A lovely story
So, I am seeing so many reviews saying there is little plot/storyline. I am not sure what exactly people mean by that because it definitely had a plot/storyline. This story did drag a little but not enough to make it a poor/bad show. The character growth and development was slow in the main couple, as a couple but there were so many other relationships, especially for the younger character, that were highlighted that it’s hard to complain. The storyline was really something that could happen (minus arranged marriage) to anyone…loving someone (from childhood) but hiding your true self for fear of rejection is a very common reaction, especially in young adults. Many young ones will act according to what they think someone wants rather than their true desires because they want to meet expectations and fear rejection and like in this series, it takes time to really convince them that it’s okay to be themselves rather than who they think people want them to be. The lack of communication between main characters did drag longer than necessary but I assume it was to create “drama” for the show.NuNew did a fantastic job for a first time role and the others did well in their roles. My favorite character was Syn, the boy trying to steer his friends in a moral direction. However, all of the cast delivered their role’s convincingly so I say good job, well done.

Maybe its not for everyone but its sure for me
First off, This is my second BL i've ever seen and i watched it on the Mandee Channel on youtube. i adore this story so much, its Definitley one i can put on in the background and watch.I LOVE all the mains, Newnu, Zee, Max & Nat, They all have great charater chemistry together, i saw a video where someone was hating on Nat and it made me cry becuase he os just a little bean. Yes he always plays the cute roles but thats just his style but he does it so well, If given a bigger, more "powerful" role, he'll be able to do that too. - maybe i'm bias becuase i have the same personality as Nat.
Zee & Newnu's chemistry is literally unmatched, they have so much tention and chemistry in real l;ife (Probably because they are dating) that there on screen Chem is electric.
Max& Nat also have really good chemistry on and off screen
My favorite part(s) of the entire show is anytime Kuea changes into Kiriin because Nu looks so good in this style of clothing, and i lovehim riding the motorbike, - i'm bias because i love anything with a motor bike

Cute Kisses
This should've been called Cutie Kisses, cuz lorrrdd. Anyways, this was honestly 12 episodes of nothing. It wasn't a bad drama, I enjoyed it because I came in with low expectations and you can tell they spent some good money on the production, but it flowed like any other contractual marriage k-drama that I've seen and by episode 9, I was bored and fast forwarding through the episodes. The "secrets" were all a let down that didn't warrant all the drama. All the new actors did a great job especially New. He's adorable. Max and my little pocket baby Nat did their thing, but I'm still lost by their story arc. Like did the dog knock the memories out of Nat's character? Or did it maul him, which caused him trauma to forget? Their story wasn't really explained well. All I got was that Diao's father was using whatever happened to get money from off Yi. I also liked Zee as the cold CEO type. He can pull it off and him and New had good chemistry tooNow the COUPLE that I wanted was Syn and Nuer and my takeaway from this entire drama is that I'm ready for Yim and Tutor to carry their own BL or at least give us a spin off of their characters. I had to wait ELEVEN episodes for all those sexual stares to finally explode. They have great on screen chemistry.
Lots of skin-ship and plenty of kisses, but the story dragged and you tend to end up losing interest. But it's okay for a first time watch and New's singing voice is so soothing and beautiful. But it's an easy watch. No angst, no break ups, no love rivals. Just everyone GETTING KISSES!!!!!

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.

Still one of the most enjoyable Thai BL for me.
First, I was intrigued by the trailer as it reminds me of wattpad stories - arranged marriage. I would say that the plotline isn't really that unique and thrilling but it was interesting enough for me to enjoy it and rewatch the series again and again. Most especially, the chemistry of the main couple is top-tier, like dang. Chef's kiss.Was this review helpful to you?
Mid, freaking mid
bro..... no let me chill, gotta start with the good, I did absolutely fall in love with Lian and Kuea. the production was great, clearly they put a lot of money into this.Now...Kondiao and his man made me so uncomfy ion how to explain it. their relationship seems so odd. I did not like it, it was awkward and I had to skip or watch it at a high speed. the constant reference to the past with little explanation, the weird misunderstands, the feeling that they are terrified of talking with each other CONSTANTLY .
Ultimately, the charters are flawed / written too badly. iono if it's the acting or sometime but some scenes felt forced..iono I just felt it was not that good.

Their feelings of love are very clear.
Is this drama deserving of praise? The answer is yes. Is it because of the music, the cinematography, the directing, the story, the heroes, or the emotions that make the viewer not know who to stand with? I applaud them warmly for this wonderful and beautiful drama. The chemistry between the heroes is very wonderful and heart-fluttering. Regarding the two heroes, Koya and Lian, I don’t know how to describe their acting exactly, but am I the only one who felt that their feelings of love were very clear and not just acting or a role they play? I felt this because of the way they kissed each other. Should I call it kissing or devouring, if that is correct? Should I also look for a man who has qualities like Brook Panich? He is very wonderful, and I already know that New Chaowarin deserves such a man in his life. I congratulate them for conveying their sad and happy feelings to me, the viewer who follows them. Will I watch it again? Definitely yes.Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
(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*.

Watch for yourself
First timer reviewer here!So… this has been out for some months now and I’m only now hearing about it.
In my honest opinion, I advise you to reserve judgment and watch it for yourself! Don’t rely too much on the negative reviews out there. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews and shied away from this BUT after seeing the chemistry between the main couples on YouTube, I decided to give it a go and it’s pretty good! I’ve gotten to episode 5 and so far, I’m not disappointed at all!
