November 29th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
Well, the first episode was very interesting. Didn’t know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised.
December 7th, 2014 at 11:31 pm
It’s like detective story, i like it. >.<
December 8th, 2014 at 9:02 am
Don’t know why it is getting such low ratings? But I am enjoying this drama.
December 10th, 2014 at 11:26 pm
daebak.. I love this drama.. it’s really awesome watching dr. frost solve those cases.. he’s jenius ^_^…
December 15th, 2014 at 9:02 am
Love this drama… it’s different with others ^^ fighting dr. frost!
December 16th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
there’s always someone who “doesn’t understand why this gets low ratings” on a CABLE SHOW: cable shows have low ratings, 1 is normal, 2+ is if you have super popular actors
that being said, i have a hard time watching this drama because of the guy’s haircut, i can’t take him seriously
December 16th, 2014 at 6:41 pm
@Laur
U forget to mention anything above 5% is blockbuster. LOL

I just started watching this drama. I hope that its better as it goes along, because after the first few minutes of episode 1 when the actress ran away from the filming crew (her safety zone) into the woods, alone…AT NIGHT…running away to an isolated area?! Okay, writer-nim…humor me.
December 19th, 2014 at 6:42 am
Hmmm. It’s getting better as I go along. Wow! Now, I’ve seen #1 fan’s aka stalkers in dramas and movies, but the one in ep. 1 takes it to a whole other interior design level…and a panty bandit to boot. I wonder where he got those custom made curtains from…nice!
I hope the psych’ student/assistant’s car has plenty of leg room because from what I see, if Dr. Frost lies down on the ground beside the car, he’s longer than it.
Looks like the actress has identical double-trouble.

I’ve begun to notice something about this drama. Two times, references has been made to well known crimes that happened here in the U.S. It makes me wonder, why here of all places. Its as if the psychology of America’s criminal behavior is so unique and the cases are much more interesting to study. It also makes me wonder, doesn’t S.K. have their own archives full of unusual criminal behavior? Though it appears that I’m posing a question to get a response, I’m really not. Also, I don’t have a problem with the writer doing this…just saying…so don’t shoot me down or launch an attack. I’m an observant human being who has always asked questions and sought out answers in order to bring some logic to the forefront as far back as I can remember. My mother would attest to that.
Anyway, I’m enjoying this drama.

This drama is very good!
December 28th, 2014 at 12:15 am

December 30th, 2014 at 2:09 am
I love it. Now ep 5 and I want more ep. Waiting for one ep per week is soooooo long. T_T dr.frost and assistant yoon jjang!
January 2nd, 2015 at 1:54 am
Still waiting for episode 5 to get subbed. Thank you subbers for all your help.
January 5th, 2015 at 1:43 pm
@usa-mary: maybe because american crimes are more unique or, there are no similar crimes in s.k., or, s.k. writers are not allowed to write crimes from their archives. am not sure now, but i remember reading that there was a drama series called ‘city conquest’ which did not push through because it was prohibited to be shown. i saw the first episode at you tube. your comments make me decide to watch this series.
January 6th, 2015 at 5:11 am
@tigerb-23: I don’t believe that crimes in America are that unique compared to other countries. Most likely more than anything else, it has to do with said country’s censorship laws as you mentioned.
Its apparent that Dr. Frost’s field of psychology causes him to unearth, analyze, and dissect the dark recesses of the human mind and its nature from whatever case is closely related to the present occurrence. Maybe that’s why he’s a bartender the rest of the time…yet, he still analyzes the behavior of his patrons as if for amusement. IMHO

Episode 5 was really good; while episode 6 was a little slow, yet overall kind of interesting. Dramas surrounding psychological plots in and of itself have a tendency to be somewhat boring. Which is why I believe that the addition of human tragedy cases and trying to solve them creates a correlated form of entertainment worth watching. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
January 10th, 2015 at 2:57 am
sooooo……..would you guys recommend this drama?
January 10th, 2015 at 4:55 am
@micaela-26: I highly recommend this drama.
January 12th, 2015 at 10:50 pm
Yes, micaela, I will recomended it is like CSI….
January 28th, 2015 at 6:54 am
I love this drama sad it did not get a lot of ratings it reminds me of the American show “Lie to me”
January 28th, 2015 at 9:02 am
why only 10 episodes!!! this drama is really good, I love it!! I want more episodesssssssssssssssss….
January 30th, 2015 at 2:39 am
Please more episodes. Love it.
January 31st, 2015 at 10:28 am
Oh it is Ms. Jung Eun Chae from Nara’s Rain and Chang Ui is looking quite spiffy!
This drama is procedural like most US and British TV dramas and is as compendious as the main character Dr. Frost is dispassionate. For those who have not had enough Jerry Bruckheimer, CSI and Bones over the years. This one’s for you.
February 4th, 2015 at 5:16 am
Seems like this drama continues. Looks like the villan
Spoiler below **********
Moon got the guard to open the door so he walks free to do more dastardly deeds. That’s pretty creepy. I guess Dr. .Frost has the capability to tap into his emotions.
February 9th, 2015 at 6:56 am
This drama worked for me since I don’t watch nor ever have watched Bones, CSI or the like.
February 16th, 2015 at 7:19 am
Is there any romance in there drama?
February 22nd, 2015 at 4:05 pm
I love this drama, very…very recomended
March 7th, 2015 at 2:11 am
Highly recommended drama – full of suspense, twist and story line – a great drama!
March 7th, 2015 at 12:32 pm
This drama was amazing omg
March 8th, 2015 at 8:36 am

March 15th, 2015 at 4:45 pm
What a good drama. Love it!❤️
April 7th, 2015 at 12:30 pm
Song chang ui, love him. Always enjoy watching him. As to American versus SK crime, I think we here in the states love to broadcast everything and anything to the whole world. Sadly, we are an open book.
May 11th, 2015 at 2:47 am
This was an average drama. I love the male lead in past dramas, but, not in this. His character appears too passive. I would have watched the entire series to kill time if not for the irritating teaching assistant character. The writer could have done a lot better with this.
September 1st, 2015 at 5:24 pm
Wow, love the chemistry between Dr. Frost and Song Sun. They’re somewhat cool but behind they deeply care about each other. Too bad the crew didn’t develop their relationship more in the end
