K-actress Go Min Si Garners Rave Reviews for Her Performance in Netflix Drama The Frog Adding on Earlier Release of Sweet Home 3

It’s been a stellar summer for the actress as she has been in back-to-back Netflix K-drama hits, with Sweet Home 3 in July and now thriller The Frog in August. She was always great in SH but that’s an ensemble drama more in the horror and action front but it’s in The Frog where she’s getting the best reviews of her career as well as a breakthrough performance.
