Looks like American sitcoms

So far I liked this show, it reminds me those American sitcoms with many characters and comedy. I like the idea of long BL series as far as they interesting and entertaining. Looking forward for more episodes, hope they’ll keep the mark high.
1. Love my PondPhuwin, their chemistry is on high level as always.
2. WinnySatang were fire couple in MSP, they have potential to become bigger, hope this show make them more popular.
3. AouBoom: I saw these guys in Vice Versa and Hideen Agenda and they were cute, so i wish them more fame and higher popularity.
4. MarcPoon: I liked Marc in Dangerous Romance and it’s sucks that he had to change partner so suddenly, but I hope that he’ll have a good chemistry with Poon. Wish them luck!

Looking forward for new episodes!

I am sorry to say this....

I'm not sure if I will rate this series with stars. I think that the stars will appear sooner or later, but at this moment I want to express my opinion in words, because the stars do not seem to me to be something adequate for my opinion that I want to share with you.

I watched it from the very beginning, which means I waited for a new episode every week. Amazing actors, catchy trailer, 16 episodes... I was really looking forward to it. I convinced a friend to watch it with me because after the third episode I figured I'd need someone to talk to about it. We'd sent each other edits, theories and various other nonsense and we would melt together over all the characters.

Please note that I will not avoid spoilers in this review. I want to write what I really think and it won't be possible without spoilers. A few minutes back, my pen pal friend asked me how many points out of 10 I would give it. Honestly? I don't want to answer, but it would be 6.5. You can't even imagine how much I regret writing something like this about We are.
The beginning:

It started perfectly. The first episodes and actually the entire first half were carried in such a relaxed and cute spirit. We got to know the characters, their behaiour, the dynamics of the entire friends group and we could get to know the couples and choose which one we fan the most. Naturally, everyone. No triangle, no unnecessary drama. We are talking about the first half. Only in the Thai BL it is possible that five couples can be formed in a party of ten friends, but I don't intend to dwell on that.

The lead couple, Phum and Peem, played by Pond and Phuwin, were starring. Their chemistry is incredible, and even though many people complain that Phuwin dseems uncomfortable when it comes to kissing with Pond, I felt the whole time that it wasn't Phuwin, but Peem, who wasn't sure. Do you understand? A character, not an actor. When they were on the screen, everything else fell by the wayside. How can someone be so sweet? As with them, I last melted a year and a half ago at MSP.

But here I come to a stumbling block. Everything I wrote so far applied to the first half. Phum and Peem did not have a nice first meeting, but mutual feelings found their way to each other very quickly. After so many wonderful scenes, kisses, looks, consoling, supporting, cheering and other things… After all this, how could Peem be so surprised when Phum said he liked him? Why did he even say he liked him? We all know that by this time he had long since loved him. Why did Peem decide to play hard to get with the words: "Try to win my heart then," when an episode earlier he said: "Haven't I fallen for you enough already?" Why did they suddenly have trouble kissing each other on the cheek when they used to kiss each other casually on the lips?

TanFang. I somehow suspected that these two would steal my attention. I loved Tan from the first scene and couldn't wait to see how his relationship with Fang would develop. Unlike the others, these were not playing for anything. All the drama between them happened before the series started and we were introduced to them shortly before they started dating. I once came across a comment in which someone commented that if everyone had Tan's courage and Fang's promptness, the series would have ended on the fifth episode. I am not the author of this statement, but I agree with it wholeheartedly.

When they got together, I expected some drama. After all, they were friends and suddenly they are in a relationship, which are two things that absolutely cannot be compared. I expected the creators to show us how these absolute opposites can work together. Nothing. I know that opposites attract, but these two are extreme and I would really like to know how their relationship actually works. Because the vast majority of their scenes are based on the fact that Tan is too clingy and Fang should be happy, but to me personally it felt like Tan was getting on his nerves and Fang didn't know how to send him somewhere. Yes, I am one of those who initially claimed that Fang shows no effort in the relationship with Tan, and that it is all built on the other half. In time, it became clear that Fang was also interested, but by that time we had passed our youth. Their whole relationship seemed toxic to me. I don't know how to explain it, but they just haven't sent me home for a long time. At first yes, then no and then again yes and no again. Fang recovered and I felt like popping the champagne. The spaghetti scene made me sit on my ass, and it was only at that moment that I recognized that the effort was also on Fang's part. But the problem came when Fang cried in front of Tan. Our princess Fang, cried in front of Tan. And Tan's reaction? Typical Tan. Haha hihi, cmon babe, don't cry, you're so cute... For real? This was a situation that clearly required Tan's seriousness. I know that he probably doesn't even know such a word, but this situation was crying out for it. Literally and to the letter. Tan should have behaved completely differently. I understand that Fang may have needed Tan's overhyped optimism in the situation, but the situation screamed for the exact opposite. As for their backstory... I would like to see the whole story. How could Fang be a badboy? HOW??? As much as I loved Tan in the beginning, I couldn't stand him in the end.

