Synopsis

The consultation room of Yonggang University's psychology department is run by the genius Dr. Frost. Skilled at reading people, he is an easily recognizable figure with his shocking white hair and stoic face. But Dr. Frost has one fatal flaw—he lacks certain emotions, like love and empathy. Despite this, he solves every case that comes his way using his expansive textbook knowledge and sharp perception.

Aiding him in his work is his assistant Yoon Seong-Ah, a young psychology student at the university. As the two work together to uncover the emotions and motivations of others, Dr. Frost begins to discover a part of himself which he lost long ago.

Dr. Frost isn't like most psychological manga nowadays. It has nothing to do with using psychological manipulation to win some sort of game or competition. Instead, it revolves around investigating, explaining, and curing psychological problems like obsessive compulsive disorder and multiple personality disorder. Reading this manga makes you feel as if you’re in a psychology class. All the information is well-detailed and feels like it came straight out of an actual textbook or lecture; from, how they know that the person has a certain disorder to how it affects their lives to how they developed it to how to deal with it. Not a single read more

Dr. Frost is a realistic psychological manhwa about people, and what it means to be human. Dr. Frost is a psychologist, who deals with people's mental “problems.” The story is somewhat episodic, as the story is into multiple small arcs, following each of the various clients’ cases. It has a story structure similar to that of Samurai Champloo, as they are all episodic, while slowly revealing to the reader and characters about Frost’s backstory and who he is. The story flows well, as each case spends a good amount of time for you to understand and sympathize with the characters, while not dragging out the cases. A bit of a problem with the pacing though, is that sometimes when they talk about Frost’s backstory it feels a bit out of place, since they're in somewhat of side episodes rather than being tied into the main story. This may have you feeling like you have an "outsiders perspective" and not have you engaged enough in the story.

The cases in Dr. Frost are realistic, as the author has a degree in psychology, and they consult other psychologists for details about their cases with clients. It also uses real psychology tests for the correct mental problem. Both the clients and the psychologists feel real and like actual people. You understand the perspectives of both the client and the psychologist, while still feeling like a reader. It also makes you feel like you’re learning something when reading it.

There is a small number of important characters in Dr. Frost, which all of them are psychologists. There is the main protagonist, Dr. Frost, who is the counsellor for most of the cases in this manhwa. He believes that sympathy isn’t needed for cases, and he has a mysterious backstory that is slowly revealed to us.

There’s Frost’s assistant Seong-Ah Yoon, who is someone who is studying psychology. She helps him in the cases and is often used as someone who learns Dr. Frost’s backstory alongside us, so it isn’t pointless exposition.

There is also Sang-Won Cheon. He is the principal of the academy and acts as a sort of a “father figure” for Frost. He is often the person revealing Frost’s backstory to Seong-Ah.

The main antagonist (his name is not mentioned for spoiler reasons) is a direct reflection of Frost. I cannot further talk about this character though, as it will enter spoiler territory.

The art style of Dr. Frost is good. It feels a little more like a soft sketch, rather than “fully drawn art.” Some of the characters' faces do look the same, but the author has recognized this as his inability to draw.

Overall, Dr. Frost is a well-written story about what it means to be human with a realistic cast of both clients and psychologists, but somewhat suffers from a disconnect between the characters and the story.

Since this doesn't have any review yet, i decided to give one. This isn't your typical manga like love comedy style or action fantasy but if you are more into realismc, or have enjoy psychology class or quite curious (like me) to know more about psychology like meaning of gestures, hypnosis, personality disorder etc., then give this manga a shot you can really enjoy reading this while learning so much from it.

I just want to give some emphasize on the genre, the proper genre for this is psychological, comedy, drama, seinen and slice of life. A psychology based manwha, so from there you can expect read more

The overall asset of this web cartoon makes it completely different of others on it's style.

I first saw the dorama based on these series, and I was astounished with the writer's ability ro make the story fluid, without being too obvious about the crime scenario. Then I went to read the comic version, and it was pretty much the same.

The characters, the plot and the environment of the whole story makes this a unique piece, that makes you eager for more from the first chapter to it's last one, and wonder if there is more besides the obvious in each chapter.
