I have to add another thumbs up to City Hall. Get past the first episode (which so many say is slow, though I didn't think it was), and it'll take you here, there, and everywhere rooting for the everyday heroine. It also has one of the best endings ever. If you don't angsty shows with tears, but with good endings, try Spring Waltz (which is visually stunning), Boys Over Flowers (it's such a schoolgirl squeal fest, but a good guilty pleasure with a good ending), My Girl, Baker Kim Tak Goo, Kimichi Family (one of the best I've seen in a while), I Really, Really Like You, and Drunken to Love You. If you're looking for more bittersweet (some crying in the middle, but not a river of tears), but with good endings, try My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (funny with bittersweet), Operation Proposal, Stars Falling From the Sky, or Sweet Relationship. If you want straight out sweet, without using so many Kleenexes people think you own stock in the company, try God of Study, Skip Beat, Flower Boy Ramen Shop, You're Beautiful, Tamra the Island (historical), Pasta (more mature romantic comedy). Just remember, all dramas are going to have some tissue worthy moments; these just have very few. Avoid at all costs (I learned these the hard way): 49 Days, What Happened in Bali, Assorted Gems, and Hong Gil Dong (great writing and story right up to the end).
Oh thank heavens for this thread! I'm a fellow happy ender and I spend a lot more time searching for dramas/movies with happy endings than I do watching dramas/movies. What a waste. So I say gamsahamnida a bunches! :)
While reading this thread I suddenly realised how many dramas have a bad ending!!! I knew there were some but I didn't thought it were this much...

Oh, by the way, City Hunter may be an amazing drama and also both main leads end up living, but I hated to see two other characters die in the end, also because you figure out, who will die at least after the 18th eps, if not before...

Well...the drama was good and maybe it wouldn't be that good if there wasn't drama at the end...but still I HATE bad endings for characters I like...>:(
Can someone please confirm that the ending of Save the Last Dance For Me and Crazy For You, both Korean dramas, have a happy ending? I have been seeing contradicting claims all over the place. Which is it? Thx! :)
Since I absolutely can't have bad endings without a sequel, I'll try to figure out something:
After reading some Reviews and Comments I realised:

God's Quiz Season 3 ---> bad ending??????

Really? Can't believe it, so I'm asking...does anyone know, if God's Quiz S3 has a good or bad ending...I know there'll be a Season 4 but still I don't want to watch it and then wait for a new season to get information about his ending...
Does someone know????
If you wnt happy I would have to suggest the comedies: Delicious Gakuin Gokusen 1, 2, 3 and the movie Waterboys 2 Hana Kimi (of course) ...and I'll try to find more comedies.
What I really hate about dramas is that they cut off on the end, It's like there is another part missing and you're like " that's the end? What's going to happen next" For Example: * Boys over Flowers( Korean version) the end, they all standing in the beach holding hands and the girl never says that she wants to marry him. * Heartstrings ( no offence) great drama but the ending.They were mad at each other and at the end they kiss! * K-Pop Audition the ending was to fast maybe became they cut down 2 ep. * Fashion King this drama seem like the director just wanted to get this drama done because the ending was very bad. At the end the guy that we all might of though was going to be successful in a way and get the girl, ends up getting killed and the girl stays with the other guy. .WTF But if you want to c a good ending I would choose Rooftop Prince and/or Queen In Hyun's Man
I don't know if you like historical dramas buuuut there's one drama that seems totally like a tragedy (and even the description sounds like this will end as a tragedy - since it's like a romeo&juliet kind of story) ----- against all odds this has a happy ending O.O (happy ending doesn't mean you won't cry the last few episodes... but the last scene is so happy - it gives you a really good feeling *.*) try: The Princess' man since i also totally hate tragedies i may have more dramas that fit in this thread but TPM is the only one i can think of so far...

Highlight; spoiler

It's one of those "Did it happen or not?" kind of endings. If it did happen, it's a bad ending, but if it didn't, there's hope. And the timing was just... asldkfjaflsjajkfa. I need season 4 now. QQ

I had the same feeling, I was watching it with my husband; he said that it was good enough (only because he hasn't seen many dramas so he's not specialized in dramas ending) but for me, we seriously need God's Quiz Season 4.
Ok so i just finished watch a Korean drama and so far its been the happiest drama end I've seen and the drama is called "can you hear my heart" at the end everybody had a happy ever after!!!!!!
Hope this isn't bad to do, and no one gets offended but I summed up/cleaned up and added/updated to the ongoing list... thought I'd share. Feel free to edit/correct as necessary if you see one here that is incorrect or have seen one that should be added!
