In Mo wan-il’s The Frog, a mysterious woman (Go Min-si) shows up at a vacation rental deep in the country asking for lodging for the night. When a murder occurs in her room, the vacation rental owner (Kim Yoon-seok) must decide his level of complicity in the crime. Meanwhile, at a country motel elsewhere, a horrific homicide threatens a couple’s livelihood. The crime thriller series explores the two investigations, their similarities, and the effect they have on the small towns in which they occur. For more Korean mysteries to bring out your inner detective, check out the list below.
A Killer Paradox
In A Killer Paradox, college student Lee Tang murders a stranger only to find out his victim was a homicidal maniac. As he tries to evade suspicion, he embarks on an unintentional killing spree. Starring SAG Award winner Choi Woo-shik and Baeksang Arts Award nominees Son Suk-ku and Lee Hee-jun, the thriller series from Lee Chang-hee (Hell Is Other People) and Kim Da-min (FAQ) follows a hapless young adult as he grapples with the morality of his crimes.
The Bequeathed
In this crime drama, college lecturer Yoon Seo-ha inherits a burial ground from an uncle she’s never met. But the land comes with baggage, and soon after visiting the town, she becomes enmeshed in a string of tragic events. Starring Kim Hyun-joo (JUNG_E), Park Hee-soon (Trolley), and Park Byung-eun (Eve), the thriller series The Bequeathed was co-created by Hellbound and Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho.
Mask Girl
The suspense thriller Mask Girl, from director Kim Yong-hoon (Beasts Clawing at Straws), follows a young office worker, Kim Mo-mi, whose looks cause her to be marginalized by society. To live out her dashed dream of being a pop star, Kim Mo-mi moonlights as a mask-wearing camgirl — but when her identity is exposed, it upends her life. The series, based on the webtoon of the same name, stars newcomer Lee Han-byeol, Baeksang Arts Award winner Ko Hyun-jung, and actor and K-pop star Nana.
