Dr. Shin Ha-ru is fired after illegally acquiring a criminal’s brain. He volunteers to help Detective Geum Myeong-se's bureau — and to make him pay.
Ha-ru and Myeong-se's first case involves a famous guitarist and his wife, who turned herself in for his murder. But Ha-ru turns the case on its head.
A Vietnamese woman is found dead with her face and hands burnt. Her husband suffers prosopagnosia; her best friend has disappeared. Both are suspects.
New evidence and test results drastically change the face of the case. A killer approaches Ha-ru, saying he wants to donate his brain to neuroscience.
A 6-year-old with aphasia gets turned in by her mother. She believes a demon has possessed her daughter to kill — and her husband has paid the price.
Ha-ru exposes the truth before the child’s exorcism can take place. And a tablet reveals some dirt on the detective, much to the doctor's delight.
Ha-ru’s attempt to sully Myeong-se embarrassingly backfires. A man reports his wife missing to the police, claiming a "virtual human" attacked her.
After a husband's confession, his wife shows symptoms of conversion disorder. Who killed who? Ha-ru gives up his revenge and leaves the department.
A suspect whose memory resets every 30 minutes claims he has killed his mother. Ha-ru returns, intrigued by a patient with anterograde amnesia.
The stepbrother becomes a prime suspect as the siblings’ harrowing tale comes to light. On his date with So-jeong, Myeong-se gets a call about a body.
The perpetrator who left a mysterious note at the murder scene demands a reduced sentence. Unaware of Dong-u’s plan, Ha-ru appears as a witness.
Ha-ru's statement in court stirs up the media. When he unravels the cause of Kim Mo-ran’s hypersexuality, Myeong-se and So-jeong get tangled up in it.
A bleeding boy is found unconscious in I-na's bedroom. All of her friends claim she's the one responsible, and unfortunately, the evidence agrees.
Ha-ru helps prove I-na's innocence. As he and Myeong-se's family bond, Ha-ru finally discovers Myeong-se’s flaw, leading to his untimely resignation.
Ha-ru learns that his parents weren't killed in a car accident but murdered. To find their killer, Ha-ru must accept a psychopath's dangerous offer.
Myeong-se and Ha-ru must play the sympathy game, or else. The hostages will be released if their brain waves sync. Can two heads work better than one?

This drama was a constant coin toss for me, swinging between great and bad throughout, this included the story, characters, jokes, and, in particular, cases. Every case related to one or multiple subjects around neuroscience for the doctor to talk about, however, some subjects were poorly executed and questionable. These ones were totally forced and stretched thin just for the sake of including them. Other cases were actually interesting. The humor as well was a big hit or miss, especially with the male leads. The drama placed too much focus on the male leads while neglecting the remainder of the cast dynamic. On the other hand, the detective wife didn't fit quite well and it took until the last few episodes for her character to finally blend. The drama had its good moments with its witty humor but it lacked in many areas to be a solid drama.
