To begin with , I called it realistic because the awkward stares and the interactions felt real as if it was not a filming scene but a moment straight out of a daily life of a person.

Other BLs show this dreamy world where leads are so much in love or are ardent enemy turning into lovers, but here everything goes smoothly.

Little more screen space was required to show how and why the chef falls for and is tender towards the soju guy at the beginning, given there was no previous interactions between them

But anyway, the story is average, a bit dragged but the cute moments and expressions makes up for it.
The kisses were just touch of lips as expected from Korean BL but not complaining since they look natural and awkward at the same time.

Watch it without expectations and move on to next one because it won't linger in your thoughts after it gets over.
