I've heard raves about this series, especially since it starred A-list Japanese actors and an older BL couple. It's nice seeing an older couple in their late forties lead a BL series. The story was on point and touching. Light-hearted and hilarious at times. The acting was top-notch. However, I felt that the series was a bit too slow and downbeat for me. I couldn't really get invested in the characters or their lives unfortunately. My heart wasn't in it. There wasn't really any tension or conflict to propel the story forwards. It kinda felt like coasting in a way. I did enjoy the amount of cooking in this series though. It made me want to try cooking for myself.

The series showed what it meant to share your life with another person. It gave me a pang knowing that at this stage of my life, being closeted, lonely, in my mid-20's and never having had a boyfriend, I am terrified that I may never be able to experience love and that I may never be able to share my life with another human being. Seeing these grown-up gays with their stable jobs and their passions makes me sad and jealous since I don't know what I like nor what I am good at as I have been forced to study something I hate to become something I don't want to be. And now, I am lost...
