New comfort series unlocked
I think this is the first time I’ve been genuinely sad once a series has finished airing. I can’t even explain it, I just find this series very comforting and nostalgic. From the casting to the friendships and all the blossoming relationships, I really looked forward to Wednesdays and will miss it. There are not many series I would rewatch, but this I would. A simple storyline without too many complications or misunderstandings. My favourite cast of all time I think, the GMMTV boys really lucked out with such a great circle of actors.Was this review helpful to you?
Worth it... I literally skip my sleep to watch this
So basically, I don't know why people don't like it, but for me, it's the best drama of 2024. Chemistry, comedy, music everything is perfect for me. I especially love Pondphuwin's chemistry. The music of this series is my ringtone. So I'm in love with this series and already watched it 3 times.I gave it a try yourself. Don't go for a review because everyone has different tastes.

Stands out among its oversaturated trope and plot!
Squad, school, university, and friendship, these are the common formulas when creating this kind of common and oversaturated type of series. However, it does not diminish the entertainment, comedic, and fan-service value "We Are" has brought us.It does not require a thinking hat to fully understand what the series wants to portray. Despite its lack of substance and "importance", it was executed well to bring entertainment and fan service to each of us, and I think that's what this series wanted to establish and portray, and it's effective. Personally, it seems that "We Are" is a series that was made to compile fan services of each actor and CP here and present it to their fans HAHAHA.
Positive
1. PondPhuwin presents a different dynamic of their chemistry from their other series, especially Phuwin; however, Pond's role here seems a bit consistent with his previous roles, especially with "Fish Upon the Sky (FUTS)" as Mork. Despite these personal concerns, it does not diminish how they portrayed their relationship and the personality of their characters here. It was also refreshing to see that there were times when their relationship was laid back or lowkey among the other couples in the series. It was a cute way to give way to other couples, such as...
2. WinnySatang! They are incredible in this series, especially Satang. The last time I saw them was in "My School President (MSP)" and FUTS, and this series fortified how versatile they are as an actor. A personal concern of mine was that I could not let go of SoundWin, thus I want SatangWinny more huhuhu.
3. Each character has a distinct and entertaining personalities that complement well with their partner well. AouBoom and MarcPoon are two of these examples, and they're fun to watch.
4. Their friendship was solid and one of the few friendships that is enjoyable to watch.
Negative (As someone who wants a richer/unique story/plot):
1. No plot and path at all HAHAHAHA, which is okay for me since the premise presented itself that "it's not that serious". They are just a silly group of friends that happened to love each other.
2. It's too long to the point that I've pressed 1.5x speed so that I can watch the next series in my watchlist.
3. Unserious and sudden arrival of conflicts with no foundation or build-up at all (Kluen and Phum's family). I think it would be preferable if the conflict were purely a misunderstanding or a strain in their relationship. Another one is between Q and Toey. I was gagged when they both went into a sudden heated argument; however, Satang gave us a good scene there. It would be nicer if they gave us first a glimpse of Toey and Q's backstory.
4. Marc and Poon as our underrated couple. Personally, their characters individually and dynamic together are far more unique and interesting among the couples here. It's awkward to watch how the production forced their interaction just to "justify" their status as one of the couples in the series. However, their scene in the last episode was so funny since their first kiss was awkward, but their second kiss saved it; they have so much potential, and I hate how the production treated them.
5. In relation to my previous point, there are 16 episodes, and it would be so much better if these episodes were managed carefully to flesh out each character's progression in their relationship, especially since Pun is my favorite character hehehe.
I saw a lot of negative reviews here in MDL, and I understand each of the sentiments HAHAHAHA. However, from the premise itself, I think it's already established that it would be an unserious series. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining series and I treated it as a series that is for the fans of each couple here. I will highly recommend that you watch this as your first/early BL series since you would get bored with it if you've already watched this type of trope and plot, or if you're longing for a unique and fruitful series, since this one is not HAHAHA.

