Brotherhoods galore

I had tired of watching overly heavy themes and wanted something for a casual watch -- so what better than a young and good-looking cast that emphasizes on brotherhood to fulfill this? Of course, because of what it is, I also highly expected to drop this relatively quickly. But the fact that while this isn't a particularly sophisticated crew of actors and the dialogue is rudimentary, it still turned out to be unexpectedly entertaining.

It truly is a series that revolves around many brotherhoods and thankfully does not include sappy romances. Although the direction of the plot and dialogue were underdeveloped and oversimplified, the plot flow was actually done quite well. Enough to keep me interested in heading toward the next episode, kept me rooting for the different bonds, and even had me shed some tears. Don't be fooled by the initial episodes of charm because it does start to twist into an unexpected and darker direction which gives it more flavor than others of a similar plot base.

While this isn't a masterpiece and there are the usual number of flaws, it still deserves kudos for being able to maintain its direction and for still being able to paint the story well enough. I would recommend for those who particularly enjoy brotherhood bonds and I'm quite surprised that at the time of my review in May 2026, there's only four other reviews. Compared to some other newer series that I've dropped, this would make this one pretty underrated.
