So excited when this come out. The trailer look very interesting & entertaining. Many familiar face & couple as usual, so not so much surprising about the pairing...

Story about 4 couple & at first 2 group of friends. Peem & Phum, Toey & Q, Tan & Khaofang (Fang), and lastly Pun & Chain. Their originally from 2 group of friends, Peem's friend & Phum's friend, but by the end of this drama they all merge into 1 big group of friend.

The story begin with the fight between Peem & Phum. And with Tan as the middleman to merge each group, their journey begin... Ep 1-10 is pretty much to establish their friendship, we get to know each character. From ep 11-16 is when the relationship get deeper. Especially Peem - Phum & Toey - Q.

1st couple. Peem & Phum
The story begin with the fight between Peem & Phum. Phum who accidentally messed with Peem's painting but didn't want to apologize, made Peem's angry & kick Phum in the nut. That incident pissed Phum & made him decided to give Peem lesson by made Peem become Phum's slave. And with that, their wheel of story begin...

Because of Peem become Phum's slave, Phum got close to Peem & got to know him. Phum got to know how genuine Peem with his feeling & his friendship. Yeah Peem is one good & positive man, he's not really pissed with Phum who made him his slave, but Peem act as Phum's friend. And Phum's who raise with money, didn't met many people with genuine friendship. That made Peem become special in Phum's eye. And of course slowly but sure, their feeling become special to each other.

2nd couple. Toey & Q.
Toey is Q's mantee or junior. And from the very first ep, we already can see how Toey looked at Q with admiration eye. Q on the other side is still not sure. Although slowly but sure we can see that Q also have special feeling for Toey. Especially when their friend tried to made Q jealous by making Toey has special bond with Chain.

3rd couple. Tan & Khaofang (Fang).
The story open with Tan who had feeling with Fang, Phum's brother. We see how he tried to persue Fang through Phum. And soon we see Fang also return Tan's feeling & they become couple.

4th couple. Pun & Chain
The slow Pun with Chain. Really cute yet frustated with this couple. Through out the entire drama, we can see how they treat each other special, yet nothing happen until the last episode. Haha...

That's pretty much about the drama. Now let's discuss what I like & don't like...

What I like:
+ All the couple is so adorable...
+ They're not only tell story about each couple, but also a little about family. Epecially Phum's family
+ I like they really take time to establish each relationship & the progress of each couple. Epecially Peem - Phum & Toey - Q.
+ Not only focus about each / one particular couple. But still also them as a group of friends. This the 2nd time GMMTV with interesting drama that's also focus with group of friend.
+ Nothing jealousy over the top & no over protective...
+ The good music...

What I don't like:
- Too much episodes. Usually GMMTV only has 12 ep max, this has 16 ep. Yes their couple is much more than usual, but 16 ep still a bit much. They sometimes prolong the event.
- Sometimes Tan is a bit much for me, the way he act around Fang, make it become annoying

Overall I really happy with this drama...

Got me laughing out loud

I definitely came for PondPhuwin but I stayed for the fun chemistry of the group. I’m glad to see AouBoom again.
To be honest I wasn’t a big fan on Winny at first. In the beginning his character felt lacking. He always seems to have this look on his face like he’s got no thoughts going on back there lol. Satang is one of my favorites so they cancel each other out I guess hahaha. However, Winny and Satang have grown on me and Winny’s character Q definitely gets better towards the end. I might even dare say he’s one of my favorites.

Honestly when the directors have Phuwin act “mad” it’s a bit awkward to watch (don’t hate me, I love him) but when his character Peem is just talking to Phum, he really shines. Honestly Phuwin and Ponds chemistry is just off the charts. But honestly they have better chemistry better off screen lol. The directors had to have told Pond and Phuwin to pull back bc they weren’t chemistrying like they were chemistrying in Never Let Me Go.

I really like Marc and Poon together. I wished we got more of them together. I really didn’t like how Goofy they had Poon’s character at first but he grew on me.
The group as a whole have such warm vibes and natural chemistry and it’s expected when a group of friends enjoy their job and each other!

We Aren't

Overall, this is not a good series. It is simply too long. It droned on and on for no reason with the same old storylines. This story is cute. Certainly not deep. Entertaining for sure. Fluffy and sweet. Predicable and boring a lot of the time. There are way too many pairings of relationships and way too much idealism shown. What it did do right and what it should have concentrated on was the camaraderie of the group of friends. It is rare to have such a solid group of friends who know they are in the last throws of all of them being together before life has other plans for them. It could have been a much better story if it reflected more on the dynamics of friendships among friends. That would have been a good story instead of the contrived ‘love pairings’ that they thought we needed to see. There was a lot of great screen chemistry between the actors.

