15. Call It Love
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
the last clip you see after 16ep of slow burn stoic acting, is the smiles of the Mleads and then the FL running playfully towards the ML. great cap off
-
16. Romance on the Farm
Chinese Drama - 2023, 26 episodes
where it works as a sad end is when all characters are shown as NPCs so everything was in a game, and to me that is meta like how we become fond of characters in games we play. the short special that trys to break that sort of sad end by making the ML a real person begone I don't believe you to be canon
-
17. The Spy Gone North
Korean Movie - 2018
ending with the bromance handshake scene of the 2 leads was both cathartic and a chefs kiss.
-
18. An Ancient Love Song
Chinese Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
great sad ending especially if stopped at ep13 perfect, yet ep14 adds context and clears up some of the left threads considering its 30min run time its shorter than many climaxes of shows so good ending to great sad drama.
