Cutie Pie

Perfect series to watch if you want to de-stress

I personally enjoyed watching this series despite the negative reviews from some. I just love that the story is not that heavy and I don't need to spend much time stressing over the characters. This gave me the right amount of hurt and comfort, misunderstanding trope (which for some reason a personal favorite) and the perfect resolution for the ending.

Also, I sooo love the casts, especially the way Zee and Nunew gave life to their characters. They really gave their best for this series and it's evident with how they deliver every emotion for the dramatic scenes.

Overall, it has flaws and the plot was not perfect but I can let those off since its entertainment value is quite high, at least for me and I wasn't really stressed after watching all the episodes. Great series for those who love a stress-free binge to realx on a weekend.

My Guilty Pleasure

Cutie Pie started out so good but somewhere along the line it lost its way. The story was never that entertaining in the first place tho a story about two men being engaged caught my interest. In that aspect it was interesting but only til episode 2. After that the story became about: lies, lies, lies, secrets, more lies and misunderstandings between the main couple. That became really frustrating. Not to mention the worst was a 20yr old acting like a 2yr old toddler for most of the series. Where was his development? I guess he got some in the finale. Was it enough? No butI digress. If it wasn't for NuNew's talent I'd probably would have hated Kuea. Truth be told it was NuNew, Zee, Nat and Max who saved this series for me with their acting. That's why I gave it a 10.

Despite my above rant, I did enjoy it and stuck with it til the end. That was mostly because of the fan service XD. Both Zee/NuNew and Max/Nat had incredible chemistry which made this series watchable aside from their sketchy characters it was fun watching them make out even if the sex scenes didn't make sense at times. That's why I call it my guilty pleasure I was literally just watching for that in the end. The story lost its way long before halfway.

I did like the finale tho and the message that the writers, producer and director along with the cast were trying to send which was equality, marriage and lgbtq+ rights. Not many series go for social commentary and CP + Not Me before it, did. That's why I gave it an 8.0 overall because of the cast, the message they were trying to deliver and the beginning. If the story wouldn't have lost it's way, my rating would have been higher.

Would I rewatch? Probably but after awhile. But, mostly for the fanservice and music.

A Cute Piece of Pie, But A Hot Mess Of A Show

This show I had zero expectations for. I gotta admit I am not a huge fan of Zee. I saw him in "Why R U" and did not like his character or acting at all. I think he pushes it too far with these roles. This one however was a lot more suitable for him. NuNew also did a great job in his role, though his character frustrated me often in this. Like boo just be yourself! Though their relationship was rocky, it was also entertaining and hot! So I let it slide because I was engaged in it. Nat and Max I saw in "Y-Destiny" and liked them there. So I was excited to see them again, though it wasn't everything I could've hoped for. Their relationship was veryyyy slow paced, but cute once it got going. Our third couple I could've cared less about and skipped through their scenes after awhile. I wish series didn't push for the third couple so much. It's too much on the plot and unnecessary. The only time that 3 couples worked seamlessly was in UWMA.

The humor in this is spot on. I really had a few good laughs! The plot though kinda disheveled was fun and I hope to see these two main characters in another series. I guess there's a sequel happening so that's cool! I just don't want anymore family drama please. That was frustratingggg. The plot wasn't executed the best but overall watching this was a good time.

SO GOOD

I don't know why so many people dislike it but okay everyone has a different opinion. I agree that the storyline isn't the best and i thought this kind of story would be better but it still didn't dissapoint. I had many feelings during the whole series: happiness, anger, excitement, sadness, butterflies. If I have these kind of emotions it means i really like the series. The acting is a 10/10. I am especially surprised by Nunew's acting and I can't believe that it's his first time. There is also not a single song that i don't like. The couple's were a bit problematic at the beginning but they developed so well. The series shows us how important communication in a relationship is. Kuea had in his mind that his parnter won't accept him the way he is. And Lian had secrets behind his back like knowing everything. But after watching everything we could understand their characters more and their actions. They could have done better but then there wouldn't be any drama in the series hahaha. Plus the proposal scene was literally the most beautiful scene I've ever seen!!!

