Real High School Romance and Nineteen to Twenty share thematic similarities centered around the experiences of young individuals in pivotal life stages. Both shows capture the essence of youth, growth, and the transformative journey into adulthood.
I believe the characters share similar vibes. The main leads, who are passive in nature, resemble each other greatly – initially hesitant to embrace change, but eventually discovering an unexpected partner for their future, someone who proves to be both understanding and loving, as well as profoundly supportive.
This drama has a completely different plotline from I DON'T LOVE YOU YET. But, it gives the same vibes as the latter... Probably because the director is the same.
If you are interested in the same slow paced buildup dramas, you might find it great.
Though, Kimi wa petto does have some quirky/ even mature elements but the character development goes on well and you feel satisfied completing it.
I am not recommending the old Kimi wa Petto drama because it is not related to this drama... But if you like Kimi wa Petto (2017) , do try out the old version as well...
