Our definition suggests that resentment and anger might be the dominant emotion in 哭喪著臉.
sullen - "gloomily or resentfully silent or repressed"
scowl - "an angry or bad-tempered expression"

But M, for example says 不高興, which doesn't imply anger.
臉色難看、不高興的樣子。
如:「自從家裡遭了小偷後,他就老是這樣哭喪著臉,好像世界末日了一樣。」

Ex:
林小姐飛跑到母親身邊,哭喪著臉說:
Miss Lin, grief written all over her face, flew to her mother.

心裏直是亂跳,哭喪著臉,好半天說不出話來。
His heart skipping unevenly, his face mournful, Mr Lin was unable to speak for some time.

"拿来呀。"
王四没办法,哭丧着脸把地瓜给了队长。
"Hand it over," the team leader ordered.
Wang Si had no choice. With a long face he handed the potato over to the team leader.

九月十五日,台北市青島東路的立法院門口,也來了一群大陸配偶。不像士林那些人的談笑風生,女士們大多哭喪著臉,先生則在一旁安慰著。最引人注目的是他們的孩子,頭上綁著陳情的白布條,身上寫道「我是無辜」幾個大字。他們要向立法院陳情,讓他們留下來。
On September 15, another group of mainland wives and their husbands gathered in front of the Legislative Yuan on Chingtao E. Rd. in Taipei. Unlike the laughing, chatting crowd at Shihlin, the women were tearful and upset, and the men were trying to comfort them. What attracted the most attention were the little children, who sported white protest headbands and were draped in slogans proclaiming "I am innocent." The women were petitioning the Legislative Yuan to let them remain in Taiwan.
