Agreed - to all of this!!

The special episode takes the whole drama from "pretty good" to "absolutely phenomenal." I actually shed tears multiple times throughout the special and it had the best ending. There are eleven episodes to this drama, and not ten, so don't judge it without watching that last episode!

It's actually not an open ending at all - you need to watch the special which ties everything up very neatly!

I watched it on that D addicts site, and had to download the subs on the side. That's a very clunky way to watch dramas, imo, but I was glad for that at least.

In fact, "Your Eyes Tell" is a new Japanese movie from this year, so yes!

These are the ones that end happily, (according to your definition, although the characters are not all married):
Glass no le
Love Shuffle (I love this one so much!)
Kakafukaka
Million Yen Women
Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru
Marmalade Boy
Blue Spring Ride (they're high schoolers and not married, obvs, but it's still good, I think)
Perfect Crime (if I remember correctly, this is happy...?)

I'm adding Scum's Wish, even though they're high schoolers and it's not a happy ending it's still a mature drama! (And it's the same ML as Perfect Crime.)

No problem!

Ok, should I list them as a spoiler in another comment then?

Define “happy ending” :-)

Let me know if you like it! It is almost exactly like its manga, like word for word, but some folks loved it (like me!) and some folks didn’t.

Thanks for the article!

Welcome to the conversation! :-) haha

"HYUNDAI KNOWS WHAT IT DID." This is the funniest article I've ever read on this page...on many pages, actually. I could only read a paragraph at a time, I was laughing so hard...nice work!

And yet here you are again! You didn't answer my question at all, of which I certainly asked one in the original comment, much less provided a "courteous answer" but whatever. I don't care anymore. On more threads than I can count you seem to be pretty good at gaslighting, and I'm not here for it anymore. You act like you're an expert in people's lives and you make sweeping proclamations about how everyone else has insecurities, but your own comments make you sound pretty damn insecure to me. Projection, indeed. Defensive, more like.
I actually make a living irl dealing with some of these issues, and attempting to help people acknowledge them. And I already mentioned that I'm not prudish at all. Moralistic? That's funny. You don't know a damn thing about me, and yet in this one comment alone you've spewed out all kinds of bullshit that is patently false, on all fronts.
For the record, I've never once hated on actors here who've had affairs, and think that what a performer does on their own time is none of my business. But once again you're making assumptions that end up being wrong. So bye.

I'm reading the manga right now and it's definitely how the character was written. Ryusei's acting in Cheer Boys!! and Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi (one of my favorites) is much warmer and more accessible. And I just started watching Your Eyes Tell and there's a lot going on behind his eyes and underneath what he says. For being only 24, he's got some serious skills already.

I loved this! The crying doll was the cutest thing ever. And it's about the most chaste age gap drama I've ever seen. Yes, she's a minor but it's all incredibly appropriate. I hope there's a sequel since the manga is still going and I want to see more of their story! Not sure why there are negative comments about the acting - that's how manga adaptations often are - and the two leads are excellent actors in their own right.

There's a glaring omission in my list of forbidden love stories and that's Takane to Hana - I LOVED it and can't believe I forgot to add it here.

The FL was really good in Double Fantasy. The acting all around was really solid, I found.

You've mentioned three of my favorites as well!
Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru
A story to read when you first fall in love
You’re my pet (2017)

I'm not familiar with Second Virgin yet, and I've seen Love and Fortune several times now but still prefer other student-teacher dramas like Majo no Jouken and A story to read when you first fall in love.
My favorite K-drama student-teacher drama is probably Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy, which is also an older drama, like Majo no Jouken. I don't mind watching forbidden love stories every once in a while and I like student-teacher slightly more than step-sibling love stories, but I generally like to watch love between consenting adults. Consent is a huge must for me, (and I don't care if it's just fiction.)
What did you like most about Love and Fortune? I'm interested in your opinion.

Glass no Ie has Saito Takumi as the ML....and he is masterful in it, imo.
Double Fantasy was interesting - not my absolute favorite - but well worth watching at least once. Definitely fits within the mature category talked about in this article (if toxic is one of the requirements.)
