Sad Love Story Korean Serial
I do love drama. been saying that repeatedly in lots of my other post. in case you still don’t know. And I had to admit that kdrama had a big part of why I love drama. They are really good to turned my emotion up and down, just like experiencing rollercoaster. Sometimes, it made me tired, emotionally. Especially when it comes to tragis or sad drama.
DEE DECARLO Sep 29 2018 2:03 pm I have enjoyed all of Kwon Sang Woo's work but in particular the Queen of Mystery series. I am hoping like, I'm sure, most of his fans world wide that he will be doing a Queen of Mystery 3. I'm an American who prefers Korean productions to those of my country. Shib Nyun Ee Ji Na Do (Even If Ten Years Pass) - Instrumental Link to see Sad Love Story / Sad Love Song / Sad Sonata drama is from manga The Sad Love Story.
Which they are expert on that. after i watched so many drama from other country, I guess Korean people still the best in portraying sad or tragic scene. The tragic here means, one of the lead end up dead, both lead were dead, or second lead which I hardly ship more than the lead is dead. forgive me for adding this term of tragic on my own since sometimes I cheer for the second lead more. Sometimes, I said:p. In the end, It was NOT a happy ending nor the one that keep us wondering whether it was a happy or sad ending.
So, here are 25 kdrama that made me cry a river. suddenly, Justin Timberlake song was playing in my mind. Get yourself prepared with whole bunch of tissue when you decided to watched them.


Sad Love Story Korean Drama Episode 1
But, let me remind you, Spoiler Alert for those who dislike spoilers. I’m Sorry, I love you (2004) So Ji Sub as Cha Moo Hyuk Im Soo Jung as Song Eun Chae Jung Kyung Ho as Choi Yune Seo Ji Young as Kang Min Joo For heaven’s sake, hands down for this drama with 16 episodes. THIS is the one and only, the most SAD and TRAGIC drama I’ve ever watched. Not only in the whole kdramaland, but in the whole dramaland. It was sad, emotionally tiring, depressing, that it made my heart and head hurts so much. lebaaay. I cry a river through all episodes.
Adding more, is the original soundtrack, very touching and sad too. It’s about a man who thrown away from his family to another country, separated with his twin, being left out by his love life, took bullet for the woman he love, had the bullet stuck in his head, hate by his real mother. because his mother didn’t know he is her son. spent his life for revenge, envy with his so called brother, and feeling guilty for the new love he found that he decided to leave her because he didn’t want her to be sad. In the end, he died alone in Australia and donate his heart for his so called brother. huaaaa TT.
What is even more sad is, the woman he love, followed him. She suicide in his grave. She wrote some letter before she suicide, “Even when I was living, he was lonely. So, I couldn’t leave him alone like that.
Just this once in my life, I’m thinking of myself and living for myself. I’ll accept any punishment that comes. Song Eun Chae.”. where is the tissue, please. after I watched this drama, life is never be the same. lebaaay. Pertama kali nonton drama ini, bener2 nyesek di hati.
Sampe sekarang belom ada yang bisa gantiin drama ini sebagai drama ter sedih dan tertragis sepanjang masa at least for me 4 thumbs up for both of the lead. Stairway to heaven (2004) Kwon Sang Woo as Cha Song-ju Choi Ji Woo as Han Jung-suh Kim Tae Hee as Han Yu-ri Shin Hyun Joon as Han Tae-hwa Baek Sung Hyun as young Cha Song-ju Park Shin Hye as young Han Jung-suh/Kim Ji-su Lee Wan as young Han Tae-hwa/Han Chul-su Park Ji Mi as young Han Yuri A 20 episode drama full of sadness. Since childhood until they grown ups. The female lead is very suffered. I fell in love with Park Shin Hye in this drama eventhough she is only appeared as a child female lead. since then, I am officially following all of her drama. If you looking for a drama with cinderella them. with step mother and evil sister.
