KBS

One of the common endings seen in K-Drama is a happy ending. The lead couple falls in love and fight their way through the obstacles. By the end of the drama, everything settles down for good and the couple stays together. Happily ever after.

But some lead couples in K-Dramas don't get their happy endings together. Netizens gushed over these couples and were thrilled by their journey. They even shed tears at their ending, but unfortunately could not see a happy ending for them. Here are top 3 K-Drama couples for whom the fans still mourn over.

This article contains spoilers for the dramas mentioned below.

1. Im SuHo And Eun YoungRo From "Snowdrop"

"Snowdrop" introduced us to Im SuHo (Jung HaeIn) and YoungRo (BLACKPINK's JiSoo). The two met each other on a group date where the girls had to choose a token made by the men. This decided who they will go on a date with.

The two later met again after the date when YoungRo entered the booth to listen to a song and ended up, unconsciously, singing out loud. After realizing, she felt embarrassed and wanted to leave. When she was about to purchase the tape, she also realized that her wallet was empty. SuHo bought the tape for her and left. Feeling in debt, she ran after him. As the two converse, SuHo saw a car that was watching them and tried to escape. YoungRo helped him by pretending to be a couple and the two embrace each other.

Before saying goodbye, YoungRo asks him to have coffee sometimes but he never shows up.

Six months later, the two met again. But things are different. YoungRo finds SuHo shot and again hides him from the ANSP agents

Things went downhill for them when SuHo and his team hold the girls of the dorm hostage. The couple find their feelings and their positions clashing with each other, especially after what happened to YoungRo's brother. But, in the end, they surrender before love. YoungRo continues to protect SuHo, even standing up against her father. Unfortunately, the couple did not get to be together outside the hostage. SuHo was shot dead

By the end of the drama, we see YoungRo imagining SuHo singing and playing the guitar for her. JiSoo perfectly displayed YoungRo's sorrow and we cried for her.

2. Kim WooJin And Yun SimDeok From "Hymn Of Death"

The six-episode short series, "Hymn Of Death" is based on the 1991 film "Death Song". The drama tells the sorrowful love story of Korea's first notable soprano, Yum SimDeok (Shin HaeSun).

Yum SimDeok met Kim WooJin (Lee JongSuk), a playwright who was a fan of English literature and in pursuit of freedom. The two came together for a play directed and written by Kim WooJin. As the two get to know each other, they soon began to fall in love. But love was something they could not afford. SimDeok was bound to raise and educate her siblings whilst WooJin was bound in a marriage without love.

By the end of the drama, the two dance together. SimDeok ducked her head to hide her tears but WooJin lifted her chin and embraces her with a kiss. The two then walk to the ship's railing, where they take their lives.

3. HeeTae And MyungHee From "Youth Of May"

"Youth of May" tells the story of a nurse, MyungHee (Go MinSi), and a medical student, HeeTae (Lee DoHyun), who fall in love during the most critical time in history.

Their story starts as a cheerful romance of youth. They set off in a more comical manner as MyungHee was not particularly interested in dating him, but HeeTae fell for her instantly. He was persuasive and finally succeeded in making her fall for him. HeeTae sets really high standards for all the fans. On their first date, MyungHee tried all the tactics to annoy him, but he was okay with everything. She claimed to have all the facts that would irk most men, but HeeTae was truly an exception.

The two overcame hurdles together and their love was what kept them strong. Unfortunately, they could not be by each others side for long. Death became their biggest foe and took MyungHee under its shadow. Leaving poor HeeTae to mourn and the fans too.

Fans still hope for an alternative universe where these couples would have a happy ending. The journey of their love story has made the viewers cry and laugh along with them but unfortunately, viewers could not see their story end with each other.
