Naughty Babe (2023)

i was waiting this for a long timeeee since cutie pie, i fall in love with YiDiao Storyline and immedietly brought the novel cause i can’t wait anylonger to know their completed story, when i found out Domundi gonna made NB as a series I WAS SOOO EXCITED even it was postponed, i’m still waiting patiently

I Dare to say this cause actually the storyline is heavy and complex, the story filled with family issues and their relationship itself is very interesting and rarely found in other BL, the author makes it impossible to actualize it into a series in terms of luxurious facilities, Hi Yi's complicated work until the beginning of the story how Diao becomes traumatized by a tiger attack, i was crying mutiple times in kon diao's story (his family is so cruel and this kid don't deserve it)but it turns out Domindi and all of the actors are able to made it well

The atmosphere is really intense and looks like a mafia movie, its like a war between wealthy, throne and love. gratefuly they added a bit comedy so the audience doesn't get a headache, finally watched them having a happy ending with the beautiful and creative production, really pleased with everything comes out like my expectation, the budget for this series ain't lying, everything shooted really well expecially the car accident, airport, tiger scene and the wedding is SUPERIOR. i would say Max and Nat's acting improved a lot and delivered the story really really well

also HIA YI IS SO HOTTTT THATS INSANE

Hmmm I really can't decide

The one thing I got from this series is that it is near impossible to follow everything thrown at you without having to watch it again or, having to rewind and play scenes over again until you fill in the blanks and catch up. At times (an iQIYI issue) the subtitles were so fast you would need a photographic memory or, start a Duolingo course to learn the language. Also, when the writers/director realize that they only have two episodes left - they cram so much information in that it could be three days later before your brain finally puts it in the right order and you say "Ahhhh. That's why the father was such a..."

Yi's transformation from a**hole to nice person was never believable. It was never truly explained why he treated Diao so badly. Agree - Nat is not the best actor and agree - how can a medalist in martial arts be such a wimp and unable to fight?

Another reviewer posted other titles from this company and their seems to be a running theme...take a book and hurriedly and sometimes badly, convert into a series. Though, I must say that they are usually, good enough to plow through to see the ending. Not thrilled but, you know what I mean.

Side characters were entertaining. If you think of this as a Cinderella story - it makes a bit more sense and having the "extra" stuff thrown in is all there to help move the story along.

Hard to recommend. It is like both versions of Why R U. Thai one made all women to be vile and opportunistic. The Korean one cleaned that part up and improved it - a little. Do we wait for the Korean Naughty Babe and hope for more? Enquiring minds want to know...

Liked it better than Cutie Pie

I liked this better than Cutie Pie, at least in the beginning. In fact, I put off watching this because I was not in the mood for another Cutie Pie series.

Max was working those eyes and I was here for it!!! Nat was fine, he just can't compete with all the emotions Max can express with just his face. Few can. Maybe First or Fort.

I love me a fiest ML. I also love me a vulnerable for his love interest ML. They served up both in this series. Well, he was more first in the beginning anyway.

I think my favorite scenes are when dear ol dad insisting that he would chose Nong Dio over his son. No hesitation and a deadpan voice killed me.

At this point of my drama journey, I am not sure if lack of communication is cultural or just a common tool to further plots.

Uma história fofa, boa para entreter

Se você procura uma história extraordinária e surpreendente, talvez esse drama não seja para você! Mas caso você queira um clichê para entreter, vale a pena! A química de MaxNat, é incrível (com os melhores beijos que eu já vi em um Boys Love, sendo bem sincera)!

A história gira em torno de um acordo de casamento entre duas famílias e os problemas causados aos noivos, Khondiao e Hia Yi, por causa do conflito de interesses entre elas. Assim como o seu melhor amigo, Lian, Hia Yi tem uma dificuldade muito grande em dizer o que sente e isso resulta em uma falha de comunicação, que faz com que os noivos se afastem.

Apesar de ter só 8 episódios, a trama enrola um pouco, mas não chegou a me irritar tanto quanto a repetição de Cutie Pie e entregou um final doce, simples e até crítico.

Menção honrosa, a dona e proprietária desse BL: Natasha Romanong Au Au Chen, sem ela esse final não seria possível!

cringe in maniera bella come cutie pie

Continuo della seconda coppia di cutie pie, sicuramente una coppia magnifica, sincera e molto amorevole.
All'interno della serie ho trovato solo una cosa che non mi ha convinta tanto, che è una parte dove non ho capito il motivo di un'azione di un personaggio, potrebbe essere anche solo distrazione mia anche se non penso.
In sé il BL è molto carini, vengono anche ritrovati Zee e Nunew nella maggior parte degli episodi e ci sono anche dei piccoli focus su di loro dopo il matrimonio avvenuto su cutie pie.
Mi dispiace non aver visto quasi per niente Yim e Tutor in questa serie.