QToey. I admit, I didn't expect much about their storyline. I know the actors from MSP, where they were overshadowed by the main couple and didn't even attract my attention. But here I perceived them and I must say that their chemistry is breathtaking. Q and Toey also have some past together, after the revelation of which I thought that Toey is a stalker. But I still liked him. Toey is a cutie. I have nothing more to say about them portable. I thought they would interest me the least, but the opposite was true. From the moment things between Phum and Peem stopped making sense, I turned my attention to them. I would also like to add that overall, compared to the other pairs, they bothered me the least.

And finally ChainPun. Somehow I guessed that it would take them the longest and I was right. The last scene of the last episode, exactly as I expected. I'm very glad that they clarified how they feel about each other, but honestly? Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if they stayed on that platonic plane. I'm glad they didn't stay, but it would be interesting to see the exact opposite.

As for the story itself... the four romantic lines fit together perfectly I just remembered Kluen and discovered another stumbling block. I liked him, it was clear from the beginning that he has feelings for Peem, but also accepts Peem's feelings for Phum. So I don't understand the wave of the hate that the followers threw at him. But what pissed me off was that the boy made a drama that wasn't really made by him but by Toey and disappeared. The end could also belong to him and he could be part of the action.

The plot was quite simple. There was practically nothing spectacular going on, although I was expecting a flurry of drama from 16 episodes. Somewhere between the lines, we can find a couple of deep topics, which, however, are nowhere near developed to the extent that they could and should have been. I will use Phum's situation with his father as an example. We know practically nothing about it. They do not have a good relationship and the father sent Phum abroad. Okay, but why did he do that? Why did Phum leave but Fang didn't have to? Why is it that when Phum meets Peem's family, we don't even get a hint of jealousy and envy towards Peem's relationship with his parents?

Already at the beginning of the second half, I noticed that the creators focused on a lot of cute scenes without a deeper meaning. In my eyes, 16 episodes is completely unnecessary. It had potential, there were a lot of things that could have happened, but instead the story dragged and at some points I felt that the editors were not in their right mind while putting this series together, especially during the Phum and Peema scenes.

I'm sorry for all the bad things I said about We are. Unfortunately, that's all I really think. In my opinion, the creators relied on good casting, which ultimately worked for them. If you look on IMDB or MDL, We are has really high ratings. I once led a discussion at MDL, the participants of which agreed that if the cast consisted of rookies or lesser-known faces, the rating would not revolve around an eight, but a six.

It's just wasted potential. I've noticed for a long time that Thai production puts quantity over quality, which doesn't always pay off. We are a success. The vast majority of followers love it and rate it positively. I would very much like to do the same, but I can't.

The positive that We are has brought is that AouBoom has gained a huge fan following and it is believed that they may soon have their own series. After so many supporting roles, it would be about time, wouldn't it?
I know that my words are far from positive, but despite everything I wrote, I recommend watching it. The subject was perfect, the processing itself failed. As if the director, but especially the screenwriter, didn't have time and wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

I believe that I will soon see all the faces again in something new and more meaningful.

Another dump from GMMTV *facepalm*

The only palatable part of this entire show was the healthy friendships within the group and my now new favorite couple Tan- Fang .
I had liked Aou in Be my favorite - He had an amazing support role in that show and a very likeable character .
But now I have become a fan of Boom - throughout the series his acting was measured and appropriate as per the context of the situation - Nothing over the top acting and so on - such a pleasant surprise .
And the Tan - Fang couple dynamics was so grounded that it was refreshing which also credits to the both the actors ability to understand their characters and act accordingly .

The rest of the show was meh - the remainder couples were just copy paste of their previous shows.
Good thing I waited for the whole series to be out to watch it at one go .

Lost Potential.

