Old Fashion Cupcake follows Togawa and Nozue, Togawa being 29 and Nozue being 39 years old. They're coworkers, but Nozue has always been a huge inspiration for Togawa. He has followed his boss's advice and is close to him. To return this favor, Togawa makes Nozue enjoy his life more. Nozue mentions that girls have more fun, and so the two do girly things like having girls talk, going to cafes, and eating sweets. They become closer and closer, the two can feel the tension as their relationship becomes more than boss and employee.

This drama is a great new addition to BL dramas. It is rather short, which is a little disappointing to me. The five episodes make it more like a movie, which is fine but I would have liked a bit more time to flesh out the characters and the relationship. The music is good and the acting skills are strong. The setting, while being explored in other BLs like Cherry Magic and Life: Love on the Line, is still unique. Older people deserve fulfilling love lives too. I love how Nozue feels like a shy person even though he is portrayed as 10 years older than his lover. They have great chemistry. I would recommend this BL to BL fans in general, as well as anyone who likes silly slice of life movies.
