Things I liked:

- he falls first and harddd
- found family + reconnecting
- sweetheart x sweetheart
- bi mc (and it not only being mentioned once)
- 'imperfect' characters
- mental health/personal growth
- the smooth switch between cute, spicy and deep

Could have had a few more scenes of them acting couple-y but not actually dating outside or one of the them watching movies together which was kind of their thing but only tell no show and the entire them becoming/being friends part was just completely left out...so sadly just some 'vibes' were missing.

Spice (quality&quantity):
2.75/5
not that frequent and not that detailed but really focusing on the connection between the characters involved which made it hot (we also love a man who likes to eat out  appreciates the fMC)