We are…

… definitely not telling a gripping story. Really the storyline could be summarized in one sentence. But „We are“ was a super satisfying watch that felt like sipping a sweet green Thai iced tea. Was it complex, hell no, did it make me smile all the time, hell yes!
So if you are looking for something stressfree, dramafree (because we cannot call that one problem dramatic) and comforting go watch it

Looks like American sitcoms

So far I liked this show, it reminds me those American sitcoms with many characters and comedy. I like the idea of long BL series as far as they interesting and entertaining. Looking forward for more episodes, hope they’ll keep the mark high.
1. Love my PondPhuwin, their chemistry is on high level as always.
2. WinnySatang were fire couple in MSP, they have potential to become bigger, hope this show make them more popular.
3. AouBoom: I saw these guys in Vice Versa and Hideen Agenda and they were cute, so i wish them more fame and higher popularity.
4. MarcPoon: I liked Marc in Dangerous Romance and it’s sucks that he had to change partner so suddenly, but I hope that he’ll have a good chemistry with Poon. Wish them luck!

Looking forward for new episodes!

Man that dragged forever

A typical turn off your brain GMMTV show with shallow, lazy writing, only one story arc quite interesting and an abundace of overall childish scenes which were not funny at all (and no soundeffect will help it).

Even when a setting is located around students, they should have some more mature attitudes even when some childish elements have it's place, but they overdid them.
So for me it was a very disspointing show especially for the lead characters because their story run in circles.

This show in only half the episodes would have been even better because it dragged on for too long. The only highlight was Winny and Satang (Q and Toey) with an interesting arc. So, for me, it's a medicore show, most of the time nothing interesting happend. I was disappointed in the director who can deliver much better shows, I expected tons of annoying soundeffects and the lackluster kissing in many scenes in a thai BL show.

....apparently bl boys be doing por*n

Now that I've grabbed your attention. Kindly continue reading

Storytime
Last week, I nearly cussed out a user. Actually I did cuss her out but later couldn't find the comment again so i assumed my reply wasn't sent and she deleted the comment. Something in the lines of her saying this show was slow burn and the rest of us that thought the 16 episodes were too excessive wanted them to be doing aerial and undersea acrobatics in bed and every surface that they could maneuver their bodies unto and we should stop complaining cos not every bl show was not a sport segment on por*n hub. I broke into maniacal laughter because at that point I'd lost my mind around the 3rd part of episode 12. Then I cussed her out, asking her if she was implying that bl actors whom did se*x scenes were doing por*n? Now I'm wondering if the comment was actually censored due to my colourful wordview and beautiful arrangement of words and phrases. That earnestly told her to kiss my ass*ets.

Are they people that complain unnecessarily about shows? Yes there are. Are they people that boycott shows due to the actors or ships they don't support? Absolutely. Are a lot of slowburn bl shows that are criminally underrated because of the minimal amount of se*x scenes? A 1000% yes. But you see this show right here? Guilty as charged

Now let me be fair, This how has a lot of eyecandy....... Yeah now back to the criticism. This is according to the comment section supposed to be slice of life, comedy about friends whom want to be more than friends. Good premise Okay now these friends are in the university and are all attractive and tall, okay we're getting interested ,now there's not one or two but 4 pairs of couples with an additional twist of a love triangle??? Omona I'm ready, i was ready so i waited and binged the first 6 episodes not knowing that it was actually 16 episodes? 16 episodes you say???! Think of all the possibilities of how these love stories will pan out. And that ladies and gentlemen is when the gaslighting began. For you see, By ep 6 everything was nicely wrapping up. About 3/4 of the CPs were acknowledging their feelings and it was looking good. So I asked myself why is this drama 16 episodes not 12.? When it is not Queen of Tears...oooh that means something big must be coming up.
And so I was roped in, everyweek waiting for something else to happen awondering why a show with 4 couples became a Pondphuwin fanfic cosplay and the others were having only 8 minutes of screen time in a 40 minute per episode drama. So naturally I complained that this show has pacing issues but apparently according to the comment section, I don't know what "slice of life" means and this is "slowburn", as this show is clearly demonstrating. So I was told if this isn't my cup of tea I shouldn't watch it. While they simultaneously praised it as being so good and omagahh the best show ever.

