Stranger
A prosecutor without emotional affect and the detective who trusts him anyway. Known at home as 비밀의 숲, Secret Forest.
Stranger rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1–2, running between 30 and 54 seconds.
It arrived on tvN in 2017, when Goblin and Prison Playbook were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Stranger did so once.

True Detective
Double-exposure portraits where the landscape is projected onto the people. Every season is reshot from scratch, so the titles change as completely as the cast does.