P.s. Non so perché ma a Tutor hanno cambiato il nome del suo personaggio da "Nuer" a "Nuea" il che è abbastanza confusionario visto che "Kuea" suona fin troppo simile (e sinceramente preferivo a prescindere Nuer come nome)

Entertained at first but in overall disappointed by the scenario and pace of the story

This series is a sequel to Cutie Pie, focusing on the couple Yi x Khondiao, several years after the end of Cutie Pie 2. I enjoyed the first half of the drama: it had an outlandish and very soap premise as well as a lot of funny forced cohabitation scenes...Unfortunately, my interest strongly decreased in the second half as the pace of the story was getting worse and the plot become more and more ridiculous. I think it would have been better if the story had been told in a much more concise way and with less episodes.

The acting skills were kind of a mixed bag... I was happy to find back some of the actors and characters from the old series (mainly Nunew playing Kuea and Zee as Lian) and I really enjoyed the actor playing Yi's father, who was for me the MVP of the show. I also found the chemistry between the main leads Max and Nat very good and their hot scenes quite believable. Unfortunately they were less convincing to me in the more dramatic moments. I also found the main "villains" of the drama too caricatural and mediocre.

The production value was quite good with some questionable and over-the-top filmmaking choices. Some scenes are clearly filmed and edited to increase the dramatic / soap effect which make it quite entertaining and even goofy (which might not be the exact intended purpose). The moments with the dog were pretty cute and fun, while the CGI tiger made me cringe. The soundtrack did not leave a memorable impression on me and pale in comparison to Cutie Pie/Cutie Pie 2 ones.

I would not recommend this to people. It is a very over-the-top BL story with a cute dog, a questionable CGI tiger and wonky scenario: it is entertaining at times and quite ridiculous at some other times. If you are a fan of Cutie Pie / Cutie Pie 2 and/or of Domundi actors, you might still want to give it a shot for some of the couple pairings.

Amazing story and series

This series was amazing, I love the actors and storyline. Amazing chemistry with all the staff. It has everything you wanting a BL series to have. This series has it all love, hate, jealousy, revenge, friendship and family. This was one of the best series in a long time. Totally deserve 10 stars. I laughed and cried. I have missed series like this that can catcher your heart. I only wish it was longer and not the end of the series, makes you only want more. All three series had done an amazing job telling everyone's story showing amazing growth and development. A true beauty of actors and storyline mashed up greatly. ❤️

So good!

I really enjoyed watching this series. It was so fun to watch knowing that it was a connection to Cutie Pie but the thing was I at first didn't know that it as kind of a continuation because their names were different like for example Hia Yi had Chatdecha chen and phayak in his name and I thought it was a whole different series but then I realized because of the dog haha. It was really good but the only things I had concerned for is that the dog... Nong was a white chihuahua in Cutie Pie but then now she is black and white and I was confused because she changed haha but that's not a big concern, another concern I have is that when Hia Yi got into the accident I don't even get how his car flipped over because when he was in the car I get that (because I learned driving before because of the DMV I learned that when it starts raining it gets slippery on the road) and it was storming and Hia Yi was angry because of Kuea not telling the secret house and then when he found out where he really was he panicked but then I don't get what or how his car flipped over. That scene made me cry though because it was sad and Kon Diao was crying :(... The music though I LOVE THE MUSIC IT IS SO GOOD!!!!!! It is still stuck in my head till this day. I watched the series a few months ago and my review is new because lol I just decided to make a MDL account (Just if anyone is curious bahaah) The music is so sweet and the opening like where they show photos of them was really cute. the acting was AMAZING. I loved it. The only thing that the acting lacked was that the car flipping was a good effect but the thing is what DID he flip over on or how lol. And the dog bro... the dog just dyed her fur I guess 😂😂😂😂

Very domestic vibe they tried to make as much as possible as the prequel couple by copying some aspects inclusive to zeenew i don't blame them though the visuals are great actors look more handsome i can't complain overall it's rather catchy than deep
,Mentions gay marriage legalization and making a family with two dads in a Very romantic way but raised in my head so many questions , why do gay couples need to marry legally?? For money splitting right with their partner maybe? can gay couple have kids? surrogacy ?does every one have the money to do so? is it ethical?

