Jeon Young Ha The Frog Netflix

The Frog Series 1 Episode 8 Finale Recap

We Have A Lot To Talk About – The finale begins with Yoon Bo-Min (Lee Jung-Eun) interrogating Yoon Seong-A (Go Min-Si). The whole ordeal turns out to be a complete waste of time and Bo-Min quickly tries of Seong-A’s childish attitude. She tires even quicker of Kim Hwang-Seon (Lee Do-Guk) when he doesn’t give her request for a search team a second thought. His whole attitude changes when she shows him Seong-A’s shopping list.

Minutes before Song Ji-Su (Nam Ji-Woo) arrives to be by Jeon Ui-Seon’s (Roh Yoon-Seo) side, Jeon Yeong-Ha’s (Kim Yoon-Seok) learns that the doctors were able to save her baby. That good news is immediately offset by a call from Choi Gyeong-Nam (Lee Sun-Wook), warning him of Seon-A’s release. A very brief scene between Seong-A and her lawyer will reveal that the release can be attributed to Director Yoo (Lee Seung-Chul). In the process of expressing his displeasure about the release with Bo-Min, Yeong-Ha remembers that Seong-A is leaving the following morning.

With the assistance of several volunteers, the police begin a grid-by-grid search of the cornfield. Seong-A visits the laundromat nearly at the same time and starts a huge fire that results in an explosion. Gyeong-Nam learns about this shortly after the search team discovers Kim Son-Tae (Jo Eun-Sol). By this time, Seong-A has returned to the rental and Yeong-Ha has just been dropped off by a cab driver several miles from the cabin.

Despite Seong-A’s surprise to discover Ha Ja-Sik (Jang Seung-Jo) waiting on her at the cabin, she doesn’t appear shocked when he claims that it was her father who sent him. After Ja-Sik strikes her in the face with the rifle, she confirms Ja-Sik’s claim, which simultaneously reveals Director Yoo is her father. Seong-A’s outrage turns to hysterical laughter the minute Yeong-Ha shows up. Despite her hysterics and incessant nagging about Ha Si-Hyeon’s (Jo Yeo-Joon) death, both men maintain their composure. This is until she seeming convinces Ja-Sik that Yeon-Ha really had something to do with the Si-Hyeon’s death. Yeong-Ha certainly doesn’t help his case when he admits to knowing about the death and failing to do anything. Ja-Sik eventually shoots Yeong-Ha but only manages to hit him in the arm.

By the time Yeong-Ha recovers, Sa-Jik has his attention focused on Seong-A, and Bo-Min has arrived. The situation will become a powder keg with Ja-Sik aiming at Seong-Ha and Bo-Min aiming at him. In the end, Bo-Min will make the fatal mistake of setting her weapon on the ground. Ja-Sik uses the opportunity to shoot at Seong-Ha but Yeong-Ha intervenes. Ja-Sik will lose the rifle in the struggle and Seong-A will use it to shoot Bo-Min in the arm and flee.

Jeon Ui Seon The Frog Hulu

Although nothing more is revealed at the moment, there are a few brief scenes that show Bo-Min taking some time from the police department. Both Ui-Seon and Park Yong-Chae (Lee Nam-Hee) are shown recovering in the hospital. Park will eventually be released but this time, his son and wife (Lee Sun-Joo) will be there to pick him up. He’ll spend some time with them before visiting Yeong-Ha at the now temporarily closed rental. Their discussion will not only reveal that Yeong-Ha has moved in with Ui-Seon in the city, but Ja-Sik killed Seong-A on the day of the confrontation at the rental.

Sometime in the past, Bo-Min will be shown visiting Koo Gi-Ho (Choi Jung-Hoo) at the Lakeview Motel. Their conversation will reveal that she not only knows he killed Ji Hyang-Cheol (Hong Ki-Joon), but she has the evidence to prosecute him for the crime. Despite that, she gives him the impression that she isn’t interested in pursuing it any further.

The story will return to Yeong-Ha who spends some time grocery shopping before joining Yong-Chae at the Laundromat that has been converted into a popular new café being run by the previous owner’s son. There will be a brief discussion about a party later that night before Yeong-Ha returns to the rental to meet with Ui-Seon and Ji-Su. Later that same day, Yeong-Ha receives a phone call from Gi-Hi who says that he wants to see the rental. Yeong-Ha response is, ‘I guess we’ll have a lot to talk about, then.’ This is practically how the series ends.

 

The Frog Finale Review

I’ve seen that the ending got a lot of negative publicity, but I honestly didn’t think it was so bad. I’ve always said that the hardest part of any story would be to create a fulfilling ending, especially when the body is so great. Overall, this was a good series and I was continually surprised throughout, not only by some of the actor’s performances but by some of the plot twists. This very well may not have been the case if it was an American production or if I was more familiar with Asian culture.

My biggest complaint would be the length. Not only are 8 episodes a bit much but the hour-long episode oftentimes made things incredibly boring. I’d give the finale a 6 out of 10.
