We Are

This was such a fun show, super funny and comforting.
I may be scarred by other shows cause whenever an episode was just so fun or when they made promises to do something together soon, I thought something bad was gonna happen real soon but nothing ever did.
No bad vibes here, no misunderstandings, no breakups, no toxic, no threats, no stupid fights, just good vibes, amazing chemistry and hilarious fun with real plot and development

Everyone in this cast is pretty identifiable and had their own style, I struggle with faces but I was never confused here.

The first episode (or at least the first 20ish minutes) were a bit slow for my taste and I even stopped there and had it on "hold" for a few months but I tried it again and after that slow bit, it was never ending entertainment

The characters in this show are very heartwarming and they never hesitate to share their thoughts with everyone that they love each-other and are happy they're all together, that they'll be forever grateful they're in each-others lives. Everyone (and I mean everyone) were always included and never left out, always being together and helping each-other

I'll always be jealous of this friend group and it'll be my dream to have people in my life like this, I'm already 24 so hope I can find my group soon haha.


I'm still laughing at this one scene where Peem visits home and says to his mum "I brought my friends with me" then gestures with a camera zoom out; a bus load of 10 handsome guys taking up the whole screen hahahaha, bro really brought an arsenal (his parents loved all of them, super heartwarming)
I also love the bloopers at the end of the last ep where the cast couldn't stop laughing, you just know they had a blast almost everyday on set

Very much recommend this show and take a break from the toxic stuff we often see <3

THIS SERIESSSSS isss very very fressshh

SALAHH satu series pondphuwin yang cukup fun dibandingkan NLMG jadi kayak hypenya tiba-tiba jadi fresh, sebenernya oke tapi alurnya agak berantakan sedikit dan plotnya agak kosong(?) mungkin karena banyak CP ya dan ekseskusi dari sutradaranya sendiri kurang jadi ga terlalu memuaskan banget dibandingkan sama series pondphuwin sebelumnya which is NLMG, mungkin karena ini juga termasuk series yang barengan sama cp lain jadi kebagi-bagi ya... tapi jadinya plotnya kadang agak boring walau color palette filmya fresh banget tapi jadi kemana-mana gitu setiap episode nya yang bikin bingung. Dan ini salah satu series yang minimm konflik (kecuali waktu masalah Q sama Toey dan masalah Peem nendang Phum 😭) sisanya bisa banget di enjoy. Untuk overall ini series bagus dan rekomen buat orang-orang yang lagi pengen nonton series santai karena ini SANTAI BANGETT dan bener-bener bikin mood balik lagi deh walaupun eksekusi sutradara nya kureng. But I love their acting SOOO MUCCCHHH!

No big Drama - but a Story about simple Life and Love

I like it. Short sentence, but big Meaning.

Its a series about Life and Love. Its easy und slow, but completly right for times, when you only want to sit und watch a series, without thinking. A series to relax.
I think, we need this example of series.
About the acting is nothing to complain. They do it good.

Its a little difficult for me, because the happiness and die positve future is nothing, i knew for me, but i like to watch it. You can imagine, that this positivity can really be like that. That there are people, which a really so. We all know, life can sucks a lot und for me, this kind auf happiness is not a normal occurrence.
But bnecause of that, i love to watch this kind auf series.

For many people is "We are" boring, but for a lot of other people is it like a nice book, where you can dive in and put your own world aside. And you are happy with the main protagonists und how the story ended.

So, yeah. I like it :-)

We are forever

I actually really liked we are the whole cast was absolutely amazing. Before I watched it and when it was on the Up and Above line up I was a little bit concerned with the 4 couples because not a whole bunch of shows can do multiple couples and do them justice, but we are actually had each couple actually get together. I also really want their friend group because that the definition of real friends I will write about each couple and who were my favorites, but be aware that there might be spoilers.

