When an enigmatic councillor teams up with a bubbly assistant; they work together to face the challenges that come up. Story: Despite the summary; there's only a small amount of romance that can be detected as the main genre of this drama is mystery. Starting off, Dr. Frost had potential as it was interesting- the female lead had the ability to defend herself and kick butt without needing the help of other people. Not only that; this drama touches and talks about the psychological aspect of the human nature which was awesome and compelling as I learned quite a lot. The first few episodes were promising, as the mysteries that come up were also quite interesting. However, unfortunately it had seemed that the pacing became a bit draggy towards the middle, as i found myself skipping some parts as it was boring to me, but fortunately it became interesting once again near the ending. Despite the dragginess imo, i thought that this drama was quite compelling and interesting, plus as it was only 10 episodes; I didn't feel as if i wasted my time at all. Acting: The main leads (Song Chang Eui and Jung Eun Chae) were great! They were convincing characters, especially the female as she had the strong, independent feel, unfortunately it seemed that she became more like a damsel in distress later on. Song Chang Eui was great as well as i thought his acting was fabulous; being able to portray the enigmatic aloof genius. Everyone (including the supporting characters) were great as well! The only cons i think of is the way the director had made Jung Eun Chae's character albeit annoying and useless at times. Music The music was awesome, the soundtracks were quite similar to the BBC Sherlock series (which I am an absolute fan of) so I had no problem with their selection. Rewatch Although I may not rewatch the entire series (even though it's 10 episodes only), i would probably watch the first few episodes and the final episode only as i found that the middle were a bit too draggy to me. Overall? This drama is worth a shot! As it is quite a short drama, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, especially if you like mysteries and psychological genres!
