Chinese Ancient Dramas (Happy/Sad/Vague endings)

Chinese Ancient Dramas classified if Happy, Sad, or Vague Ending

This list is based on Cdramas I’ve personally watched. So this is not a complete list and probably your fave Cdrama is not here. This Cdramas are mostly Romance-centered or with hints of Romance.  

Happy endings — typically with both leads being alive and ending up together, and may or may not have kids

  1. OOO - highest happy ending rating in terms of none of the leads died, they end up together, few of the “good” supporting cast dies, and they have kids or grow old together
  2. OO - mid range happy ending in that none of the leads died, and they end up together
  3. O - lowest happy ending rating where none of the leads died, and they vaguely end up together and shown in the last scene together either as their original selves or turned into something else with a chance of reuniting in the future

Sad Endings  one or both of the leads definitively die, they might be alive  but they don’t end up together, or they don’t end up together and one of them definitively dies

Vague Endings — one of the leads you think died are either implied to be alive by some magic, both leads seemed to die and you‘re not 100% sure if they are together in a dream, in the afterlife, or in real life

Will be updated if I watch more Cdrama in this genre.
