Foundational Romance Tropes? None really, one of its issues

This four part mini-series featured a bossy barista and his new trainee finding love. It was quite amateurish, and with a compressed time frame of less than an hour total it felt more like a series outline (or visual cliffnotes). It hit many BL tropes, but without any substance or character development none of them had any kind of significance or impact. It was cute enough for a short run (no kisses, just hand holds etc...) and okay acting but quite sparse.
