My personal "10/10 is not enough"
Dramas that have positively surprised me, that I consider tiny or great masterpieces even despite some flaws. Dramas that I have loved for some reason. All of them are on par for me.

3. Stranger
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I approached this drama three times before I managed to finish the first episode. It was boring and a tad discouraging. However, by the time I got to the end of the first episode, I was fully invested in the story and the fate of the characters. It's intriguing, suspenseful, thought-provoking and keeps you engaged.

I love the originality of this drama. I love the Oscar and the Golden Iron Triangle. I love the intelligent and funny dialogues. The plot has some shortcomings, but the overall atmosphere of this drama is pleasantly warm and I spent a lot of enjoyable hours with it. A few scenes are really priceless.

7. Noite Eterna
Chinese Drama - 2018, 60 episodes
Excellent humor and a wonderful gallery of interesting characters. Although when it comes to production this drama has some shortcomings, great dialogues and ML make up for all the shortcomings. I love the songs from OP and ED. Overall, Ning Que is my favorite character from all the c-dramas.

8. Através da Escuridão
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
"If you look into the abyss too long, the abyss will look at you." A person who encounters unimaginable evil on a daily basis, especially an empathetic person, is exposed to a special kind of danger. I appreciate that the filmmakers did not make this drama another sensational story about chasing serial killers, but focused on the psychological aspect of the work of the people who catch them.

Korean Drama - 2016, 18 episodes
Bravura acting. Excellent plot and great dialogues. Additionally, an emotional story with a criminal plot and a positive message. What more could you want?

10. De Sobrevivente a Curandeiro
Chinese Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
It is not a perfectly shot drama, and yet I value it highly as a remarkable example of a really well done psychological drama, where intellectual perception is combined with emotional perception perfectly. Some episodes have left a permanent mark on my consciousness and I appreciate it very much.

11. Sparrow
Chinese Drama - 2016, 61 episodes
It's amazing how much this drama kept me in suspense. I seemingly knew ML wasn't going to die, at least not until the end of the drama, and yet the situations he found himself in were highly disturbing. A rare flower to make me so uncertain about a character's fate.

12. Vocês Estão Cercados
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
This is my first k-drama and I guess that's why I like it so much. Full of action, humor, interesting characters and interesting scenes. I have a great fondness for it.
