Be My Favorite

I found out about this show on twitter and I'm so glad I decided to watch it. At first it was just fun and games because Kawi kept trying to "fix" his relationship with Pear but it just never turned out the way he wanted it to. But as the plot progressed, so did the character development and the relationship between the characters. I loved how Kawi's friendship with Pear (and Max) turned out in the end. And I also really liked the tender and vulnerable moments each main character shared with their parents. Honestly I cried at those parts because their parents were so understanding and supportive of them. There was no judgement and the characters were allowed to feel what they were feeling without any guilt. But of course, those were all supporting the main event which was the relationship between Kawi and Pisaeng.

I freaking love Pisaeng. He's like the perfect guy and boyfriend and I got kind of annoyed because Kawi was so indecisive and unsure of himself and his feelings for Pisaeng. It's so easy for me to judge Kawi but how he felt and acted were justified because he had always believed himself to be straight. So the sprinkle of angst was unavoidable but it made them getting together that much sweeter. Kawi's character growth was immense and he's a completely different person at the end compared to the 1st episode which is a good thing. The happy ending was good too.

Be My Favorite is what I look from a series, character development. Not everyone has given a second chance and in my opinion, Bodkawi did an amazing job using those chances to be better. At first, Bodkawi is an unlikable character, but his development throughout this series really paid off that makes you root for him whoever he ends up with. He's a relatable character and you could understand his choices from start to finish of the series. Then for Pisaeng, he's troubled about his identity but he is aware of his feelings. Pisaeng is a very thoughtful person and a very lovable character. For me this series is a hidden gem and I hope more people could see Be My Favorite.
