I would add. Little Women, great female cast

Korean Money Heist( lighter but full of plot twists),

Flower of Evil. Through the Darkness, based on RL crime investigations

Winnie

I can suggest:

They are all riveting and compelling in their own way.

Designated Survivor: 60 Days - A Korean remade of American series which many thought was better than the original
Vagabond - A plane crash that turns out to be a conspiracy involving the Blue House; Hollywood stunts included
Under the Queen's Umbrella - The only recent 2022 Kdrama that can sustain my interest

Beyond Evil (until the last few eps)

Kairos

+1 Stranger

+1 Through the Darkness

(second half of) May It Please The Court, as the first half has a slow build.

Also, Lost (2021) - this one may not do so for everyone, but it was perfect for my mood at the time. Not a thriller or mystery like the others I've listed.