This series left so much to be desired.
First of all you assemble a cast of decent/competent actors, establish that they are a “friend group” that we will be following through their struggles and daily lives as university students yet this is barely emphasized for all characters involved with exception to Peem and Q. This is not the biggest issue in this show though. One of biggest frustration I had with this show is the non-sensical sequencing of events especially between PhumPeem and QToey…one episode they declare their love to each other then the very next episode they are somehow back to square one. Its like the writers are out of ideas on how to let these dynamics continue to flow/develop so they resort to the lazy “playing hard to get despite their feelings about eachother being known” writing as a “plot” device.
The lost potential here is that with so many different characters introduced in this series there was very little development of a proper plot or themselves. The conflict points were handled badly some even brushed over (like the entire Pheem and his dad conflict arc). Two friend groups (Phum’s and Peem’s) became closer but somehow they couldnt use this as a plot/ conflict point when it comes to establishing relationships? Guess thats issue with ThaiBL fixed ships and the limits to storytelling/diverse acting scenarios that they face.
Now onto the worst thing about this entire the series: the writing, editing, overacting (cant blame the cast working with such a script though) and directing…how am I supposed to believe that these are university students when they act this way? Makes the entire setting non-sensical. Some of the editing is beyond jarring whether its the music score or some of the shot/scene transitions (that PhumPeem bed scene at that hotel randomly cut into a “filler” lunch at the beach scene) made no sense at all. Lastly, the directing…I have my issues with P’New’s works overall especially in how he chooses angles when filming intimate/romantic scenes… to make the actors look so stiff and choreographed must be some talent! And dont get me started on the cliche that is adding in a slow motion effect and the same repetitive ost playing every time the characters or so are about to kiss or be intimate…just too old and not creative.
Just an overall frustrating watching experience for me.

Characters getting on my nerves

The overall plot and storyline was fine, I really enjoyed PondPhuwins story up to the moment they got together. PondPhuwin are a good couple so the chemistry was good, and I liked the way Phum was yearning for peem. However their kissing scenes were just ok.
The main Problem with this drama is, that the friendgroup is not fun and wholesome, but an annoying bunch of kids. They’re just screaming and throwing food all the time, and personally I didn’t like any of them. What’s worse is, all of the sudden there are like 6 couples , none of them are cute or have chemistry, and we don’t get to see much of the main couple anymore. Only Qtoey are kind of sweet.
I guess if you like light-hearted university bls with big friendgroups and no deep meaning or impact its good, i would not rewatch though.

a certified comfort watch

nobody does an ensemble bl like gmmtv. i ADORE this cast and all the couples, they were so sweet and so fun to watch. the best part of this series was the cast and their precious little friend group. i could just tell that they had sooo much fun filming this series, and their happiness was infectious.
there's not a whole lot of plot happening here, but it didn't bother me much. i was more invested in the characters, their friendship, and their dynamics anyway. plot? who cares.
the acting was mediocre at best and pretty awful at worst, much to my dismay, considering that i love all these actors and characters. it wasn't unwatchably bad, but there were definitely some moments of acting so terrible that i was kind of taken out of the viewing experience. i think phuwin particularly gave quite a weak performance when it came to his acting. it's disappointing, because i know phuwin is a very strong actor and a talented person. he had moments where he shone, and peem remained an enjoyable character nonetheless. i do want to give kudos to boom and satang tho, they were absolutely the best actors in this whole cast.
that doesn't mean i loved the rest of the characters any less, tho. this whole crew was so charming. even the characters with less screen time. mick, beer, and matt all still found ways to shine. every character, acting performance aside, was loveable in their own unique ways.
i have one final critique about the chemistry between the couples. this pretty much goes back to my acting comments. phuwin's acting was lacking a bit, and i felt that pond carried the brunt of phumpeem's chemistry. i wouldn't even be complaining about this if i wasn't fully confident that phuwin can give a MUCH stronger performance. i've seen him do it, i know he's capable. i obviously still enjoyed the couple, but i can't help pointing it out. i also had slight qualms with qtoey. i've already praised satang, i think he did really well as toey. winny played q very well as a character, but i didn't find his chemistry with satang to be believable. qtoey overall felt a bit wobbly. they were super cute as a couple and their story was touching, but some of their interactions were plain cringey.
i hate to complain so much in the same breath that im claiming to really like this series. LOL. regardless, i honestly would recommend this series to a friend. it was nice to come home from and watch this after chaotic shifts at work. it's lighthearted, silly cheesy romance. a laugh and a good time guaranteed. it's definitely for easy watching, tho. just turn your brain off and don't think too hard, you'll have a great time.

