Quantcast

Can anyone recommend any drama where couple has separated / walk away without any reason / tragic past and reunited after ages?
They always look at each other with painful memories in the eyes but still missing each other and have love deep down in their heart. I don't mind any drama genre or any country.

Underrated drama with good plot/acting is also welcomed. No kissing at all is better than fake kiss lol. Also, no fluffy and cheesy romance please.

Thank you in advance. xoxo

List in my mind right now:


Korea
Come and hug me
Missing You
Cinderella Stepsister
Doctor
Shark
My Love Eun Dong
The Princess Man
Autumn in My Heart
Go Back Couple

Taiwan
Mars
Autumn Concerto


China
Love Never Forgetting
Here to Heart

Le Coup De Foudre! I love this drama ^^, it's chines btw

Autumn's Concerto (TW) has this separation thing and they meet again after maybe 6 years? I don't remember exactly how many years pass, but separation is there.

 In addition

  •  Angel eyes 
  • Will it snow for christmas
  • Winter sonata (amnesia) 
  • Wild chives and soy bean soup 12 year reunion
  • Discovery of Romance : - probably hot separated for 2-3 years onky
  • The moon that embraces the Sun (historical/amnesia) 
  • Someday or one day (fantasy, transmigration thingy) 
  • Pheonix
  • Uncontrollably fond (Suzy was so....) 
  • Sad Love story
  • Age of innocence
  • Stairway to heaven (amnesia) 
  • Tree of Heaven (pseudo incest like autumn in My Heart, and Park Shinhye acting was so bland) 
  • Nine Times Travel (with the amnesia connected with time travel) 
  • Reunited worlds (fantasy) 
  • Save the last dance for me (amnesia/probably less than 3 years separation?) 
  • Lavander
  • Silence
  • Green rose (probably less than 3 years separation?) 
  • Love story in harward (I think less than 5 years separation) 
  • I have a lover (amnesia/probably less than 3 years separation of the Divorced couple) 
  • Byakuyako
  • Wonderful Days
  • Count of monte cristo Haku (I love tragic ends and I loooove the original classic by Alexandre dumas. Butr this one was unsatisfying



Do they need to be lovers/in a romantic relationship? Cause some are about the leads being children where one has a one sided love that never was able to Confess...  So they have this thing that never really got going.. 

Also How about romcom? 

Cause here are some that are the plot you described but more romcom and also never really became a couple the first time around....

  • Hello again - one sided love of the guy
  • Reply 1997 - one sided love of guy and never got to confess
  • One More Happy Ending - one sided love of the guy
  • Sangdo Let's go to school - one sided love of the guy
  • Hua Jai Sila - childhood friends
  • Stained Glass - childhood friends
  • Bridal Mask - childhood friends
  • 100 days My prince (historical/amnesia) 
  • Only You (one night stand that produced a son) 
  • All In
  • My Secret Romance - It treads a fine line between pining and angsty melodrama on the one hand and cheesy rom comedy on the other hand, so it might be too cheesy / cliched for your taste. The separation occurs partly because of a misunderstanding. 
  • The Smile Has Left Your Eyes - They looked after each other under difficult circumstances when they were kids but they were way too young to be in love at that point. They are separated by tragic circumstances. When they reunite, they don't immediate fall for each other but they definitely have an intense connection right away, even though they don't remember their shared past at that point. Very angsty / tragic vibes and great chemistry + kisses.
  • Lost Love in Times - The ML is a prince and the FL is a powerful sorceress. The royal family and sorcerers are forbidden from having relationships. Despite the rules, the ML and FL fall in love, but tragedy follows. The FL uses her powers to enter a new timeline where she can make sure the tragedy does not occur, but she is the only person who remembers the original timeline (and her relationship with the ML) and she knows that she must not enter into a relationship with the ML again and risk bringing about another tragedy. She begins the new timeline hiding her one-sided feelings for the ML, but he quickly falls for her again. However, this time she has to be cold and must reject his advances. Tragic pining ensues.
  • Moon Embracing the Sun - I forget the exact details (it's been so long since I watched this one), but iirc the ML believes the FL was killed. When she returns years later, I'm pretty sure there were many looks full of painful memories and deep love.

BL drama? But I'm not really into historical drama. Thanks btw ^^

I can't quote a long post. Thanks @tnsaf and @Czakhareina for such a long list ;) Will check em later

There are many, but if I were to narrow them to my top three, they would be:

1. When my Love Blooms - Its an ongoing drama and only 6 episodes have aired so far. But, it has already become my favourite. It definitely ticks all the categories you have mentioned above.

2. My Sunshine - This one is an old Cdrama (2015) and is quite similar to WMLB (at least the past) but this too fits in the above categories. 

3. Autumn's concerto -  This one is a Taiwanese drama  and is definitely one of my favourites. The plot is a little different from the above two but very similar and very captivating.

Honorable Mentions -  Come and Hug Me (Has a unique story line) and Just Between Lovers (a little slow but definitely enjoyable)

Enjoy :D

 JiyaVanya:

There are many, but my top two favourites are:

1. When my Love Blooms - Its an ongoing drama with an amazing cast and also involves all the 'tags' you have mentioned. 

2. My Sunshine - This one is an old Cdrama (2015) but this too fits in the above categories. 

Enjoy :D

You're the 3rd person recommend My Sunshine in replies. It must be a really good drama i guess. Thank you ^^