**SPOILERS**

[Phum and Peem]
I felt they had a whole lot of chemistry throughout the whole show and of course because it’s Pond and Phuwin. Their story started from Phum kicking a soccer ball into Peems painting which landed on the floor and got destroyed when it was made for their schools gallery which Peem spent a whole lot of time painting. Then their whole enemies to lovers storyline started with Phum making Peem be his slave instead of paying for his injury where he got kicked in the ❌. While being his slave he started to have feelings for him to the point that it was hard for him to hide which was shown at the event where he got him a matching doll with his teddy bear and sharing the boat to make a wish and when his newest enemy (Kleun) came to get with Peem, but we all know in the end Phum had already stolen his heart even though they weren’t officially dating they did kiss multiple times and when they were dating I’ll just say that Phum was hungry.
[Q and Toey]
I love Winny and Satang since School Pres era and they had the best chemistry that I still can’t get over so I was really excited to see them. Their storyline is the senior and junior and I’ll say they pulled it off really well they even had some moments in the very beginning that showed that Toey had liked Q and then it was revealed so Peems friend group + Matt had helped Toey win over Q buy making Chain be his “crush/hitting on him” and it worked even if Chain really hated it. They got “together” in a haunted house because no one else wanted to go in so Q confessed and kissed Toey and of course Toey was stunned. Later it was revealed that they already knew each other from a cafe that they both went to when they were in high school and met from Toey finding his pencil case that his grandpa gave him so they started cheating on sticky notes behind Q’s canvases, and became known as “Pencil Senior and Milk Frappe Boy”. They did have a misunderstanding between them once Q heard Toey saying that story and got mad, but they overcame it and finally got together and they are super duper cute when their together.
[Tan and Fang]
I have to say now I’m super obsessed with Aou and Boom I already was in hidden agenda, but they took me over. Their story doesn’t have much to talk about since they aren’t the two main couples, rather they were the first couple to get together. Tan had already started to make a move on Fang in the very beginning of the show so their story had already started to lead when the others were at the starting line, but turns out that they had knew each other prior which was in high school, Tan and Fang were rivals and even beat each other up at their first meeting, at their second Tan was helping Fang and Phum while they were getting beaten up and ran away with them and even held Fangs hand while running away, but it didn’t seem that Fang remembered Tan and even help address his wounds. How the couple got together was when they were celebrating an event and Tan had wanted to sail a boat with him and confess his feelings to Fang and surprisingly Fang immediately said yes and of course Tan was on top of the moon. I also feel that Toey is secretly their child especially when they were in the aquarium. I have to say that they were one of my favorite couples from their show because all of their sweet moments, one intense scene and those hidden moments when the camera wasn’t focused on them literally made me smile so hard that my lip was quivering from trying to stop making it smile.
[Chain and Pun]
Our last couple from the series, I have never seen Poon in a dram and I have to say he’s the cutest and funniest person I’ve seen and I swear I act like Pun it’s insane. I have always shipped them two from the start because in that first episode when they were drinking in the bar and Pun came in his pjs and wanted steak Chain had to break the news that theirs no steak at the bear and he started to sulk it was the cutest thing and once they arrived to Peems place and he slept hugging Chain and bitting his ear I was screaming. When Pun had found a fallen bird he immediately went to Chain because he thought he was a veterinarian and Chain literally told him that he’s a dentist and how Pun already told him what the birds name is which was guin short for penguin and how they both raised guin together and freed him together and Chain looked at Pun multiple times to say he loves Pun, but Pun always says I love you back the proceeds to say I love penguin or penguins. That even Tan got tired of it and told Pun about Chains feelings will always be rejected because his crush only loves penguins. I was happy that the last scene of we are went to them finally getting together with two whole long kisses that Toey literally couldn’t watch and one he could finally see clearly. Also those 5 minutes in each episode were worth it and I wish to see more of them in future BL dramas.
I really enjoyed We are if you can’t tell from my review already being this long, but I really recommend this series because each 16 episodes were worth watching.

If you're looking for an objective review, this isn't the one.

As I put in the headline, this won't be very objective.

The series wasn't perfect, didn't have a central plot, there were some scenes that were awkward to watch, but for me, there were things that saved that.

First of all, one of the main things the series focus on, the friend group and friendship, we got to see what a healthy friendship is like, how all of them loved each other and were always there to help and support the rest.

Then we have QToey, I wish the director made them have more skinship in scenes where they were at the back, but the scenes that focus completely on them were completely perfect to me, I saw an amazing chemistry and I believe WinnySatang have a long career ahead of them and they deserve their own series.

TanFang? They were so perfect for each other, I wish we got more scene of them because everytime they were on screen I just couldn't help but smile, Tan might be too clingy and cheesy, but I didn't find him annoying at all. AouBoom deserve to be an official couple and have their own series too.

And our new discovery, MarcPoon. After their scenes in the last two episodes, I believe the director and the whole team got scared of their power because how come they didn't use all that potential in every episode and not on the lastest ones? They did ChainPun dirty. I can't wait to see more of these two as a couple, they were amazing.

Lastly, I want to praise Pond's acting too, he was incredible, I wish I could say the same about Phuwin, but the Phuwin I saw here wasn't the same I saw in Never Let Me Go, I don't know why I feel him so awkward here.

We are...

Not good at writing a good series. Seriously when you're side couples are more interesting than your main couple it a serious red flag and I wish I would have dropped it at episode 3 but by episode 10 I was hopefully something would happen and it never did. Episodes 15 & 16 were basically just them on group vacations. Thank goodness I could speed this up so it was only 30min and honestly I think I skipped an episode and missed nothing to do with the nonexistent plot. What is going on with all these shows that look good before it's out and then 3 episodes in you can't even remember why you wanted to watch it. We need quality not quantity shows. I'll wait 3-6 months for a good show but this crap isn't it.

A Dose of Serotonin

There are various reasons why 'We Are' is a standout drama, which I will highlight below, but I must start with the most important.

'We Are' is unpretentious. From the start, the show promised us a feel good romcom, delivered by an endearing cast of friends, and not once did it fail us. From beginning to end we are presented with a healthy loving group of friends in healthy loving relationships. Yes, drama can make for good TV, but there’s always room for a show that offers comfort and good-natured humor.

'We Are' is a slow burn. Surprisingly, I believe that in this case, it’s a plus. In the BL era of everyone must be dating by episode 5, it can even be considered refreshing. Despite our main couple not being official until the latter half of the show, there was little room for the viewers to doubt that they would eventually get there. By showing that a lack of a relationship status did not impede the romance of it all, they managed to cleverly keep viewers engaged. It was also entertaining to observe the multiple couples in various stages of a relationship. With such a large group of friends, there was always something going on.

'We Are' boasts of a lovable cast. The true star of this show and what kept the story connected, was how genuinely the friend group was written. There was love there that is just as important as the romance. It’s not difficult to root for a group of characters, when they are ALL genuinely good people. (I have to say that watching that last episode made me a tiny bit emotional. It’s like I’m sending off my children into the adult world. I don’t have any children.)

All in all, 'We Are' never failed to deliver that midweek kick of serotonin, and for that it will be missed.

Was it perfect? No. But it accomplished what it set out to do in a striking way.

Rating : 9.5/10. Comforting & Feel-Good.