If you want a comforting BL series and a good laugh then this show is definitely for you. However I do wish the actors felt more comfortable with each other when it came to kissing scenes but other than that the acting was actually very good and hilarious and it made me feel welcomed into their big cozy friend group.

My general thoughts:

It was so funny

It was too long for what it was about but what it was about was sweet and fun.

It would have been perfect if they just focused on the first couple more completely and at most the second couple, but the third and fourth just felt like a waste of time. Whenever they were on screen, their dryly developed stories cut in the middle of the main couple's story, which we're actually here for, for way too long and had me dragging my feet through the episode. The episodes would be half as long and many times easier to get through if they just weren't given so much screen time for generally/basically nothing

We Are….disappointed.

We Are…hoping for more drama. We Are….hoping for more chemistry. We Are hoping for more from Pond/Phuwin. We Are….wondering why this was 16 episodes. Hopefully that sums this review up.

In short, I expected so much more from this drama especially with Pond Phuwin as the headliners. After also watching “Never Let Me Go,” I personally don’t see the chemistry between them. They are both great actors and professionals, but the chemistry isn’t there. I feel like GMMTV keeps trying to make fetch happen with these two, but I just don’t find them naturally captivating as some of the other main couples.

AuoBoom stole the show in this one. I found myself wanting and wishing for more screen time with this side couple and their relationship was both cute and captivating. Only believable romantic chemistry from the main couples for me. It felt like the character of Q absolutely did not want to be in a BL…didn’t get that casting or paring at. all.

The story started off promising, but as many have already pointed out, the plot becomes pointless and looses steam between the leads in endless and senseless repetition.

Unfortunately, there isn’t enough fan service of other couples or other captivating performances to bail out the poor writing and plot, and the series loses steam. There was not a predictable pattern (minus an endless plot circle) and resolutio, and I found myself begging the writers for some drama.

AouBoom deserve their own series and did what they could to save the performance - defintely underrated. I came in with lower expectations and was surprised at their abilities and chemistry. They single handledly helped me not give lower than a 3 star rating. Really enjoyed their performance and hoping for more from them in the future!

We Are...

...Tired. Oh so tired.

I genuinely do not understand the rave reviews about this show. This show was average at best, the biggest MEH of my life to be honest. For starters, this show did not need to be 16 flipping episodes. Like what was the reason? Because I know it wasn't for the plot...you want to know why? BECAUSE THERE IS NONE. Now, don't get me wrong, I like slice of life dramas too...but this one was missing a crucial ingredient to most slice of life dramas. And that is the mini "beats" or "goals" throughout the story.

We started strong with Phum (Pond) and Peem (Phuwin) in the beginning with this whole "slave" trope that died out after episode like 4, and then there was no real "goal" or "beat" after that for those two. Besides Peem finishing his painting and Phum getting along with his dad...you cannot tell me we needed 16 episodes of that. 12 would have been just fine. If a toxic a** show like "Only Friends" can wrap s**t up in 12 episodes...."We Are" certainly could have.

Now let's talk about the couples...because that seemed to be the main focus of this series instead of you know an actual plot.

Phum & Peem: Now, I want everyone to breathe in for 3 seconds and out for 3 seconds, because what I am about to say is going to make some people really mad. They were my least favorite couple of the entire series. I was not a fan of their chemistry (or lack there of) or their characters. Now, this is NOT a jab at PondPhuwin...they are great actors who were just given a really sh***y script. In my opinion Phum & Peem's chemistry was not believable, the kisses looked forced and Peem constantly looked annoyed and in pain. I also could not STAND how they constantly had to ask about their feelings for one another. Like, y'all just made out 4 times and you still don't know if he likes you? Like be for real. At that point you are just not wanting to commit.

Q & Toey: Again, I am so sorry, but this was another couple that just did not do it for me. Also, I feel as if this couple had more screen time then our mains Phum & Peem. Like I saw more of their awkward a** banter than Phum & Peem's indecisive conversations. In terms of acting, I think Satang did a great job portraying that "cute" and "babygirl" persona...and Winny was alright. I will say I felt bad for Q during the whole "make Q jealous" segment where he was gaslit by his own friends about the relationship between Toey and Chain. Like if my friends ever did that to me I would be infuriated.

Tan & Fang: Now, this was my favorite couple of the whole series. I had no idea who AouBoom was before "We Are", and now they are all over my FYP because I cannot get enough of them. Was their story a little rushed in the beginning? Yes. Were they cringey at times? Also, yes. But did they have the best chemistry of all the couples? Absolutely, yes. In my opinion they carried this series, and were the scene stealers of a majority of the group shots. I also LOVED their character's back story where they revealed that they were actually enemies to lovers, I melted. My only question to GMMTV is: AOUBOOM MAIN LEAD SERIES WHEN?!?!

