While Korea is renowned for producing top-notch romantic and comedic series, it also excels at creating the most gripping dramas and thrillers. The perfect blend of these genres has just arrived on Netflix with “The Frog”.
Within hours of its release, the show soared to become one of the most-watched worldwide! We don’t want to give too much away, but if you enjoy productions with dual timelines that intertwine and collide, this title is the perfect option!
Another hallmark of titles from this region is their stunning landscapes, and “The Frog” is no exception. The action unfolds in a holiday rental situated in a secluded forest, which, while appearing cozy, harbors many secrets. But where is it located in real life?
Locating the mysterious Lake View Motel
The remote town where “The Frog” was filmed has become a hot topic of discussion, admired both for its natural beauty and its eerie atmosphere. Viewers have been particularly curious about the Lake View Motel, which is central to the plot.
Unfortunately, for those hoping to visit filming locations, the motel was constructed solely for the series and does not exist in real life. If you were to search for it, you’d likely find it either gone or, if still standing, abandoned.
However, the exact place where the production was shot has been disclosed. According to Film Loc, “The Frog” was created in Nonsan, a city renowned for its picturesque landscapes, including lakes, mountains, and greenery.
The key house in the title was specifically built in the Onbit Natural Recreation Forest, a popular tourist spot. Yet, when silence falls and night descends, this forest can transform into one of the eeriest places imaginable.
