We Are (2024)

Reseña sencilla

La serie en si es una green flag la mayor parte del tiempo a excepción de algunos momentos pero son pocos, la historia si es bastante sencilla, básicamente de chavos en días de universidad donde nos muestran su amistad (que la vd de las mejores amistades de grupito que he visto), el como se dejan llevar por las emociones, como poco a poco también se van enamorando y dándose cuenta/aceptando sus sentimientos además quiero resaltar que estos weyes como que si escucharon la canción de Tokischa pq como aplican la de las amigas (en este caso amigos) que se besan son la mejor compañía y alch ps eso es bueno pq habla de la muchísima confianza que se tienen, en si todos los personajes son increíbles, cada uno tiene su personalidad de tal manera que lo hace único en la serie pero quiero hablar de las parejitas (quiero decir que yo vi esta serie por el pondphuwin que ya los conocía por Never Let Me Go y a los demás creo que no los conocía) pero tengo que decir que mi pareja favorita aqui fue la de Tan y Fang (AouBoom) siento que esta pareja es la mas green flag que hay, neta son el estándar se llevan super bonito y se tratan tmb bien bonito ambos muestran preocupación el uno por el otro neta que sus escenas son demasiado hermosas y yo se que maybe a Fang le pudo haber faltado expresarse un poquito mas (pq hasta sus amigos se lo dicen) pero wey asi es su actitud y en los momentos donde lo demuestra deja muy en claro que si lo ama y Tan es esa persona que quiere que todo el mundo sepa que Fan es suyo y que lo ama con locura y pasión y nomas por eso siento que se complementan a la perfección, después tenemos la pareja de Phum y Peem que si bien no tuvieron el mejor comienzo y además mis amigos parece que escuchaban la canción a cada rato pq se comían a cada rato sin ser pareja creo que se comieron mas siendo amigos que siendo pareja JAJAJ, pero bueno siento que nos muestran mas de ellos y en si vemos de mejor manera reflejada los sentimientos que se tienen entre si, me castraba un poquito que se veia demasiada la tensión entre estos y el Peem que fue el que dio el 1er beso según yo se me hizo bien dificilito con el Phum tmb me hubiera gustado ver alguna vez a Peem equivocándose y pidiendo perdon pq en toda la serie fue Phum es que se disculpaba por las cosas que pasaban que si bien se podria decir que era su "culpa" ps hicieron ver que Peem nunca se equivocaba, en si me encanto la pareja pero en 1ros capitulos como que nomas me molestaba poquito (y ni se hable de los caps del campamento) como que ya conecte con ellos bien bien cuando a partir de a mediados de la serie para mi su mejor momento o mi momento fav es cuando Peem le dice a Phum "gracias por nacer para poder amarte" nmms en ese momento me dio tanto sentimiento y los ame, y hablando de parejas con la que no pude conectar al principio tenemos a la pareja de Q Y Toey (WinnySatang) mas que nada por culpa de Q, si bien siento que si trataba bien a Toey se me cayo demasiado el Q en el cap 7 mas en si la discusión me dio muchísima pena por Toey como empieza a llorar y Q ni siquiera deja que le explique y lo peor de todo es que estaban todos los amigos ahi presentes y lo puedo entender hasta cierto punto pero tmb que todos tuvieran que hacer el plan para que Q se diera cuenta de sus sentimientos ps casi casi se lo dieron en bandeja de plata, entonces es un personaje al que le gane coraje y que me costo perdonar, Toey es un amor con patas que se merece lo mas bonito, el throwback de ellos esta bien bonito eso del chico del batido y el chico del lapiz (milk frappe boy and pencil senior) no estoy seguro como seria la traducción en si, toda esa historia es super bonita desde como comenzó y ps como llego a su final y fue de las cosas que me hizo perdonar a Q, después esta la pareja Chain y Pun (MarcPoon) que de ellos en si no tengo mucho que decir pq ps fue la pareja a la que menos le dieron tiempo en pantalla y que mas se tardo en dar pero en un friend to lovers muy bonito pq ps como que ambos saben que se aman (mas Chain) pero como que ninguno da el paso hasta el ultimo cap y GOOD escena su beso ps fue un beso que para mi estuvo mezclado de muchas emociones y lo dejan muy bien reflejado, por ultimo quiero hacer mención a Mick, Matt y Beer que ps si la ultima pareja no tuvo mucho tiempo en pantalla ps menos ellos 3 (aunque en algunas escenas se nos da a entender que puede haber o al menos se puede dar algo entre ellos a futuro (Mick y Matt) pobre Berr a ese si me lo dejaron solito) pq ellos están como support en el grupo básicamente como que existen y tienen sus momentos donde resaltan pero me cayeron muy bien y merecían mas (pero entiendo que tampoco se podía) tenían que lidiar con desarrollar 4 parejas y darnos momentos de ellos que ps dar mas pantalla a personajes que no estaba como claro su objetivo ps no se iba a hacer, aprovecho para hablar de Kluen neta qpd con este personaje se me hizo de lo mas innecesario neta bien nefastito el niño, es que wey lo viste 2 veces (Phuwin) antes de ir al campamento y resulta que te mueve el tapete cañón y los vas a perseguir, me molesta mucho y se que su personaje es ese personaje que su único propósito es hacer un "conflicto" en los personajes como para que se den cuenta de lo que sienten lo que hace que se vuelva un triangulo amoroso pero que sabemos que no se va a quedar con el, pero los caps que sale como cuchillito de palo, parece que se vistió de abejita pq nomas sale y esta chingue y chingue y lo peor de todo es que ese es su único papel pq ps cuando se da cuenta que nomas no deja de salir osea nos dan a entender que como que nunca fue parte del grupito y tipo como nos presentas un personaje para después sacarlo como si nada que digo agradezco eso pero aja, ya por ultimo me hubiera gustado ver mas cosas como el pasado de Phum cuando lo mandan al extranjero y se nos dice que Tang su hermano le marcaba cada día para que no se sintiera solo y esto también va de la mano con que me hubiera gustado ver mas de su relación como hermanos pq si bien se ve, se demuestra que se llevan a todo dar, me falto ver mas de ellos tmb un poquito mas de Peem y de sus pinturas tipo todo lo que buscaba expresar y asi entre otras cosas pero siento que ya me mame mucho escribiendo, en conclusión si quieres una serie llena de drama, peleas y momentos toxicones ps esta no es una serie para ti, en cambio si quieres una serie bonita de principio a fin con sus toques de problemas pero que no escalan bastante llena de amor del bueno (puro y bonito) ps definitivamente dale una oportunidad:)

