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.

I loved it
There are only really two reactions people have to this show; either they love it, or they are incredibly bored. As you can probably guess, I am in the camp of people who loved this show. I love how it is not brimming with melodrama and it instead goes a calmer route. As a viewer I was pleasantly surprised on multiple occasions where characters solved their problems without drama and with forgiveness. I was also impressed with how it handled mental illness and abuse. A 9/10 from me.Was this review helpful to you?

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.

US ??
first of all, gmmtv totally changed the plot from the novel and kept the main plot and the name only, and that's the best decision they made. this is the best gl from gmmtv so far. one of the best from gmmtv in general as well. this is top notch. this show is nearly perfect. the script writer deserves a raise. the cinematography is so mesmerizingly beautiful. the first few episode might feel a bit boring and slow paced, but it slowly dives into the plot and gets you hooked. every character in this series has a personality, this series is the closest to how real life is. no unrealistic plot. what i love the most about this is, this show didn't include the "mandatory" episode 11 break up, and getting back together out of the blue after a huge time skip with one episode left. another thing i love is, how they stick together till the very end, never doubted their partner, always communicated, how rak instantly snapped back when nene tried to stir things between her and pam. their bonding is too strong to get tackled that easily. the build up was so good. this show doesn't only focus on the main couple and add up unrealistic and unnecessary drama, it shows the difference between both pam and rak's family. the ending was so sad yet felt so heartwarming. the grandma was so adorable and memorable. this show is a lot more than two people falling in love, getting together and happy ending forever. it's more about dealing with toxic family members, dealisng with family issues, living a hard life while still being in a supportive and healthy relationship. i love how each character finally got their inner peace at the end. this deserves a lot more recognisation and a higher rating. i hope gmmtv takes their gl's seriously and keep up the good work. overall, 10/10. also, just my opinion, us -> 23.5 -> pluto.Was this review helpful to you?
My favorite GL serie of alla time
I have never felt so attached to a couple like I was with PamRak. Emi and Bonnie brought these two character to life..both so realistic, relatable and lovable. I admit that the story development could be perceived as slow, but to me it felt like a warm hug and pat on the head.Us the series is good for the heart, and I needed it.

You should definitely watch it.
The story is cute, fun, light and so wholesome. The best brother in gl history is here and his name is P'Kawi. And the best grandma too. Not much conflict. Slow burning, slice of life kind of deal. Great couple chemistry, A lot of sweet kisses and scenes. Out of all the GLs I've watched so far this is the most chill one. But it's also quite moving. I highly recomend.Was this review helpful to you?

I did expect a more angst story BUTTTT I was really surprise with a cute Family found story. I love how Nene was accepted in the family (Will they do the same with every other hidden children?? Have fun with your 30 children family..)Thanks god no one forgive the dad.
At first, I find it a little slow and boring BUT I was dumb, it's cute and really heartwarming.
I'm sad Nene and Oat didn't kiss :c My Viewmim heart

GREAT OST AND AMAZING CHEMISTRY
An amazing story with great chemistry between Emi and Bonnie! The visuals and scenery was phenomenal and the OSTs are so good with the main lead's voices. The story line is sad but not depressing. The director did a good job with balancing the sadness in the story with good and easy going moments as well. Each character contributed to the drama's and none of them were dull or annoying to watch (Well maybe except for Dokrak's toxic father). I especially loved all the dialogues and sweet moments between Pam and Dokrak). Overall Us the Series is a 10 out of 10 for me! I loved it!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Slow paced and sweet
If you like fast paced shows with a lot of drama and action or easy entertainment this might not be for you, but if you like stories that take their time and delve into the characters this is a great show. This is my favorite gl by far, I keep finding new things I like every time I rewatch, a character detail I hadn't noticed, the sound design, beautiful frames. It's a beautiful show. A rich, comforting story about found family and overcoming grief, about what love can do if you let it in.Was this review helpful to you?
