I loved this movie, the chemistry, the story, the leads and the ending got me crying my eyes out . So I searched for similar movies and romcom movies but I couldn't come across any that I would want to watch I would preferably want a movie similar to 20th century girl or some other romcom movie that would make my heart flutter and I would appreciate if the movie was released recently ( 2018 to 2022) :)

To All the Boys I've Loved Before 1 and 3.

Tune Into Love (also on Netflix).

Your best bet is probably watching Korean dramas. They release new one season rom-coms pretty much year round and they're great. I'd suggest starting with Reply 1997 or What's Wrong with Secretary Kim or Business Proposal.

Twenty Five Twenty One! It's a korean drama but it's pretty similar. I'd also suggest Reply 1988.

Is this just a rip off of 20th Century Women?

No. I thought this film was an adaptation of 20th CW at first, but it was actually just a romance film.

Just copying what I recommended from other subreddit. Here it is.

This film reminds me of Hana & Alice's best friend trope, btw.

For the first love (or kind of first love) trope with a bittersweet ending, here are some that I know:

Be With You (both the Japanese & Korean versions!)
My Girl and I (Korean ver.) / Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World (Japanese ver.) [This is the closest to 20th Century Girl. I prefer the Korean adaptation, btw. Still love it.]
Love Letter (Jap.)
Hotarubi no Mori e (Jap.)
Our Times (Tai.)
The Classic (Kor.)
We Couldn't Become Adults (Jap.)
Heaven’s Waiting (Phil.)
Your Name Engraved Herein (Tai.)
On Your Wedding Day (Korean ver.) / My Love (Chinese ver.)
First Love/Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Thai)

While writing this recommendation, I realized that this trope was actually common with Japanese films back then too!
