If you want to cry
dramas that made me or are making me cry (i'm a very emotional person)
-

I cried 7 times.... That is enough for you to run. (Also, I watched this after watching Monster, so i was already very emotional.)
-
2. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
Very cute, super sad it ended.

3. Alice in Borderland

Beautiful, amazing 10/10 would recommend watching it (also, please stop comparing Squid Game and Alice in Borderland; it's dumb)
-
4. Alice in Borderland Season 2

Blood, sweat, and tears went into this season. The number of times I was crying, crashing out, and closing my computer was insane.
-

I HATE HOW PARK JIHOON ACTS HBBOSPDB. HE MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL WAS CRYING 24/7
-
6. Blue Birthday
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
WALKED SO LOVELY RUNNER COULD RUN (PROVE ME WRONG) 10/10 THEY'RE SO FREAKING ADORABLE, AND IT'S A MURDER MYSTERY/A WHODUNIT. FINISHED IT IN ONE SITTING BECAUSE I WAS SO IMMERSED
-
7. Daily Dose of Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Daily Dose of Sunshine? MORE LIKE DAILY DOSE OF DEPRESSION, LIKE I CAN'T EVEN, LIKE. DO NOT WATCH THIS DRAMA! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO SOMEONE I LIKE, AND IF I COULD WATCH THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WOULDN'T. Overall an amazing 10/10 drama
-
8. Death's Game
Korean Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
THIS DRAMA IS SO UNDERRATED. THIS DRAMA HAD ME CRYING FOR BASICALLY EVERYONE. I ACTUALLY CAN'T HONESTLY
-
9. Death's Game Part 2
Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes
ALL THE LIVES HE WENT THROUGH, IF THEY WERE THEIR OWN SEPARATE DRAMA, I WOULD WATCH THEM. THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS DRAMA WAS.
-
10. Ditto
Korean Movie - 2022
I usually hate time travel dramas that only involve them communicating with an object, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and ALMOST shed a tear at the end.
-
11. Happy of the End
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Their story genuinely killed me. I hunched over and covered my ears like a child whose parents are arguing in the next room so many times while watching this drama. They lack in the communication department, but they always manage to work it out.
-
12. Hear Me: Our Summer
Korean Movie - 2024
HOLD ME BACK. THIS MOVIE IS SO FREAKY, AMAZING, AND CUTSY, LIKE UGHGGVJK
-
13. I Cannot Reach You
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
I rewatch this once every few months. Beautiful, amazing—I might crash.
-
14. Juvenile Justice
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I cried out of anger on the FIRST episode (i only watched to sode 4, I think, be because i could not.)
-
15. Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Deadass hate this drama, with my every fibre being like, Urgrlgrbealfuir. I CRIED ON THE 3RD EPISODE. 3RD???!!! (But they're so cute, so i'll let it slide.)
-
16. Life on Mars
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH. I LOVED THE MURDER MYSTERY, AND THE MC WAS SO MUCH HAPPIER IN THE 80S THAN IN THE PRESENT. ONE OF MY FAVORITE KDRAMAS.
-
17. Love for Love's Sake
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
(I NEED THIS DRAMA ENGRAVED INTO MY SOUL.) Everything about this was PERFECT. This was such a beautiful and loving experience; if I could watch this for the first time again, I would. I love everything about it, from the characters to the plot, and I cried a lot after watching this, so be wary.
-
18. Marry My Dead Body
Taiwanese Movie - 2022
My friend forced me to watch this after she watched it and cried to it, and then we both ended up crying together, so yeah! Great movie
-
19. Monster
Japanese Movie - 2023
WHAT POSSESSED ME TO WATCH THIS MOVIE?!?! I KNEW I WOULD CRY, WHICH IS WHY I CONTINUOUSLY FACETIMED MY FRIEND, BUT THIS MOVIE LEFT A BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH FOR A MONTH, WHICH I WASN'T EXPECTING, AND I CRIED 3 TIMES
-
20. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
DEVASTATING LIKE WHAT THE FLIP. IT SET MY BAR SO HIGH FOR OTHER TIME-TRAVELING DRAMAS THAT I CAN'T EVEN WATCH MANY OTHERS. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT. I'M GOING TO CRASH.
-
21. Move to Heaven
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
beautiful, amazing, cried... multiple times, 10/10
-
22. My Beautiful Man
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I held off on watching this series because I kept seeing angst edits of them, and I was sitting here like, "Why would I actively watch a drama that I know is going to make me cry?" but then i saw a cute edit of them and decided to suck it up and watch it, and I still cried but i enjoyed it
-
23. My Beautiful Man Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
It's an adorable series, and I was tearing up for, like, 2 episodes straight.
-
24. My Beautiful Man: Eternal
Japanese Movie - 2023
This movie was so beautiful, just like the series, but I have to say this movie was low-key freaky, and Hira is a FREAK! But overall, this movie was amazing.
-
25. Nobody Knows
Japanese Movie - 2004
The second the movie started, I knew it was going to be a masterpiece and leave me with depression. I just knew I was going to cry. After the halfway mark, I don't think I said a word; my heart just felt so heavy.
-
26. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
Had me crying at 2am. I was crying basically every episode because of how cute they are and how they both wanted each other's cookies so BAD. They remind me of the song Stupid Boyfriend by Brandi Ediss. SOOO MUCH, idk, maybe it's just me
-
27. Our Dining Table
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Super cute, loved it. Loved the found family trope they had, as well as the characters.
-
28. Our Youth
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
10/10 amazing, beautiful I would die for them; I cried for them. Honestly, their story was so beautiful, like I'm going to crash.
-
29. Shining for One Thing
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
watched in 2 days. I loved the entire thing. I did hate the open ending, though.
-
30. Silenced
Korean Movie - 2011
I took at least 5 breaks and did 3 laps around my room in anger.
-
31. Smells Like Green Spirit
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
It's on hold for ONE specific reason, like the drama is cute and they're adorable, BUT that teacher... he's freaking me out; he keeps staring a little too long, and I'm not liking it. Also, WHO ASKS A STUDENT, "Do you want me to walk you home?" Like, firstly, that's weird in anybody's eyes—STUDENT, TEACHER, OR PARENT. SECOND, WHY DO YOU WANT TO WALK THEM HOME SO BAD?
-
32. Sweet Home
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
“because the sky was clear” this is why this drama is on this list
-
33. The Defects
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
This drama had me tweaking
-
34. Twinkling Watermelon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Amazing, cried a little. I felt like the beginning trope between him and his dad, where everyone thought he was gay and had a crush on him, was unnecessary, but I understand how it looks from someone else's eyes, but it's still low-key weird. But still a good watch
-
35. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
AHHHH BEAUTIFUL,I LOVE IT, I LOVE THE CHAOS AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, 10/10 WATCH. WILL WATCH AGAIN.
-
36. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I NEED IT INJECTED INSIDE MY VEINS. Like, this drama moved me as a person so much; it had all the potential for it to be a BL, but they were just too scared (glad the director confirmed they're in love)
-
37. Where Your Eyes Linger
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Uhh, I went through some emotions while watching this
-
38. You Make Me Dance
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DRAMA IS STUCK WITH ME. I CRY MULTIPLE TIMES JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM. I MISS MY BABIES SO MUCH
