Goofy and serious at the same time
Viki: https://www.viki.com/tv/40439c-boys-be-brave
What started as a goofy little quick BL to watch for fun became something so much more.
At the start I thought I wouldn't like it too much, it was silly and whatever but nothing special, but the more I watched, the better it became. Especially the side couple, who genuinely made me tear up for them.
Overall I think this is definitely a good series, but there are a few things that could've greatly improved it.
Things I liked:
1. Side couple. Insanely good, the biggest reason for my love for this series. While we didn't see them that much, I really enjoyed whatever we got with them and honestly think they deserve their own spin-off series, but of course one can only hope.
2. Fun and silly. At first it was a bit too goofy for me even though I started watching it just as a quick, relaxing kind of series. But with all of the maturity later on, it really became a good contrast and was nice to see from time to time.
3. Jung Gi Seop. It took him a while to figure out himself and what he actually wants, but when he did, his growth made him an even better person.
4. Main character's growth. He had a lot of growth as well, which was nice to see.
Things I disliked:
1. Misunderstandings on misunderstandings.
2. I really wanted more for the side couple. With both the time and the way things ended. I'm still happy with whatever scraps we got, since I was getting really suspicious of them not seeing each other again after everything. So I'm happy they got at least somewhat of the happy ending, but I really wanted so much more for them.
3. Short. I think if it had at least two more episodes it would really improve a lot of things.
