Cobra Kai, but with Chinese martial arts and (obviously) gay.

Calvin does Tai Chi. Eli does Kung Fu. They hate each other but are forced to train as teammates for an upcoming martial arts tournament.

It's like E.T. (if E.T. was hot and gay).

When an attractive alien named Caelum crash-lands in Bennett’s small town, Bennett must help the alien find his way home while dealing with his own developing feelings and the truth behind why Caelum ended up on Earth.
