I talk about a Japanese late-night TV show called Old-fashioned Cupcake. It is a classic office romance. Despite the many familiar genre tropes, I was touched by the actors' selfless and powerful performances. I compare it with Cherry Magic and talk about how they approach themes like age anxiety. I question if 'real life' should be a parameter to judge artworks. Watching Old-fashioned Cupcake has reminded me of boys love stories' peculiar realationship with authenticity. Finally, I give an answer to why I/female audience are so obsessed with artworks of this genre.
