We Are (2024)

I LOVE IT.

I was so deppressed last week and then i choose to binge watch current available episode of We Are (Yes, I've been marinate it for awhile) and than BAMMM suddenly life's feel worth living again The plot actually quite simple (which i really love, cause i don't like heavy stuff). And the comedy it's top tier! Kinda make me wants to rewatch Fish Upon The Sky huehehee. And the fact that they almost got the same cast got the nostalgia poin up to 10! The character that got my love most is Kaofang, i think he put a spell on me you guys! I never really got drawn to Boom's character! But in here he so charming <3 ehem back to serious bussiness, the acting its getting better i think. The OST its on repeat! This series have not been finish yet but i can't wait for their next project! Yes you can say i'm being greedy!! HEHE.

Great Cast. Simple Story. University Life. Falling in Love

I've read and heard many disparaging remarks about Phuwin and Pond's acting ability or lack thereof, so I want to briefly touch on that. Bullsh*t. They are both great actors at least by Thai standards. Acting is craft open to interpretation so I am definitely not pushing my opinions down anyone's throat.

I did read one review that said Phuwin relies on acting tricks. I've taken acting classes and I've seen many a series or a movie where even the finest actors awarded with high acting awards use tricks. Its part of the business and its also something directors direct actors to do to get their vision across. Is it murky. Depends on your own take.

Unless a person is aware of foreign acting classes and what and how they teach or what they are expected to convey via workshops and director notes or writer input one can not actually judge. But again it is only opinions.

About We Are. This is a simple story and even the simplest of story have complexity. Each couple here have a certain dynamic.
PhumPheem: They are not in a relationship yet. But their attraction is evident. It's simple. With the appearance of Title as Kluen we will see.
QToey: A seret backstory where their love started without even meeting with one having more information than the other even if it's not a wealth of information. WINNYSATANG are delivering a great chemistry and their acting improve with each episode.
TanFang: This one for me is the worse because one seems less than caring and the other cares too much. They are a good ship so I hope their on screen coupling becomes more than one sided. Tan is so over the top. He's hilarious. While Fang is very aloof.
ChainPun: Nothing much just a couple of intense stares and ear nibbling. Cute but they are not getting enough screen time.

These are my opinions and mine alone. I shall not argue about them with anyone. It's an enjoyable series. But it is GMMTV I wouldn't expect Shakespeare or something more deep. It is Thai BL so it is what it is.

Aquele BL Que Fez Acontecer!

Este não é um BL para quem gosta de algo mais quente, mas se você está procurando um programa que enfatize amizades e relacionamentos saudáveis, “We Are” faz um ótimo trabalho. Isso era algo que eu realmente esperava, e que a direção da série fez com maestria, e funcionou bem nesse aspecto. As conexões genuínas e interações positivas entre os personagens são revigorantes e comoventes. Posso dizer que não fique desapontado. Teve um ótimo elenco, personagens incríveis, enredo maravilhoso, ótima dinâmica familiar/amizade, lindo Ost. Além disso, tem personagens engraçados. Embora se diga "já está clichê por parte da GMM este tipo de bL", então fica a pergunta, o que interesse seria um BL estilo, "Verdades Secretas"? Eu particularmente, volto a dizer, achei super tranquilo, não foi um BL tenso, chegava ao fim e você..."mas já?"

The simple life of cute university students

"We Are" is a slice-of-life drama, a drama that some may describe as "healing" content. The image that comes to mind when thinking about it, is a river, something that flows naturally and steady, without any huge obstacles, that is relaxing to watch. I am writing this so you don't go into "We Are" with the wrong expectations: it is a lot of silly fun at times, but it's more of a drama that simply wants to make you feel good.
Its whole plot can easily be summarized in a few words: two groups of friends connect with each other, go on small everyday adventures, and some of the friends fall in love with each other and have a lot of fun. So yes, no huge problems that stand in their way, instead you watch some great friends live their life and find their happiness along the way.
Now whether you will enjoy this drama or not depends very much on what you want to get out of it, what your expectations are. I started watching right before it had ended and binged all the episodes within a few days. I am the type of person who loves some fluffy content and who doesn't mind a more relaxed type of drama, and thus all of "We Are" very much appealed to me.
So what did I like? The positive portrayal of the friend group, the way they are so supportive of each other and their happiness. How even in their teasing you can see the fondness they feel for each other. Soft moments of understanding and romance that get mixed with the silly humour of some young guys who have known each other for some time. Some chaotic moments that end in more laughter. Great chemistry between the partners in each couple. The way that each couple feels different from each other: the teasing type of relationship, the lovey-dovey relationship, the slowly blooming type of relationship, a cat that falls in love with his puppy.

