Dramas With Break Up/ Misunderstanding/Long Separation

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

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

They were both married to other people and needed time to sort out their situation before they can meet again…

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

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

• 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.

Main couple broke up in episode 19 and they got back together in episode 22 after 3 years of being apart.

It’s still one of the good dramas out there with a very happy ending even with the angsty parts.

ML is an emperor and though they loved each other, the ML cannot keep the free-spirited FL in the palace because he knows she’s happier and will have more freedom outside the palace in the long run, and he cannot abandon his duties and responsibilities immediately. They separated and met again after several years, when the ML can finally abdicate his throne to his son and went in search of the FL.

Main couple got together in episode 25, ML asked for divorce ep 36 (Noble Idiocy Trope). He groveled to get her back in the last episode (40). Happy Ending.

FL died…

ML died…

FL killed herself…

They keep separating because of the different timelines, but it’s still a happy ending after everything that happened.

Sad ending…

6 years of separation…..

Angsty but has a happy ending…

Long separation…

FL in human form “died” and went back to her goddess state, their separation was long and the misunderstanding deep. ML “died” and resurrected after 3 years. But despite the angst, this is still one of my top 10 favorite shows of all time. Happy ending…

Awesome chemistry but meh ending…

l don’t think their separation lasted too long. Happy ending.

This still has a great happy ending even with the break up.

Angsty drama…

Not a happy ending..

SPOILER ALERT!

They could have made a better ending instead of the ML accompanying the FL as she grew as old as a granny then died in his company while he continued to remain young and immortal.☹️

ML died…

The main couple had a long separation (3 years), but it was not because they fought or broke up mutually. The ML thought the FL died. But their reunion was lovely afterwards. Happy ending.

FL left, it’s a sort of open ending…

So many misunderstandings and long break up as well as separation…

Main couple’s chemistry was great, too bad the ending is not good.

They divorced and parted ways but reunited again after a few years. The ML was unaware he had a child with the FL.

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

Sad, tragic ending…

Sad ending…

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.

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.

Long separation after divorce, but happy ending.

I don’t think the break up was really that long but it still took a few episodes before you can see them back together again.

Sad and open ending where the leads are not together.

Open ending…not really a happy ending 

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. 

Few months of separation 

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

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.

Too many obstacles and too much push and pull in the main couple’s relationship plus the amnesia trope… but it still had a happy ending for the main couple.

They divorced, then got back together again later on.

FL died

Main leads  broke up and separated for a few years…

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…

They almost divorced….

ML pulled a noble idiot act and broke off with the FL….it still had a happy ending though.

There is a break up, with amnesia trope thrown in for good measure.  But it still has a happy ending.

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.

Someone mentioned the second lead syndrome here can be felt.

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.

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.

Main couple got together in episode 20, broke up in episode 26 and got back together in episode 29.

This is still a good drama even with the break up.  It has a happy ending.

FL died…

They had a break up and misunderstanding but when they got back together, they were very solid as a couple and closer than ever. This is another good show and on my rewatch list.

Main couple died…

ML died….

Main leads broke up, FL was pregnant and miscarried. But they eventually got back together, got engaged, then got married. ML who was a South Korean king went to North Korea where the FL lived to get her back. Couple had a happy ending after overcoming challenges including the FL being kidnapped by the villains.

Too much angst plus there is break up

ML died, FL killed herself… they reincarnated in another drama “Forever and Ever”
