Naughty Babe

it's not all bad

so when I first started watching I really thought the acting sucked and the plot made little sense and I stopped watching around episode 5. but I decided to finish it and I'm glad I did.

I still think the acting sucked and the plot made little sense. I was confused pretty much the whole time. but I really liked a lot of what happened at the end and episodes 6 and 8 have some very juicy top tier smut scenes.

if you're in the mood for some smut, this is really a show to watch. it's only 8 episodes and the scenes are not brief. they don't cut away before the good shit like some other shows.

and if you're wondering if you need to watch cutie pie first, I would say probably not. I mean you'll see how these two got together but you'll still be confused regardless so it's really more about if you prefer first time or established relationship

Better than I expected

I watched two episodes in September while I was on a camp with my new colllage classmates (imagine it like the trips in almost every BL) and I got back to it in November. Honestly, it was better than I expected.

THE STORY: I was kinda bored in the first half, but then it got better. My thoughts about Kondiao and Hia Yi while watching Cutie Pie weren’t positive. I thought they were extremely toxic. I’m really glad they weren’t like this in Naughty Babe. They finally comunicated with each other. Their common trauma brought them together tighter then before. And also their families. Kondiao was literally like Cinderella :D He had an evil step-mom and spoiled step-siblings. No wonder he was easy to manipulate by Hia Yi. Poor boy!

CHARACTERS: Hia Yi was a manipulative guy in Cutie Pie. He’s better in here. He actually talks with Kondiao and tries to be better. Good for him… Also, his dad was HOT! (And Max’s mom too!)

OVERALL: Kinda an unpopular opinion, but I found Kondiao and Hia Yi more interesting than Kuea and Lian. MaxNat’s chemistry was incredible. I was literally blushing while watching the last NC scene… Wow. The ending was SO SWEET AND THE CUTEEEEEEST! I need more endings like this in other BLs too!

First of all...the intro...the very first part of the series was very creative and the transition.....well done. I can't help but wonder about the massive budget put into this series so far

Also, Woow. Just woow. Max really outdid himself with the whole alpha male persona he's showing here...from the way he sits to how he commands every room he enters. The visuals too...kon diao's visuals are stunning and the overall production is typical Domundi top-tier production.

There's little to review since the first episode was mostly answering the questions i was honestly wondering about after seeing the trailer and bringing us up to speed to YiDiao a few years after Cutie pie, so i'll write a proper review later on. Just thought i'd move things along.


Anyway...ill be waiting for the next episode eagerly....this is definitely worth it

Review after first episode

Love the actors , I didn't expect it to be that much of a comedy tho... As Cutie pie was more of a rom-com style, this one is looking like a comedy telenovela where you can predict most of the plot....
Cringe comedy drama but enjoyable as a light watch especially if you watched Cutie pie before.
Definitely going to watch the whole thing.
Sound effects are making me cry half of the time.... From laughing so hard XD
Max is catching me off guard with his expressions as Hia Yi every time , and his jealousy of Nong is just hilarious. Also the way Diao trained the dog to understand him basically? Impressive XD (although they could have find a dog with similar color at least if they had to change it... I noticed the change immediately and it was confusing)
Waiting for the next episode now to see where it goes :)

Don't trust anyone

Wasted potential with this bro. I am going to average it and go based on my reviews, and I am going to try to be nice, but its probably going to end in me flaming this show. The average is 8.31 stars out of 10. I rounded it down to 8, but I will probably make it a 7.5 because it wasn't that good, but I will cut it some slack because I can. Everything is probably not grammatically correct, but whatever. i am taking a nap

I was laughing my ass off at Hia Yi getting flipped over in the car because you could see him flip with it, and I was going to hell for laughing, but I had to pause. I was laughing so hard, bro. We are finally getting the long-awaited backstory that I had been waiting for since cutie pire, bro. Hopefully the show continues to have fast-paced but information-packed episodes with a hint of sexual tension and jokes and is just over all lighthearted with that same sort of dark undertone. This should be fun. It was not fun. It was birthing and confusing, but some parts went crazy.

