed by Kim Yoon-seok), who has disappeared without a trace.
“Ajeossi (Mister)….. When are you coming back here?”
Her face is smeared with blood — evidence of a recent killing. Is there a more chilling way to plead for help?
In this drama, released on Aug. 23, Go unveils a portrayal of madness unlike anything seen before. The “sweet intern Go Min-si” from the tvN variety 카지노 show Jinny’s Kitchen 2 — who was so concerned about making mistakes with food orders that she avoided drinking water to minimize bathroom breaks — is nowhere to be found.
Instead, she transforms into a character who kills without remorse, embroiled in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with Bomin — a former violent crimes detective now serving as a police chief, played by Lee Jung-eun.
In an interview with the Hankook Ilbo, Go said, “I was really curious about how international viewers would react, and they said, ‘A rare Korean female villain has appeared in a crime thriller.'”
Go’s daring performance in “The Frog” showcases her as an unpredictable actor, like a rugby ball that could bounce in any direction.
