Interesting Brain Cases
Brain Works (2023)
Likes
1. Comedy + crime solving is always up my alley. The cases were related to the brain so very interesting esp when Shin Haru describes how the brain normally works and there are little characters showing to demonstrate his explanation.
2. I thought CTH again as a detective? But he was slightly different here than Police U. Here he is still upstanding but more softhearted. His nice guy was a big contrast to YH's serious Haru. I wished th elast epsiode showed Haru to smile more and join the team dinner and be more friendly, but it would break his character's psychopathic personality. But at least he was able to make a friend despite his condition.
3. I also like Captain Seul, esp when she became the wild girl vs her usual timid self. I wish she stayed like that but she went back to her normal self when she recovered. Im not used to CTH having a romantic story but he and Captain was so cute together. Esp when he tried to say her name instead of Captain Seul.
4. Shin Haru's main storyline was predictable (of course we know who the bad guy is!) but it was still well written. Even the ending was neatly wrapped now. But that zombie hunting case would have been fun even for 1 extra episode!!
Dislikes
1. I think the ex wife's story was necessary. I didnt get why she had to be there other than to serve as a plot point against the love story between Detective Geum and Captain Seul.
2. The main villain at first i thought was going to be creepy but i was alittle underwhelmed by how sinister he was. I just saw him in the last episode an dhe just looked like a pathetic old man. Haru shouldnt have wasted his time on him. Although his games were interesting enough.
