This is the dramatization of a manga about a middle-aged gay couple living together. Rather than BL I would categorize it as queer/LGBTQ for its portrayal in a more realistic setting.
The episodes deal with their daily lives and also deal with smaller or bigger challenges living as a gay couple in Japan; dealing with growing older is also a common theme. The tone is slice-of-life and some light-hearted comedy. It's not so much romance, but more all things about being in a relationship and inter-personal relationships (e.g. friends, co-workers, family, etc.)
All in all, it's a pretty relaxed watch, also not too difficult language-wise. They cook delicious meals in every episode, often typical Japanese dishes, with detailed aesthetic camera shots and instructions, so it's worth watching it even for just that.