Ha. I removed my headphones and held my head, 10 minutes into ep 14. This show is not the worst I've seen but it is frustrating me to tears because they had me invested, raised my hopes, they dashed it everyweek. But I shouldn't complain? Make it make sense

Summary
1. The acting: PondPhuwin. sweet baby J.christ enough! Enoughhh of them. Puwin looking like he's smelling garlic whenever pond or phum is in his
vicinity. Pond is not a...great actor. His definitely in need of improvement.
2. The pacing: Dragging the same problems for 4 episodes but not resolving them unless there's a kiss involved? Why are you wasting all that screen time, just to have phuwin squeeze his face more than half the time.
3. The setting. These are supposed to be college aged boys. Why is everyone behaving like preschoolers? Isn't it disconcerting to see somebody who was literally behaving like a child suddenly gets kissed or do the devil's tango???! I thought this was slowburn why is everyone kissing around the place. Slice of life? What problems are they solving, what issues are they addressing? Peem being a sla*ve? to some rich boy? or the unrequited love floating arounnd the air?
4. Why do y'all care about chainpun so much? The chemistry is not even there. They didn't give them enough screentime to do anything except literally stare into each other's eyes.
5. The promise: This could've been something really good. But it was ruined in a very obvious attempt to promote these ships. Business is Business and they have loyal fanbases.
6. Team Kluen.

In conclusion, I need more sleep.

Something Crucial Is Missing But I Can't Figure Out What

When I started this series, I was convinced it was going to be my favorite BL of all time. And for two months or so, it was. The characters talk out their issues and seem very realistic. The friend group is a vibe and is consistently vibing. They play a lot but they also work a lot, and hard. They have aspirations and pasts. They're very well-rounded. The amount of cute and the way it was done had me damn near to tears (the confession scene with TanFang? Cant even think about it without tearing up. Peak cute in the most non-suffocating way.) Even though the opening premise kind of fell to the wayside faster than I expected considering the amount of episodes, I wasnt mad about it. The acting was believable to good at times and I was enjoying myself immensely. A lot of past tense there.

Somewhere around the halfway mark, the episodes started to drag. The plot thinned, which was impressive since it was never thick to begin with. Each episode seemed to contain more "cute moments of X CP" reels and less story. Montage, montage, montage. Peem went from refreshing me to irritating me with his back and forth, push and pull. The slow burn of it all really got annoying because it wasnt actual slow burn, it was just confusing. Phum and Peem kiss like four times, and circle each other constantly, and obviously like each other, but then, 75% through the series, Phum is going to START flirting with Peem?? What were the last 11 episodes for??? They'd BEEN flirting since episode one. Constantly. At first, We Are seemed mature and fun (which is a hard combo to achieve tbh), but it started to feel more juvenile than anything. That's not to say it's bad, but it's certainly nowhere near as good as it begun.

Personally, I dont care about slow or fast burn, or NC scenes, or kisses, or what have you— I care about plot and, even for slice of life, this didn't have enough of it to warrant 16 episodes. I enjoy watching relationship building in context with plot. This series should have been, at absolute max, 13 episodes. Episode 13 is when I finally felt truly tired of it (specifically, I felt like I was forcing myself to tune in), but after watching that much I figured why not hold out to the end? There are several episodes that feel like filler. Or at least primarily filler with one plot point to sticky tape the whole thing together. Between that and the amount of times I got deja vu thinking something had been handled only for the characters to say, "nah lets run this shit again actually," I was hoping they'd jam a lot more plot into the last three episode, even if it felt rushed, but no dice.

I am halfway through episode 15 and I gotta drop this. Which is insane considering how far I got, but I'm barely even watching anymore. Its boring. I love slice of life. I enjoy mature characters. Tin Tem Jai is one of my favorite series— I definitely don't need things to go crazy to have a good time, but it just isn't holding my attention at all. It feels like somethings missing but I cant articulate what. Its like trying to remember a smell– uncanny, frustrating, and really difficult to explain. Tbh, the only characters I still love and might return to watch the rest for is TanFang. If the later episodes were replaced with a more in depth showing of how they got together, I wouldnt complain, but as is, We Are ended up just being kinda mediocre to me. I recommend the hell out of the first half and do not recommend the second half literally at all.

What's the point?