If you are the type of person who needs something positive in their life, something to lift you up when things get dark, I think this is the perfect type of drama for you. Just follow these friends along on their ride through university life, through their personal life, and it will give you a well deserved distraction, a massive boost of happiness.

DE LO MEJOR DE GMMTV!!

Siendo totalmente honesta, esta serie se ganó mi corazón por mucho. Toda la historia está tan bien contada, y a pesar de que no hay drama, los pequeños momentos donde vemos momentos amargos son bien estructurados y lo solucionan en un par de minutos. Esta serie te hace fantasiar entre sí es verdad o no que las amistades sinceras y honestas existen, al igual que un amor verdadero sin toxicidad; todo es perfecto. Me encanta el hecho de que no le hayan agregado drama innecesario, ya que lo que destaca en esta serie es su dulzura. Los ost de las parejas son fáciles y adictivas de escuchar. El cast lo hizo increíble y quede impresionada con las actuaciones (especialmente con Phuwin y Boom) ya que supieron transmitir tan bien lo que sus personajes sentían (en ciertos aspectos me llegue a sentir identificada con Fang) y el hecho de conectar con los personajes y actores hace que la experiencia sea más enriquecedora, incluso los actores se toman el tiempo de pensar en el más mínimo detalle (un ejemplo son los cambios de escenas donde los amigos se ven detrás y Tan cuida que Fang no se golpeé en su cabeza) a pesar de no ser enfocados, se centran en el más mínimo detalle. La cinematografía y la calidad al igual que el juego de colores dentro de la serie es algo agradable de ver porque no te cansas de mirar. Debo de agradecer a la GMMTV por traernos esta serie ¡¡lo mejor de la GMMTV de este año!!!

cute, wholesome and silly. what is there not to love?

I really had a great time watching We Are on a weekly basis. Every week, I was looking forward to the next episode just to see my stupid little guys again.

What I liked:
- What We Are does best are character interactions or the characters in general. I love all of them, even the characters with less screentime. Even outside of the couples the characters have amazing dynamics and interaction and it was just so much fun to see everybody talking to everybody. The characters are just one big friend group in the end and it really shows.
- All four of the couples were very strong. Tan/Fang was my personal favorite but I enjoyed all of them alot. The dynamic of Tan and Fang is just so insanely good and I had a huge grin on my face everytime they were on screen. Phum/Peem had the most screentime as the main characters and even though I was not sure how to feel about the whole "slave" thingy in the first two(?) episodes they really came back around fast for me. I wasn't really interested in Q/Toey as a couple but after they actually got together I really enjoyed their scenes as well. Chain/Pun were just amazing stand-alone characters but even as a couple (which we only got to see for a little bit) I really liked them.
- The whole f*cking vibe of the show is just soooo good. It just makes me feel better. Watching this big friend group falling in love and having a great time. God. I miss them.

What I disliked:
- I have to be very nitpicky to think of anything I didn't like but I guess some scenes felt a little repetitive towards the end.

The story of We Are is very simple and I personally really like that it doesn't try to be something it shouldn't be. Everyone who likes a good time: WATCH IT!!!!

My new comfort show! AouBoom main couple WHEN

Went into this show with basically no expectations but OMG I’m in love! I know people are getting annoyed with the “lack of plot” but honestly I’m loving everything about this show. I can admit that we could’ve had 12 episodes and nothing would’ve changed but sometime we need 16 episodes of fluff. I love all the relationships in this show and I ADORE the friendships. I’ve always said my school president is what I wished my high school life was and now We Are is what I wished my uni life was!

The casting is absolutely perfect and I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing these characters. Phuwin and Winny playing besties is everything and I need them in more shows together.

I know there’s A LOT of things in the novel that haven’t been mentioned in the show and I agree that it would’ve been interesting to see how they adapt those moments BUT I’m equally as happy with ignoring the angst and just having a cute, happy show.

I would give it 10/10 but the lack of ChainPun forced me to take off half a star ALSO GIVE AOUBOOM THEIR OWN SHOW