I could end my review right here, but I am going to keep going because I hate myself. We got a lot more information dumped on us; it was almost like they were trying to smash it into 8 episodes. There were plot holes and a lot of lying. And besides the car getting fucked, there are a lot of real relationship problems. Like lying, bro, that is such a problem, and even after they say they won't, they do it again. That's one thing the show did right. The lying brother If I were Diao, I would not want to know any of this stuff, from the tiger stuff to my own family rigging my car. I feel like that would just stress me out if I were him, bro. I was making predictions about the uncle, and I was right on those, so go me. I was right about Makorn, or whatever Yi's sexiest ass dad's name was, not rigging the breaks of the car. We weren't really getting a lot of Hia Yi and Diao at first; there was a lot of focus on their whole world and not really them. It was getting on my nerves. They need to get Yi some damn counseling. He acts the way he does because this poor kid got fucking transmuted. And blames himself, and he was so fucking young. that's crazy. Good for them for using that fake ass tiger, bro. They are using real animals in some of these Thai dramas, and just the idea of those animals around those young kids is just no.

Who let Lian cook with all these damn lies? The whole thing with Yi milking his amnesia to prove to Diao that he loves him just proves my point of this show and the main characters fucking lying to each other all the damn time because they want to see them happy. Yeah, wait till the lies eat your ass, bro. Yi is going to get his cover blown either by himself or Lian because Lian tells his man everything. Diao is eating up every second of the affection Yi is giving him, and it's good for him, to be honest. I would feel betrayed if I were him for lying to me like this, but at the same time, he is still the same, but he just wants to love on me to prove himself, and I would gush over that. So true me on the 17th of September. The whole lying thing was definitely a theme in this, is all I have to say.

Yi and Diao are literally just tramuatized kids who grew up. It was so good acting around that part. That random ass single dad, who was very sexy, might I add, is going to be a problem with him not taking no for an answer. Diao is going to be used as a pawn, like in the never let me go kind of vibes with the signing away everything so he doesn't get hurt. I got really involved with Yi's outburst and just broke down. I feel like they really got closer in that scene, and I think it was actually really well done.

I was really suspicious about Aon being a terrorist. but he wasn't. I am sorry, you are so sexy. I got scared, bro. I feel really bad for Diao. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t trust anybody, bro. It’s crazy. Yi needs to tell Diao everything; they are the only thing each other has, bro. If they had more communication, none of this would have happened. LIyterally. The car accident would not have caused the memory loss, but at the same time, the chens would have already been used by the Diaos family, so I don't know. I am on the fence.

They are doing a lot of plot building for a show that is ending in two episodes. They are trying to shove in as much as possible because of the plot dumpster ass that the first two episodes had with the whole amnesia shit because Diao's family is trying to kill him for Yi's money. We do not need another runaway bride; we already had one with Kuea and Lian. I beg they better not do that to our boys, and then we just get one medical ending. This show is definitely going to get a medical ending, and I don't want to manifest that, but by the way, they haven't wrapped up the plot yet, so we are going to get a medical ending, sadly. That's it. And this took me forever to complete. The sex scene was banger; it felt so natural. They tried really hard to save the sumpster fire plot with cute moments and some moments with good acting. But it could not save the plot, sadly.

There is too much investment and not enough love from our main couple, bro. Mad annoying.

This is my first time ever finishing a show on time. Sure, I watched four episodes this week, but I finished them on time, and that's all that matters. I would have finished this earlier in the day, but it wasn't out of Iqiyi yet, so I was witting. Was it a 10 out of 10 ending? No. Did I give it a 10 out of 10 because I am easily persuaded by cute kids? Yes, yes, I did. I have no shame. Could the final sex scene save the thriller plot? almost. I would not be mad if they milked these two and their cute ass kids for a spical episode. I would not be mad at all. If only this didn't have a memory loss plot, it would have been 10 times better. Good evening, ass show. Thats it. I would not recommend it. Its not that good, but do what you want, don't listen to someone on the internet, or make your own choice. That's it. okay bye!

Asmei

Não é uma história bombástica, inovadora e surpreendente, mas com certeza um belíssimo clichê, daqueles que não aconteceriam na vida real em nenhuma hipótese, porém aquecem o coração pq o casal principal nos permite sussurrar de amor junto com eles.
Confesso que, sendo essa história retirada de dentro de "Cutie pie", eu tive um grande medo e uma grande curiosidade. O medo consistia no fato de que que Cutie pie foi um sucesso estrondoso, e até agora Zee e Nunew são um casal sensação, portanto eu temi que o casal principal tivesse seus holofotes roubados, mas isso não aconteceu. E a curiosidade, de fato foi desperta em Cutie pie, já que a história de Diao e Yi sempre foi muito obscura e terminou sem maiores explicações.
Meus medos foram infundados, minha curiosidade foi satisfeita, e terminei a série sendo a maior shipper de Max e Nat desse universo, que química surreal, que cenas de amor lindas, MDS!!!

