Cutie Pie (2022)

The plot was bad, but the chemistry was good

The only redeeming quality of this show was the fact that Zee and Nunew have great chemistry. Besides that, there's nothing special about this show and I was pretty bored for most of it.

The entire time you're waiting for single conflict to be resolved: the fact that Lian doesn't like Kuea's fake personality, and the fact that Kuea refuses to be his true self. Literally if they were just honest with each other, this show could be two episodes long. Instead, the conflict is drawn out way too long. The whole arranged marriage plot felt pretty odd, but I could get behind it if it made sense or helped the show move along. Instead, it's just this odd point that creates unnecessary drama between the leads.

THIS IS SUPERB I SWEAR!!!

I became a BL fan mainly because of 2gether Series. I was a newbie back then so I tried other BL series but can’t feel the satisfaction from what I felt from Bright Win. Then CUTIE PIE SERIES CAME OMG THANK YOU TIKTOK I SAW THIS ONE!!!

To be honest the story plot is common or not very unique but THIS IS SO SO GOOD, THE MAIN AND LEAD COUPLES, THE OSTs!!! I love Zee and Nunew!!! They’re so cute especially when they are together, I watched most of their behind the scenes and that was a lot of better than the series I SWEAR. Also the bond between the actors on and off cam, also the chemistry and short but so kilig interactions of Nuer and Syn!!!

I will definitely re watch this one!!!

I loved this

I'm pretty easy to please, but I don't know why people are hating on this drama. I enjoyed every minute of it. The only thing I had against it was that a couple of times it sounded like an ad for LGBTQ rights, but given Thailand's official position on the subject, I understand why it was included in the script, and I support their efforts.

I've enjoyed Zee's acting, but there were a few scenes where I'm pretty sure he wasn't acting. He could just be really good and get into his role, but you'll notice in some scenes that didn't involve crying that his nose still got red, and that is a natural response for him (as well as some people in general) when he is emotional. I'm not going to make assumptions on his feelings towards Nunew, as the fandom and shippers do enough of that. But for me, it added an air of realism to a drama I was already enjoying.

And, I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Nunew, so his acting and singing abilities really surprised me in a good way. I happen to love a drummer.....there wasn't enough of that.

Getting to see Boun and Prem was a bonus, because I truly enjoy their chemistry. They are one of my top fav couples.

My expectations were met!

Everything?! Was! So! Great!! The chemistry, the music, the acting! All 3 couples were amazing. Nuer and Syn were adorable. Hai Yi and Diao were questionable at times but turned out good. Kuea and Hai Lian were the best! Oh my God, they were incredible; their scenes! The communication, the consent, the Boun Prem comeo, FOEI!?!? And the humour! The pacing was excellent, the only thing I can compare it to would be 'HIStory 3; Trapped' but even then, Cutie Pie has its category because of the quick layers, like Trapped, but less action-packed? Cutie Pie flowed at a nice pace and had well-developed couples. The sexy scenes felt comfortable. Lian was caring and wasn't using sex as a way to be aggressive or dominant; it was a way to be closer to Kuea and show that Lian loves him. The way Kuea used his music as an outlet for what he was feeling and it felt genuine. It wasn't awkward to watch and gave more meaning to the show instead of feeling like a filler scene. Also, the cinematography was outstanding; some of those shots looked like they came from a Hollywood-level budget! I had a lot of expectations going into this and was so awed at how they were met and am so excited to see the BL world can evolve from college and lack of consent. I would highly recommend this drama.