unforgotten first love, accident, amnesia, and involved a cancer inside. This is definitely the perfect one. Just when all the storms finally wash out and we think they finally get together happily ever after then here comes cancer that wake us all from the happy ending dream. She died and he is living his lonely life. What a cruel life indeed. Endless Love or An Autumn Tale (2000) Song Seung Hun as Yun Joon Suh Song Hye Kyo as Yun/Choi Eun Suh Won Bin as Han Tae Suh Han Na Na as Shin Yu Mi Han Chae Young as Choi/Yun Shin Ae Choi Woo Hyuk as young Joon Suh Moon Geun Young as young Eun Suh In Indonesia, I guess only a few people who love kdrama who still don’t know this one. It was one of the first drama invaded our country back then.
Booming if I must say. This is the starter or what we called Korean fever in Indonesia.
Even I was collected any kind of merchandise about Won Bin. back then long time ago. The story is kind of cliche typical korean drama. 4 lead whose life tangled together. Unforgotten first love. Unrequited love for the second lead. A suffering life of the female lead.
Last but not least, a fatal disease of the female lead, which is in this case is Leukemia. like her life is not miserable enough. Cry bucket of tears back then. because it was my first time watched kdrama and I haven’t met MISA (I’m Sorry I love you). How can it not be sad or tragic if I may say. Eun Suh died because of her sickness. Then in the end, Joon Suh was hit by a truck. Only God know if they reunited in heaven or not.
In this drama also, first time I ship the second lead more than the first lead. I just love Won Bin here:p 4.
Bad Love (2008) Kwon Sang Woo as Kang Yong Ki Lee Yo Won as Na In Jung Kim Sung Soo as Lee Soo Hwan Kim Ga Yun as Kang Joo Ran A 20 episode of tears for Yong Ki portrayed by Sang Woo. Damo (2003) Ha Ji Won as Chae-Ok Kim Min Joon as Jang Sung-Baek Lee Seo Jin as Commander Hwangbo A 14 episodes of amazing skills of Ha Ji Won as a damo. At first, I felt sad because I thought Chae Ok will have a tragic love with Sung-baek. I thought they love each other. Well, they indeed love each other until they discover that they are long lost siblings. While they status is opposite to each other. Damo tried to rescue his brother.

he is a rebel while damo is a detective. but it was just too late. Hwang Jin Yi (2006) Ha Ji Won as Hwang Jin Yi/ Myung Wol Shim Eun Kyung as young Hwang Jin Yi Kim Jae Won as Kim Jung Han Wang Bit Na as Bu Yong Ryu Tae Joon as Baek Kye Soo Jang Geun Suk as Kim Eun Ho A 24 episodes of beautiful clothes, dance, and music and of course sadness. I cried for Jin Yi everytime. Poor her, for not being able live happily with the one she loves. Eun Ho, her first love is dead just before they ran away together. Then she fell in love again with Jung Han, but then lost her baby due a complicated situation between them.
And there in the end, she let him go and live alone as a Gisaeng. Huhuhuhu. Jin Yi, why can’t you be happier. The Story of the First King’s Four Gods / Legend (2007) Bae Yong Jun as Damdeok / Hwanwoong Yoo Seung Ho as young Damdeok Lee Ji Ah as Sujini / Seoh Shim Eun Kyung as young Sujini Moon So Ri as Seo Ki Ha / Kajin Park Eun Bin as teen Ki Ha Park Sung Woong as Jumuchi Lee Philip as Cheoro Lee Hyun Woo as young Cheoro I always love Bae Yong Jun as an actor since Winter Sonata. So, 24 episodes of this drama definitely catch my attention. Actually it is not ‘that’ tragic. It just, so sad to see the leads love life.
In first few episode, we will see how sad it is when he had to killed his own wife. His crying make my heart ache.
Later, his love life with Sujini, make my heart cry out loud. In the end, the not end up together. I’m not sure what happened to damdeok.
