Which ep he will be himself? 2 episodes in, first time watcher here
welcome to the wonderful cutie pie fandom! and my sincerest apologies for the delayed response. i was dealing with a few personal matters. i'm here now, and i'll be more than happy to help
"Which ep he will be himself?"
kuea lowers his guard around lian starting from episode 2, suspecting that he was the man who assisted him during a vulnerable moment of intoxication and loneliness. the tide turns in episode 8 when lian confirms kuea's long-held suspicion. kuea then becomes more relaxed and genuine in his interactions with the man
"that night, it was you, wasn't it? why didn't you say anything?" "i wanted to wait for you to be ready to tell me everything yourself. to see that i love you through my actions" (episode 8)
I would have done the same thing for my friend ,tooIs the friendship between girls so hard and suspicious nowadays?🥲
it's a common pitfall in kdramas, isn't it? they emotionally wreck the second male leads for plot points
kdramas (asian dramas in general) have some work to do in terms of gay representation, but they're trying and slowly moving away from the outdated practice of hiding or downplaying gay characters' identities. it's a promising step forward!

+"straight" stories can’t go five minutes without the sexualization of women and the non-platonic framing of nearly every woman-man dynamic. these people don't get to shame us for seeing something deeper than "friendship" between two women or two men
Not everyone is hating only the drama queens. Because simply we already have the answer to why we ended up with…
the responsibility of bringing a gay story to life should be placed in the hands of those who honor the story's truth and stand firm against prejudicial societal influences
bending to the regressive demands of homophobic voices and delivering a diluted version of the source material to maximize profits betrays the spirit of artistic expression itself. the timidity of the producers merits neither commendation nor applause
"It was filmed years ago Before Korea was more open to Bls"
clinging to these "safe" depictions of gay characters and relationships is how we'll stay stuck in the same loop
the stress of daily life has been weighing me down. in search of comfort, i revisited "cutie pie" and it felt as though i were reuniting or catching up with an old friend. zeenunew's chemistry and heartwarming moments were the perfect antidote for my weary heart and mind
with gay marriage now legal in thailand, i'm holding out hope for a new zeenunew series featuring their wedding and honeymoon. "the next prince" might deliver similar moments. or we might be fortunate enough to watch another zeenunew series that chronicles their journey to marital bliss
i'll settle for any new zeenunew content i can get my hands on
I've always felt like Kuea didn't emotionally want the physical side of the relationship or to be married. it…
nunew's character, kuea, has always sought a fulfilling romantic relationship with lian. his love for lian pushed him to the edge of heartbreak and depression when he misinterpreted lian's feelings as unrequited, so much so that he was willing to call off their engagement. he wished to marry a man who loved him back. even then, he continued to hope for lian's love
"i've been waiting for you my whole life. because i love you" (episode 1) "every time i say that word, it's like you're sick of it. the word "love," you've never said it to me once. do you even love me?" (episode 1)
lian's understanding of kuea's love, followed by his apology and loving actions, brought kuea immense joy and solidified their mutual desire to tie the knot. at no point did kuea express dissatisfaction with the physical or marital side of their relationship
The bigger question is, how did you get on this page?
"... these kind of disgusting shows that goes against human nature"
human nature gives us war, colonization, slavery, speciesism, systemic oppression, etc. it builds empires and societies on blood. gay love is a welcome rebellion
the week-long wait for a new zee and nunew episode feels like forever, and to fill the void, i've been revisiting all their "cutie pie" moments. their chemistry is off the charts!

their hearts are reserved for their respective love interests. no one else will hold the same power over them
