Better seats, better enertainment system, better food and better cabin crew.
The Asiana biz product is fantastic, CX is just ok on Asian flights.
So while being very good on intercontinental flights (although I wouldn't say top 3, maybe top 5) their short and medium haul product is very ordinary.
Well I like OZ very much too. Had some flights between FRA-ICN and ICN-NRT and they have very high standards. Would agree about food, service and seats. Not sure about entertainment though. Prefer them over CX and any other * airline except NZ - but I know even if NZ is generally considered good or very good (new C) it is more a personal preference I have for them because of some wonderful experiences with crew and the design of their cabins, lounges and seats...

So for me in C its 1.NZ, 2.OZ, 3.CX, 4.SQ, 5.LX - but I dont have experiences with most Middle East carriers so not really a significant list
