Lol, love how I didn't see this for two months, but I really enjoyed 'We Are' so here's hoping you're still interested.

'We Are' is a real lowkey Thai drama that centers on a bunch of college students and their relationships with each other. One of the best things is it doesn't just focus on the romantic relationships but really explores the friendships between the characters and it ends up with a really sincere found family vibe. It's sweet but I thought it struck a nice balance of not being so sweet as to be annoying. There's some drama but never too much and it generally feels relatable. Also, it's fucking funny.

There's four main pairings, although some get more screen time then others. The central pairings that get the most focus are Peem/Phum and Q/Toey. Peem is the main character of the show, basically, so we see a lot of the show from his perspective and the romance between him and Phum is pretty central. It starts out a little rough, a little bit enemies to lovers because they meet when Phum fucks up an artwork of Peem's and Peem punches in the face. They end up being really sweet though, and I genuinely enjoyed watching them figuring each other out.

Q/Toey is the pairing that gets the second most screentime. I really liked them early on but their story suffers some serious pacing issues during the back half of the show. It's my one major complaint about the show, tbh.

Fang/Tan are my babies and I love them and their probably who prompted this ask. Their relationship is so, so well done and so sweet. They don't get a lot of screen time but they're my favorite part of the show and every moment they're on screen is great. Honestly recommend this show just for them, will never be over them.

Chain/Pun get the least amount of screen time, basically only crumbs. They have a great 'pining while almost literally married' dynamic tho which is fun to watch. I've never seen two characters more likely to get fake married for tax benefits while never realizing the other was in love with them the whole time.

And honestly the biggest theme of the whole show is the friendships, the love between this group of people who end up brought together by circumstance and choice and care about and support each other. The side characters who aren't in relationships get a good amount of screen time and even when Fang/Tan and Chain/Pun aren't getting time on screen developing their romances they are there for the friendship scenes.

It's just a very sweet show about growing up and finding friends and family and romance. I highly recommend it.

😱 A grave oversight!

Oh right.... yesss, in hindsight that chart missed quite a couple of things. 

So the third person term is 大姑子 da’guzi for husband’s older sister and 小姑子 xiao’guzi for husband’s younger sister. It’s a common speech term but I can’t remember if there is a “high class” version of this. I think it’s 大姑姐  da-gujie. It sounds classier than da’guzi. 

When you speak to your husband’s sister, most of time you just refer to them as jie (older sister)/zhangjie and mei (for younger sister). Younger sisters can also just be referred to by name

So because JYL is the oldest, and LWJ is fairly formal, he would call her “zhangjie”. 

In third person, when someone asks him “how are you two related?”  he can relay familial relationship by saying, “Jin-xiao-fu’ren is my da’gujie.”

Thank you!! Hope you like it!! 🎥⚙️🖱🎆

oh man, I *wanted* to like Black Sails but I only made it through a few episodes before I was like “nooooooooope” it was far too depressing and violent for my taste (plus all the characters made constant horrible decisions)
