pretty cute! ...but..the tattoo though?!?

This is essentially a Korean version of 10 Things I Hate About You, it's a pretty cute series that leaves you with a nice fuzzy feeling and a satisfied smile...
..well except for one teeny tiny detail.

Boys be brave is a sweet youre-really-not-my-type-but-for-some-reason-i-love-you story. Jinwoo is particular about everything, and he doesn't do anything he doesn't want to-- that includes asking Kisub, the guy he likes, to date him. It's clear that Kisub isn't cut out for a monogamous relationship, he's a carefree guy who dates whoever he wants, and though he likes his girlfriends, he's never been in love. But things are different when he's around Jinwoo, and we watch their story evolve from tart bickering to sweet kisses.

While the story itself isn't terribly original and feels a bit thrown together at times, its good enough to keep you interested. They did throw in a confusing health complication in which never really fully resolved or addressed, but it didn't make much of a difference to the story. There was the tiniest detail that felt wildly unresolved at the end, as Kisub is vying for Jinwoo's attention, he ends up GETTING A TATTOO FRECKLE RIGHT UNDER HIS EYE TO MATCH JINWOO'S-- this was done in order to become more of Jinwoo's type, but the fact that he actually got the tattoo and it was literally never brought up again was like WHAAATT?!

Overall this was a cute watch though, the characters are sweet and the scenes are well done, production quality is high too. Its a nice easy watch to binge on a day off.
