Bittersweet Love-triangles

This is a list that involves both movies and tv-dramas. There was a time long ago that i was totally obsessed with love-triangles. But now i have totally outgrown this trope and do find it annoying. This is a list with love-triangles that totally broke my heart because the Second Male Lead never find a second love. He spends the rest of his life only loving the Female Lead. Its bittersweet and always breaks my heart.