If I squealed at least once, it’s a good one
This is definitely not a fast paced series and I loved it, reminded me of the slice of life anime I used to watch!Loved the friendships and the way the relationships progressed slowly. It showed appropriate miscommunication and relationships when in college.
If looking for steamy watch, this is not it, but if you miss those high school series kisses then it is perfect.
I am a sucker for happy endings full of sugar so I wish they would show a special episode from many years later. Showing their friendship and relationships.

A feel good show
I have mixed feelings about the show. Some parts I LOVED it while some scenes fell flat. It was a character driven story with very minimal character development and plot however the acting, script, jokes and great showcase of friendship made it enjoyable.The plot was simple and basic. No twists, no toxicity, just story about a pretty big group of friends. What I loved his the showcase of the bond. It felt very real as if I was watching the a video journal of a group of friends in their university time. However the biggest drawback would be how there's little to no plot and barely any character development. So when the group is not together and we get scenes with the couples it falls flat. It was cute but that was all it was. I wish it was explored on the character development side.
Cinematography was fantastic. I think this is what helped make this a slice of life comfort show. They successfully captured all the moments of the university life and friendship. The little jokes and the dumbest moves of a group boys is kind of fun to see.
Acting wise they all truly captured the essence of their individual characters well, especially Phuwin who I never thought would do good in comedy but I think this is by far his best acted show yet. The rest of the cast were absolute pleasure to watch. Satang as Toey was surprised me in the best possible way. They truly felt like a group of friends.
It's a show you need to watch with breaks. 2 episode a day while having meals is the perfect way if you want to just relax while watching something. It did gave me moments of comfort and overall it's a nice show.

I will absolutely miss everyone
"We Are คือเรารักกัน (We Are, Just Love)" is a series that feels like a warm hug, quickly becoming one of my current favorites. Saying goodbye to it leaves me with a such an empty feeling as if parting with long-time friends. The plot primarily revolves around Peem and Phum's journey from enemies to lovers, while also exploring the lives of other characters like Q and Toey, Fang and Tan, and many more. Set against the backdrop of college life, it beautifully captures the essence of growing friendships in college.The simplicity of the series is its charm making it easy to fall in love with every character. The acting performances are commendable across the board, each actor bringing authenticity to their role and they truly imbodied their characters. Every episode leaves you satisfied yet craving more.
The stylistic choices of the show, including cinematography, pacing, and script, are particularly enjoyable. The cinematography captures the youthful spirit of the characters and their surroundings, while the pacing keeps the story engaging without rushing important moments. The script is heartfelt and genuine, adding depth to the characters' relationships and emotions.
Overall, 'We Are คือเรารักกัน' is a feel-good series that induces giddiness and warmth. It's a delightful blend of romance, friendship, and the trials of young adulthood, leaving a lasting kinda nostalgic impression . Highly recommended for anyone looking to be swept away by a series that feels like a comforting embrace without any stress other than friends being idiots.

Therapy At Its Best
if you're looking for a show that will catch you by the most pleasant surprises in every single episode, a show that will make you yearn for friendship and love, a show to make you laugh and make you moist-eyed- THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU.A very simple story of true friendship, the best friendship in fact, ive ever seen in a BL. A show with all sorts of love- platonic, romantic, brotherly, admirational- at its core.
Every single dynamic of the lovely couples is so so unique and cherished, but the friendship every one of them finds in each other is never once left behind. every character is valued, even if they are a supporting character.
the humor is peak thai bl jokes mixed with the progress that the industry has shown in the past few years. the music is definitely suiting to each couple. the cinematography, even if a bit choppy, is delightful and easy.
everything is valued, everything is cherished, and everything is in place. the actors have done a phenomenal job. while i cannot stop gushing about everyone, I feel like Poon Mit deserves a standing ovation for joining in mid shooting, developing amazing chemistry with a complete stranger, and with the rest of the cast. i cannot believe anyone else could've pulled Pun's character off as well as Poon did. while i have seen most of the other cast members in other shows, i truly believe this was their best work by far. each character is my true favourite, and shall remain so for a very long time.
i love this show very much, and i have seen many people do the same. i dont know what it would feel like watching it for the first time after it has aired, but the anticipation i had felt waiting for every wednesday was a feeling that begun to feel like home.

