Such a lovely couple!
"What did you eat yesterday?" shows the day-to-day life of a mature gay couple. I started watching hoping that I would enjoy myself, and ended up loving it.
Shiro and Kenji make an unexpectedly good pair. Shiro is very pragmatic and a little grumpy from time to time, and also still not comfortable with being openly gay (especially at his workplace and in crowded places), but after a little while it's very obvious how most of the little things he does day by day are for the sake of Kenji's health and happiness. Kenji, on the other hand, is led by his feelings most of the time and the most comfortable with his sexuality; he wishes he could take care of Shiro more and show him around proudly, but he's willing to give him the time and space to do so on his own terms (well, in most cases).
Rather than a story, this drama is a slice-of-life series and it includes many aspects that aren't mentioned or explored in other LGBTQIA+ shows. I was surprised to see some events of my past in the series, which made it very relatable for me. The idea of Shiro and Kenji being able to navigate through their issues, both the solvable and unsolvable ones, despite their differences and their occasional disagreements, is truly heartwarming to me! I found myself watching with tears in my eyes more than once. The acting of the two protagonists definitely helped with that - they fit so well with each other!
The drama includes many recipies for the different dishes prepared by Shiro (and other characters) in each episode. If you're looking for skinship of any kind, I recommend looking elsewhere - this is not a typical BL and there's no fanservice included!
I had fun, feld moved and ended up devouring the entire series in the span of a couple of days. Absolutely recommended!
