About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn, intimate, and grounded relationship drama with lingering tension and quiet emotion, similar to Plan B or End of the Century; Not for you if you need fast pacing or lots of plot.
Pros: tender, realistic romance; strong chemistry; emotionally affecting mood | Cons: very slow pace; repetitive daily routines; lots of nudity
