Noona romance. The FL is an older career woman who has had several bad relationships / little success with love. The ML fell for the FL when he was a kid and reunites with her years later, when he moves in with her.
Similar to the FL's appreciation for LZA's hair when it was long and fluffy (which earned him the nickname Flower Fairy), the FL in Kimi Wa Petto loves the ML's soft fluffy hair. His hair and eyes remind her of her childhood pet Momo, which leads her to end up allowing him to live with her as her "pet".
The MLs in both dramas are younger, artsy (Takeshi/Momo is a dancer similar to LZA's role as a singer and musician), affectionate towards the FL / make an effort to comfort her when she comes home at the end of the day, and puppy-like. The parents of both MLs disapprove of their choice to pursue a career in the arts.
Both dramas have excellent cuddles.