I'm not going to say it's a bad series, I'm just going to say it doesn't interest me. Student love stories we've seen 1,000 times before, often done better. There's absolutely no story. The slave thing doesn't hold up for 5 minutes, and it's quickly forgotten. The secondary couples are a real pain to watch.

The couples could be formed quickly, but the characters take their time excessively, because they have to last 16 episodes. If the script has reached this point, it's because there isn't one!

The fan-service BL which is overrated and nothing actually happen

Some of you think it's a healing BL,some also find a bit boring...but how can it be enjoyable when the whole storyline is dragging,embarrassing and above all,super weird???These are the weirdness I found while watching the whole damn 16 eps.
-NO PLOT,RANDOMLY FLIRTING AND THEN LOVE
I didn't see the RIVALS TO LOVERS between Phum and Peem as some of you talked about.They're forced to met each other eventually,flirting and kissing since episode 5 and still haven't think about anything more than friends until ep 10+....Same with the other couples,their love is too obvious,no process and the whole flirting thing is nothing but embarrassing.They've kissed and flirted so much but I just didn't feel anything romantic and funny here.
-HANGING AROUND,ACTING CHILDISH AND PARTYING ALL DAY
They're at university already but playing and acting like kindergarteners especially Toey...The university setting make no sense,as there is nothing about their studying life,even 1st grade students learn more than them...I wish I could have a comfortable life like them?Easily graduate just by talking nonsense all day and hanging around that much????
-POOR WRITING,EDITING AND REPETITIVE MUSIC
There is no character development in the series,the director have nothing to do but make their speech dragging and slow to make it 1hour/episode...Nothing bad happen to the leads childish friendship and love,they're just exaggerated small problems and solve it within an episode.The osts are randomly turn on out of nowhere which make their romance scenes more strange to watch,the directors and editors probably didn't even think if the music suit that scene or not,I'm struggling to finished the series for this as one of the reason.
I feel that the characters all have gone insane to be that childish and there is no sense in making the series 16 eps long when there is no development.I'm PPW fan and I've watched all of their BLs and non-BLs.I don't blame the casts for the project,I just feel disappointed that their acting potential and chemistry are wasted for this.People who loved and said the series is good probably just because of the cast and their previous series...Overall,there is nothing good about the romance in this series,just fan-service things....as the casts already have strong fanbase to enjoy this nonsense plot??