Chain & Pun: My 2nd favorite couple even though they did a whole lotta nothing. I just really loved Pun's character. He was so unhinged and made me laugh every time he did anything. I also liked how oblivious Pun was to Chain's advances and feelings. It was realistic in a sense (me feeling like Chain every time I flirt with my crush and they are oblivious to it). Their relationship felt the most relatable to me, two besties who have feelings for one another but are nervous to pursue anything. Marc and Poon did a wonderful job bringing us on that journey.

So I guess in conclusion, I recommend this series if you are a fan of one or more of the following things:
-PondPhuwin/WinnySatang/AouBoom/MarcPoon
-non-sensical slice of life dramas
-no plot
-neon bright drinks (iykyk)
-pouty baby girls
-going to school just to hang out and do absolutely no schoolwork
-school fairs
-sticking your nose into your friend's love life
-FRIENDSHIP
-art?

So yeah, if you're a fan of all the above and are looking for some wholesome s***, "We Are" is for you.

But if you are looking for something with a substantial plot and complicated characters....keep scrolling.

Youth, friendship & love

‘We are’ is my number one comfort series and I would rewatch it at any time.
I highly recommend watching this series to anyone who enjoys easy-going but however entertaining and interesting dramas and loves this vibe of a big friend group where every character has it’s own personality, charm and story as much as me. I’ve been looking forward to the story of every side couple as well as the main couples and I really liked the way the whole drama was build up. Maybe this series isn’t as dramatic and doesn’t contain as much depth for every plot as other series, but still there was a backstory for every character and plot that happened. So I know some people enjoy those real DRAMAS that contain a lot of painful past and reason to everything and this series isn’t this kind of thing, but it made me feel the whole story as if it were my own, I felt every bit of joy, sadness, embarrassment, anger and love. I laughed, I cried and I hid under my blanket. Whenever I think about this drama I feel such an amount of nostalgia that I can’t describe it… The way they portrayed their friendship, relationships and emotions really got me. Personally this will always be one of my favourite series. Thank you GMMTV for producing this masterpiece that kinda healed me and made my realize what real friends are worth.