ACTUALLY A GOOD SHOW, GREAT IF THERE'S A LITTLE MORE PUSH

STORY ;
To be Honest there are parts that I did not understand on the story, some of it have no sense at all, but it was on point and I can really walk through with what the show is trying to imply. Diao being used by his own father to gain something from Yi's Family by letting him marry Yi and the couple over coming it, it was a nice plot actually, but with some unknown reason I am not convinced enough with how the show elaborated it, something is lacking that I did not know what it was, or maybe it was the bad writings or lines ? whatever. If we want to just see boys having romance and comedy with each other this is for you guys, thankfully it was entertaining enough to let me push through the end and over all it was a good watch.
VISUAL :
The Visuals are insane ! this show has one of the nicest visuals I've ever seen, like the camera pointing, the angle, it was really great two thumbs up!
ACTING/ACTORS ;
I love MaxNat since Why R U ! and from there I've seen how developed they've become with each other as a BL couple, When I watched Cutie Pie there was still an awkwardness there on their kissing scene and now here in Naughty Babe, the kiss was OMG, I can't contain it like it looks so real and it feels like the two of them are too comfortable with ear other, the kissing scene was too steamy for mo , well not all but some of it were too much that I have to skip it but it was nice and a good improvement for both of them. All of them acted nicely here I have nothing to say it was good and entertaining and Nat was such a baby very good pairing really for me
OVER ALL
Recently I was actually looking for BL that has enough romance and the kissing scene that is not awkward for the actors and has a great storyline and When I watched this show, They have given me MORE that what I am looking for, and I am entertained, MaxNat really knew how to play this genre and they knew what me as an audience wants with their romance it was cute and funny and romantic and heartfelt specially when Yi finally knew what was on Diao's mind all of this time and when Yi learned how to express his love to Diao, it was everything ! . but again could've been great with a little more push . so yeah this show is for those who are not too serious and too critics on story line and just wanna see a romance , you should definitely watch it, and for me it was not a waste of time choosing this drama !

Maxnat é um grande ship, mas não é para todo mundo

Acredito que o BL recebeu críticas mais duras do que merecia, visto que não correspondeu a expectativas que nunca prometeu corresponder. A real é que Naughty Babe é melhor que Cutie Pie, mas nem todo mundo está pronto para essa conversa. Max e Nat possuem uma atuação incrível e uma evolução na série desde o primeiro episódio, alguns pontos poderiam melhorar, mas que dependia mais da história do que deles, pontos podiam ser mais abordados, melhor explorados, como o fato que Nat tem um diploma universitário sabe-se lá de que, visto que só sabemos da sua especialidade em arte marcial. Vi algumas pessoas reclamando que ele "tornou-se uma donzela quando foi atacado", primeiro que isso é um comentário extremamente misógino, segundo que você pode ser o melhor do mundo, mas contra 4 fica difícil, ainda mais considerando o porte e tamanho do Nat, no um a um se garantir é diferente com um grupo. Achei o plot do pai do aluno desnecessário, pois não acrescentou muito na trama, mas em particular ver a mudança do Hia Yi foi incrível, ele era muito frio e severo em Cutie Pie, ele foi realmente se tornando mais quente que uma churrasqueira como traduzimos para o BR, hahahaha, sendo amável e vendo que tava errado, inclusive, a trama toda é sobre como eles tem problemas e o Yi sabendo que está errado, mas talvez algumas pessoas não tenham entendido isso. Famílias com segredos e traumas são complexas, mas sinto que algumas coisas podiam só ter sido pesquisadas no google (a situação de desconfiarem de Yi estar traindo Diao) que isso resolveria bem mais fácil. Quem é novo no mundo dos BL não entende que eles possuem uma característica de ship clássico de Power Top e Power Baby, que logicamente na vida real seria muito ruim e questionável, mas no mundo dos BL é apenas um lugar clássico, quem não veio de uma cultura de yaoi acaba questionando coisas sem conhecer o meio que está inserido. Enfim, é um dos meus BLs de conforto, por isso vim fazer essa resenha em tom de defesa, pois vi algumas resenhas muito desrespeitosas com os atores e a produção como um todo e acho que: se esse tipo de ship não é para você, apenas veja outra coisa, não seja infeliz em suas palavras sobre pessoas reais. É possível criticar sem ofender.
