Three minutes of bliss

Why are these three + minutes better than the whole series? There is everything here the drama lacked: loads of chemistry,believable romance and no cringe!
This is the epilogue to the series showing us the domestic bliss that Nozue and Togawa are enjoying. They are at ease with each other, exchanging banalities about the everyday life. And then the fireworks begin! Togawa is leaning on the wall, light and shadow playing all over him and he is just listening to Nozue! You can see everything he feels, those bedroom eyes are on fire, he wants to eat him up and then it changes just slightly into the warmest of emotions, pure love! Amazing!
Why is this so short? Frankly speaking, I forgot the series as soon as I finished it, since it left me feeling indifferent, I neither liked it nor hated it, it was just OK.
This short epilogue tells more about love and romance that many series never do in 20 episodes.
The actors are excellent, especially the one playing Togawa: the microexpressions on his face are extraordinary, he knows how to convey feelings to a perfection.
Apple Pie is the perfect ending to an interesting series. I wish it were a bit longer so we get the answer and see them eat the desert but, still, it is fine as it is!

Short Epilogue

It's true that it is quite short, just like the drama, that had just 5 episodes and here that is jus a few minutes...
But also sweet just like their desserts and totally worth it as always!
Just a little bit of them living together, some deserved domestic life!
Nozue cooking (some apple pie, obviously), Togawa being Togawa, why not bickering like a old couple and mostly important: even a surprise in the end?! YES marry and invite me, I want to eat some cake hehe
I wish that we had more of them...

A sweet sample, but without the option of buyng.

This little short epilog left me wanting more a lot more... I feel like it is more of a teaser than an epilog, so though I would normally advocate against second seasons I feel like I need one, this was just not enough.

How can they give us these few minutes of whatever we should call it and then just leave us?

So yes it gets a 9 because it is indeed high quality dialog and a good epilog, But I feel like they they gave me a tiny sample of a great pie but the store is out of stock and I do not know if they will ever restock on it.

I'm not crying, you're crying

How this little three-minute epilogue packs such a punch and is so filled to the brim with love, intimacy, and care is beyond me, but there it is.
It somehow makes space for more Food As A Vehicle Through Which We Convey Our Love, as well as providing us with a brief window into the lives of two vaguely middle aged people who happen to be deeply in love with each other. And then the last line absolutely bowled me over. If you've watched Old Fashion Cupcake, do yourself a favour and watch this as well.

A short clip that I waited so long for

I loved the series Old Fashion Cup Cake thanks to its adult theme by which I mean that the story is based on 2 main leads working in office with a significant age gap between them. The story was simple and the actors had the most amazing chemistry. So when I was made known of the fact that there is a short clip that came with the DVD I waited patiently for the dubbed version and now that wait finally came to an end and I am happy.

The story is rather short, about one morning where Nozue is cooking Apple Pie for Togawa and Togawa can't help but tease Nozue about the night before. The scene ends with Togawa making a request to Nozue.

I can now only hope for a Season 2 for this great series where we get to see more of their relationship developing as at the end of season 1 they just got together

The perfect cherry on top

I found this over a year since I watched the show, I had no idea this existed?....let me say this was entirely too short!! I love the show, but I love this even more. I wanted to see more of their domestic life when I watched the show and this little epilogue clip was the cherry on top of a show I already loved. The domestic vibe between them is very adorable, and the last sentence made me want more from them than I already did. The chemistry was also very apparent; I don't know if this will make sense but it gave a settled but still very much in-love couple rather than the show that gave a fairly new couple still learning the ropes.

The firsts in a relationship

I'm sobbing. They are so sweet, so domestic.

The talk about first times it's interesting, it's not only about Apple Pie, or sex. But it's about their relationship. And it's so beautiful, that they find happiness in each other. Nozue new hobby of cooking, bcs of Togawa, it's so sweet too.

And god knows that I almost cried with the marry me in the ending. Oh my god. I love when queer people have the chance to MARRY. To be happily married. In Japan, same-sex marriage is not legalized, but marriage it's about emotions and connections too. So, it's still so beautiful.

I love this.

Que epílogo MARAVILHOSO

3 minutos do paraíso, o que uma cena com duas pessoas quando é bem feita é capaz de causar, deu um ótimo ponto final na história do casal"

Amei a dinâmica do casal e no final teve o pedido de casamento, chorei tanto.

Amei tudo! a luz, o hobby, até a comida que nem é mostrada amei.

Diálogos bem feitos e mostra como é a conclusão de uma história perfeita!

Todos fofos, músicas meigas, comidas bonitas.

Casal mega fofo em todos os sentidos, um totalmente entregue ao amor e o outro percebendo que está também.
