Featured review

10/10

office romance, age gap, employee/boss, food is the love language, coming of age late in life

At first because of the visuals of the actors, I thought it would be boring to watch - An old guy falling in love with young guy.

But dang !!!

I was wrong. And good that I was wrong.

It is such a brrath of fresh air. I loved this series.

It's about a younger man with a long cherished crush on his boss (ten years older and going through a mid life crisis) who decides to save and seduce said man with pancakes.

It's wholesome, comforting, sexy, and a very necessary narrative about still having hope, interests, and openness to affection at any age. It's coming of age/queerness packaged in a subtle critique of expectations around masculinity and love and loneliness... and it's beautiful.

MUST WATCH !!
