Short Series with Amazing Chemistry between Leads

A surprising BL entry from South Korea, given the general homophobic attitudes there. This series avoids all the pitfalls common to the BL genre. The story is very straight forward and I can't say it's original because it's realistic in that way: boys fall in love, parents intervene, boys get back together. The characters are distinctive, well-acted and not stereotypes. Both protagonists are really cute. It's a slow burn series but it only has 8 10-minute episodes. The leads have amazing chemistry. They end up happily together although it's only at the very end of the series, after being 3 years apart and much heartbreak. There isn't much time to touch on much but the relationship between the protagonists but homophobia (from the father) and matter-of-fact acceptance is touched upon. Both protagonists are never established as gay or bi but given they're only in high school, I think it's reasonable. The most annoying character has to be the fujoshi owner of the restaurant although I must say it's an accurate portrayal. No, gay men don't owe you insights into their sex lives.
