It's based on a novel.

I am loving it so far.

According to the novel Lian actually head over heels and love with Kuae. So the kiss on the cheek was genuine.

So I read it this summary from the novel which is posted in the recent discussions. Although I'm loving the show I don't think they do a very good job of explaining things which is unfortunate. So according the novel Lian was already interested in Kuae's music and would often check out his YouTube channel. He had ready been a patron of Gemini for at least 5 years. Jay had actually just hired Kuae and was gushing about his new singer to Lian. So Lian was actually at the Bar when Kirin came In to perform. He was surprised to see Kuae who he had just dropped off at home lol. It was then he realized that if Kuae had one secret he probably had my more. That is when he really started to investigate him. This is also what partly led to their fight because he was angry at himself for realizing that while Kuae was in the UK he had ended up missing such an important part of who Kuae is. So he said things out of Anger that he didn't mean. He obviously didn't realize how much hurt he would cause or that Kuae would say he wanted the engagement to end. That point he knew he'd messed up because if Kuae had wanted the engagement to end then that would mean big trouble for Lian. Apparently in the novel Kuae ends up keeping the Kirin identity for a lot longer in then in the show. It's kind of an interesting thing because in a way because Lian sees that Kuae dresses prim and proper. Actually dresses to match because he thinks that's what Kuae wants to see. When he relaxes he and Kuae tend have the same style. So I guess you could say they don't really know each other. By having him move in it means they will have a better chance to get to know each other. Does this help you?

Recently finished that, and ended up loving it!

I guess because he was limited in what he could fit in his suitcase that was the only way for him carry them.🤷🏻‍♀️

No he wants him to be himself and gradually come to trust him enough to let down his walls and tell him about his "secrets". There has been a couple times where he has almost admitted and caught himself. So for that Lian is willing to "help" him lol.

Behavior does matter because his dad's in an ambassador although it doesn't say that in the show.

It doesn't say what his dad does in the show but his dad's an ambassador so his behavior does matter.

Both said things they didn't mean out of hurt and anger. Lian said he didn't love him, but he meant he doesn't love Kuae hiding his true self.

Your welcome. I actually hope they get their own series

Exactly. I've been reading this summary in recent discussions and I wish they'd left some of the stuff in there for context. For instance even though it was mentioned briefly that Lian had a regular table he had been previously going to the Gemini for like 5 years because he liked the music. Jay had Come over to him and was gushing about this new singer he hired so even though his identity was masked obviously Lian he was. Hopefully he was angry because he literally just dropped Kuae home. It's in the show it made it seem like he'd been playing at the Gemini for quite some time so if Lian was a regular there wouldn't his identity have been revealed sooner rather than through videos that he was being sent. Also Lian what would watch his YouTube channel which had like something like 1 million views. So it was after that he's really started investigating Kirin because he knew that if Kuae was keeping secret there were other things he'd be keeping as a secret. Also he kept his Kirin identity longer in the novels he actually was ended up performing at a concert in France and because he was actually well known and that was part of his draw that nobody knew truly knew who he was a lot of his fans ended up going there. It was at the concert that he had Actually planned to revealed his identity.

Only reason I can see people having a problem with him having plush dolls is because they don't think it's very manly. Which I think is the wrong way to think about.

Well we know that he's not exactly great at expressing himself lol.

You are welcome 😃.

He actually doesn't care that he's been doing it before he cares that he's been lying about it. Someone else said that you know that he loves him and when Kuae was in the UK which is where the Kirin persona started he was basically looking after him from a far so he's partly angry at himself that he missed such a huge chunk of who Kuae is, also at Kuae for feeling like he has to hide it from him. But of course this is better explain to the novel they don't really do a great job of explaining it in the show.

Someone else said they were there before so he didn't just have them installed just to keep an eye on him I don't think

I think they his parents refer to him that ways because I think in their eyes he still like a little boy because it's not shown so much in the drama but apparently in the novel they send him off to boarding school at age 7 so and I'm sure that he probably came home on breaks and stuff but if you think about it that means he was away for much of the year and then after he graduated he probably he went to the UK so I think that they probably still kind of view him as not necessarily as a child, but not necessarily as an adult either I mean that is my view point.

It's called security cameras lol, a lot of houses have them in case of break ins.

For anyone bashing the show it must be doing something right.

Cutie Pie is the first BL series in thai TV history airing on workpointTV (to understand the magnitude: workpoint has billions of views and multiple times more subscribers than gmmtv), the series is gaining extreme traction, including overseas markets (rights have already sold to Japan and Korea, it's always trending on weibo when it airs), it's the thai drama with the quickest viewership on youtube gaining over a million views under 24 hours for every part (not per episode, one single part of an episode (!), the show is already clocking in 35+ million views and it's not even halfway in, on a completely new channel, with actors from a small talent agency, it's already overtaken thai dramas who were expected to be huge, including het dramas with very popular actors), the series OST is the longest charting one ever on T-Pop Stage (Thailand's biggest music show), sponsors and advertisers who never booked BL stars before are fighting to get their hands on the actors. People are speculating that KinnPorsche is the only thing which might brake the increasing explosion but... KP has a different target audience than CT and the KP actors are already selling a very different image.

Airing on WorkpointTV is indeed signifying a change in the whole industry. It is amazing that Workpoint is entering the BL market. They are certainly influential in the Thai mainstream tv industry.

Anyway, sorry that I’m going to nitpick, but comparing WorkpointTV to GMMTV is like comparing apple to orange.

GMMTV should be compared to Domundi as both are content producers, and WorkpointTV is to GMM25 as both are terrestrial Thai tv channels. This will support your case even better as GMM25 has much lower ratings than WorkpointTV.

Go to the Reddit thread it's a lot more positive than here where everybody's just bashing the s*** out the show.
