Within the realm of Thai GL dramas, which frequently have dramatisation and overdone confrontations, “US” is a gentle masterwork that perfectly embodies true love. This series is unique not in grand gestures or dramatic plot twists but rather in its dedication to depict a real, daily romance that feels achingly real.

Plot
“US” chronicles the love tale of two women from modest beginnings. While DokRak (Pattraphus “Bonnie” Borattasuwan) works at a coffee shop and as a pub singer after quitting school and leaving home, Pam (Thasorn “Emi” Klinnium) is a dental student who lost both parents and battles debt.
DokRak’s narrative starts with his first sight attraction to Pam. Over twelve episodes, we follow their path from bashful looks and unsaid emotions to a deep, dedicated partnership. The first six episodes deftly capture their mutual desire and inner struggles; episodes 7–8 erupt with lovely romance; and episodes 9–11 demonstrate how they support each other through life’s challenges. The last episode ends satisfactorially with a time leap illustrating their married life.
First seeming to be a simple love story exposes many layers: Pam visits the family looking for explanations regarding her parents’ deaths; DokRak is the daughter of a hospital director. Pam’s parents’ accident was indirectly caused by DokRak’s father, therefore generating the famous “I fell in love with my enemy’s daughter” conundrum. DokRak first supports her brother Kawi in pursuit of Pam despite her own sentiments.
Notwithstanding these possible dramatic aspects, the narrative always stresses connection above conflict. Instead of protracted misinterpretation, each difficulty is settled by discussion and understanding. This presents an interestingly mature picture of a partnership based on real concern and mutual respect.
DokRak embodies first love itself – clumsy, sincere, and utterly charming. She loves rainy days and getting soaked without an umbrella while listening to music. She’ll eat too many sweets just to have an excuse to visit Pam’s dental clinic. Her childlike enthusiasm and authenticity make her impossible not to love. Despite coming from a wealthy family, she chooses to live independently, showing her strength of character.
Pattraphus Borattasuwan (Bonnie), born January 27, 2004, is a Thai actress. Her breakthrough role came in the GL drama “US” where she played DokRak, winning audiences over with her natural charm and expressive performances despite her young age.
Pam begins as the “ice princess” – guarded and hesitant to trust after losing her parents. Her cold exterior hides a kind-hearted person who’s been hurt by life’s cruelties. Throughout the series, we see her gradually lower her defenses as DokRak’s sincerity melts her protective walls. Her journey from seeking revenge to choosing love and forgiveness forms the emotional backbone of the story.
Thasorn Klinnium (Emi), born April 25, 1998, is a Thai actress and graduate of Thailand’s University of the Arts. Known for her exceptional acting range and angelic singing voice, she gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Pam in “US,” where both her dramatic performances and vocal talents were showcased in the series’ soundtrack.

US The Series Review
Review
In Thai GL dramas, “US” accomplishes something rare: it conveys a whole tale with natural emotional growth, first-rate performance, and careful direction. Its emotional honesty is what distinguishes it rather than complex narrative.
Director Kanittha Kwunyoo, sometimes known as the “Saint Director” for her conviction that love conquers all, gives the show an artistic flair Her direction catches the special connection between ladies with gorgeous lighting and poetic framing, therefore adding art cinema quality to the performance. She is a lesbian filmmaker who knows the subtleties of queer female relationships free from predatory aspects.
The soundtrack effectively amplifies important moments. While theme songs “Kissin’ Out of Dream,” “Between Us,” and “More than Words,” all performed by the leads individually, “Like a Bird” placed during the drunken kiss scene in episode 3 is exactly where it belongs.
The way “US” presents a positive, healthy relationship is what really distinguishes it. Pam and Rak discuss their emotions freely; they don’t create misinterpretation. When confronted with obstacles in life, they naturally keep committed and guard one another. Many drama-driven shows in other series feature a different kind of portrayal of marriage than this matured one.
Though the plot seems straightforward, it conveys important lessons about forgiveness, letting go of the past, and valuing current happiness. Grandma sagely notes, “Life is a mixture of suffering and pleasure.” Though both too much misery and too much delight are unpleasant. Value the time you now have.
Best Scenes of US The Series
Though there are many unforgettable events in the show, many really touch me:
The Rain Scene (Episode 1)
Their first meeting creates their link via shared space and lingering looks.
DokRak’s Guitar Serenade (Episode 2)
Pam’s heart starts to accelerate while DokRak performs guitar and vocals, displaying the first symptoms of her developing love.
The Drunken Kiss (Episode 3)
Maybe the most classic sequence in Thai GL drama. Following DokRak’s inebriated revelation, Pam begs constantly not to hate her while rubbing her head against Pam’s chest till Pam eventually caves to her emotions. DokRak first pulls back in bewilderment before reacting to her impulses, so the kiss feels both expected but shocking. The scene creates a very close intimacy since it depends on heartbeats instead of communication.
The Watermelon Kiss (Episode 7)
Originally written as just “cutely eating watermelon,” the impromptu beautiful kissing sequence that highlights their natural chemistry evolved.
The Reunion at Grandma’s Funeral (Episode 12)
Pam’s emotions during her grandmother’s burial following time apart eventually shatter. Their hug, consoling words, and tears show the soulmates-level help they offer one another.
The “We’re Married!” Moment (Finale)
Four years later, a schoolchild asks whether they are a couple and boldly displays their wedding rings and says “We’re married!” This lovely moment also offers a soft vision of female equality.
EmiBonnie’s almost perfect improvisation in almost every intimate encounter suggests the actresses were acting from their instincts rather than from choreography. Their eye contact by itself sometimes feels like spiritual kisses; many moments show them peering at each other when the other isn’t looking.
