My favorite action thrillers

Mystery, rom-com. Really long (47 episodes) but breaks down into several arcs. Loved the chemistry between William Chan and Ma Sichun.

Death game thriller. The games are more cerebral than the ones in "Squid Game."

Mystery, action, buddy comedy. Mismatched partners, Triads, romantic triangles, and a deadly addictive drug.

Terrorism thriller. Very much like "24" with annoying family members and moles.

Mystery, rom-com. High IQ/low EQ forensic psychologist hires college graduate as his assistant in helping solve fiendish murders, while sparks slowly develop.

Sci-fi, time travel. Compulsively watchable even though it ultimately doesn't make sense.

Death game. Does a better job making you care about characters than "Alice in Borderland," with the result that the deaths hit home harder.

Terrorism thriller. Some pretty strong action scenes. Fizzles at the end, unfortunately.

Sci-fi. A bit long at 30 episodes but solid adaptation of Cixin Liu's mind-blowing novel.

Mystery. Very similar to "Love Me If You Dare" but not quite as good.
