Ocean Likes Me (2022)

These are both understated BL mini webseries with 2 protagonists navigating a change in their relationship dynamic as they help each other pursue and reach their dreams. There's also a food component and metaphor to them as one pair has a cafe owner and the other has a chef.

Both of these korean BL miniseries focus on a grounded romance story between a young reserved chef and a disillusioned celebrity/celebrity-hopeful seeking respite. In these stories, the romance presents inspiration to both leads as well a conflict originating from the leads' different personalities.

Both have a seaside setting. One ML is a resident, the other a stranger who arrives. The MLs have a grumpy/sunshine dynamic and come from very different worlds.

Both are healing, warm dramas with a fall/winter setting and focus on meals.
