Multi couple BLs often have the lack of screen time for each, like for example Y Destiny. We Are is a take on this genre. We are treated to 3 couples, with the 4th and a maybe 5th in the show. It did most the couples well, you can see their progression as to when and why they like each other. Most of them feels like real humans, with backstories fleshed out. Some would lament of the lack of adversity/ conflict in the show, but GMMTV knows what their audiences want: alot of FIN and fanservice scenes to make the fudoshi happy.
Peem and Phum did not suffer the first couple syndrome: they were indeed very relatable and likeable characters, they grew up as the series progressed and they became more mature about their feelings. Thats good. But the slow burn was real. Phuwin and Pond's acting did not improve much, they had difficulty showing complex emotions. Hopefully this will improve in future projects. I am a fan.
Q and Toey's story was less nuanced and Toey's crying scene was one of the more better acting-intensive parts of the show. I think their story is not well fleshed out. Their characters characterization is not consistent either: their conversations were not tight enough. There was never any tension. Are they supposed to be the prankster couple? or the dom Q and sub Toey couple? or what? It fluctuates as the story goes along. I blame the script.
Tan and Fang's story is well fleshed out, though we never knew when Fang really fell in love with Tan. We learnt as the story goes that he's very Tsundere, the dynamic between the both of them is great. I look forward to this couple in their future projects.
ChainPun's ending was quite funny and I was sad that they did not have more screen time. I wonder if all the extra fanservice scenes like the one at the Beach could have been used to further their story. I did not mind how they resolved this thread though. This show was a breakout role for Poon. He was great, acting as that oblivious guy.
Overall, a great multi couple BL.
