Historical Romance Dramas with Happy Endings

I define a happy ending as the main leads being together at the end of the show. The one exception to this rule is when one of the main leads dies after living a long happy life with their significant other. I define historical as set at least 20 years before it was filmed. Some of these shows are historical fiction, some have scifi and/or time travel, and some only take place partially in the past. Some of the longer dramas, such as the Korean tv novels and Japanese asadoras, are family dramas that include romance. I have included details in the comments that may help people to decide whether they want to watch some of the shows, read at your own risk because some of the comments contain spoilers. If there is a show that you can think of that is not on the list, please let me know!
