Ahahah I feel you. I swear I don't know why people can't see a shit show a miles away. After years of watching every kind of dramas I only need 1 or 2 episodes to see the script flaws and predict how bad it will be. And unfortunately I'm never wrong.
I dropped Cutie Pie after episode 1 because I couldn't wrap my head around the premises, it seemed so stupid and unecessary ("drama for the sake of drama"). People told me to wait, told me to read the novel... Even my sister who's easily entertained has nothing good to say about the series lol.

Seriously, it's not cute nor hot. Plain boring.

What do you mean?

I still don't understand the story but I'll be there watching because I like Chahub and Best chemistry.

Kluen's character is so disingenuous:
- He never answers honestly. He either evades the convo or serves platitudes. I rolled my eyes when he said "what is not mine I will never take, what is already mine I don't loose" or something like that.
- Definitely wants to be around Nuea, to know more about him but keeps his mysterious persona.
- Wants to know if Nuea still likes him but he asks him while Nuea is drunk!
- And most of all, he doesn't explain the situation with the girlfriend.
They're making him so mysterious just for the sake of creating miscommunication and angst.

What he said to Phoon implies he knew about Nuea in high school, I mean before Nuea confessed to him. I'm sure they're gonna tell us he liked him too. That's cute and all but it would still not explain why he's being secretive.

Anyway, the series is cute but frustrating. It's a good thing it only has 8 episodes because the script is thin as paper...

Because the script is thin like paper? This series reminds me of FUTS which had more episodes and suffered from it. 8 episodes is enough when there's no real intrigue imo.

Ok series with a cliché and old school storyline. Nothing intense or funny but it's a good watch.
The acting is ok: Dunk is doing good for a newbie but Joong is a bit stiff though I can understand since it's not that easy to play the cold & silent character without appearing wooden.
However I must say I don't like Kluen. The appeal of tsundere-like character is lost on me after decades of watching romcoms and reading romance novels. It was fun when I was young but now I found these characters annoying. All this angst could be prevented if Kluen was real to Nuea.
First, when Nuea confessed, what kind of answer was "have a safe flight"? Like come on, there was only two ways to answer that: "ok but I don't like you" or "I like you too but you're going abroad so there's no point starting something". You just don't ignore the confession!
Then he's blowing hot and cold on Nuea for no reason. Well, some of you argue he's not being upfront because he doesn't know if Nuea still likes him but I'd say if he wants to know why not ask him or openly show his interest in him? His attitude feels childish to me.

Exactly. Some of their interaction are quite forced and cringy.

Your comment made me cry. Very well said. SCOY deserves much recognition.

Ikr!! I love that they're so horny for each other! I love that we get them sweaty and moaning and teasing each other. We got a real depiction of sexual desires where both guys are initating and enjoying the sexual encounters. They even share a braincell: I screamed when Nuea said "coffee or me?"!

They screamed because Toh collecting Nuea's pants button means that while removing their clothes for sexy time, some buttons were riped... Implying they had wild s*x.

I love what you said about Seng & Billy merging their bodies when they kiss and hug. From the first episodes you can see it. I was shocked like "they're really doing that?!". Even in real life, they do it. This is the kind of details that really make me love a pairing. I've never seen that except with MewGulf.

I'm a sucker for "childhood friends to lovers" stories but I found it boring. It's not bad but it lacks dynamism and some scenes were awkward : bodies positions and camera shots, and how sometimes they speak like reciting their lines.
Also, their friendship reminds me of LiCheng & MuReng from Close To You: one is a playful chatterbox while the other is calm and serious... and the jester is constantly in his friend's personal space, not seeing he's making him uncomfortable. Not really something I appreciate.

Not bad but too many unecessary flashbacks! And the BGM is annyoing.

It was ok. Could have been better if :
- the premise had made sense. All this fugitive plot was useless. When the neighboor saw him, why didn't he cry for help? His mom was killed in the afternoon and he went home at night. He just had to give his alibi to be cleared. You'd think forensic didn't exist in Japan at that time...
- the MC had done actual investigation. He goes back in the past but does nothing but follow one girl for 50% of the series. At no point does he use his adult brain for some detective work (who could be the possible perpetrators).

That's exactly what I feel. All style but no substance.

As I said my issue is with romcom. I do watch and enjoy other kdramas mainly thriller, sf, horror etc . Last romcom I saw was Mad for Each Other and Iiked it because of its fresh concept and simple but efficient directing. Nowadays I enjoy chinese and japanese romcom more because they don't rely so much on overused clichés and 2D characters.

Still no news?!

Still no news?!

Dropped at episode 1. I've no patience anymore for korean romcom. I've been into kdramas since 2008 and I've noticed there's no creativity, no originality nowadays. They've been recycling 2000's dramas for years. Same stories, same characters, same directing...