Modern, real, entertaining and, above all, addictive

Although the series begins on a somewhat dramatic note, with two university students involved in a fight that leads to the inevitable hospital medical attention of one of them after receiving a blow, the story, in a fast, colorful and fun way, shows us, in tone of a youthful romantic comedy, one of the love plots between boys, set in a university, like the ones we are used to in BL series.
After the painting that is ready to be sent to an exhibition after sleepless nights becomes useless when it is hit by a soccer ball, Pheem will confront Phum, the extroverted, brilliant, stubborn and popular, but arrogant college soccer player, guilty of the in a bad way, and in a fit of anger he hits him.
Phum then demands compensation from him. But since the mischievous and playful second-year Fine Arts student, who dreams of one day having an art gallery in which to exhibit his own works, cannot pay the medical bills, they will ask him to be at their service and attend to all their needs. whims. But there will be a pact between the two: "No one will ever be able to know that one is a slave and the other is a master."
But Pheem will also demand that the "punishment" not last two months, but until he finishes redoing the damaged painting.
Thus begins the story of Pheem and Phum, the protagonists of the Thai series 'We Are', an adaptation of Parawi's novel of the same name.
When the future civil engineer, embarrassed by having been beaten in front of others, begins a plan of revenge against Pheem, at the same time as his demands as a master increase, his feelings begin to slowly grow.
The world is small and a university is even smaller. Being students at the same university, faced every day in their status as master-slave, leads the two young people to collide with each other again and again until both boys fall in love.
Phum's affectionate and tender behavior, the constant emission of "doubtful" vibrations, the sexual tensions created around the two, have not gone unnoticed by Pheem, who feels attracted to his "master" from the moment he meets him known.
In that daily struggle of who dominates who, underneath everything, the two have begun, perhaps without realizing it, as an involuntary act, to take care of each other.
Through the eyes of Pheem, the main narrator, the viewer will be able to enjoy the birth and evolution of the romance between two a priori incompatible people who, however, enter into a love relationship that, like all relationships, has a lot of imperfections, but this It will not discourage them in their efforts to find happiness side by side.
The main plot follows this young man in his university years, in which, surrounded by his friends, who are other young people his age, he discovers love for the first time and also himself.
Likewise, we see that a new character is introduced, Kluem, who will show to be interested in Peem. His appearance will provoke jealousy in Phum, but it will help him recognize in himself the feelings that he slowly develops every day for the arts student.
The main arc of the series begins in the usual youth romantic comedy style, with the boys' characteristic pranks; studies, which sometimes we are terrible at; falling in love, which in many cases is the first in life; coming of age, the transition from adolescence to early youth, the joys and difficulties that young people must face, friends who ignore us or, on the contrary, annoy us to no end, but are always present with his wise advice; the song that seems to save us time and time again from "sinking", the parents who do not understand us, the work that will come (or not) in the future, the differences in social classes... all these themes used mainly in function to provoke laughter, but also to make you reflect.
Starring PondPhuwin, a ship formed by actors Naravit Lertratkosum, who plays Phum, and Phuwin Tangsakyuen, in the role of Pheem, whom we have already seen together in 'Fish Upon The Sky', 'Never Let Me Go' and more recently In 'Our Skyy 2', the drama brings us characters with the classic cliché of "strangers to friends and friends to lovers." Phum and Pheem are two beings who are finding themselves and discovering their most intimate desires.
But theirs will not be the only romance. In addition to Phum and Pheem, as a plus, we have the expected secondary romance between WimmySatang, a couple made up of Thanawin Pholcharoenrat (Winny), as Q, the mentor, and Kittipop Sereevichayasawat (Satang), as Toey, the apprentice, who in 'My School President' left us wanting more.
Q, Pheem's best friend and who likes to sing in a night bar, has been Toey's inspiration to decide to study Fine Arts. Secretly, he has been in love with the final year student of that major for some time. Admiring his talent and personality has led him to love him, but Q is unable to see the signs that are constantly coming to him. Will Toey have the chance to confess his love? Has Q really been so blind? These two will also have an agreement: Q will demand from Toey: "Don't tell anyone that you are my apprentice."
And also a third BL romance, that of AouBoom, a duo made up of Thanaboon Kiatniran (Aou), as Tan, the cheerful Engineering student, and Tharatorn Jantharaworakarn (Boom), as Khaofang, a sensitive and shy young man from the Faculty of architecture. In this relationship, Tan will ask Phum to help him flirt with his brother in exchange for the location where he can find Pheem. And Phum, despite initially telling him that he is not the ideal boyfriend for his brother, will agree to help his friend in order to take revenge for the humiliation received.
There will also be a fourth romance: that of MarcPoon, the duo made up of Natarit Worakornlertsith (Marc), as Shane, and Poon Mitpakdee, as Pun. This relationship deepens as the two friends grow closer and get to know each other even more as they try to trick Q into believing that Shane is in love with Toey, in order to get him to declare his love. Although these three couples are secondary, they manage to win the hearts of the viewers.
The series highlights the different side of each of the four couples, their journey of discovery and acceptance. The eight young people will not fail to make you fall in love. As you get to know the four couples and see how the relationship between them evolves, you will be able to decide which one has stolen your heart the most and why.
These friends are what any human being would need to accompany them on a journey to discover falling in love and sex.
Although in principle it reminds us of other productions of this type, Thai fiction forges its own path of authenticity. In addition, it stands out for the construction of the characters that enchant from the first moment and the way the story is portrayed.
Although 'We Are' plays with the most modern ideas to portray teenagers in fiction, each of them enjoys a unique authenticity and demonstrates the sensitivity of Siwaj Sawatmaneekul (New), director, screenwriter and actor, to write their journeys of self-discovery. There are no "token" characters here, used in many television shows to call themselves diverse. We see young people exploring love and sexuality outside of heteronormativity.
We are faced with one of those series capable of attracting passionate followers around the world for its frank and sensitive representation of what today's teenagers face: first love, life at university, sex, self-discovery, most of all of age, youth traumas, inclusion, sexuality, neurodiversity and the best friends who help them get ahead.
With a vast body of work within the genre, with titles such as 'Love by Chance', 'Until We Meet Again' and 'Make It Right', among many others, New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul gives us one of those romantic and fun series with very good characters outlines that hook the public immediately.
Modern, real, entertaining and, above all, addictive, this series joins others with themes of first youth and first love, with the university as its setting, which has always had a negative connotation, since many ( (not to say all of us) it is difficult for us to admit that we have become hooked on some of these dramas, due to their ability to entertain the viewer from beginning to end.
