Comforting and have a good music

Us The Series” is one of those rare gems that feels like a warm hug on a rainy day. From the very first episode, it wraps you in a blanket of comfort,soft, tender, and deeply human.

The cinematography is beautifully done, with soft tones and aesthetic visuals that perfectly match the gentle background music. Every scene feels intimate and intentional, creating a mood that’s both cozy and immersive.

The acting is natural and heartfelt, and the lead actress is not only cute but incredibly expressive. it’s hard not to fall in love with her charm. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, capturing the little moments that make a relationship real: quiet smiles, unspoken worries, subtle glances. It’s not over-dramatized; it’s honest.

What truly stands out is how it portrays real-life couple scenarios; the sweet, the messy, the vulnerable, all with a soft, unforced kind of love. There’s a genuine warmth in the way it tells its story, making it deeply relatable and comforting.

It’s the kind of series that leaves you feeling light but full, like everything will be okay. I couldn’t help but rewatch it again and again and each time, it hits just as softly and beautifully as the first.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a feel-good series with heart, depth, and a lot of love.

Warmth of found family

This GL series is more of a family drama than a romance. The show focuses on what makes a family, how family can cause traumas to their memebers and how found family aspect in life helps people grow. I think the emotional weight of the story is there and it really touches audience's heart. The growth of characters is visible and their paths are clear. I think, where the series stumbles, is tying the whole story together, the story of one family, the story of other family and the romance, it sometimes feels very disjointed. The actresses have good chemistry, but the love story moves way too quickly and then it's put on pause when family stuff takes over. On the acting front, the series does fairly well in general, although, some emotional scenes especially, could have had more heft.
Overall, it's an enjoyable show, but it could have been a brilliant show if the pacing was better and the stories connected smoothly.

Kind of strange, but I love it

Well, beside the title "US" and the characters names, nothing seems to come close or a slight resemblance to the original novel. I don't dislike it, just feels strange wondering why don't the production company just make it into an original screenplay instead. Because the altered storyline is really not bad, I like it. Having said that, I don't dislike the original novel too, in fact I reread it twice. Which is why I can't help but to compare.

Anyway, great job everyone that contributed to the success of US the series. I love every part of it especially it's OST. By the way, this series has got high rewatch value, I'm sure going to watch again. Keep up the good work and look forward to more great series by Emily and Bonnie. Cheers!

a good ending but felt too shoort wish more 2nd couple too

Love it !!!

Rak & Pam love each other truly despite both knowing the backstory,
Rak father being responsable for Pam's parents death.

It felt, like us the viewer they know the real responsable of their pain.
they didn't blame each other.

Not the famous episode with the unnecessary break-up.
The famous we can't be together, when they discover that one of
the protagonists is responsible for the misfortune of his boyfriend
or her girlfriend's family. And that the other necessarily knew too
but didn't say anything.

Here, at least, they talk about it and their love is VERY strong to get throught this , they trust each other, they are
intelligent and to understand that the real culprit is the father, so no need to suffer for
something they're not responsible for.

Applause for Kawi, Rak brother, too always be in his sister side a REALLY GOOD brother.
Despite his situation, they have a real strong sibling bond.

He always cared for his little sister, even if he was " home " with his ass**** father. and wasn't able to stand up at th e begining.
Even when he learned Pam love his sister, he let it go, even ask her to take care of her sister if someting happened.

I was soo glad brother and mother finally stand up.

Even Nene, I understand why she was angry and wanting revenge.
Nene lost her parents because of him, but didn't affect Khemn AT ALL.
Even about mistress, he was like I give them money.
The fact he didn't even see what a jerk he is and all wrong doing and pain he has done, even in front of his son he felt
NO SHAME.

Imagine hire people to beat Nene, because she's right, but he's still thinking he's right.

Love the fact at the end Nene understand, ONLY this ass** " father" was the only responsable for parents's death and didn't do bad things to Dokrak and her brother. I even feel, in a way at the end it
help them healing each other as a real " familly " because in a way they all suffer because of Khem's actions.

Only disappointment , I WISH more episode or last episodes
loonger , in order to see MORE Oat & Nene, after all pain the anger, she's finally at peace and find a love interested. Also wish more sibling bond between Kawi Rak and Nene. Also see more HOW bad the karma get Khemn while others find their happiness and can live WITHOUT HIM.

This was my very first gl. I've never watched any in my life, so I thought I'd give it a try and give it a chance (even if it's from gmmtv). I've only finished watching it now, because I watched it with a classmate at school, so don't judge me thx. The series is about Dokrak, who has a part-time job at a cafe in the Art & Us gallery. That's where he meets Pam, a dental student who is a regular visitor to the cafe so she can mainly focus on books. As soon as Dokrak meets Pam, he immediately falls in love with her. However, when Dokrak's brother - Kawi - meets Pam, he falls in love with her at first sight, so he turns to his younger sister and asks her for help. Since Kawi has a great sister, Dokrak naturally helps him (even though she herself is in love with Pam). As I said, I didn't have high hopes for it at first, but I couldn't judge because it was really my first GL, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cast was great, the plot was also good and I really enjoyed it. There were ofc moments when I was bored or thought it was unnecessarily long, but I still really liked the series.