8. Empress Ki (2013) Ha Ji Won as Ki Seung Nyang / Empress Ki Hyun Seung Min as Seung Nyang (young) Joo Jin Mo as Wang Yoo / King Choong Hye Ahn Do Gyu as Wang Yoo (young) Ji Chang Wook as Ta Hwan / Emperor Huizong of Yuan A 51 episodes worth watching and heart wrenching.
Here, the second lead finally got the heart of the first female lead. yeaayyy. Eventhough it end up tragically.
Here, I feel you, Ta Hwan. How you really want Seung Nyang to love you back, even until the end of your life. Which she did love him back, but it was just too late. Fashion King (2012) Yoo Ah In as Kang Young Gul Seo Young Joo as Young Gul (Young) Shin Se Kyung as Lee Ga Young Kim Sae Ron as Ga Young (young) Lee Je Hoon as Jung Jae Hyuk Kwon Yu Ri as Choi Anna A 20 episodes of not so tragic or sad drama actually.
But it end up with Young Gul death anyway, so I consider it as tragic. Not to mention, his death is hmm I can’t find a word to describe it. It just that, it really is a bad way to end this drama. He was happily enjoying himself in the pool.
or spa. then “bang” someone killed him, shot him to death. Sad Love Song (2005) Kwon Sang Woo as Suh Joon Young / Choi Joon Kyu Yoo Seung Ho as young Suh Joon Young and then as his son Kim Hee Sun as Park Hae In Kim So Eun as young Hae In Yun Jung Hoon as Lee Gun Woo Kim Yeon Joo as Cha Hwa Jung Go Ah Sung as young Cha Hwa Jung Even the title already give a vibe of sad or tragic if I may say. Then there were 20 episodes to convey the title. This time, Sang Woo will be the one who die. remember stairway to heaven?. his love story with Kim Hee Sun is so complicated that it make our heart drown in pain. lebay. 11.
Ja Myung Go (2009) Jung Ryu Won as Princess Ja Myung Lee Young Yoo as Lee Young Yoo as Ja Myung Park Min Young as Princess Ra Hee Jin Ji Hee as Ra Hee (child) Jung Kyung Ho as Prince Hodong Kang Soo Han as Hodong (child) Yeo Jin Goo as Hodong (adolescent) A 39 episode of intrigue in politics and love. Ja Myung, who is branded the princess of destruction, escapes death with the help of her mother and grows up among the common folk. She and Prince Hodong who is the rival of her nation fall in love but fate has it that they cannot be together. they are rival for God sake. Ja Myung, who fight to save her nation and had misunderstanding about his feeling toward her, finally pierces her sword towards Hodong. I cry a river in the end seing both of them died together. Kangchi, The Beginning (2013) Lee Seung Ki as Choi Kang Chi Jung Joon Won as Kang Chi (child) Bae Suzy as Dam Yeo Wool Jo Min Ah as Yeo Wool (child) Choi Jin Hyuk as Gu Wol Ryung (Kang Chi’s father) Yoon Se Ah as Ja Hong Myung / middle age Yoon Seo Hwa (Kang Chi’s mother) Lee Yeon Hee as Yoon Seo Hwa Another 24 episodes not so called tragic.
But I do enjoyed watched every scene of Kang Chi’s parents. hoping that this drama is about them, but it is just a hope.
Not happen in real though. Wol Ryung and Seo Hwa love story is tragic. They meant for each other but they came from a different world and that what make them separated. I cry hard for Wol Ryung, when he learned that the woman he love betrayed him. I cry for Seo Hwa when I finally realized that she did love him deep down inside her heart. When she died, I felt like aaahh noo don’t leave Wol Ryung Both of you deserve live happily ever after.
