K-Drama Couples We Wanted To End Up Together But Didn't [Updated 2022]
There are dramas that we just can't get enough of. Even though most shows have beautiful endings or hurtful ones, we still look for other answers in the end.
Some of the couples we ship ends up together, but some don't. Here's a list of those couples we wanted to see more of, but didn't have a happily ever after.
Huge warning though! There are spoilers in this article, so read at your own risk.
Gong Taekwang and Lee Eunbi ('Who Are You: School 2015')
Kim So Hyun and Yook Sungjae in "Who Are You: School 2015"
In this popular school series, Kim So Hyun, who gave life to twin characters Lee Eunbi and Go Eunbyul, had two popular and good looking male partners interested in her. One is Gong Taekwang (Yook Sungjae), who learned the secret of her in the drama.
The relationship between the two characters was expected, that they would end up together.

Haesoo and Wang So ('Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo')
IU and Lee Joon Gi in "Scarlet Heart Ryeo"
This lead couple, played by IU and Lee Joon Gi, captivated our hearts. Their love was you-and-me-against-the-world kind, and it's why we're still deeply attached to Haesoo and Wang So's love story.

With IU's departure, viewers wondered what kind of ending would the two have. At the latter part of the series, Wang So became the king, left alone by the people he treasured.
Yu Na Bi and Yang Do Hyeok ('Nevertheless')
We're pretty sure we weren't the only ones who were stressed by this show.
In this drama, Yu Na Bi (Han So Hee) is a pretty art student who fell in love with Park Jae Eon (Song Kang), a walking red flag. He had commitment issues and disregarded Na Bi's feelings, only coming to her whenever he pleased.

But on the other side, there's a guy who cherishes the art student. Yang Do Hyeok (Chae Jong Hyeop) is her high school friend, an aspiring chef and food vlogger, and someone who genuinely cares for her.
We all wanted Yu Na Bi to come to her senses, but she still chose the one who broke her heart multiple times.
Wang Eun and Park Soondeok ('Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo')
Baekhyun and Z. Hera in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo"
We still can't get over Wang Eun's (EXO's Baekhyun) death on "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo." What's more saddening than seeing the love of your life die in front on you?

Lee Soo and Gae Ttong ('Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency')
Seo Ji Hoon and Gong Seungyeon in "Flower Crew"
A blacksmith and a slave, they sure looked like a beautiful couple. Lee Soo asked for help to get married to the love of his life from the Flower Crew as the agency is the best when it comes to managing weddings. It gave off the idea that he would end up with Gae Ttong with the crew's help.