Toda a história só é contada e resolvida, após Diao ter certeza que Yi não o ama, e só está com ele para cuidar, como uma obrigação sobre a qual ele desconhece o motivo. Quando Diao consegue fugir, Yi, que na verdade o ama muito mas não consegue falar abertamente, sofre um grave acidente de carro tentando encontrar ele, e a partir de então conheceremos toda a história que uniu esse casal, desde o grave acidente com o tigre que terminou causando a morte do segurança de Yi, a amnésia traumática de Diao, e o senso de responsabilidade da família Chen, que acredita ser culpada pelo trauma de Diao, e te essa ideia alimentada pela família interesseira dele, que faz com que eles assinem um acordo de noivado entre duas crianças. A série inicialmente deixa um tom de mistério sobre quem sabotou o carro para matar Diao (ele é quem deveria se acidentar, não Yi), que infelizmente não é mantido até o final. O que me deixou meio decepcionada foi não ver os criminosos pagarem, nem saber o desfecho deles.

A atuação de todos é impecável, inclusive da cachorrinha, a ost é linda, todos os detalhes são milimetricamente perfeitos.

Sinceramente, amei que Diao sempre foi protegido e tido como um grande inocente, mas ele é quem toma as rédeas para livrar a família de seu amor da exploração causada por sua própria família, e de forma muito inteligente ele consegue resolver tudo.

Amei a série, verei outras vezes e pra mim, com certeza está entre minhas favoritas.

Caos no começo, coração aquecido no final

Naughty Babe foi uma montanha-russa que começou me deixando completamente perdida e até um pouco irritada, mas que, surpreendentemente, conseguiu me conquistar aos poucos. Eu já tinha alguma noção do que esperar, porque assisti Cutie Pie e sabia que esse universo é praticamente uma fanfic de luxo: bilionários jovens, casamentos arranjados, drama emocional em escala exagerada. Então fui com o espírito certo. O que eu não esperava era o caos absoluto do primeiro episódio.

Sério, o começo é um desastre emocional. Hia Yi é gelado, inacessível, quase cruel, e a série joga a gente no meio da confusão sem dar tempo de entender nada. Khondiao parece estar tão perdido quanto a gente, tentando entender por que o marido arranjado o trata como um estranho. É desconfortável. Parece que estão tentando forçar aquele trope de "enemies-to-lovers", mas sem o charme necessário, só com tensão mal resolvida e um ar meio tóxico que me incomodou bastante. Eu quase desisti ali.

Mas, pra minha surpresa, a série melhora. E melhora bastante depois do terceiro episódio. Quando Hia Yi finalmente começa a se abrir e parar de agir como um robô emocional, e o Khondiao deixa de ser tão passivo, as coisas começam a funcionar. O crescimento dos dois é visível, e confesso que comecei a me importar de verdade com o casal. Não virou a série da minha vida, mas teve momentos bem bonitos, especialmente quando os personagens se permitem ser vulneráveis. A química entre os atores, Max e Nat, ajuda muito, eles seguram as cenas mais delicadas com verdade e carinho.

Visualmente, Naughty Babe é bem produzida. A fotografia é bonita, tem um ar elegante e a trilha sonora consegue entrar no clima sem ser invasiva. O problema é que, às vezes, o roteiro se apoia demais nos clichês e em cenas que parecem tiradas direto de uma fanfic, o que pode ser fofo ou só constrangedor, dependendo do seu humor no dia. Eu ri de nervoso em alguns momentos, confesso. Mas também suspirei em outros.

No fim das contas, é uma série que tenta ser mais emocional e madura que Cutie Pie, e em certa medida, consegue. Só que ainda carrega muitos dos mesmos vícios do universo de onde veio. Eu diria que vale assistir se você já conhece os personagens e quer ver mais do casal, ou se estiver no clima de um BL dramático com reconciliações e conflitos internos. Mas vá com paciência, porque o começo testa a nossa. Se você aguentar passar pela bagunça inicial, pode até encontrar uma história que vale o tempo.