(after rereading it not so) quick review

currently on episode 4, i dont really mean to write an accurate review of any sort, i just want to leave my impressions and what i think might be important for people who want to watch this drama. actually, it is overall pretty good: not cringe like other dramas (that are impossible to watch at times), the comedy is pretty enjoyable and i appreciated the actors' work too. i just think, as many other people, that the story/plot is quite questionable. they could have come up with different and better plot points to get the couples to spend time together, talk, etc. but even let alone the plot, the thing that bothered me the most is the justification of toxic relationships and lack of communication. like, it's honestly an above average drama from what i've seen so far and it could've been great if it wasn't for these things. and it wasn't even that bad from the beginning (you could expect a difficult situation that gets better later on) but like? they could have solved things? talked? communicated? instead of what they did, which didn't really solve the situation or just justified the toxic relationships further.
is it necessary to *flirt* all of a sudden to solve major relationship problems and show your affection or desire to be better and establish a better (sorry for the repetition) relationship? absolutely not. also the motives of the two business friends (let's call them that)? not even lame, but they do not excuse their behaviour towards their partners and don't even make up for their actions. they just give false hope to thei partners for feelings they don't even have for them, and then come up with the strangest and most fucked up shit to show them affection? like i realise that, at least hian felt love (be it romantic or brotherly) before and that his feelings are even stronger (?) now, but you decide to express them by forcing the person you are supposed to love to do things against their will? wow. also everyone treating kuean like a baby as if he wasn't an adult pisses me off. he can and must take his own decisions. and honestly, what's with the cliché couple of the soft short submissive (abused) boy and the alpha (abusive) business man? what the fuck?
they just could have solved the situation in a different way. i was actually enjoying watching this drama, it's just that these things really piss me off, more so because i expected more from it (like when i watch one and i notice from the beginning how it has bad quality in a lot of things i don't expect much and nothing surprises me).

edit:
AND DO I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE CASUAL MANIPULATION LIKE CMON WHAT IT THIS

edit n.2 while watching ep 5:
AM I LOOKING AT ABUSE RIGHT NOW??

edit 3:
the more i watch the lower my ratings are. i feel like they aren't as low as they should be because i've seen even *worse*.

OMG!!!!

I have to get this out of my chest

I love CUTIE PIE

The cast are amazing, funny especially Syu and Foei, okay okay the rest of kuea friends too

Kuea is so adorable, his confused expressions are always cute not to talk of when he starts singing and he changes his complete innocent look. Lian is sooooo hot, he looks like a mafia that smirk makes him look sexy. He actually looks like a vampire. Jist finished watching episode 6 and i literally screamed at the final scene of episode 6, That was one hot and steamy make out

I really love the songs, especially episode 5 when Kuea sang in the club and Lian was watching without his knowledge. That song reminds me of Just friends in Bad buddy. Either way it was awesome

The only reason why i can rewatch is just the singing parts. Although the story plot is kinda weird and funny. It like reading a wattpad story with the tittle "in love with a Billionaire" or "My billionaire Fiance" something like that. Oh! Neur is actually very cute, I'm anticipating him and Syu

Can't wait for the next episode tho

Best of The Best Ever

The series feels so fresh, the plot, the characters, the script are really very good, it leaves viewers wanting to see more, it's fabulous!

Finally started this after seeing a lot of good comments about this series and indeed I am impressed! This is just the part 1 of the pilot episode yet I feel so entertained already and I feel like this will be one of those rare times I already enjoy a show after seeing just one episode. Getting all excited and hooked with the mock trailer since last year and the wait for the official release were undoubtedly worth it.

Love the camera shots, color grading, and the editing verry good, the show is instantly set with a funny mood which I believe is the intention. Zee is so handshome, charming, cool (like a sugar daddy). Also, Nunew is so adorable. Can't wait to see more of him.

Toxic and disappointing, lacks storyline

I was so disappointed with this series... They were fishing for a storyline that wasn't there and it made 0 sense. Both couples are so toxic, you shouldn't be afraid of your partner, and afraid of what? As if being interested in music for example is a terrible thing. They're pretending like he's a serial kiler for god's sake. Them having an arranged marriage just makes no sense. So many secrets for no reason what so ever. They are adults and it doesn't make sense that these things can't be solved or communicated. I don't even want to waste my energy writing a complete review, just would not recommend. I couldn't even finish the whole show, I was nearly disgusted, bored, annoyed and so disappointed. The only thing I liked about it was the music.
