don't wanna compare but this has been domundi era now, they are eating so hard rnn, like the insane visuals of…
They've been "eating hard" for a long time. Cutie Pie is one of the most watched BLs of all time with a half a billion views just on YouTube and I'm not sure how many on IQIYI.
I saw Episodes 1 and 2 on You tube....now Eps 3 is nowhere to be found?
You'll need a subscription to IQIYI for the rest of them. The series is in progress, but only the first five episodes plus the special BTS stuff is on there right now. Mandee usually puts the first couple of episodes on YouTube to entice you to get a subscription. Or alternatively they'll run the whole thing on YouTube but in such an abbreviated form that you can barely understand what's going on.
I put it on my watch list, I very rarely watch dramas until all the episodes have dropped.
Not rare at all. Cutie Pie and TNP have won all sorts of awards, and Cutie Pie is one of the most watched bl's…
You certainly are. Now that I finished it I will be writing a more complete review. It had its good points but 18-year-olds acting like they are in grammar School is extremely cringey and the first few episodes were nothing but that, and there was also a significant amount of it in the last episode.
The music was relatively horrific. Not that TeeTee and Por are bad singers, but they're just okay and the engineering on the soundtracks was dreadful.
I'm very picky about music in dramas when the people in them aren't trained singers. You don't see Max singing in his dramas. If you're NuNew by all means sing. And I mean please do sing.
There were a lot of good parts, the chemistry between Duang and Qin. A pretty good representation of what a human being can look like when they've been raised in trauma, and what healing from it can look like even though it was very abbreviated.
I'll get into more once I've had a chance to think about it.
came back here to ventI saw a clip on insta and I felt so raged again Still not over how Qin’s parents treated…
Qin's parents probably shouldn't have had children. They weren't mean spirited, they just thought that being good parents required them becoming wealthy to be able to give their kid all the material things they thought he needed, and left raising the kid up to an abusive babysitter.
These folks didn't understand that he was going to remember being beaten and abused by the babysitter as a toddler, and thought he would be better off if they never talked about it again. So they get really bad points for being clueless human beings.
If you notice Qin is an only child.
I actually give the writer's credit for dealing with healing from childhood trauma at all. They hit upon the essential elements of healing but compressed it way beyond what would happen in real life.
Maybe they gave up after the first episode which was pretty unwatchable. If it didn't have such a high rating…
I don't even rate shows if I haven't watched the whole thing. I'm now on episode 6 of the series and it is improving. The first few episodes were more like the interactions between kids having childhood crushes in grade school.
A rare win for DMD! This show could've gone sooo wrong because there is so many moments that can be cringe if…
Not rare at all. Cutie Pie and TNP have won all sorts of awards, and Cutie Pie is one of the most watched bl's of all time. It currently has more than half a billion views.
Khemjira has almost as good a rating as this series. And either way ratings don't tell the entire story. It's how many people are watching it and how many awards does it win.
I'm pissed seeing so many people rating this series 1 which it definitely doesn't deserve!
Maybe they gave up after the first episode which was pretty unwatchable. If it didn't have such a high rating I wouldn't have continued. I'm on episode 4 now and it's picking up. I don't rate shows until I've watched the whole thing.
Just starting to watch it, but I wouldn't expect any NC scenes in a series rated for teens 13 plus.
The content rating above says teens 13 and older. Usually if there is a mature version there's a separate listing in MDL for uncut. This is the only listing for this drama on MDL.
Then you didn't understand. Kuea's family was Thai aristocracy. They had a house full of maids. Early on Kuea…
Ask Prince Charles. He doesn't even know how to squeeze the toothpaste out of a tube onto a toothbrush. You're talking about a level of living that even normal rich people don't know.
If you've never been in a kitchen the likelihood is you don't know how to cook anything much less what knife to use when doing it. It's not rocket science.
So many things wrong but i laugh how the guy is supposedly smart enough to lead a "double life": he goes…
Then you didn't understand. Kuea's family was Thai aristocracy. They had a house full of maids. Early on Kuea tells Kondiao that he had never even been in a kitchen before much less knew how to cut or cook anything. It wasn't that he was dumb it was the way he was brought up. And he didn't have any interest in learning how to cook so he didn't. He was rich enough to order in food. But he was interested in music and superbikes so he learned a lot about both of those. Got it now?
EP1- ML and FL successfully sexually assaulted each other. Congratulations to both of these folks. - FL is so…
No he isn't and neither is the actor who plays him. In the show the ex-boyfriend has him investigated and finds the only relationship he ever had was with a woman long ago. I think this was a plot device to parallel Gulf's personal dating history in 2019 when he starred TharnType.
Took me forever to find this somewhere with English subtitles. Finally found it on Dailymotion which has a horrible search engine but I found a username Sakura Felix Drama who has the whole series under her name. Only problem is you have to scroll down through a million dramas to find it and there are too many really annoying advertisements. I pay for an ad free experience when I can find it.
About the discussion of who assaulted who, they both did, but she was way more guilty. She wanted a baby and I think if she had to tie him down she would have done it.
Other than that:
The good parts. Really good chemistry between the ML and FL.
Innovative plot about assumptions.
-- just because you're dressed flamboyantly and have a career as a makeup artist doesn't necessarily mean you're gay.
-- just because you're sweet to your wife doesn't mean you have no backbone and aren't capable of protecting yourself and her.
-- Just because you're brought up in high class society doesn't let mean that you can't grow up to be an entitled brat and unworthy to be anyone's husband. much less anyone's father.
There are themes of authenticity, being your real self and therefore incapable of being blackmailed for a perceived low class up bringing and criminal father.
And a parallel was brought forward between the ML and Gulf whose first drama was staring as the gay lover to Tharn (played by Mew Suppasit). Gulf's only known relationship was with a woman, someone he dated for several years during high school and maybe college.
Now for the bad.
The bad was so bad that it almost erased all the good parts.
Endless flashbacks that had me scrolling through half of some of the episodes. Each one should have been about an hour or maybe an hour and 10 minutes. There was too much wasted time spent on flashbacks, sometimes occurring only 5 minutes before they flashed back on it.
Really dumb over the top characters. The worst of them was Jan, her dramatics, annoying marketing tactics and really bad business sense. It's amazing she didn't go bankrupt years ago.
The ex-boyfriend was Shakespearean evil with too many people excusing heinous behavior. Everyone from his mother, to his maids, to his slutty baby mama turned saint. I understand dramatic license but this guy committed so many crimes there's no way he wouldn't have been in prison long ago for everything he'd done.
The redemption plot for the ML's father was way too simple. You don't go from being extremely angry, rightly so, to forgiving without as much as a discussion. But it seems like Dad did repent even if they never did have what I consider a reasonable discussion about the past.
I'm glad I got to see it, but I'll probably never watch it again given all the commercials and the really long episodes filled with crap. The producers should do a severe edit of this thing and put it on Netflix where I could watch it in peace without all the BS.
