For my money, one of the best things on Netflix -- no matter how you slice it, whether American or global, movies or TV shows -- is the Korean language series Crash Landing on You. It debuted on the streamer at the end of 2019, and I discovered it during the pandemic, which probably explains part of the affection for it. If you haven't seen it, this one-season show is about a South Korean heiress who goes hang gliding and gets blown across the border to North Korea during a nasty storm.
She ends up in a tangled mess in a tree. A handsome, elite North Korean soldier discovers her, and it's at that moment she falls (with a literal crash-landing) into his arms. This was actually the first K-drama I'd ever watched all the way through. The production value here is insane, with each roughly 70- to 80-minute episode feeling like it's basically a movie. Supposedly, the creative team used input from actual North Korean defectors to imbue the show with a degree of realism. Which was a good decision, since the series is split about half-and-half between starting out briefly in South Korea, then following Se-ri's adventures in the North, before the show then moves back to South Korea.