Uni live
We are tells story of how a group of friends life in university, the challenge in fine arts major. And a sprinkle of romance here and there.The chemistry, none.
The directing, I love the sweet moment, the kiss that always in slo-mo, so that's a plus for me because I'm a sucker for the sweet moments created by the director.
The acting, so-so
The drama though, no direction whatsoever. They get together and the last few episodes is only this group of friends having fun. That's it.
Give this a go, or don't.

I’m going to miss this show…
This show literally became my comfort show as I returned every Wednesday to watch the next episode.At first I was very skeptical of this series, especially due to the fact that I initially thought there were too many couples, so I was like ‘there’s no way I’m gonna watch this!”…
Despite having multiple couples this show probably does one of the best jobs I’ve ever seen of giving pretty balanced screen time to the characters. I never felt as though there weren’t enough scenes with the more main couples and I never got bored of watching the side couple interactions.
Honestly, AouBoom stole the show for me! I just love their dynamic so much and I can’t even explain it (they need their own drama rn!). I think all of the actors did a great job with this series! There wasn’t a single couple that I didn’t like!
The plot itself wasn’t exactly very deep when it comes to the series, however there were other elements that made up for it. For me to have watched this entire thing through without taking any long breaks goes to show that it really was such a sweet series.
Also the friendship- I just love the fun atmosphere of the group of actors as they portray such a big group of friends. It makes me also want to have fun like they do!
Idk if school dramas are really my thing, but this show was certainly different. It kinda reminds me of the old bl series in a way I can’t quite explain. Either way, I’m really gonna miss this series 😭😭😭

We Are reviewing
I can’t tell you the last time I looked forward to a show every week like I did for this one. I love a good enemies to lovers story line and THERES TWO OF THEM in one show! and this one was done wonderfully. Takes place in a college setting while juggling school, work, family and love.Fun fact: there was no episode 11 curses! Not even at episode 15 of 16 which is
Everything took its time (the pacing is definitely on the slow side, but stick with it!) and eventually came to an end by wonderfully expressing 4 distinctly different relationships.
My personal favorite was Tan and Fang. I loved their relationship starting as enemies and growing up together building closeness. even the way they felt about one another and how that was portrayed was so touching. Big praise to Aou and Boom for their performances. I giggled, laughed and gasped happily watching them in this series. They carried the show in every aspect. I hope they get their own series together. Im a new fan of theirs from this show.
Also stand out scene for me was Toey! when Q discovered Toey was Milk Frappe boy. Maaaannn! When I tell you that scene was so well done. 😭😭 I cried. When Toey screamed out for Q, I felt it. SUPER proud of Satang for that vulnerable and emotional performance. It was wonderful to see it.
Phum is annoyingly hot and he knows it. Peem is annoyingly hot and he also knows it.
That scene when peem comes out of class and phum meets him and asks if he is okay because peem seemed down. The way peem leaned into phums palm that held his face while phum pinched his cheek! I was stuck there for 20 mins. He looked so cute.
I feel like this show will end up being my comfort show, one that is fun easy watching and sweet.

Comfort Drama ❤️
So if you are wanting something thrilling or some strong plot based drama then this is not for you. This Drama is based on true friendship and cute love stories. Where Tan ( P'Aou ) was the main bridge of two friendship groups and I feel he was the main person who held all the people together.If you are having a bad mood, just run to this drama ... this will surely make you feel better, light weighted.... I loved all the 4 couples and the other supporting cast too but Tan-Fang (P'Aou - P'Boom) were just the heart of the drama [ according to me ] Phum - Pheem ( P'Pond - P'Phuwin ) were really adorable, Q - Toey ( P'Winny and P'Satang ) were also good but after their story started to move forward i felt kinda boring in some parts, Chain - Pun ( P'Marc - P' Poon ) bro Pun took 16 whole episodes to realise that Chain was in love with him 😂.Well although Tan - Fang are one of the main leads but i feel somehow they ( makers ) faild to give them the main lead spot light in the drama. They should get more recognition. After all the struggle these years they are having 2 Dramas as main leads I am so excited for them .... ❤️
Well this is my comfort drama for last 2 years so... Enjoy watching... ✌️
