We Are

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

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 The beginning of their story about the slave and all that stuff was so outdated, but at least I felt that they did well with the development of their feelings for each other…, even if sometimes I couldn’t buy it.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.

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.

Navigating Youth and Friendship

The series centers on a group of friends navigating young adulthood, exploring themes of friendship, love, and personal growth.

Chemistry Between the Actors:
A standout aspect is the palpable chemistry between its lead actors, especially PondPhuwin, WinnySatang and AouBoom. Their on-screen dynamics are electric, bringing realism and depth to their characters’ relationship. From the first episode, they captivate with their natural rapport and effortless synergy. Whether sharing heartfelt moments or engaging in playful banter, their chemistry enhances every scene.

Character Development and Interactions:
They convincingly portray the journey from initial acquaintance to deep emotional connection, making each phase feel authentic and well-earned. Their scenes together are highlighting the strength of their bond and providing a solid emotional core for the audience to see.

Criticisms:
Despite its strengths, “We Are The Series” has notable flaws. At 16 episodes, the series feels unnecessarily prolonged, with too much filler content and insufficient plot and conflict. A tighter narrative spread across 10 to 12 episodes would have made for a more cohesive and engaging story. Additionally, the direction is inconsistent, with some episodes lacking cohesion and fluidity, which can be jarring and detract from the viewing experience. The series also suffers from plot holes that can be distracting, leaving unanswered questions and unresolved subplots. Rush editing leads to abrupt transitions, disrupting the narrative flow and diminishing the emotional impact of key moments.

Impact on the Series:
Despite these criticisms, the series remains highly watchable (proven with continuously becoming #1 X trending) and emotionally engaging, largely due to the cast’s strength and chemistry. Their performances add authenticity and depth, making the emotional highs and lows more impactful. This connection enriches their characters and enhances the overall ensemble dynamic.

Conclusion:
While the series faces challenges with its episode length, inconsistent direction, plot holes, and rush editing, its portrayal of on screen couples relationships and the vibrant, nostalgic depiction of university life make it a standout. This series will resonate with anyone who fondly remembers their own university days, filled with the ups and downs of young adulthood.

WE ARE in love!

We are, a long awaited series of mine. Not only did it include one of my favorite ships, PondPhuwin, but it also awoke a love for AouBoom.

NOTE: If there happens to be mistakes, I apologize. I currently have nails on and I haven't gotten better at typing on my phone, therefore I used speech to text. Please inform me on if I made any mistakes!

ANYWAYS! Let's get to the review :)


We Are is my series that you don't LOVE, but can't stop watching. Some may disagree BUT, We Are wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Although it had its rough spots, they also had moments where I couldn't stop watching.

Phum and Peems story started when Phum accidentally kicks a ball and it happened to hit Peem's artwork that he had been working on for the museum showing in his department, which he studies Arts, if that wasn't obvious. A furiated Peem punches him which leads to Phum being upset. Phum pressures his friend to show him where Peem is. Once shown, Phum wants to make a deal. He offers for Peem to pay money, but obviously, he doesn't have that much, therefore there is an agreement where Peem must be Phum's slave. As they hang out together Phum suddenly realizes that this is more than just an agreement, he's developing feelings.

Their story was good, thats about it. As much as I love these two together, considering how much I love Never Let Me Go, them too in this just wasn't it. It wasn't like their chemistry wasn't good, or their acting wasn't good, it was just the script and the storytelling that made it go downhill for me. About a few episodes in, I don't really remember which one, these two kiss, but it isn't until almost the very last episode that they get together. It's understandable if the writers didn't want to put them together right away, even after a kiss, but to drag it out so long that they don't get together, even though we know both of them have liked each other for however many episodes, is too much. Overall I'd give this a couple about a 7 out of 10 because of the dragging. Nothing about them was bad, it was just how the story went.

Q and Toeys story began before the present day. Toey had known Q before Q knew him. Thekr back story, long story short, Toey had liked Q since before, leading him to want to go to college for Arts. Here, Q is Toeys mentor. Again, as the last two, they begin to hang out together, and this relationship turns more than just a mentor and a mentee.

These two, as much as I loved them in My School President, this.. this just wasn't it. I don't know if it was because I just didn't feel the chemistry this series, or if it was because I felt like their scenes were repeating, but I found myself beginning to skip almost every single scene there were for them. If you love Winny and Satang then I'm sure you will love this pair, but they just weren't for me this series.


Tan and Fang.. MY CUTIES!! Tan had liked Fang since before the first episode, therefore he asks Phum, Fangs brother, to set him up. As the story goes on, these two develop a romantic relationship early in the drama. I don't really have much to say about them when it comes to their story because I felt like they weren't shown as much as the other two couples that have been mentioned.

