Cutie Pie (2022)

I don't know how to feel abt this

Arranged marriage is not my favourite trope, sometimes it could work out. I don't think it did this time. Kuea's love for Lian felt forced after the heartbreak he had over Hia "not loving him". I don't really see the " fell first but fell harder" on this one. Not gonna lie the plot was such a mess. Yi and Diao had so many unsolved problems and misunderstandings but always "solved" them by making out. However I am rooting for Zee and New and hoping their new roles in The Next Prince suit them more. I hope that drama will be better in general. I'm not saying Cutie Pie was trash but it wasn't the best. I can't ignore the fact that it was my introduction into Thai dramas so I cannot just talk shit about it. I think there would be many more ways to face difficulties as couples in many times of the series. I hope both pairs of actors work out better in other dramas. <3

ZeeNuNew is obviously one of the top BL couple's of all time! And the cutest couple in real life!

We got ZeeNuNew the cutest couple in the world, and the chemistry between Zee & NuNew is soooo good! For this to be NuNew's First ever BL am beyond shocked of how good he is at portraying the emotions of his character. And to have Zee to do all of this whit must be the best feeling ever! And me like everyone else who have watched Cutie Pie became a ZonZon fan. and might or might not be watching tooo many compilation's a day!

But let's just pretend that this couple dont just make us depreesed single people feel soo lonly and broke at the same time And if you have not watched heard of Cutie Pie 1&2 or Zee and NuNew idk where tf you have been or on what new undiscovered planet🌏 But you need to watch it if you haven't done so yet.

And yee i might have just been hyping this one up cuss i love it! So just watch it and make your own conclusion. And if you dont like it well to bad sunds like a you problem!

Very Good but could be improved.

5/10

Negative:

1. I would have liked to see a real lovescene, but unfortunately there wasn't one. It was not shown so much.
2. Kuea kept looking at Lian bit annoyed and kept saying his Name very often. That bothered me a lot. It was a bit too much!
3. That Lian has not said from the beginning that he knows that Kuea > Kirin is and that he has no problem with it then the proposal of Lian would not have gone in the pants and there would be no stress.
4. I wanted to see more of the other Couples (Lovescene, Kissing). I didn't think there was enough.


Positive.

1. I liked the Couple:-)
2. The Kissing of the Maincouple was very good with Passion.
3. Music
4. Story
5. Liked the other Couples.
6. Acting was really good
7. Many Kisses of the Maincouple. Thanks God!!

KISSING SCENES ARE HOT BUT NOT ENTICING

"Cutie Pie" isn't worthy to be titled as it is. Yes, Kuea is literally cute but his character doesn't show it entirely in the entire 12 episodes.

The story talks about the importance of love, trust and marriage. Love and trust must always be in harmony. Same-sex marriage isn't fully acknowledged by law in most countries in the world. In this series, Kuea doesn't want marriage without love. He also finds that love is hard to believe when trust isn't there. Lian, on the other side, isn't a romantic type of person. They are bound to marry someday but their meaning of marriage is different. Last of all, they both have secrets that they are keeping.

The story of two boys who got engaged at the very young age was really exciting at the early episodes but the flow miserably failed as the story goes further. There are too many skips to mention in the entire series. The kissing scenes are just like watching porn, no romantic value at all. THIS IS NOT THE ACTOR'S FAULT actually but how the story pushed them is what makes the scenes a skip. The scenes felt unnatural, missing the emotions of the viewers.

The actors and their acting are quite good though. I always have fun watching the Automotive Eng'g group. They should've been given more scenes.

Overall, this is an average drama. There are no relevant parts that would make this recommendable to my friends.

This is what I get for thinking Zee is really pretty

I will preface by saying that I'm not really a fan of mainstream Thai BL for multiple reasons, but watching "Why R U?" altered something in my brain and I might be terminally in love with Zee. Which was my main reason for watching "Cutie Pie".

Before you continue reading - yes I have watched the entire show (without skipping any scenes, though looking back I wish I would've skipped all the Yi\Khondiao scenes), but....... On 2x speed. After trying to power through the first episode "normally" I just couldn't bear it anymore. I have slowed down back to normal on the prominent Lian\Kuea scenes but other than that, my expectations were horrendously low so I didn't see a point in being properly invested in the show.

Now for the good parts:
- Acting! Nunew, who was in 90% of the scenes, did great with what he was given. Sometimes he was given really really bad stuff but he still managed to make it look as honest as possible and he gets huge kudos for that. He was never cringier than the script and I truly enjoyed watching him. Zee, my love, was great at what he does - being pretty and in love. He was always really pretty and he's exceptionally good at acting in love so he did not disappoint me in those areas.
- Chemistry! Needless to say, Zee\Nunew are great, and the supposed confirmed IRL nature of their relationship was also a convincing factor for me to watch the show. I get it! I truly get it.
- Some "progressive" parts, like a scolding for "are you angry because you're on your period" and the reccuring talk about the legal status of same-sex marriage in Thailand in a show centered around a (future) same-sex marriage. (Though the "love who you love" falls short when you realize that we're still kinda talking about an arranged marriage here. Also, the beginning\ending speeches were out of place to me and I feel like the show didn't actually get that point across at all. And as they say, actions speak louder than words so it was really unnecessary to me)
- The Boun\Prem cameo which reminded me I should check out "Between Us".
- The scene with "The cauliflower looks yummy" - "It's broccoli" - "I can't cook" - "It's okay". Peak cinema.