As for the second couple... i really don't understand the story of Diao and Yi. I agree that their story is really toxic and i just don't understand them. At first I was so happy about them but after Yi ignored Diao after their kiss i was so confused how their relationship even started and why. Even after we saw a bit of their past i am still confused and just don't understand. I didn't really enjoy their story :/

BUT THE COUPLE I REALLY ENJOYED WAS NUEA AND SYN. I LOVED their relationship. I am so sad that we got such a little bit of them :( i really hope we could see more in the special episodes. They are so adorable together!!! I was screaming the whole time when i saw them together *-*

All in all, Cutie Pie is now my fav series. I really enjoyed it and it was a great feeling supporting the series while it was ongoing and being there since the Pilot Trailer. And i don't only like the series but the actors as well. I an so glad to be a ZonZon now because i really love ZeeNunew and ofc all actors. I think their chemistry made the series a lot better. I don't care about kisses, NC scene. I just want a beautiful relationship. And i cannot wait to see the special episodes so we can see how healthy LianKuea's relationship is after their problem.

Cutie Pie? More like a Hot Mess!!

First of all, whoever named the series "Cutie Pie" needs to be fired. This was not cute. It was a literal Hot Mess! Cute, is not knowing how to confess and running in circles because you just had your first kiss. Steamy is when you have sexy half-naked men hugging, kissing, and getting way too close to each other for more than half of all of the episodes that it's impossible for me to watch this series in front of my parents.

Now that I'd done making fun of the series, Cutie Pie wasn't too bad... If you don't really care for plot and are just looking for two hot guys that really need to get a room. The plot was all over the place, but it comes together by the end of the series. Until then though, it does feel like a slow burn with the characters always pushing each others buttons in a constant game of tug-of-war that lasts all 12 episodes.


~~ STORY ~~

Hia Lian and Kuea Keerati have been engaged with each other since they were children. Kuea come from a very old, prestigious and wealthy household while Hia Lian's family recently gained their wealth through their water bottle business. Both families have agreed that the two boys will marry when Kuea graduated college. Until then they have been going on weekly dates. Kuea is head over heels for Hia Lian. He loves playing drums, singing, and super cars, but in front of Hia Lian, he plays the good boy card.

One day Kuea asks Hia Lian if he loves him. The later replies "No," which saddens and angers Kuea to the point he calls off the engagement. Hia Lian says they cannot cancel their engagement and begins to pester Kuea.

Meanwhile, Kuea's best friend Khondiao, and Hia Lian's best friend Hia Yi also have problems of their own. Khondiao has been living at Hia Yi's mansion at the later's request, but lately Hia Yi is starting to get too over protective. They aren't even dating, yet Hia Yi's setting curfews for Khondiao to come home.

First of all, the premise of the story isn't bad. However, the first episode was hard to watch. It was really all over the place. It was like the director had so many ideas that were hastily crammed into the first episode. I promise, once you get through that first episode the rest of the series is a little more easy to watch.

That being said, the plot was still all over the place and the game of cat and mouse was really annoying because the couples didn't resolve anything until the last episode. Every time you think they would get together, they don't. Even that beautiful proposal was ruined because Kuea overthinks every little thing. These two have major communication issues!!

Also, as I said earlier, this series has a lot of steamy scenes.... Way too many if you consider that they are having steamy scenes yet they haven't even gotten together for more than half of the scenes.


HIA LIAN X KUEA

Kuea seems like a good boy that's trying to be a bad boy. Why is he hiding everything from Hia Lian? Hia Lian... I don't know what game he's playing. Both boys got along well as kids, yet as adults they suddenly are hiding secrets from each other? I don't buy it, especially if they have been going on dates every friday.