Just love, nothing more yet nothing less

This series is a mixed feeling between old series and new ones. As for the story, is just a group of friends who find love and friendship at university age. Nothing more, yet nothing less.

I couldn’t understand why GMMTV —after creating so many masterpieces this year— decided to go on an old way to make the series. They added too much sounds for reactions, making it unrealistic and unserious. They made so many “jokes” they weren’t necessary just not to make it serious when it needed some silence. I don’t know why, it just felt like the early years of BLs.

The story itself was just so easy, as the main character started finding each other and developed feelings for the other. So I’m gonna start with the couples.

As you can clearly see, the real main couples —even if they all are shown as main— are PhumPeem and QToey, even if my favourite couple from this series was TanFang.

As for PhumPeem, I’m gonna say that I couldn’t really feel the chemistry between them, and that even if they had some good scenes, for me, some seemed like forced and fake. The beginning of their story about the slave and all that stuff was so outdated, but at least I felt that they did well with the development of their feelings for each other…, even if sometimes I couldn’t buy it. Not talking about the kisses, ‘cause Phuwin didn’t want to open his mouth, so I couldn’t really be into the scene whenever it came. Even so, they were cute and I’ll always love them because of Fish Upon The Sky and Never Let Me Go.

About QToey, I would say that their couple promised so much and I really liked the idea about the post-its and how they fall in love through letters. The only missing thing —again— is the seriousness we needed between each other. Because they were so cute and good together, but then, after saying a beautiful phrase, they had to start chasing each other or running away “joking” and doing stupid stuff.