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!

A SILLY ADORABLE BL SERIES

Caged Again is such a refreshingly cute BL series with a unique twist. I've honestly never seen anything quite like it before. It's super fluffy, wholesome, and lighthearted. At first, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it because I felt like I might be too old for something this silly, but sometimes, you just need a soft, feel-good show like Caged Again.
The story follows Junior, a penguin kept in a zoo, who magically turns into a human. He ends up at a boarding school, where he meets Sun, a panther who also transforms into a human. Junior is bubbly, cheerful, and carefree, while Sun is the calm, quiet, and more reserved type, but over time, he warms up to Junior.
For me, Junior totally stole the show. He's such a lovable and sweet character, and the actor really nailed the role.
Even though the series is mostly light and fluffy, it doesn't completely shy away from heavier topics like bullying, which feels pretty realistic for a high school setting. Plus, there's a bit of a thriller vibe, with villains trying to capture and sell Junior and his penguin brother.
All the characters are hilarious: from Junior's group of friends and the bullies to the principal, school staff, the ghost, the gay couple, and even the villains. And don't even get me started on the cartoon scenes showing Junior and Sun as a penguin and panther, those were just too adorable.
It honestly felt like a nostalgic trip back to my childhood.
Beneath all the silliness, the show somehow manages to touch on the complexities of being human.
The actors are definitely underrated, but their performances are solid. The pacing is just right, not too slow, not too rushed. The only downsides for me were the weak audio and a few plot holes here and there. But overall, the plot holds up and gives me plenty of laughs.
It's easily one of the silliest and most unserious BL series I've watched, and that's exactly what made it so fun.

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.

Quelle déception

J'attendais beaucoup de ce drama suite au trailer, très excitant, MaxNat sont en effet un ship adorable et j'avais beaucoup aimé YiKhondiao de Cutie Pie. Mais mes espoirs ont malheureusement vite été démolis. Seuls MaxNat sauvent la série du naufrage.

Commençons.
La série pourrait être réglée en 10mn, étant donné que tout est basé sur un problème de communication. Vous pourriez me dire que la moitié des dramas BL sont basés sur un problème de communication, mais là c'est abusé.
Le scénario est plein de trous, va dans tous les sens, les personnages et leurs décisions sont incohérents, les dialogues vides et incompréhensibles, j'ai eu du mal à comprendre le pourquoi du comment des manigances de chaque partie, l'élément policier n'est ni fait ni à faire, sans explication et sans finalisation, on se demande ce que Chane vient faire dans cette histoire dans son personnage de méchant transparent. Et je ne comprends pas ce qu'apportent les parties avec le père et son fils, peut-être ont-ils plus d'importance dans le roman mais ils ne font que ralentir le déroulement du drama sans rien apporter. Imaginez une fanfiction filmée mal ficelée, ultra sentimentale, avec une musique passion bien trop présente, les yeux pleins d'affectation et des dialogues encore pires que ceux de Wattpad. C'est tellement convenu que ça en devient insupportable. Je ne m'étendrai même pas sur les tenues du chien.
Le montage. Oh la la, je ne sais où commencer. D'ailleurs je ne sais pas si le problème de Naughty Babe vient du scénario ou du montage, approximatif, voire nul. A ce niveau-là, même MaxNat ne relèvent pas le niveau.

Bon passons aux points positifs.
On retrouve nos deux secrétaires foufous de Cutie Pie, en guests certes, mais ça fait plaisir. Poppy !! Et le nouveau secrétaire est très mignon. On retrouve également nos ZeeNunew et TutorYim et c'est un bonheur. Et que dire des relations NunewNat, si douce, et surtout MaxZee, hilarante.
Les scènes d'intimité sont incroyables. Il y a beaucoup de scènes de baisers, trop mignonnes, Nat dans les bras de Max est un régal et son expression lascive très sensuelle. Il faut reconnaître que les scènes NC sont chaudes comme la braise, les baisers brûlants, et l'alchimie de MaxNat , notamment durant les scènes de sexe, folle.
Et enfin l'épilogue, qui est probablement l'un des plus adorables que j'ai jamais vus. Mon cœur a tremblé. Et tout comme dans Cutie Pie, la série se termine sur une déclaration en faveur de l'égalité LGBTQ+, mariage et adoption. Rien que pour cela , je dis bravo.