Jang Ok Jung (2013) Kim Tae Hee as Jang Ok Jung / Lady Jang Hee Bin Kang Min Ah as Jang Ok Jung (young) Yoo Ah In as Lee Soon / King Suk Jong Chae Sang Woo as Lee Soon (young) Hong Soo Hyun as Queen In Hyun Jae Hee as Hyun Chi Soo Baek Seung Hwan as Hyun Chi Soo (young) A 24 episodes. will update soon:p. 14. The Devil (2007) Joo Ji Hoon as Oh Seung Ha Uhm Tae Woong as Kang Oh Soo Shin Min Ah as Seo Hae In I enjoyed watching 20 episodes full of shin Min Ah and all the mystical things involved. Touched by her love story with Seung Ha. Heartbroken by his death. What happened in Bali (2004) Ha Ji Won as Lee Soo-jung Jo In Sung as Jung Jae-min So Ji Sub as Kang In-wook Park Ye Jin as Choi Young-joo It is 20 episodes of drama.
Very very tragic. And it was happened here, in Indonesia, in Bali to be precise. For your info, Indonesia is not Bali but bali is part of Indonesia. Why I so called very very tragic. Because the 3 leads are end up dead. Jae Min had a misunderstanding with Soo Jung, jealousy and hatred filled him that trigger him to killed Soo jung and In Wook together. When he heard Soo Jung last word, that she love him.
I think he regret for what he did, so he decided to killed himself in the beach. So, this is the second time I watched So Ji Sub, end up dead. 49 days (2011) Lee Yo Won as Song Yi Kyung Jo Min Ah as Yi Kyung (young) Nam Gyu Ri as Shin Ji Hyun Kim Yoo Bin as Ji Hyun (young) Jo Hyun Jae as Han Kang Bae Soo Bin as Kang Min Ho Jung Il Woo as scheduler / Song Yi Soo Seo Ji Hye as Shin In Jung A 20 episodes of mixed feeling. There were funny, romantic, sad, happy, anger inside this drama. It was so sad to see Ji Hyun and scheduler leave out this world and people they love. It was so sad to see Yi kyung and Han Kang, stand up in front of their grave by the end of the drama.
It will be a really nice ending if in later years, they’ll end up together. Glass Shoes or Glass Slippers (2002) Kim Hyun Joo as Kim Yun Hee / Lee Sun Woo Kim Ji Ho as Kim Tae Hee So Ji Sub as Park Chul Woong Han Jae Suk as Jang Jae Hyuk Kim Min Sun as Woo Seung Hee A 40 episodes of sad scene. So Ji Sub is really the master of sad story. Here, he end up dead again just before his wedding, just before he finally have his happiness. After 40 episode of his longing for the woman he love, he end up dead. Can you at least be happy ending for once.
Well he did, in his other dramas. I just being overreacted. 18. Tree of Heaven (2006) Lee Wan as Yoon-suh Park Shin Hye as Hana Asami Reina as Maya Uchida Asahi as Fujiwara Ryu This is a collaboration drama between Korea and Japan. A 10 episodes of tear jerkers if I may say. As I told you, I started following Park shin Hye since Stairway to heaven.
Here, I think she is at her best of crying scene. Hana had fall in love with her step-brother (Yoon Suh). They fall for each other, but as a tragic drama not allowed to have happy ending, so did their fate. Yoon Suh dead in the end, but his death brings life to Hana. A love to Kill (2005) Bi as Kang Bok Gu Shin Min Ah as Cha Eun Seok Kim Sa Rang as Han Da Jung Lee Ki Woo as Kim Joon Sung A 16 episodes of love started with revenge and hatred. Bi as Eun Seok Bodyguard plan to take a revenge for his brother by making Eun Seok life miserable. But as drama do, they fall in love to each other despite any obstacles lies down in front of them.
In the end, Bok Gu is dead. A Thousand days promises (2011) Kim Rae Won as Park Ji Hyung Soo Ae as Lee Seo Yeon Lee Sang Woo as Jang Jae Min Jung Yoo Mi as Noh Hyang Ki How can I not feel sad with this 20 episodes of drama.