As for TanFang, my favourite couple of the series, is a unique kind of couple in BL series, as one of them is so obvious showing his love (which is usual), but the other one is so freaking in love with him too and smiles at him with adoration and cuteness, seeing his baby’s love so brightly. I also loved that they weren't like the classic “top and bottom” (which I dislike) and when you see the “NC scenes” you cannot really tell who does what… Also the kisses where in another level from the rest of the couples from this series. I loved that even if Tan’s character was so playful and carefree, he also knew how to get not serious but helpful and caring whenever the situation required it. He was my favourite character so far and I really found in him the man I want in my life.

Soooo as for the last couple (sorry they deserve that name as their story started in the last episode 5555). ChainPun for me, was the couple I didn’t really saw together at first, as maybe they were just playing around… after seeing Pun that (sorry) stupid in the first episodes…?? I don’t know why, his character developed so much… I think, and I started to like them together. But the only real thing that I liked from them was their final kiss. THAT’S THE KISS ALL THE COUPLES SHOULD HAVE HAD!!! Thank God we had at least one. They did so well, I laughed and smiled equally as I saw them kiss and their friends’ reaction.

As for the rest of the series, I would say that I expected more change between Phum and his father as Peem asked him for it, but I guess they did well as not everything and every change happens that fast. I liked they showed it as an important thing and as an effort Phum made. My baby did so well.

Things to highlight from these would be Aou’s acting. It felt so natural, even if it was all so overacted, it was part of the play and it looked great, just as you know how he can make a serious one… I love him so much.

So… this series was just cute, full of (gay) love (as they all are gay???? What the heck bro??? 5555) but just fine, easy, without heartbreaks or broke ups or depression… It is good to find this things sometimes if you want so smile.

Cute story with healthy relationships

I found this series really refreshing. No toxicity, little drama, and overall great, healthy relationships between both friends and couples; though a bit of unnecessary, cliché misunderstandings that made me want to hit peem and phum. But they talked and sorted it out within the episode so I think it's relatively forgiveable. I really enjoyed the series; however, I think it really depends on the person for how much someone else may like it.

Things I liked:
-The relationships: for friendship being the main point of the show, I think they did an absolutely amazing job with developing them. It genuinely seemed like everybody loved and felt safe with each other. Their friendships felt so real, like I was genuinely just watching 5 (or technically 11 by the end) friends go through university and fall in love. You can tell they support and care for one another. I like how the characters loved each other for themselves and never once asked their friends or S/O to change, and rather encouraged them to be themselves.
-Chemistry: I could absolutely feel the chemistry between the 4 couples, both before and after they confessed. Kinda similar to the friendships, but you could really tell that the couples genuinely liked one another. Even their "intimate" scenes seemed like real love rather than acting or lust.
-Acting: A little controversial as many people seem to disagree, but I think the cast was perfect for this show. The actors gave what their characters required of them and really brought them to life. Additionally, I think they made them feel real, as they act almost exactly like how I act with my own friends and people I feel comfortable with.
-Length: There was SO much content in the series, being 16 episodes, 45-60 minutes each, that I feel like there was nothing more you can ask for, unlike a lot of shows. I feel like it allowed for couples and characters to be fleshed out as they were supposed to and left no questions for the viewers.

Things I didn’t like:
-Length: It being so long was both a blessing and a curse. While there was so much fluffy content, a lot of it was technically unnecessary, and as much as I hate to admit it, I sped it up several times to get past some filler parts. I feel like they could've gotten the point across in 8, MAYBE 10 at the most, episodes, but then again, I did enjoy watching all the scenes.
-Cheek kisses?: I understand kissing your boyfriend on the cheek here and there as a cute, endearing thing, but 3/4 couples were always doing it and it's so odd. It was like watching middle schoolers who were too afraid to actually kiss. And if it was for privacy reasons, such as they were around a whole bunch of people, I understand, but even so, just a short peck on the lips or something would have just as much decorum as a cheek kiss, so it just felt unnatural.
Singing?: I don’t mind singing in dramas such as in like My School President where it makes sense, but there were several scenes where Q would pick up the guitar and I would just have to put it in x2 speed because it was unnecessary and almost cringey. Around a campfire or for an event, thats fine, expect even, but in the middle of a cafe? Cmon, now you're just pulling my leg.

