Funny and serious!
Funny and serious, but with an actual plot!I almost started crying when So-Young puts the King's robe back together in the final episode. It did feel kind of long -I was uping the watch speed to get some parts over with - and I was questing dropping it around episode 11, but the last 3 episodes saved it for me. Lady-In-Waiting Choi and the Royal Cook were great! They had me giggling and 'Ooooo'! Overall pretty good, but wouldn't rewatch it. Oh; the music was nice too and all the cast looked great!
This was a great recommendation from my friend Simar, and I'm excited to talk to her about it after Spring Break!

The Quintessential Mafia Romance, But Gay!
Indeed the quintessential mafia romance story. Kinn and Porsche, besides the fact they took fuck-it-out instead of talk-it-out seriously, were cute, funny, and just an overall joy and exciting to watch. The actors had insane chemistry, and every sex scene was surprisingly graphic! The plot as a whole is incredible; every character was played phenomenally! I was angry, I was happy, I was heartbroken, I was laughing! I couldn't trust anyone, but Porsche and Porchay! Oh, Porchay! Kim needs to get his feeling sorted and why was the fact Kim had a 'Manner of Death' style murder bored behind a picture never addressed? Why was he so curious, other than him being nosy? Also, he ran from Porchay a lot, like dude get it together.Vegas is an f-ing psycho, there is no way Pete doesn't have Stockholm syndrome. You can not convince me otherwise; I refuse to believe Pete could fall for a crazy person like that. (Quick reflection; I still think that Pete was interacting with Vegas to make it out alive /survive, but after a while started to actually fall for him. Cause Pete took a calculated risk going into the minor family house to spy but certainly hadn't been interested in Vegas romantically until they began being emotionally vulnerable towards one another.)
Tankhun and Yok were highlights of comedy. Erica! Oh, that's a woman if I've ever seen one! I love her, and she deserved to live! The ending too! Porsche got the big gun he wanted!
The fact he's only on Kinn's side, even after he took over the minor family, struck my heart. I am sad about the scene with Porchay, Porsche and their mom cause I feel like she has no idea who they are and just seems confused. Also, was not a fan of the sexual assault from Kinn. Porsche was under the effects of a date rape drug and Kinn took advantage of Porsche. I'm glad it was talked about but that doesn't make it any more ok.

My expectations were met!
Everything?! Was! So! Great!! The chemistry, the music, the acting! All 3 couples were amazing. Nuer and Syn were adorable. Hai Yi and Diao were questionable at times but turned out good. Kuea and Hai Lian were the best! Oh my God, they were incredible; their scenes! The communication, the consent, the Boun Prem comeo, FOEI!?!? And the humour! The pacing was excellent, the only thing I can compare it to would be 'HIStory 3; Trapped' but even then, Cutie Pie has its category because of the quick layers, like Trapped, but less action-packed? Cutie Pie flowed at a nice pace and had well-developed couples. The sexy scenes felt comfortable. Lian was caring and wasn't using sex as a way to be aggressive or dominant; it was a way to be closer to Kuea and show that Lian loves him. The way Kuea used his music as an outlet for what he was feeling and it felt genuine. It wasn't awkward to watch and gave more meaning to the show instead of feeling like a filler scene. Also, the cinematography was outstanding; some of those shots looked like they came from a Hollywood-level budget! I had a lot of expectations going into this and was so awed at how they were met and am so excited to see the BL world can evolve from college and lack of consent. I would highly recommend this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