The bad parts:
- The plot? For the life of me could not explain to people what the show was about. Even the premise is a bit confusing. They're in an arranged engagement but they're childhood besties but they don't really talk more than once a week but they love each other but now one has decided that he doesn't and. Again I watched it on 2x speed and some episodes just had nothing happening in them which was a bit insane. Nothing really moved and nothing really changed and Lian\Kuea fought out of nowhere and reconciled really quickly every time and it was just. Unsatisfying. The last episode almost went into a really cute, IMO, direction, and then it was ruined again by the sameeeeeee dynamic, again. And it basically ended at the same place it started, but Now Kuea Wears A Leather Jacket In Front Of Lian.
- Everything about Yi\Khondiao, and just Yi in general. To say he's controlling is an understatement. Showing us how Khondiao is literally scared of him in certain scenes was supposed to make me what, coo at how "fiercely protective" Yi is? They didn't even explain their whole backstory properly, either letting me piece together the hints or just saving it all for the spinoff (which I'm not watching if it's the last show on earth). I hated their dynamic, I hated their acting, they don't have any chemistry and don't look good together. To think that some people believe this to be a normal relationship in any way is genuinely concerning to me. (I even hated every scene Yi and Lian had together because they just seemed like bad friends to each other)

The songs I simply did not care about so I don't have anything bad nor good to say about them. I also expected to like Syn\Nuer more but I didn't, mostly because it felt like it came out of nowhere. The comedy was also not funny to me most of the time. Just a lot of things about this show were very wattpad-y, in a bad way.


In short, would not suggest it to anyone unless they're insane about Zee Lire davantage

So cute! Definitely rewatching

The chemistry in this series is off the charts. Plus, the production is amazing. It’s not the type of plot I’d usually go for, but somehow it won me over because it’s one of my favorite BLs! The underlying message of being yourself in a relationship is really deep and sweet. However, somewhere in the writing or editing, they made a misstep because the first episode, or first 2 or 3, were a bit confusing. It took finishing the series then rewatching later to figure out what the characters were thinking/feeling at the beginning. Still, I suggest you keep watching until the end. I’m eagerly waiting to see what else this director and ZeeNunew make in the future!

Cute But Messy

To start this fiasco, I'm gonna say I'm ZeeSaint all the way BUT ZeeNew was satisfying...in the romance department.
Anyway, other than the romance this was crazy toxic! Everything would be going smooth and something so simple would blow everything out of proportion and they'd start over (in the same episode) lmao. When it was cute it was super cheesy and sweet but when it was bad, it didn't take much to bring it down. I wanted more from the side couples but I'm pretty satisfied with what I got. I saw quite a few familiar faces and the new ones were just as cute :)
The rating I'm giving is strictly cause of the romance and visuals. I'd recommend if you want some dramatic romance, but if you're looking for something wholesome TURN BACK! I had a really hard time getting over the back and forth love hate bratty whiny attitude from specifically our MC.
The ending had me blushing and internally screaming!!!
Enjoy...

yes, the plot is an absolute mess & objectively speaking, the show does not deserve a 9, and yet...

cutie pie is one of those shows that you inexplicably KNOW is objectively so-so, but you can't help but love it all the same because it's got so much heart and it's so lovingly made. my rating of the show is so totally biased because of me adoring it to bits lol, but i do still think it's a show that most can enjoy IF they go in with the right expectations:
the show is largely meant to be a fluffy romcom, so please watch it accordingly- expecting perfectly logical plot points and character motivations or developments is not the way to go about it <3 if that's not your thing, then please direct your attentions elsewhere!
if that does seem like the kinda thing you'd enjoy, though- if you want a bit of adorable, harmless fun and romance, then i suspect you'll enjoy cutie pie just alright!

Cutie, sexie, and avoids being overdramatic

I feel like 9 out of 10 BL rely on misunderstandings that don't make sense and are usually blown out of proportion to the point that you roll your eyes.
Cutie Pie doesn't do that.

There aren't accidental misunderstandings. They're all on purpose because the characters made intentional choices to control how they're perceived. And the conflict comes from the consequences of those choices.

The two main couples have decent chemistry both in talking with each other as well as skinship. Any moments of awkwardness feel intentional because of the characters'situations.

This isn't the absolute best acting or story as far as holding up to my top rated shows. But this show is better than most of the BL you come across.

The most important thing to me is that i can feel the characters'desire develop for each other and that came through to me in both couples.

This journey is worth watching if you're looking for good romance.
