    Trying

    IMDb 8.0

    Why this fits: Trying is a warm couple comedy-drama that matches Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You in how it treats awkward honesty like the main source of laughs.

    IMDb 6.9

    Why this fits: The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You brings the same feel-good romance energy as Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, just with faster, gag-heavy momentum. Where the supermarket-backseat quiet builds closeness slowly, this one floods the screen with affectionate chaos and constant comedic escalation, staying light and upbeat.

    • romantic comedy
    • absurd premise
  4. Rich Girl Caretaker: I'm Secretly the Caregiver of the Most Popular Girl in This Rich Kid School poster
    Why this fits

    Rich Girl Caretaker leans into reputation-saving comedy and live-in caretaker romance, with near-exposure mishaps that keep the closeness awkward and funny. Compared to Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You’s quiet daily-life intimacy, this one adds more rich-kid class satire and domestic mishaps that escalate faster.

    The Ramparts of Ice

    IMDb 7.5
    Why this fits

    The Ramparts of Ice offers guarded loner romance and a slow emotional thaw through classmate friendship. If Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You feels like understated adult closeness, this high school trust story keeps the warmth more tentative, with social awkwardness doing the heavy lifting.

    • slow burn
  6. Sold Out on You poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Apr 22, 2026

    Sold Out on You

    IMDb 6.6
    Why this fits

    Sold Out on You brings workplace comedy and boss-employee rivalry into a warm romcom that still moves with gentle slow-burn tenderness. Where Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You stays intimate and quiet, this one widens into story-based city versus rural charm and more overt professional friction.

    • warm romcom
    • story-based comedy
    • opposites attract
