Why was KinnPorsche brought up, regarding a discussion on "why certain viewers have issues" with Cutie Pie? These are two entirely different series, that don't focus on similar topics, in their respective shows. Was Lian supposed to be the heir of a mafia family? I know that Kirin used to play the drums, but him sharing a love of music that Porchay and Wik have is purely coincidental.

"If majority of the comments here are criticism it doesn’t make it a haters club but maybe the show is really just bad (?). Just because you don’t see it that way doesn’t make others’ comment wrong/hate/toxic."

I still say, that the negative, and critical reactions were something that the viewers, who do like the series, weren't expecting to come across. We all know that this is the "comments" section, but I guess it's hard to see postings, in which folks aren't all enraptured with each and every scene. Or certain scenes. Or just being wowed by the onscreen presence of the actors.

There must have been an email sent out to rally folks to this thread. 😀 😃 😀

Which is really sad.

Yup. Their friend's older brother can definitely sense that there's a growing, and mutual attraction between Amber and Li Chien.

Was Meow sheltered by his adoptive family for most of his life?

This series is just bad, and not even in the good way. I'll wait until all the episodes have aired, and then binge watch it, while smoking a bowl.

"Lian is the embodiment of a toxic masculine male lead who solves his problems through force and Kuea is literally the stereotype for the "innocent but not like other girls cause she rides a bike" female lead so i probably shouldn't have gotten my hopes up that high urgh."

Hilarious 😂 😃

Taiwan has done it again, with this series. So poignant, touching, and beautiful.

OMG....those folks did say that in the beginning weeks of the series. I totally forgot about it.

The novel argument is weird, because most TV/Movie adaptions are supposed to stand on their own, from the novel. The hopeful success of the adaption, should want to make the viewer, seek out the novel. Not because they couldn't figure out what the hell was going on with the characters in the series, but because they want to know more about them.

As for the light and fluffy comments, I wasn't expecting this series to be that type of show, to be perfectly honest with you. What I thought we were going to see, was a plot centered on two male characters, who were promised to one another, in their childhoods, to have an arranged marriage as adults, and how they cope with it.

How that was going to happen was the mystery.

Then the pilot teaser was released, and we had clips/images of this "doll-like" Kuea, having to go through the motions of participating in dinner, with his fiance Lian. Kuea, who's resentful that he has to "put on this facade" of being the "perfect fiance" to his fiance, has this "other life", in which he's an up and coming musician, who also likes fast cars. We got more insight about Kuea/Kirin in that teaser, than what was shown about Lian.

The first two episodes air, and we get Lian telling a heartbroken, and confused Kuea, that he doesn't love him. Kuea isn't given ANY time to actually recover from hearing that said to him, by his potential spouse, because he's then forced to move into his fiance's house, the man that just told him that he doesn't love him.

That Kuea actually does it, is what made me go, "what in the hell?!" The fire, fight, and drive went out of Kuea, to the point, that in the last episode we watched, he talked about ALL of his interests, the things that made him happy, made him who he is (or was) as totally frivolous things. Diao, and not his potential spouse (who knows ALL of this about him) had to be the one, to remind him, that those things aren't bad things about him.

Yet, I'm supposed to want Lian and Kuea to end up together, within the next two episodes?!

C'mon.

That's a great analogy.

"Like are people really not seeing how creepy this is or do they just not want to admit it?"

I don’t think that they want to admit the creepy factor. I don’t think they expected this sort of negative reaction to this TV adaption, and that's why we continue to see
the reactionary postings of the viewers that do like the series, being really hurt, and upset that we 'Negative Nancy's', continue to bring up the lingering issues with this series. In the beginning, it was all about "just have some patience". Then it was, "if you've read the book". Now it's "the series was never supposed to be light and fluffy".

Not the OST from "Free Will". LMAO.

You are on fire with these posts!! I'm going to miss this thread, when the last episode airs.

😃

Hilarious 😂 😃

No, CP never said it was going to be "fluffy", but the trailer also presented a plot that the series failed to produce.

Also, CP and KP are two totally different series, with completely different plots. The insistent need to try, and make some sort of "these two are the same" argument, really continues to put CP in a disadvantage position.

"Are we really going to believe that he would tell Kuea in 2 days when he has been saying he will come clean to him since the 2nd or 3rd ep."

I think that was the lingering hope that some viewers may of had, regarding Lian and his motivations. Folks kept hoping for the best, and Lian continued to not come clean about what he knows. Even after he finally got Kuea into bed with him.

The "Unforgotten Night" series, starring Yoon and Ton. I think it premieres in June 2022.

Maybe folks feel that way, because they just don't get why Kuea is so hesitant in revealing his true self to Lian. As much as Kuea feels that he's in love with Lian, the bottom line is that he still just doesn't have enough faith and trust in him. Which is something that Lian hasn't yet been able to get Kuea to believe in him, due to him not saying anything about what he knows regarding his family. So the never-ending miscommunication cycle, continues to keep these two in this ridiculous tsunami of whose lies, and mistruths are more horrible to the other.