An Important story

In general, I enjoy the series, even if I find it rather slow. It's hard to explain, but there doesn't seem to be much going on, while we're discovering important elements about the characters.

I really like the way the relationship between Dokrak and Pam is built up. We see them getting to know each other, being shy and, little by little, feeling comfortable with each other.

The series really tackles family trauma, and it's done in a very relevant way. Nene, Dokrak and Kawi see their parents as people who have neglected them and don't love them for who they are.

I sincerely hope they don't give Khem a redemption arc, as he embodies a horrible father and husband. His wife is also responsible, but she suffers his violence, so I don't blame her too much.

I find that the story is more about family than romance between women. There's certainly a love story between two young women, but what really interests me is family dynamics.

I hope we'll have more stories like this.

Thank God.

GMMTV actually did get it together nonetheless! They didn't have a SUUUPER rushed ending (granted they still picked up the pace), which is the problem with most GLs. They didn't confound the story with twenty other GL/BL couples! They got a good CP with EmiBonnie who acted very well, and sang AMAZINGLY. Finally, they didn't try to end the story w/ "ohh but this homophobic family member has been an ally for the entire series!!!"

The chemistry doesn't feel entirely forced as it does sometimes in other GLs, where they're like "get together and hope it works out!" No exaggerated romance basically, and it didn't feel like "hey! hopefully we get straight guys to watch this!" (as i say, as a straight man). However, I do feel the drama could have done a bit better with conflicts and interrelationship conflicts between EmiBonnie. Couples fight, let's be real. So for a lot of the story you're left asking "oh is this the fork in the road that causes a major conflict?" Then it ends with Bonnie being extraordinarily forgiving, to a surprising degree. Green flag I guess(?)

If you're looking for a series that fit the book though, this REAALLLLY wasn't it. Besides keeping some aspects of the original characters from the novel, and the names of the characters; literally nothing else was from the novel. Which I congratulate GMMTV for, because whenever they try to take most of the novels and implement it into the drama, eventually something essential gets left out and most of the time we're left wanting more, or feeling disappointed at the end. They avoid the unnecessary fluff and drama that the novel takes up and simplify all the characters.

I will say towards the end, you definitely feel the pace of the series pick up, it goes from "ohh we're just flirting, and SLIGHTLY hinting we're interested in each other, and that take an ENTIREEEE episode." to "Oh, shit. Shit hits the fan!" My main criticism with 23.5 was that there were too many other CPs that had took up a bulk of the story from MilkLove, but I'd say with ViewMim, they could have had slightly more development than just View being a hopeless romantic haha, but I digress. I'd also like to say, THANK GOD the way they dealt with Khem. You know he's a terrible father, and person in general, and you REALLY hope that unlike most GLs, they won't wrap him up in a little bow and say "He's GREAT!" Nah. He gets divorced, his family is destroy b/c of his actions, and you're left feeling great that he's gone from Rak's life.

To conclude, so far, the best GL that GMMTV has produced, and I hope they produce some high quality ones in the future.
[9/10]

Could Have Been Better, Was Disappointing!

“Us The Series” had a lot of missed potential.

Normally, when I write a review, I begin by writing the basic plot of the show, following which I discuss what I liked about it, and what could have been different.

For Us, though, it feels more appropriate to write two plots instead, what I expected the show to be going in, what every trailer had led me to believe it was going to be, and what it actually was.

Both the original teaser, which immediately set this show apart for me because of how soft and romantic yet angsty it felt, with perfectly complementary cinematography, and the trailer that was released just before the show began, set it out to be something completely different than what it was.

I can understand not wanting to reveal major plot twists in the trailer itself, but there is a fine line between misleading viewers for the sake of a twist that pays off, and false advertising.

One of the heartwarming GL’s I’ve ever watched

It’s not too dramatic, not too inclined towards the tropes most people would expect to watch, but US is ours, and if you’re someone that find themselves rewatching this series, then you have good taste. US shows us that a series can be good without too much love conflict, US shows us that not all stories revolves around only the relationship between the two main characters. This show is homey, if I would have to put it in a word because every scene doesn’t stray away too much from what people experience in real life.

I thank whoever it is that casted Emi and Bonnie for US, because I don’t think anyone could’ve portrayed Pam and Dokrak the way they did. Pam and Dokrak were meant for Emi and Bonnie and I’m glad that it happened. I’m thankful that P’Fon is the director for this because she’s very meticulous with every series that she works on, and it truly shows with how beautiful, how intricate this show is.

The music choice is top-notch, I don’t think I can ever rewire my brain not to think about Pam and Dokrak whenever I would hear that music they played when Pam kissed Dokrak. I don’t think I could ever live a day without playing Emi’s song on repeat at least 5 times and Bonnie’s song just speaks of everything that Dokrak felt for Pam up until they’ve confessed to each other.

If you’re someone that’s trying to find a thrilling GL series, something with too much spiciness and just drama and drama and making up, this isn’t for you. But if you’re brave enough to go past through your ‘expectations’ and watch US with all the understanding and none of your ‘types’ or ‘categories’, then try. Then you’d see why US isn’t for everyone else’s but ours. Might become yours too.
