If watching "I Hear Your Voice" last week convinced you that you only want to see kdramas with happy endings, you are in luck. There are lots of them.

Listing them won't necessarily tell you exactly how they end but you will know that the endings are likely to leave you with a smile. You may notice that the following dramas also include some of the most popular ones, because really who does not like a happy ending?

Of course not everyone will agree on whether an ending is happy or not. One person's happy ending may not satisfy another person. For example, the heroine might favor the guy you think is wrong for her. And some endings are so vague that audiences can read whatever they like into them. Some people list "City Hunter" among their favorite dramas with happy endings, while others say that it was too hard to figure out what actually happened. Many people liked the ending of "That Winter The Wind Blows" while others were not sure what happened in the final scenes.

But there's no confusion in the following dramas, which start out by asking a question:

"Lie To Me"

Can any good come of a sham marriage? Is pretending to be married a recipe for disaster or a good way to find out if you're compatible. Since this drama, starring Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan, has a happy ending, you can probably guess the answer.

"Greatest Love"

Can true love exist in the world of fake entertainment? The romantic comedy, starring Cha Seung Won and Gong Hyo Jin, discovers what's real and enduring.

"My Girl"

Can an almost compulsive liar live happily ever after with the truth? Lee Da Hae, Lee Dong Wook and Lee Joon Gi get down to the truth in this romantic comedy.

"Love Rain"

This comedy asks two questions. Can love survive for decades and should you surrender your happiness for someone else's happiness? Yoona, Jang Geun Suk, and Lee Mi Sook find a way to answer these questions in a positive way.

"Boys Over Flowers"

Can being rich and powerful make up for qualities such as determination and a strong sense of justice. This mega hit with Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum and Goo Hye Sun pits a girl with more than her share of character against a pack of spoiled rich boys.

"Coffee Prince"

Does the love you feel for someone depend on extraneous details like their gender? Goo Yong and Yoon Eun Hye show that a true love connection can be more than skin deep.

"Secret Garden"

Can you ever know what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes? Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won portray a stuntwoman and a chaebol heir who develop a unique understanding of each other.
