BL-needle score: This does not feel like a BL really, though the main male leads are gay

I started this with zero expectation, mainly because I was intrigued by the synopsis and the fact that this is a drama from Japan which has episodes that are 45 minutes long...I thought, what's the deal here...and boy, am I glad that I started it!!! This low-key reminded me of Forest Gump, the same dumb hope, goodness of heart, and those 'you-want-to-believe-utopia' feels

Clumsy, a tad naive, kind, and an old gay man -that is one of our leads...the other, in his 30s, is more practical, if not cynical, mostly open gay man...and the other key character is a girl, sharp, a tad eccentric, and seemingly bordering on rebellious, high school student, who feels abandoned by her parents and doesn't want anyone to know anything about her family.....these odd trio comes together by fate's stroke and share an icecream tub...which promises to change their lives...🥰