Overall: I think it was a good show. If you just wanna watch something cute without a whole bunch of headaches and toxicity, then this is the show for you. There's 4 couples to root for and enjoy as well as an adorable friend grouo to follow. It's not complicated to watch, as everything is really laid out for you. I'd say it's a good show to take bites out of while watching another show, especially a heavier one, to take a break or lighten the mood, rather than a show to sit down and binge in a day as it can get boring in one large sitting.

Watch this at least once!!

I have to start by saying that this was a story with a different dynamic even though it looks like a typical university thai bl drama. All the actors were soo good, especially Pond and Phuwin because I love them! The part that I like most about this drama is the comedy. The sound effects makes it even more funnier!! The storyline was simple, not complex or confusing at all. I also love how this drama is friendship oriented and how it shows the brotherly love between all the friends. The drama kept me a hook every Wednesday and was worth watching every episode because each eposide had its own highlight. Unlike a typical university bl , 'We are' felt different because of the acting and the storyline. Between the story the unexpected kissing scenes were sooo gooddd.. I feel like the actors did their best and the chemistry between the couples were good. Although I still think that they could have added more kissing scenes! LOL .

Overall the drama is good, not the best but still good and simple. Feels more like a friendship based story and the comedy is soo good. Watching this drama is worth it!

Still waiting to see how this ends

This show had so much potential and it still does maybe but... this show has too many leads, I high key wish it wasn't so focused on everyone. Idk why I didn't expect it to be this way when the description legit states a group of friends. They need to add the tags for multiple leads & multiple couples, I wish Pond and Phuwin had their own show, I found myself skipping most of the other couples/other leads most of the time. I really want to see Phum and Peem's characters romance develop more but they haven't had the chance to due to the group aspect of the story this show was written in. I hope in the future Pond and Phuwin get their own show without focusing on to many leads taking away from the story in my opinion. I will keep watching until the series ends and I will update this. As for right now, the show is dragging along with character/relationship development.

All comfort, no hurt

There is not much depth in this show, no fancy plotlines or heavy drama but there doesn't really need to be, this show is a good portrayal of healthy friendships and I think that is what makes it special far more than the 'bl' part of it.

Ngl I started off this show not caring about PhumPeem bc I'm not a particular fan of PondPhuwins acting skills but they grew on me, I think they benefited from not having heavy plotlines bc I'm not really sure if their acting skills could handle it.. the push-and-pull vibes in their relationship reminded me of my own college days and I like how they communicate, so it was fun to watch ❤️

I love love love Tan&Fang, every time they're on screen I wish they had more time, I would've loved to see more depth in their relationship. Fang is more of an introvert but he's sooo funny and he really tries to come out of his shell when he's with Tan. Also, Tan is like the glue that holds the group together and I really love him for that. Even though he acts a bit over the top, it fits his character and makes me appreciate him more ❤️ I also think AouBoom is an underrated ship (@gmmtv give them their own show NOW) and cannot wait for more of them in the future ❤️❤️

QToey I have a bit of a love-hate relationship, they have their cute moments and I really like WinnySatang, I also think Satang is a great actor but his character here is too childish for me personally as a 25yo, it gets a bit uncomfortable to watch at times I would've liked to see more serious scenes between the two of them, the whole cutesy, giggly and childish relationship doesn't do it for me, tbh they're my least favorite couple in the show even though I really like the actors

LASTLY ChainPun deserved more 😭😭 I could write an essay about how much I wish they got more screentime, I think the chemistry is there, and they have such beautiful subtle moments between them but there's just too little time to develop it, I know it's probably bc of the actor switch as well but it sucks that they only get crumbs. I've seen people comment on their acting skills but I don't think I can judge it fairly, we've just seen too little of them for me to have an opinion on it.

All in all, I liked this show, it had great moments. I absolutely love the scenery and the way they talk about their feelings between couples and between friends. I'll be sad to see it go after next wednesday, it was very comforting to watch and it made me really happy. It's not perfect but I don't think they intended that. It portrays the beauty of friendship and found family and I love it for that.

If you're looking for a show filled with drama/angst/ heavy plot-based I'd say this show is not for you, but if you need a break that feels like a long 16-hour hug, this is the one for you.

Outline of a Review here.

