Pretend one's not interested in baffling drama? (4,4,2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

play hard to get

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pretend one's not interested' is the first definition.
(to play hard to get is to feign a lack of interest)

'baffling drama?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for play hard to get that I've seen before include "Gain by appearing unwilling to co-operate" , "Feign unwillingness as negotiating ploy" , "Make a show of unwillingness" , "abstruse bit of theatre?" , "Pretend unwillingness to gain advantage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
