Need recommendations on thrillers

It doesn't matter which language just need them to be good. I don't like the ones where the hero solves everything with his supernatural ability and the readers are left mouth open and confused.  I like the ones where we can also guess things, expect things even if they turned out to be wrong. I am not too much fan of comedy-thriller either, except when they are exceptionally good. 

I will just mention the ones I have seen so that you can suggest something other.

AHhaha I just love the genre a lot. ANd because of that, I am suffering. I haven't seen Kill it because the reviews were not that great. WIll give it a try. Thanks for replying.

You might like these dramas:
Criminal Minds
Cruel City- Do not read MDL's synopsis. It will ruin the drama for you. Read Wikipedia's instead. You'll thank me later.
Black
W
When a Snail Falls in Love- Same writer as Love Me if You Dare

Mrs Cop 2 (Korean)
Memory Lost (Chinese)
Misty (Korean)

So many of my favorites on your list! I think we like the same thing!

As others have mentioned:

  • Cruel City (don't read spoilers! a classic)
  • Black
  • W (I got SO much wrong with my predictions on this one lol)
  • When a Snail Falls
  • Memory Lost 

If you want to stretch your parameters a bit, I also suggest:

  • Chicago Typewriter (the first two episodes are weak but it's one of my all time favs  - I found the revolutionaries' story more compelling than the present day)

when a snail falls in love is a good one. I also enjoyed Rugal.

I just finished watching Strangers from Hell today. I recommend it.

I recommend Memorist , it's somewhere on the line with Watcher, Tell me what you saw and Stranger: corruption  in the system, chasing a serial killer and special abilities

Edit: I think you might also like The lies within. It's a thirller that is underrated in my opinion. It has some stuff that keeps you on the edge

Memorist, I tried a bit because of the reviews. But it felt like it was a comedic thriller. I am not too fan of mixing those genres especially when I am craving for a thriller lol.

Ah, Strangers From Hell, I tried first half of the ep and it felt too scary lol. I am keeping it aside but because of Im shi-wan I want to watch it. Actually, I don't mind horror but this stuff is creepy. XD

When a Snail Falls and Memory Lost. I read Ding Mo's novel, didn't finish though. SO for some reason, I couldn't complete the series. Maybe I will pick up again. 

Do you watch any other non-Korean/Non-Chinese shows? I suggest you Dogs of Berlin and also the Scandinavian show  Broen/Bridge,

Vagabond

Is Vagabond really good? I heard it was bad despite the rave about it. Like it was saved by the OTP.
