The Frog, an upcoming Netflix original K-drama, is yet another web series starring Go Min-si releasing on the platform.This will mark Go Min-si’s third collaboration with Netflix, the other two beingLove AlarmandSweet Home. Released in 2019,Love Alarmwas Netflix’s first original K-drama and marked the beginning of a new era for how other countries consume Korean shows. Although Go Min-si played a supporting role inLove Alarm, her character was a highlight of the show alongside names like Song Kang, Kim So-hyun, and Jung Ga Ram.
Shortly after playing Gul-mi inLove Alarm, Go Min-si would join the cast of another Netflix original K-drama.The actress starred as Lee Eun-yu inSweet Home, which was also a game-changing Korean series.Sweet Homewas the first Korean show to enter Netflix’s Global Top 10, prompting the streamer to continue developing original webseries alongside plenty of other licensed titles.

It seems like she is now the “Daughter of Netflix” indeed.
Go Min-si & Song Kang’s K-Drama Careers Are Tied To Each Other
Go Min-si & Song Kang Have Been In Two Netflix Originals Together
It is difficult to discuss Song Kang’s Netflix success without mentioning Go Min-si’s career and vice versa. The story of how Korean dramas became so popular on Netflix intersects with the story of Song Kang and Go Min-si’s friendship, which traces back toLove Alarm.Song Kang played the leading role of Sun-oh inLove Alarm, and while his character was involved in a complex love triangle, he also interacted a lot with Go Min-si’s character. The two stars would reunite less than a year later forSweet Homeas Hyun-su and Eun-yu.
HavingThe Frogrelease shortly afterSweet Homeseason 3 is a great idea considering how great Go Min-si was in the latter.
Most Song Kang K-dramas are available on Netflixworldwide, including traditional broadcast shows that aired in South Korea before landing on streaming. The same is not the case for Go Min-si, whose career includes some great K-dramas that are not available on Netflix. For example,Youth of May, which starsGo Min-si and Lee Do-hyun, is available on Kocowoa and Viki. Regardless, two of Netflix’s most successful original K-dramas feature both Song Kang and Go Min-si. It will now be interesting to see Go Min-si leading her own webseries.
Go Min-si’s Performance In Sweet Home 3 Makes The Frog Even More Exciting
Go Min-si’s Eun-yu Was A Highlight Of Sweet Home Season 3
HavingThe Frogrelease shortly afterSweet Homeseason 3 is a great idea considering how great Go Min-si was in the latter. Thankfully,Eun-yu was given a lot of screen time in seasons 2 and 3, even thoughSweet Homeintroduced a lot of new characters and sidelined some of the original protagonists. Eun-yu’s journey alongside Private Park in season 2 was fun, but seeing her reunite with her brother in season 3 was even better.Sweet Home3 delivered the long-awaited return ofLee Do-hyun’s Eun-hyeok, which was followed by a bittersweet reunion between siblings.
The Frogreleases on August 01, 2025, on Netflix.
Eun-yu’s interactions with Hyun-su were also great, particularly because the evil version of Song Kang’s character was the one behind the wheel for most of the season. It was fun to see how Hyun-su continued to care about Eun-yu even though his monster self was taking over, all but confirming that he had feelings for her. Eun-yu almost had a tragic ending considering she was infected, but fortunately,Sweet Homehad already proven that neohumans can learn how to have feelings again. After such a strong performance inSweet Home3, I’m excited to see Go Min-si in her nextK-drama.