Modern, real, entertaining and, above all, addictive

Although the series begins on a somewhat dramatic note, with two university students involved in a fight that leads to the inevitable hospital medical attention of one of them after receiving a blow, the story, in a fast, colorful and fun way, shows us, in tone of a youthful romantic comedy, one of the love plots between boys, set in a university, like the ones we are used to in BL series.
After the painting that is ready to be sent to an exhibition after sleepless nights becomes useless when it is hit by a soccer ball, Pheem will confront Phum, the extroverted, brilliant, stubborn and popular, but arrogant college soccer player, guilty of the in a bad way, and in a fit of anger he hits him.
Phum then demands compensation from him. But since the mischievous and playful second-year Fine Arts student, who dreams of one day having an art gallery in which to exhibit his own works, cannot pay the medical bills, they will ask him to be at their service and attend to all their needs. whims. But there will be a pact between the two: "No one will ever be able to know that one is a slave and the other is a master."
But Pheem will also demand that the "punishment" not last two months, but until he finishes redoing the damaged painting.
Thus begins the story of Pheem and Phum, the protagonists of the Thai series 'We Are', an adaptation of Parawi's novel of the same name.
When the future civil engineer, embarrassed by having been beaten in front of others, begins a plan of revenge against Pheem, at the same time as his demands as a master increase, his feelings begin to slowly grow.
The world is small and a university is even smaller. Being students at the same university, faced every day in their status as master-slave, leads the two young people to collide with each other again and again until both boys fall in love.
Phum's affectionate and tender behavior, the constant emission of "doubtful" vibrations, the sexual tensions created around the two, have not gone unnoticed by Pheem, who feels attracted to his "master" from the moment he meets him known.
In that daily struggle of who dominates who, underneath everything, the two have begun, perhaps without realizing it, as an involuntary act, to take care of each other.
Through the eyes of Pheem, the main narrator, the viewer will be able to enjoy the birth and evolution of the romance between two a priori incompatible people who, however, enter into a love relationship that, like all relationships, has a lot of imperfections, but this It will not discourage them in their efforts to find happiness side by side.
The main plot follows this young man in his university years, in which, surrounded by his friends, who are other young people his age, he discovers love for the first time and also himself.
Likewise, we see that a new character is introduced, Kluem, who will show to be interested in Peem. His appearance will provoke jealousy in Phum, but it will help him recognize in himself the feelings that he slowly develops every day for the arts student.
The main arc of the series begins in the usual youth romantic comedy style, with the boys' characteristic pranks; studies, which sometimes we are terrible at; falling in love, which in many cases is the first in life; coming of age, the transition from adolescence to early youth, the joys and difficulties that young people must face, friends who ignore us or, on the contrary, annoy us to no end, but are always present with his wise advice; the song that seems to save us time and time again from "sinking", the parents who do not understand us, the work that will come (or not) in the future, the differences in social classes... all these themes used mainly in function to provoke laughter, but also to make you reflect.
Starring PondPhuwin, a ship formed by actors Naravit Lertratkosum, who plays Phum, and Phuwin Tangsakyuen, in the role of Pheem, whom we have already seen together in 'Fish Upon The Sky', 'Never Let Me Go' and more recently In 'Our Skyy 2', the drama brings us characters with the classic cliché of "strangers to friends and friends to lovers." Phum and Pheem are two beings who are finding themselves and discovering their most intimate desires.
But theirs will not be the only romance. In addition to Phum and Pheem, as a plus, we have the expected secondary romance between WimmySatang, a couple made up of Thanawin Pholcharoenrat (Winny), as Q, the mentor, and Kittipop Sereevichayasawat (Satang), as Toey, the apprentice, who in 'My School President' left us wanting more.
Q, Pheem's best friend and who likes to sing in a night bar, has been Toey's inspiration to decide to study Fine Arts. Secretly, he has been in love with the final year student of that major for some time. Admiring his talent and personality has led him to love him, but Q is unable to see the signs that are constantly coming to him. Will Toey have the chance to confess his love? Has Q really been so blind? These two will also have an agreement: Q will demand from Toey: "Don't tell anyone that you are my apprentice."
And also a third BL romance, that of AouBoom, a duo made up of Thanaboon Kiatniran (Aou), as Tan, the cheerful Engineering student, and Tharatorn Jantharaworakarn (Boom), as Khaofang, a sensitive and shy young man from the Faculty of architecture. In this relationship, Tan will ask Phum to help him flirt with his brother in exchange for the location where he can find Pheem. And Phum, despite initially telling him that he is not the ideal boyfriend for his brother, will agree to help his friend in order to take revenge for the humiliation received.
There will also be a fourth romance: that of MarcPoon, the duo made up of Natarit Worakornlertsith (Marc), as Shane, and Poon Mitpakdee, as Pun. This relationship deepens as the two friends grow closer and get to know each other even more as they try to trick Q into believing that Shane is in love with Toey, in order to get him to declare his love. Although these three couples are secondary, they manage to win the hearts of the viewers.
The series highlights the different side of each of the four couples, their journey of discovery and acceptance. The eight young people will not fail to make you fall in love. As you get to know the four couples and see how the relationship between them evolves, you will be able to decide which one has stolen your heart the most and why.
These friends are what any human being would need to accompany them on a journey to discover falling in love and sex.
Although in principle it reminds us of other productions of this type, Thai fiction forges its own path of authenticity. In addition, it stands out for the construction of the characters that enchant from the first moment and the way the story is portrayed.
Although 'We Are' plays with the most modern ideas to portray teenagers in fiction, each of them enjoys a unique authenticity and demonstrates the sensitivity of Siwaj Sawatmaneekul (New), director, screenwriter and actor, to write their journeys of self-discovery. There are no "token" characters here, used in many television shows to call themselves diverse. We see young people exploring love and sexuality outside of heteronormativity.
We are faced with one of those series capable of attracting passionate followers around the world for its frank and sensitive representation of what today's teenagers face: first love, life at university, sex, self-discovery, most of all of age, youth traumas, inclusion, sexuality, neurodiversity and the best friends who help them get ahead.
With a vast body of work within the genre, with titles such as 'Love by Chance', 'Until We Meet Again' and 'Make It Right', among many others, New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul gives us one of those romantic and fun series with very good characters outlines that hook the public immediately.
Modern, real, entertaining and, above all, addictive, this series joins others with themes of first youth and first love, with the university as its setting, which has always had a negative connotation, since many ( (not to say all of us) it is difficult for us to admit that we have become hooked on some of these dramas, due to their ability to entertain the viewer from beginning to end.

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.
