7. Memorist
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This series caught me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it. I was sad to see it end. I'd love another season. The characters are compelling, I cared very much about the supporting cast, I was interested in the budding romance, and the supernatural element was very carefully done so that I didn't have to suspend my disbelief to enjoy it.

8. Itaewon Class
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
I legit think about Park Saeroyi from time to time, still. What a wonderful show.

9. Goblin
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
I legitimately didn't know what to do with myself after I finished this series. Watching the initial episodes and how beautifully executed the backstory was along with the OST put me in a near-trance. I was hyper-fixated on all of the details, the whimsical storytelling, the melancholic coloring - it was all so mesmerizing and beautiful. The storyline isn't perfect, but I ultimately loved it so much and didn't want to leave the characters behind.

10. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
I became so attached to the ensemble cast here. It really felt like I was losing family when I moved on from this show.

11. Utsukushii Kare
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
One of the most poetically written BLs I've ever watched. I have a spoiler-laden review on its MDL page. Otherwise, I suggest just giving it a go.
*Note: if you see a directors cut movie version of this (versus watching them episodically), I highly recommend it over this format. The theme song is particularly jarring and disjointedly cheerful compared to the show's tone, and that was my only real critique because it's offputting.
