    1. 1% de Alguma Coisa

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    9.0

    This is still worth watching even with a break up. The ending is wonderful.

  • A Beleza Interior

    2. A Beleza Interior

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    I liked this drama a lot, and the break up was brief.

  • A Caminho do Aeroporto

    3. A Caminho do Aeroporto

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

  • A Esposa do Meu Marido

    5. A Esposa do Meu Marido

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    It still has one of the best endings out there and still worth watching.

  • A Journey to Love

    6. A Journey to Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    Tragic and sad ending , but someone recommended it.  This drama still has a good story and some people still found it worth watching.

  • A Lenda de Shen Li

    7. A Lenda de Shen Li

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 39 episodes

    • I started watching and got hooked  into it already. FL is awesome and powerful. ML is powerful, too. She’s from the Demon realm and he’s from the Immortal realm.
    • I’m in episode 13. I can see the beginnings of possessiveness in the ML, and there’s already chemistry when both FL and ML were sparring in the FL’s military camp.
    •  I’ve finished episode 21 already and never got bored so far. I love that the FL is strong, powerful, and cannot be bullied easily by anybody. The ML is more powerful but has a calmer demeanor because he is an ancient god.
    •  it is getting exciting in episodes 23 and 24. I don’t want to spoil it too much so I can only say that wow, once the usually cold, calm, serene ML lost all control and reason, he could defy and disregard anything and everything for his love.
    • I know there will be sad, difficult scenes but this is still a show worth watching in my opinion. There is also a SML but I kind of feel sorry for him. 
    • They’re finally together in episode 31 but now I’m wondering what’s going to happen next since it’s forbidden for them to be together.
    • Episode 32 is where FL tries to leave, then ML turned Yandere and imprisoned her in his palace. 
    • Finally, the sad scene we’re expecting after all hell broke loose was in episode 38. But thankfully, it turned happy again in the same episode, so it’s all good. There was never any boring part, I like that this two main leads are such a power couple literally and figuratively.
    • I finally finished the drama and it is definitely stellar. It’s not perfect but it’s still quite good. I hope those who watch this show will enjoy it as much as I did!

    Sure, there were temporary separations when FL “died”, and again when ML “died”, but this drama is still binge-worthy and the main couple had a very happy ending.

  • Chang Feng Du

    44. Chang Feng Du

  • Conta Comigo

    50. Conta Comigo

    Open ending, FL did not end up with anyone. It’s centered on her life journey so it’s not romance-centered.

    Sad ending…

  • Criando o Destino

    53. Criando o Destino

    Korean Drama - 2009, 31 episodes

    This is a drama with bickering main leads, their betrothal arranged by their families. In episode 11 the ML starts becoming more interested in the FL, becoming more possessive and jealous. There are misunderstandings, persistent love rivals and a love triangle when the ML’s former love returned. In episode 23, the main couple finally started resolving their conflicts after the FL lead ran away to Australia and the ML followed her all the way there to get her back. That’s when they became a real couple. More conflicts arose when the parents and grandparents got embroiled in disputes and suddenly wanted to end the couple’s engagement. But the main couple held on and never broke up since episode 23, and everything got resolved eventually and the happy couple was  finally able to get married and eventually the FL became pregnant with their first child. Happy ending.

    Chinese Drama - 2015, 40 episodes

    7.5
  • Crush

    55. Crush

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

    Even though they broke up, I still liked this drama. When they got back together, you can see their married life together for several more episodes, until their child was born. This is one of the good dramas even with the break up moment. I even rewatched this one.

    56. Destinado a Te Amar

    Taiwanese Drama - 2008, 24 episodes

    8.5

    Long separation after divorce, but happy ending.

  • Doces Jogos

    57. Doces Jogos

    Open ending…not really a happy ending 

  • História do Palácio Yanxi

    62. História do Palácio Yanxi

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes

    9.5

    Cunning FL, no wonder despite the harem power struggles and on/off relationship with the emperor (ML), she ended up being his favored and beloved concubine.  It’s sad that the other ML died trying to look for a cure to save her life. No one can doubt his love for her but his noble idiocy cost him to lose her in this lifetime. So I think this is a drama with 2 MLs. 

  • Horas de Princesa

    63. Horas de Princesa

    Korean Drama - 2006, 24 episodes

    Few months of separation 

  • Imitação

    64. Imitação

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

  • Indulgence

    65. Indulgence

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 27 episodes

    It’s still a nice drama because of the main lead’s chemistry. 

  • Investindo em Você

    66. Investindo em Você

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    The ML have always liked the FL since their school days but he had to study overseas in Germany for  number of years. When he came back and saw her, he still liked her but she already had a boyfriend. The BF broke up with the FL, so the ML’s hopes went up again, even asking his assistant how long does it take for someone to recover from a break up. In episode 22, they went from 0 to 100. FL lost a bet and ML did not even have to say what he wanted, the smoldering, intense look he gave her spelled it out more clearly than words. They slept together that night. They became an official couple in episode 24. Break up happened around episode 32 due to ML hiding the fact that he has a large stake in the FL’s competitor company which left her feeling betrayed, causing her to leave him, but they got back together officially in episode 36 after a time skip. This drama is still worth watching despite the break up. The main couple and side couples all have happy endings.

    74. Marido Vilão

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 22 episodes

    They separated in the last episode, then met again in the modern times but it didn’t feel real, and the ending is weird. FL woke up while she was in a movie set and she was identified as a kiss instructor there. It felt like she just dreamed the whole drama…

  • Massaya

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    This drama had a good premise and started out promising but the ending was totally ruined. You might want to check out the reviews out there before watching this one.

  • Nevertheless,

    84. Nevertheless,

    Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    Someone mentioned the second lead syndrome here can be felt.

  • New Tales of Gisaeng

    85. New Tales of Gisaeng

    Korean Drama - 2011, 52 episodes

    This is still one of my favorite rewatched dramas. ML’s character development was great to see. He was an asshat at first, dumping the FL because he thought his chaebol family will not accept the FL because of her background  (there was a great reveal on her true parentage later on), But he was driven mad to the point of desperation at the thought of losing the FL to another man that he threw all caution to the winds, storming into the bridal chamber after the FL’s wedding ceremony with another man.  He caused a scandal and a huge scene by forcefully pushing his way in,  knocking out the groom in front of shocked guests hovering on the doorway, and  he literally groveled on his knees, crying his eyes out, without any regard for his pride,  clinging to the FL‘s legs and begging her to go back to him (she became a gisaeng, and although it was not the conventional kind of marriage, it was still binding,  complete with legal contracts, bestowing of a large amount of financial assets and holding a well-attended, lavish formal ceremony, which is why only rich and powerful men can afford to exclusively keep a gisaeng).  It resulted in the main couple getting married after breaking the contract with the other man and marrying despite the ML’s father’s objections. That scene was one of the most unforgettable parts of this show, and the ending is wonderful, simply one of the really good dramas worth watching.

  • O Abismo Mágico

    86. O Abismo Mágico

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    ML disappeared for 3 years in the last episode, although not on purpose, he just literally disappeared into thin air and because it’s a fantasy, there is only some vague explanation on why he was able to return again to the FL’s side.
