I remember there was a scene where the girl wanted to give money to her boyfriend, telling him to go to law school. The guy refused, then the girl asked him to marry her. Some additional details: As far as I remember, the male lead was a former prisoner, the ending was quite heartbreaking, and this K-drama had a super high user rating on the wiki sites.

AND…

For the life of me I can’t remember the name of this drama. It’s set in Joseon, and there’s either a noblewoman, or princess-type character. The woman likes a certain nobleman, and wants to marry him. But he likes another girl, and the girl likes him to. Here’s where it gets tricky. Remember in My Dearest when Gil-chae finds her man at that cottage without his memory and she gives him the silver rings? Okay, so in the drama I’m talking about, there is a scene towards the end where the woman decides to go bring the nobleman back (either the war was over or something changed so he didn’t need to stay there). But when she gets there, she finds him with the girl he loved who had made it there maybe a day before her. In an act of rage, she sets the hut on fire. The man comes running out, but he realizes that the girl can’t come out so he goes back in and dies with her in the fire.
