Time is often a theme. Maybe two people meet at the wrong time. They might be in different stages of their lives. For instance, one could be ready to settle down while the other wants to explore the world. This misalignment in their timings results in a sad love story. Also, loss is a big theme. It could be the loss of a relationship due to death or other unforeseen circumstances.

One characteristic is the use of bittersweet endings. For example, in some stories, the main character may experience a moment of great love or connection, but then it's quickly followed by loss. Another characteristic is the strong emotional contrast. They often start with a seemingly ordinary situation that gradually builds up the sad elements while still having some sweet moments like a kind gesture or a beautiful memory in between.
