got me crying like a little baby
Dramas that I've cried and ached over. Just a note-to-others: I'm not into sad stories usually, so normally my tears aren't because the ending's bad or unhappy... it's just because the drama has big emotions and dives right into them (or it drove me to tears from utter frustration lol). I'm sure there are more dramas on my Completed list that I could add here, but my brain tends to block out my moment of tears. I don't cry often, but these guys absolutely got me good.

1. Wish You: Your Melody From My Heart (Movie)
Korean Movie - 2021
I'm a blubbery mess from beginning to end. I have no idea why. But it gets me every time.

2. Your Name Engraved Herein
Taiwanese Movie - 2020
Oh ma. This one is straight water works. I can't even think about it without tearing up. But I think many watchers can relate to that. Such a heart wrenching movie, I am *sobbing*.

3. Drowning Love
Japanese Movie - 2016
After reading the manga it was inspired by, I cannot even breathe properly when I watch this mess. This story is just the most heart breaking, heart wrenching, heart throbbing story ever. It hurts in the best way imo.

4. Portrait of a Beauty
Korean Movie - 2008
This one is just intense.

5. Kuzu no Honkai
Japanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
It reminds me a little of drowning love (it also is inspired by a manga). It's messy and dark and hurts my heart.

6. Uncontrollably Fond
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
*cries as soon as I see the title* SO. FREAKING. HEARTBREAKING. AND FRUSTRATING. Oh my god. It's practically masochistic to watch this. I couldn't feel anything for days after finishing this mess.

7. The Bride of Habaek
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This one is still a fresh wound and my heart is just aching. I saw 'The Scene' coming, but it still destroyed me. Seriously my heart is in pain.
-
8. Sell Your Haunted House
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
The emotions portrayed (especially by FL--what an actress) were so freaking raw. It was agonizing to watch, but so beautiful; I felt like I was right there going through it with them all. Bravo. Beautifully heart-wrenching stories filled with so much hope. Fills your heart.

9. Angel's Last Mission: Love
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
Goody gosh I was crying over every little thing in this drama. And for so many reasons, too: out of pity and sympathy, frustration and anger, heartbreak and sadness, feel-good moments and heart-warming scenes, and just that good old 'where is the freaking justice or mercy'. Seriously, ML's backstory still got me bawling my eyes out over here.
