Boys Be Brave Eps 1 & 2 Stray Thoughts
I've been anticipating this one. Roommates romance from the director of Our Dating Sim.
Episode 1: Anxious to Say I Like You
Interesting. We're starting at Christmas.
Oh boy, our protagonist is a perfectionist who has convinced himself he's single purely by choice.
Hold on. I'm with Kim Jin Woo on this rush home and freakout if Jeong Gi Seop is squatting. What's with the flashes of cute photos? Do they know each other well?
Oh, I see. Kim Jin Woo is gay for Jeong Gi Seop and hasn't said anything before.
So, Jeong Gi Seop is definitely a squatter, but just crashing with an old friend for a month before a major move is far more reasonable.
Damn, this guy lacks a real appreciation for how his blasé attitude impacts people he's with.
Curious. How has Jeong Gi Seop knowing Kim Jin Woo likes him affected his previous behavior as a player?
Oh ho! Jeong Gi Seop just said it out loud!
I'm glad Kim Jin Woo didn't lie, and am glad we're moving quickly. I gotta know what Jeong Gi Seop wants out of this, because he seems flaky from Jin Woo's perspective when it comes to romances.
Episode 2: Finding Your Type
Viki is getting on my nerves. Making me put in my PIN because this is rated R means they better do more than just be pretty and smile at each other in this.
Oh, good! We're going to explore the interiority of Jeong Gi Seop and why he says yes to everyone.
Okay! He's drawn to Kim Jin Woo's isolationist nature and ability to say no all the time. I appreciate that he could see Kim Jin Woo mooning over him the whole time, and was curious why he wouldn't say no. Still, as a formerly closeted person, I have a lot of easy answers to that, which may place this show in the bubble.
Kim Jin Woo said he's not like other girls. 🙄
He let that man be cold all night because he thought he was lying. I feel you on having someone barrel past your boundaries, Jin Woo, but we can't be that bad of a host. Once you let him stay you had to do your best for basic comfort.
Gi Seop, how have you made friends this whole time?
Don't read that man's diary!!
What sort of agreement can these two make when Gi Seop keeps ignoring Jin Woo saying no?
Incredible. This Ji In Ho guy shows up at the very end to initiate his own rushing past lines plot as well.
I am intrigued! This started off differently from what I expected, but I'm excited to see what this show pulls out of these two boys on opposite ends of the spectrum. I will have to do some thinking about Kim Jin Woo, because I panicked for a bit with him when Gi Seop called out that Jin Woo liked him.

Everyday is a struggle with Ryu Sun Jae because he is a simp. He was born to teach us what an absolute pleasure it is to watch a man simp so hard that he needs a moment to look away and compose himself so that his downbad smile is not on display.
Downbadism is an art and Byun Woo Seok acts like he did a four year degree on it. You go king.
Another thing that absolutely is adorable is that Im Sol is still not in love with Sun Jae. Everything she does is out of the love she has for a person who got her through a hard time, someone she has grown to care about but as an idol. Right now while she has begun to see Sun Jae as the kid who lives next door, it is still her idol that she wants to save. And that to me is pretty nice because she isn't trying to impose herself on him or his life for any other reason but to keep him safe. There is no ulterior motive. And I think thats what makes her so likeable.
Special mention to tae sung, he is adorable in a way that not all second leads are and all his scenes with his banter with Sol are extremely fun to watch. In another drama, they would make an absolutely cute pair. They make a cute pair here too ngl. Love how she treats him like a naughty child and he calls her grandma
