Episode 13

Phum (NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM aka POND) sincerely apologizes to Pheem (PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN)

Pheem opens up about being worried about Phum during his broken promise (daddy issues again) of not showing up to deliver Pheem's painting to the gallery.

Both boys admit the other is important to them and Pheem says those 3 little words...

We Are EP 3 Unhinged Tangent Thoughts

Back by popular demand??? i guess this is my thing now. sorry for the lack of screenshots but i watched this thang live and i'm not going to give IQYI 49 baht for just this one show. i'm cheap like that baby!

This aunt-newphew relationship is so delightful. pheem called her "Aha" this word is a gender neutral term for your father's younger sibling so the aunt is either that or a relative from pheem's father side of the family. also girl don't misgendered yourself.

So toey used his name as a first person pronoun, idk how to feel about this cause if this is real life he definitely gonna get make fun of for doing that. but it's BL and satang is a cutie patootie so, meh.

Tan is down so bad it's embarrassing. i need more scenes with these two asap. i love myself a good simp and aou is great playing one and he's definitely the strongest comedic actor in this cast.

150 baht for one cup of green tea!?! that shit better taste like nectar of the gods, i knew shits in bangkok are pricey but damn. anyway where in the story am i again oh right, phum and pheem oh boy these two, yeah i'm kinda not vibing with these two's plotline at all.

Insert rosa diaz meme here for pun. i can't with this boy 🤣wtf is this nonsense at the noodles shop, this boy is so dumb and pure (also kinda read like he's on the spectrum.) forcing a boy to blow the food you ate in YOUR MOUTH is legit the most unhinged BL shenanigan i ever witnessed. 10/10 no notes.

Winny put the guitar... put that down!, nyoooooo! welp atleast it ended quickly.

Ok, soooo yeah. this show definitely is mostly fluff with barely any substance. i'm glad that we get the apology from phun this fast so maybe thier dynamic might be a little bit more enjoyable in the future. i think this show at its best is when it focus on the friends group unfortunately there not a lot of that in this ep. as a person who really love slice of life manga/anime, i feels like this show could have been great as that, a slice of life show about dumb college boys with BL element. i hate saying this but some of the bl tropes definitely weighted the show down. i'm still vibing with the show and still very much want to stick around for aou and poon. hopefuly with the apology phum and pheem story will pick up the pace soon and we'll get to move on to other pairs.

Random thoughts about We Are episode 3:

If someone had told me I would like this series, I wouldn't have believe them. I'm surprised by myself, because I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. It seems like I'm still into "slice-of-life/uni" series.

▪️ Phum still enjoyed "torturing" Pheem by making him carry his shopping bags, washing his clothes or cooking for him. Pheem despite being reluctant always did all these tasks, but the childish prank Phum pulled on him was too much for him. Phum made him wait for him and Pheem did wait until the mall closed and was even worried about him. I guess Pheem is the type of person who care about everyone and even if he knew Phum likes to tease him, he never thought the prank could go this far. He is annoyed and very angry at him, but the power of a proper apology may work well on him. Indeed, Phum listen to his friends' advice and apologized. He was brooding a lot over the incident.

I believe he has so much more fun around Pheem that he thought he would. Now I'm wondering, did he fall for him before and used the "kick incident" to get closer to Pheem or is he enjoying so much the time he is spending with him that he will fall for him?

▪️ Q and Toey were very cute in this episode. We got more information about how Toey decided to join the Art field thanks to his crush to Q. I really liked the conversation he had with the owner of the cafe. Here and there, the series is giving some life advice and I really like when they are doing this. It's not groundbreaking advices, but I always feel better when seeing it and I believe they may have a good impact on other people who also watch it.

Q and Toey had a funny clay fight and I believe that's the moment Q started to feel something more.

He was very protective to Toey when a senior was flirting with him. Q is also willing to do anything Toey may ask even if he is reluctant at first: singing for him, sharping his pencils or giving him a snack.

