Boys Be Brave trailer focuses on the lead cast’s growing closeness
The K-drama Boys Be Brave trailer features a love-and-hate friendship between Jung Ki-Sub and Kim Jin-Woo. The latter is not happy with Ki-Sub moving into his apartment. When Ki-Sub asks if he could sleep with Jin-Woo, he yells at his friend. In response, Ki-Sub says, “You like me, though.”
In the first half of the trailer, Jin-Woo seems to run away from Ki-Sub. He avoids his true feelings towards his friend, while Ki-Sub doesn’t stop pursuing him. A text in the video reads, “The more I push [him away], the closer we become,” hinting at Jin-Woo’s feelings.
The trailer’s second half features the growing closeness between the lead cast. It ends with Ki-Sub narrating, “Kim Jin Woo. I won’t ever leave you alone.” Aside from these, the storyline includes a romance between two other couples — Choi Balg-Eum (Jung Yeo-Joon) and Ji In-Ho (Ahn Se-Min).
Boys Be Brave will premiere on Heavenly and Viki on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