Plot: This is a feel-good story and I'm all for it. We all need something sweet & nice in our life.

Character(s): All of them are well balanced.
A mix of sweetness, comic timing, romantic, quirky and well built.


Acting: The chemistry between the couple's that have been formed till EP15 is really commendable.


To Be Continued.........


**Special Shout Out to Pond Naravit!**
They have, in my opinion, mastered the art of showing emotions brilliantly. Idk if it's the result of immense practice, method acting, skill or just straight-up talent from within but the way they have grown in their career so far is as 'aged like a fine wine' as it gets.

✔️Poom's birthday scene specifically where Peem leans in to kiss him after gifting him the flowers made me want to write this down so I don't forget to add this to my review, once the series is finished.
Closing your eyes while kissing is basic knowledge but there is this feeling one gets when they kiss their partner in the beginning of the relationship, the 'honeymoon phase' if you will. You get butterflies and when your lips touch, this overwhelming, butterflies in the stomach, the tension in the pit of your stomach, everything. And the need to just give in to your partner's embrace.

That face, as soon as their lips meet in the scene is everything I needed. I mean i don't generally feel the need to pause an episode I've been eagerly waiting for to write down stupid sh!t. This scene gave me goosebumps and there's a very valid reason why.

The exact moment is around 33:13 minutes into the series. Y'all NEED to check this exact moment out when they kiss, Pond's eyelids drop and close and goddamnit! They are good. 🖤




Bits I Hated (bit strong), Disliked:
The family reconciliation bit is so overrated in any genre. (EP15)

Whenever it's a kid that doesn't want to talk to their parent(s), we always hear everyone say -

"Oh but they're your parents."
"It's a shame for you not be talking to them."
"They are older. They have a right."
"Parents make mistakes."
"Taking care of them is your duty since they raised you."

Why is it that a child has to carry the burden of making up with the family or elders? Why not for a change an elder accepts their fault in any situation? If a child doesn't feel like they can get over something a parent did, when the child is a grown up, I don't see the need for them to reconcile. They are an adult and they can make their own decisions. If someone makes them feel bad about themselves, they have the right to not keep them in their life. I absolutely hate when this topic is discussed in a TV show or movie saying how the child should reconsider or give the parent a second chance.

Life is short, if we start giving second chances to everybody that did us wrong, a 20 something kid would have no life left to give those chances.

In my opinion, Phum doesn't need to talk to his father who seems be always makes snarky comments towards him. That in itself shouldn't be tolerated. I'd speak up, give them a dose of their own medicine. It's good enough he didn't talk back too much, there's absolutely zero need for Phum to reconcile if the idea was put in his mind by Peem, instead of it being Phum's choice and decision.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!

When I realised that ppl are being unnecessarily harsh on this series, was when I decided to write my 1st ever review.
This series is like home for me. The soft tones, smiles and healthy friendship feel so wistful to look at! Like being together with your friends through highscl and college is a feat, and that is commendable.

THE RELATIONS ARE SO DAMN HEALTHY! I kid you not, when ppl romanticise lying (even 'forced-to-do-no-other-choice) I feel disgusted. This show addressed that. The playfulness, the comfort and the beauty of the relations portrayed was commendable.
We had 3 different tropes - Enemies to lovers, Friends to lovers, Secret crush! And although one of the couple was rushed, the other three had pretty good pacing with interesting storylines.

My favourite was TanFang, BUT my 'the comfort ship' was PhumPeem. They just have a special charm of their own! So glad AouBoom get recognition for their roles finally! PondPhuwin were stellar just like in NLMG (despite the difference in characters)
I found 'Milk Frappe Boy' and 'Pencil Senior' a bit overused, and QToey's plot was unnecessarily dragged out but the initial stages were extremely cute.
ChainPun was sort of scattered all over the place but I desperately wanted more time for those cuties! Ooooof, Pun is a Cupid but he has no idea Chain's flirting w him T_T! It was torturous (in a good way) to watch Chain try to flirt with that baby!!
Definitely reccomended (I can't spell it) if you want to squeal and blush for 800 mins

PS. Going to miss "Teerak narakaa", "Ku chhob penguin" and "Mah Phum" soooo damn much!
