Sugar Dog Life finished airing, so I can do a proper rec post now. This was one of those Japanese BL dramas not available for international audience, but luckily there were lovely people making fansubs. You can get all the episodes with hard subs here.
I wholeheartedly recommend this drama if you want to watch something cute and heartwarming. Because that was one of the cutest and fluffiest BL dramas I’ve ever watched. There is one tiny subplot in like two episodes, which has a tiny bit of angst, but apart from that there is nothing but sweetness and fluff and sugar overload. And it’s one of those ‘food as the love language’ dramas, so you might get a bit hungry while watching it. 😊
As for our main characters - Sakuraba Isumi is 20 years old student with a baby face, which is responsible for him almost getting taken into custody by 31 years old police officer Amasawa Kyosuke, who thinks Isumi is a minor getting drunk on the street late at night. They meet again when Amasawa starts buying his snacks in a convenience store where Isumi works part-time. They start to get closer because Isumi is concerned about Amasawa’s unhealthy eating habits and offers to cook for him at home.
The actors have nice chemistry and the cutest height difference. Isumi has to stand on his tiptoes, but like a lot, to press that sweet kiss to Amasawa’s cheek in the eighth episode. They are really adorable together. 😍

A bit more with spoilers behind the cut.
Isumi is adorable and kind, if a bit grumpy and closed off at first, and unable to rely on others because of what happened with his father when he was a child. Amasawa is charming and sincere, and honest, but so oblivious to Isumi’s feelings for a long time. Even though Isumi isn’t even that subtle. But it wasn’t frustrating IMO, because there was no silly miscommunication drama here, just a sweet and oblivious guy who couldn’t recognize his feelings for what they were. But then, thanks to this, we got an obligatory running scene after Amasawa had his light-bulb moment. And I love running scenes after life-changing realizations so much. I also love knowledgeable best friends, who always notice their friend’s feelings, and always have the best relationship advice. A character like that is the staple in Japanese BLs, and this drama has one of those, too. 😊The actors have nice chemistry and the cutest height difference.
