Warm, Endearing Love Stories and Not Light and Fluffy

Lead characters' love for each other is usually very strong and although there may be a love triangle, their actual cause of separation (momentary or permanent) is unfortunate events in their lives instead of some minor understandings that can easily be resolved through communication. Tragic ending very possible, but does not have to be. These kinds of dramas usually teach you that true love lingers even when two people cannot be together.
