Since, I've finished the story I get your point now but that doesn't take away my earlier criticism of the story. Nonetheless once I got through the first half I started to enjoy it (Mostly after her teacher's death) because that's what separated her a little bit from heavy plot armor and that was her first real setback. Story is flawed but tolerable.

Episode 9 : God this is infuriating 😮‍💨 Her aide is asking her to back of the case while crying just because she is arrested (Am I to feel emotional here?)
As per her aide she has the option to get away with murder and a high official's murder at that if she wants to? What law?, What justice?
( To be clear I'm not saying she is murderer but that without proven innocent can she get away with the murder?).
Maybe I'm thinking too much... Lets just watch for now.

I will keep watching and judge it myself how it gets better or improve. I will read your spoiler tagged replies once I finish the story.

I'm not reading as it seems to be holding spoilers but I'm questioning her character and morality and how she and princess both are excused. Morally she doesn't feel guilt because she felt what she did was right because Princess was her friend. After making such choices one has no right to do anything related to law anymore but she shamelessly want to be on the same field. Story is poorly written with a lot of plot armor and plot holes up until where I'm watching it.
Her teacher calling out and story still goes on to use plot holes to protect her despite her committing serious crimes is bad writing. Her character keeps probing that human life has no value unless she feels like a certain individuals life has some value. Are we supposed to accept that?

Episode 7 - Woman (FL) asks "What use ard laws and regulations?"
Yes, Exactly that's what I want you to ask yourself in episode 3. This is hypocrisy in purest form.
(I will watch how bad it gets and to what extent they go using plot armor, king and her status as princess).

Excuse me, I saw a person killing another person and FL defending that person because she is her bestfriend. Now, If other's does the same its wrong all of a sudden like one of the character who wanted to protect herself and her parents.
If she was torn between law and her empathy I would understand but it was bending the law as she pleased. She has held suspects without any real evidence even by simply using her authority as princess (The plot armor is so thick that it's laughable) - sorry but it's bad writing with high budget and good Actors.

I'm just on episode 3 and I want to know what the fuck is this hypocrisy?
A murderer is a murderer?
From this episode forward she has no right to question anyone for their crimes?
She is princess so she is forgiven for murdering a person and 3 more died because of her? That's just disgusting.

Initially I thought it's feminist agenda again but I will tolerate it to some extent but it's just bad writing. People has filling so killing someone is okay.

Edit: Question - Am I perceiving the story wrong? Isn't she supposed to investigate the case to uphold justice and not bend the law to personal benefits?

I am smh okay with that, Instead of instant death it's better (100x better even) and It's not about how long you live but how you live even if for a day. It's a happy ending in every way for me.

She is wrong for most of the story (up until the point I watched) - I said drama tries to make her look a smart kind of character when if written and directed by good director she would be a side character loved by none (High budget drama with poorly written story accompanied by not so good acting).
Sorry but some things aren't "Eye of the beholder" but plain bad.

Watching "The first Frost" I feel like Yifan is a poetry, a story written and only meant to read by Sang Yan.

Lol, Exactly. I couldn't watch it past episode 17-18 (Until there even I was forcing myself).

That's funny because drama made the FL to be a perfect being who's always correct and things should happen how she wants kind of character. Everything that's doesn't align with her well has to go away kind of plot.
The only thing flawed here is actress's acting 😂 what you on about?

Right, like every second moment is "She is FL so it's okay" like full plot armor and bending everything because she is "FEMALE LEAD".

Let's be clear here, This story is nowhere near historically accurate and if anything it's just cheap mocking of historical dramas. Good for fluffy romance but that's all there is to it.

First : Actress's acting is so not refined? Like it's funny watching her not able to portray emotions convincingly.
Anyhow, FL's arrogance is beyond my comprehension - She wants better of everything. Like in episode 10 where her friend should be detained for attempting murder of her father, she says "I believe she is innocent" (Since of when the law is above her?)
According to her - Her dignity should be protected but when ML is simply doing his job she mocks "He only care about his job and doesn't care about family's emotions." How's that going to help solve a murder case?
Even in earlier episodes when he saved her life , She responded with arrogance.
The writing is so flawed that it's laughable.

I believe they will cure him eventually smh, 10 years is a long time. (Remind of Demon slayer though - MC can't live beyond age of 25)

- What a satisfying ending, I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would.

Is he smart or stupid I can't tell, I'm on episode 12 and he got fooled by literally everyone until now (lol, first thing happened to him on entering the city is someone framing him and almost killing him 😮‍💨) and dude figured his identity out within few minutes.
His whole strategy is luck based planning and he has zero control over his emotions (Dude fumbled so hard on getting caught that he himself gave away his identity instead of retaliate and make up some excuse).

Someone has to be super dumb to pay such people.

I believe fans are smart and won't hate the actor/actress because of nonsensical haters.