As mentioned, these two, along with the next couple I'm going to mention, didn't get much screen time in my opinion. Honestly, I liked this couple and the next couple I'm going to mention more than the other two. I felt the love between Aou and Booms characters. I had seen these two only one other time in Hidden Agenda. I have loved them and hidden agenda, but I think this drama may or may not have made them in one of my tops of GMMTV couples. When it comes to them and their story, I feel like it was one of the best out of these couples.


Chain and Pun. Best friends who felt like they were never going to become more. I would give a description of their story, but there's not much to say. I'm not saying this in a way that I'm saying I don't like their chemistry or friendship or anything, but oh boy, did these two make me doubt that they were even going to become a couple. It wasn't until about the 15th episode that we finally got a hint of them possibly ending up together. These two are so cute, but I felt like they barely got any screen time. Pun is such a cute character, and I'm so excited to watch Poon in more dramas, but other than the fact that they were cute, we got nearly nothing from them. That doesn't make me not love them, because every single scene that had them in it, I was sat. I hope to see these two in another drama together, where hopefully they actually have screen time and don't get together the very last episode. (also, in need of more MarcPoon!!)

Whats an unexpected couple you didn't expect?? 👧👂🫷


THATS RIGHT!!! Matt and Mick!!!

Although they didn't really end up together.. With that scene in ep 15, (or 14..i can't remember, it all begins to blur after ep 10) I'd like to imagine they have something going on. ANYWAYS!! They're cutie and I hope that someday we'll get a special episode and confirm my imagination.


In all, this series was full of comedy, youth, and of course, romance. Although it wasn't the best, that doesn't make it the worst. It dragged, but it had good moments. Although, it could've been packed into 10-13 EPs, I'll still appreciate what we got. Lets meet again in the future, We Are.

Beginners would enjoy this show.

We Are (2024) is a great show, especially for beginners in the BL genre. The cast is fantastic, featuring popular pairings like PonPhuwin, AouBoom, and many other amazing ships. The series mainly focuses on four couples, and although I thought it would be hard to keep track of their names and storylines, it turned out to be fun and easy to follow.

One small disappointment (spoiler alert!) is that I wish MarcPoon had more screen time, as they only confessed at the very end, along with another sideship. Despite that, it was a delightful series, and I’m hoping for a season 2!

"We Are: A Soft, Comforting Hug in BL Form"

We Are completely stole my heart in the most gentle and beautiful way. It’s not loud or overly dramatic — and that’s exactly what makes it so special. The story is soft, real, and full of warmth. Every little moment between the characters feels honest and pure. The chemistry is natural, the pacing is calm, and the emotions slowly sneak up on you in the best possible way.

Watching We Are felt like being wrapped in a cozy blanket — safe, loved, and understood. It shows that love doesn't have to be loud to be powerful. I smiled, teared up, and finished with a full heart. If you’re looking for a BL that feels like home, this is the one. I’m forever thankful for this

Right series at the right time❤️‍?

A really big "thank you" to We Are for existing and for becoming such a meaningful part of my life. I’m truly sad that it has come to an end, but believe me — you won’t be forgotten. At least not by me. I’m one of the biggest lover of this series because it gave me so many beautiful emotions and unforgettable moments.

Thank you for filling my Wednesdays with joy. You made me cry, laugh, scream, and even blush. I’m so grateful.

(Don’t worry — no spoilers here!)

Every couple, every single actor, did an amazing job. This rom-com became my only reason to look forward to the week. Some people criticized it, and honestly, I never understood why. But it is your point of view and i won't judge it, it's totally normal to have different tastes, but please dont be too mean/rude.
Hating this series 'cause there were “too many episodes”? is really stupid. Like seriously? These are the same people begging for more when their favorite 12-episode series ends too soon. And "too many couples"? Please. Each couple was well-developed, had their sweet moments, and added something special to the story. The director truly did an incredible job balancing it all.
Yes, some couples might had more screen time than others, but every moment was worth it. I’ll never understand the reasons why some dropped the show, but We Are absolutely deserves the love and hype it’s getting. It’s one of the most heartwarming and memorable series I’ve ever seen.

So please, if you haven’t already, give it a try. You won’t regret it. This series is a celebration of friendship, love, and healing. It’s well-written, beautifully acted, and the soundtrack is just perfect. There’s not a single bad thing I can say about it.

All 16 episodes are enjoyable, sweet, and full of heart. The entire cast is amazing. And the director? They deserve far more recognition.

(Sorry if there are any mistakes — English isn’t my first language.)

And finally, a special thank you to my dear friend Crina, who watched We Are with me every Wednesday and screamed with me through all the emotions. You’re the Q to my Toey. I love you so much, even if we rarely say it to each other. ^^
