If you like a goofy main character with a big heart: “Love Tractor”
Jung Ki Sub (Nam Si An) is unanimously recognized as having a big heart and sometimes he follows his heart while forgetting his brain! He nonetheless remains an adorable goofball with good intentions, which explains why we can’t blame him for anything. The same energy is found in warm-hearted farm boy Ye Chan (Yoon Do Jin) in “Love Tractor.”
Ye Chan’s simple but happy daily life in a small town is disrupted by the arrival of Seon Yul (Do Won), an injured young city dweller who tries to escape the pressure of his father’s expectations. Ye Chan’s bright personality actually turns out to be exactly what Seon Yul needs.

If you like roommates who end up loving each other scenarios: “Roommates of Poongduck 304”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen two likely-to-be-likeable men move in together in the world of BL. “Roommates of Poongduck 304 is about two boys who move in together, but under different circumstances than Boys Be Brave! “.
Here, we find the carefree chaebol Ji Ho Joon (Kim Ji Woong), kicked out by his father for being too lax in his responsibilities as heir to the company. Struggling to find a place to live that meets his needs, that is, a place with good shower pressure, he ends up moving in with Seo Jae Yoon (Yoon Seo Bin), the owner of the building, who has no choice but to let him stay.
While the two men are already off to a bad start, things take a turn for the worse when Ho Joon discovers that his new roommate is actually his subordinate at work.

If you like the dynamic of opposite poles: “Semantic Error”
It’s more common to see opposites attract in BL and even other genres. Indeed, the concept of two people complementing each other and learning to understand and love someone different works so well. Although Kim Jin Woo (Kim Sung Hyun) is analytical and hardworking, focusing almost exclusively on his studies, Ki Sub’s bright and silly personality helps him laugh and smile. Perhaps it’s their differences that make them a perfect match!
Along the same lines, “Semantic Error” shows us how two great opposites, Chu Sang Woo (Jaechan) and Jang Jae Young (Park Seo Ham), are able to learn from each other and grow , despite their differences. They certainly encounter some obstacles along the way, but that’s part of the process.
Which is also sad that the series “Boys Be Brave!” » ended so soon? Now that the series has ended, what are you watching? Let us know in the comments below!
