Once again i feel i have to defend another Drama.Yes i do this a lot!
Brain Works is a similar case to Café Minamdang.

Many people misunderstood and took this series as something different as it actually is.
I won't get tired saying"Always check the Genres and the Tags"

Why should i complain this is not a serious/heavy crime drama when it's tagged as Mystery & COMEDY?
Even by looking the poster and reading the synopsis you get the idea this is going to be a fun(and funny)watch.
"He was also once married to Kim Mo Ran. She has a particularly strong libido."I know..when i first read this i was like "Huh??wtf!"but actually i laughed and was curious to find out what this has to do with the story and why they had to mention it in the synopsis!Well now i know.It wasn't random or irrelevant!

-A short comment about the basic technicalities as this is always one of the factors for my final rate.
Here i overlooked the not so excellent Direction,the rough editing and the rather flat and dull Music which made no difference to me.My strict rate because of this would be 8 but my overall enjoyment was higher so it gets a final 9.-

I have read many found the main lead annoying and a bad person and hated this character.
Well to me he is one of the reasons i liked Brain Works .
I hate perfect and sterilized characters in Dramas.Noone has only good or bad traits.The complexity of each and every personality is what makes this boring world so interesting.
So yes,i loved our ML.He is cocky and arrogant,he is like a spoiled rich brat despite his age.Self-driven and occasionally selfish.
He is super smart and he knows it! And he brags a lot about it!Lol!
Cold hearted too,he lacks empathy.His IQ is super high but his EQ is super low.
Allow me to say that sometimes,charismatic,intelligent and sophisticated people do deserve to brag and show off their abilities.
So this is how the ML's role is written and i loved his cold attitude,instantly.

As for our 2nd ML,the Detective.Well he is indeed his polar opposite.Modest,kind,altruist.A male version of MotherTeresa!
And these two characters clicked so perfectly together and with their amazing chemistry made a heartwarming bromance.
Rest of the characters were interesting and funny too.I couldn't imagine this Drama without them.

Story & Plot:

A genius neuroscientist and a righteous detective,works together to solve criminal cases with the help of science.
More than half of the Drama is Comedy with Mystery sprinkles.
Very interesting cases.The viewer gets many information about neuroscience,how the brain works,how it affects everyone's personality.It does not dig deep into the science part-as is obviously not a Medical Drama-but is made an interesting but light watch too without been too confusing.
I also liked how they turned 2 of the characters into main cases to be solved.It was fun.

The sub plot,which is actually the main background plot,is super interesting and exciting,introducing the main Villain.
The last few episodes is a Mystery with Comedy sprinkles.More on the darker side and more gripping,as we get more of the psycho killer.
Somehow gave me "Prodigal Son" vibes and i loved it!

As the title says,this is so Scooby-Doo.You can't be confused about what are you going to watch when you choose Scooby-Doo.You know is Mystery & Comedy.So Brain Works is!

If i had to choose only one argument to persuade you to watch this,id say "The freezer/Hug & The Tango/fight scenes are to die for!You cannot miss them!"
I hope you will enjoy this as much as i did.
