The Fridge (2025)

Some things just can't be fixed

When the preview dropped for this, I was already invested. Now that I've seen it, it was worth it in every way. It was intriguing and captivating. I was mostly awed by the quality of acting. Expected from the main but the support really stepped up and delivered.

Ken and Bright wowed. Ken in the role of Pleo with a limited education, marginalized and constantly ridiculed never gave up til the end. His determination to find the truth created an emotional and electrifying performance.

Bright as Korn, broken and cowered by previous events, found the strength to fight for what was right, no matter the cost. One thing he was sure of, Pleo was the best thing that happened to him and he wasn't going to fail him. Bright embodied the timid Korn.

Linn, as Best, did a wonderful job. There was no love in her heart and it showed. She was the 'best' manipulator and pulled all the tricks out to get whatsoever she wanted. Collateral damage meant nothing to her. While I enjoyed her acting, I welcomed karma. She was very polarizing.

Typhoon, Poom and Noom stand a cut above the rest of the supporting cast with their believable portrayals. Ter, his father and the gambling druggie Man, brought the corruption, violence and proof that the present cannot be changed. It may be different but not changed.

Enjoyable as it was, there are still some things that could have been done differently. The script felt a little dumb with the repetitive lines. It was a bit frustrating with the constant time jumps. Too many actors daring the other to shoot them with the barrel against their forehead. Korn's 2024 deductive skills were a little slow. Why did Pleo choose to live 17 yrs in hiding? I believe this was to keep the timeline correct for the future. But, here I will ask, if Ter was erased in 2024 following the timeline, why couldn't Pleo knowing the date, do differently to stop Korn? Had he tried to come back to the future, he also would have been erased as he was already dead. Those events may not still be possible to exist as it doesn't show Best and Man in the future after his last return. Then, why did the accident still occur as it did? All of that should have been erased as Korn's coworker had an appendectomy and not beaten by Man. Probably, this is just me fishing for a different ending or the script didn't quite capture the events to fix the ending.

Lastly, interjecting the last shoulders touching, Pleo holding Korn's hand with Korn saying that Pleo is the best thing that happened to him, didn’t sit too well with me. Was that done to entice / appease bl fans? They could have used different words to convey brotherhood without alluding otherwise. I'm a bl fan but the script didn’t need it.

I would definitely recommend this series. Action filled, entertaining and acceptable outcome. I really liked it.
