Or will a potentially hot romance become cool like iced tea?

Dekoboko Bittersweet Days by Atsuko Yusen

Tiny and adorable when they first met, Rui – still just as adorable – now looms over his boyfriend, Yuujirou. Though they were little more than best friends at first, the confusion over their true feelings for one another smoldered until they confessed. Now every day passes with such overwhelming sweetness it’s all they can do not to ask themselves, “am I allowed to be this happy?”

A slow-burn love story between a diminutive, athletic teen and his towering, kind-hearted best friend as they journey the slightly bitter road to adulthood towards sweeter days.

The Best Twins (2019)

 As for some other series, the homophobic characters in The Best Twins made it difficult for me to like it. Moreover, again, I didn't like the crass humor. The relationship development of Pond and Tee is weak and therefore, neither in that aspect it made me interested. HEA. Heat Level: 2/6.

YYY (2020)

 YYY is a sitcome, and unfortunately those type of fiction I don't like, full of crass humor and improbably special effect (the scene in the laundry is totally stupid and without sense). Moreover, I already said that, I really can't stand "Yoon" Phusanu Wongsasavanichakorn and sincerely neither "Lay" Talay Sanguandikul is among my favorites... therefore this series did not start well. And for me didn't continue neither. It really was not for me. HEA (delayed in the special). Heat Level: 2/6.

Tonhon Chonlatee (2020)

 I have very mixed feeling for Tonhon Chonlatee. First of all, the homophobia of Tonhon at the beginning of the series is so bad that it made me difficult to like his character afterwards. And indeed he would have been the type of male lead that I like, intensive and sexy, ready to claim his lover without fear. Second, the side couple of Ai and Nhai is so different from how they are in their own series (Ai Long Nhai), that I wanted to scream everytime they are on the screen since I love that series. Third the female characters, even the one that are LGTB positive seems so fake that I really couldn't stand them. Do not let me start to talk about the spurned girlfriend... So I was proving a guilty pleasure when I was enjoying the interaction between Tonhon and Chonlatee, because they were so good in comparison to the bad aspects of this series... I really wanted to forget about the negative sides and just enjoy them. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 4/6.