When the story itself revolved around losing memory. How sad it will be, when we losing memory of someone we love. How pained it is for the one that being forgotten. And Kim Rae Won, he just very good portraying Ji Hyung who will always love her unconditionally and willingly despite her memory loss. Sang Doo, let’s Go to School (2003) Bi as Cha Sang-doo Gong Hyo Jin as Chae Eun-hwan Lee Dong Gun as Kang Min-suk Hong Soo Hyun as Han Se-ra A 16 episodes will update soon:p 22.
The Snow Queen (2007) Hyun Bin as Han Tae Woong / Han Deuk Gu Sung Yu Ri as Kim Bo Ra Im Ju Hwan as Suh Gun Woo Yoo In Young as Lee Seung Ri Kim Tae Hyun as Choi Choong Shik A 16 episodes. will update soon:p. but the end is, she died. Money’s Warfare (2007) Park Shin Yang as Geum Na Ra Park Jin Hee as Seo Joo Kyung Shin Dong Wook as Ha Woo Sung Kim Jung Hwa as Lee Cha Yeon A 16 episode Geum Na Ra hard life. He is living his life in a hard way by being a privat money lender. Which off course, will have so many enemies right in front of his nose.
So when he finally settle down and wants to get marry. Someone killed him, stabbed him right before his wedding. I cry out for the bride who standing and waiting for him. East of Eden (2009) Song Seung Hun as Lee Dong Chul Yun Jung Hoon as Lee Dong Wook Park Hae Jin as Shin Myung Hun Lee Da Hae as Min Hye Rin Lee Yeon Hee as Gook Young Ran / Grace Han Ji Hye as Kim Ji Hyun Dennis Oh as Mike A 56 episode. will update soon:p.
25. Bad Guy (2010) Kim Nam Gil as Shim Gun Wook Kang Soo Han as Gun Wook (child) Han Ga In as Moon Jae In Kim Jae Wook as Hong Tae Sung Park Joon Mok as Tae Sung (child) Oh Yun Soo as Hong Tae Ra Moon Ga Young as Tae Ra (teen) A 17 episodes plot revenge. I got the feeling that it will became tragic when I read the synopsis. Because, revenge most likely always end up with someone death. And here we are, watch Gun Wook plan his revenge, fall in love, then really end up dead.
Hye-In was blind when she was born, Jun-Young's mother work in night clubs and make Jun-Young being laughed by friends. Once Jun-Young and Hye-In walked together, Hye-In gave Jun-Young a sliver card badge with her name 'Hye-In'. Hye-In's aunt, Audrey, took Jun-Young's mother(all cash) and bring Hye-In and left Jun-Young. Jun-Young (Sang-Woo Kwone) grew up, with mother died, father re-married. The remarried mother took all Jun-Young's money away, and Jun-Young has to work in construction sites to earn money for his college studies. He met Lee Gun-Woo (Yeon Jeong-Hoon, originally Song Seung-Heun) and Gun-Woo also met Hye-In in the street in USA, just outside Harvord University. Gun-Woo buy Hye-In new dress, and gave Hye-In money so Hye-In could see again.
Hye-In open her eyes, saw Gun-Woo, she didn't know that Jun-Young is still alive, and began to love Gun-Woo. Gun-Woo told Jun-Young to meet his new girl. Jun-Young saw Hye-In, lost control. Hwa-Jung, the cheerleader of Jun-Young's. This was a GREAT drama.
It's a sad Korean melodrama and by far, one of the most saddest Korean dramas I've ever seen. It starts out with Suh Joon-young and Park Hae-in who grow up as childhood friends. Hae-in is blind and Joon-young becomes her protector. As they grow up, their love from childhood grows far beyond into a committed love that will last the rest of their lives.
The story revolves around Joon-young, Hae-in, and another character, Lee Gun-woo. Kwon Sang Woo is one of my favorite Korean actors and I heard about the story from another friend and decided to watch it. Little did I know, I would be bawling from start to finish. It has a typical storyline, like many of the other dramas, but the characters were played really well by Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Hee Sun. I loved every single episode; they were all worth watching. This is by far, my FAVORITE K-drama and one of the saddest ones out there.
Overall, it's a great drama and worth watching.
