1. Stay with Me
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
Stay With Me not only offers a compelling story with excellent writing and cast of characters, but it also proceeds to tell a romance so profound and beautifully built. Not afraid to be slow but also using its time to properly build a captivating narrative about family and finding solace in each other. What sets this apart is how it manages to tell different stories around its romance in equally compelling ways.

2. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
The Eighth Sense feels so vastly more unique than any of its counter parts that released this year. Its dual directing team from both Korea and Germany truly brings such a different perspective able to capture the culture of Korea with Western influences in its plot and execution. Showing a nuanced view of mental health carried by its stunning acting performances. It's an offering I don't see ever happening again. A sensitive, beautifully shot masterpiece of craft, fully realized by the vision of its immensely talented directing team.