P.S. I really like Kuea and Hia Lian together towards the end of the series. They are cute together... But I think they really need to work on communication and not hiding secrets.


HIA YI X KHONDIAO

Hia Yi and Khondiao are... interesting. At first, I thought they were already dating, but it turns out they are not. Also, midway though the series Hia Yi and Khondiao start having issues with their living arrangement. It was sudden, but I wish it started more towards the beginning of the series. And again, like their best friends, this couple also has major communication issues.


NUER X SYN

These two need their own series. They were my favorite couple. They really brought out the "cutie pie" aspect of this series, where they rest of the couples fail at it. They couple also has my favorite kiss scene... possibly out of all the BLs I've seen. So cute and sweet.

Anyways, Nuer was brought in to seemly become Hia Lian's rival for Kuea's heart, but Nuer doesn't really act on it. Which I wish he did because it would have made the plot more interesting. However, I am content with Nuer immediately taking an interest in Syn's protectiveness of Kuea. I really liked Nuer from the moment he showed up on screen. Syn, however.... He made no real impact when he was first introduced, so it was surprising that he was also a minor lead.


~~ ACTING ~~
** Scratch that. The steamy scenes. **

Everything, including the acting, was overshadowed by the steamy scenes.

I already knew that since Zee was cast, he was going to have some steamy scenes, but I think they gave him too many. It really overshadowed the acting because once the steamy scenes start, it starts to feel like an adult video because Zee is that good at it. I really don't remember much of the acting because of it. Who was acting opposite of Zee again?

Also, another reason I really think Zee had too many steamy scenes, because when it was time for Max and Nat to have their steamy scene, I found myself comparing it to Zee's when I shouldn't be.


~~ OVERALL ~~

Cutie Pie isn't a bad watch. It's very steamy with little a chaotic plot, but it's fun to watch.

My favorites were the cameos in episode 7 and 12. The cameos were so random, but they were interesting. Episode 7 was funny since Prem and Boun suddenly show up and start playing Never Have I Ever with the couple with every little background on who these two are.

Anyways, I recommend watching Cutie Pie just for Nuer and Syn's kiss, Zee's steamy scenes, and Prem and Boun's cameo. The other parts of the series I couldn't care for.

dragged out

I was going to watch this when it came out, but I had no time, and now I do, so I am about to start watching this in a few minutes. Finished it. Hot take: I liked the scattered plotting, the credits rolling as I wrote this, and I liked every second of this and the randomness. I'd give it a 9/10 because they dragged it out over the last two episodes. I liked the acting; it was cool. I'm happy I finally watched this! There weren't many scenes in which I felt like genuinely hurting someone on the screen, which was also a plus. They definitely could have ended it on the 10th episode. They had no reason to drag it out just to do the same thing. It could have ended sooner for sure.

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!

Why this BL series just didn't hit the mark for me

Even though this series didn’t seem all that entertaining at first, I still gave it a shot because there were so many good comments in IQIYI app and I’m not the type to judge a show based on low ratings. But honestly? Yeah, it kind of does deserve that 7 rating, haha.

I found it pretty boring overall, and Kuea’s character really got on my nerves. He was just so immature and full of lies. I couldn’t understand why he was living a double life, was it just to impress Lian? If so, big nope from me. I didn’t like all the pretending, especially when he was acting like some perfect “good boy” around Lian.

What’s frustrating is that his real self is actually super cool: he loves music, plays the drums, great singer, rides a motorbike, and has awesome fashion sense. I would’ve loved that version of him way more.

And it’s not just Kuea, Lian also lied. Like, why would you pretend you don’t love someone you’ve basically loved since childhood? That part made zero sense to me, and they never even explained it! Therefore, the characters were poorly written (the deception was consistent from start to finish).

I honestly almost dropped the series, but I pushed through just to finish it. Safe to say, I didn’t even bother watching season 2. Felt like it would’ve just been a waste of time.

Anyway, actors are great with undeniable chemistry so I gave it 6/10.

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.
