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.