We know Toey is already smitten but the slow burn Q is feeling is so nice to watch. I admit I liked the little "jealousy" part of the series. Funny how I hate people who jealous in real life, but I don't mind watching it in series.

▪️ Tan and Fang didn't get a lot of screentime in this episode. Tan bought a cake for Fang, but he didn't want to give it to him so he used Phum as a proxy. I don't think Fang is fooled by Tan's terrible skills at flirting. He knows! He must know! I want to see how he will react, now.

▪️ Pun and Chain had a longer appearance in this episode. They may not be in love (yet) but Chain is taking so much care to Pun. He is doing a lot for him and everyone can see it. They were invited by Tan to enjoy a meal outside and even Tan felt he was third wheeling. Poor Tan. I felt bad for him. Next episode should bring more for the two of them and I can't wait to see Pun and Chain's romance blooming. Pun is clearly my favorite. His little puppy look are just so cute.

▪️ I also want to say that I appreciate how friendships is also shown in the series. We saw how Phum asked for help from his friends, but also how Q care for Pheem even if he hides it under some pretense. Friendship is just another way to love someone. It may not be romantic, but it is a very strong link too.

I'm slowly falling for We Are the series. I hope I will stay interested until the end of the 16th episode!

Phum in episode 4: what's Pheem into? Apologies? I can apologise. I can be the apologetic-est.

Pheem in the background: ...?

Episode 5

Phum (NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM aka POND) has been showing a different side as his prank on Pheem (PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN) solicited many a apology.

Phum now uses their "slave contract" to get Pheem to join him for alone time.

After a friend group head out together (bring the art majors and the engineering majors plus Fang together) Phum and Pheem like Tan and Fang before them separate off on their own little dates.

Tan and Fang become the first of the four couples to become official.

But Phum and Pheem reach their first milestone, not yet a couple the two share a first kiss (not including the accidental kiss Phum landed earlier) initiated by Pheem.

Episode 1

Premiere on IQIYI (4-3-2024)

Asking for an apology for the accident seems reasonable...yes?

However Phum (NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM aka POND) flat out refuses.

Seemingly retreating Pheem (PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN)circles back and raises his foot into the groin of his new enemy.

Then Pheem quickly runs off as Phum drops to the field in excruciating pain.

Well now, this is not over..not by a long shot. So begins the enemy portion of enemies to lovers...

Episode 7

Hold The Phone. His name is Kluen according to MDL played by KARATI PUANGMALEE aka TITLE.

Planning to meet Phum at Phum's request, Pheem (PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN) calls Phum from a kiosk while buying a drink.

He is assaulted by Kluen...okay it wasn't assault just a case of mistaken identity. But smart Pheem uses the mistake to get a free drink from a stranger. As an apology of course but hey free is free.

That being said Title hasn't played an altruistic since Love By Chance in a BL.

Quick Recap: Be My Favorite Title played Knot, Pisaeng's asshole friend that was always up to no good.

In Hidden Agenda, Title played a guest role as Puen a guy that strung Zo along and broke his heart.

In Only Friends, Title played Atom. He lied and manipulated after getting f*cked by one night stander Boston.

And he's slated for roles in GMMTV'S Kidnap (OHM is back in BL without former partner Nanon but instead with Leng) and Perfect10Liners a JITTIRAIN NOVEL ADAPTATION by GMMTV.

So, looks like Kluen has his sights on Pheem. But his appearance in Episode 7 was super brief but he looked at Pheem with them seduction eyes and the smiles were wide.

Watch out Phum. Title doesn't do wholesome. Or perhaps he's a changed man.

Episode 4

Phum (NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM aka POND) has apologized repeatedly to Pheem (PHUWIN TANGSAKYUEN) and though Pheem seems to have accepted Phum is still feeling bad for his misdeed (just the one as he never apologized for ruining Pheem's first painting)

And the googly eyes have become quite a bit more googly.

Careful Phum, your asshole status is slowly being revoked.
