THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SERIESSS!
BROOO!!! THIS S JUST SO PERFECTTT!!! idk why people gave this such a low ratinggg! maybe this series is just not their type but for me? this is literally what i am looking for in bl series. their acting? the ost? the story? the visual? (boy they're just so fit in each other) it's so perfect.. and anyway, if u don't want an age gap into relationship and excellent acting (also childhood friends to lover) this series is just not for u. please don't watch it if u don't want to but give it a try if you're interested. after episode by episode the story just makes sense. they're in arrange marriage so there's also a trust issue, secret feelings and doubt but dw they are all cleared out by the episodes and they also trust each other!! anyway, i stan them now as a couple (since they said that they're a couple) and also as an individual. they're also a great singer especially NuNew Chawarinn! i love his voice so muchhh!!! (make sure to check his MV's and Covers) special mention to their side coupless, omg i love NuerSyn bcs they're in a healthy relationship and came from enemies to loversss! then for YiDiao, they're really cute, they just have a secret feelings for each other but they are denying it until Yi can't and ofc Diao is so cute dksksk he's really innocent, i love him in this series, he's just so supportive to Kuea and so pure! this is funny too, lol dksksk and many people think this has no plot? bro? are u even reading the subtitle? they just really don't like cutie pie but keep watching it so they could give this a bad review lol. and also i think people who's watching are twisting their words so they could make think people it's weird? lmao anyway, good luck with this seriess!Was this review helpful to you?

DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS
i had this drama on my list for a while but always put it off due to the bad reviews, so when i finally watched it i wasn’t expecting much, but omg this has to be one of my favourite bls i’ve watched so far!Everything from the characters, the acting, the visuals, the soundtrack and the couples, i love it so much. i honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this show. I really wanna mention how the show focuses on gay marriage and really brings light to how 2 men or 2 women loving eachother is no different to a man and woman loving eachother, due to gay marriage not being legalised and fully excepted in thailand like opposite sex couples are. I was really impressed that they shed light onto such an important issue.
HIA LIAN AND KUEA:
The main thing i saw that people had an issue with was the toxicity between Hia Lian and Kuea, but if you compare it to some other bl couples they really aren’t toxic at all, it was actually very refreshing. These guys made me smile so much my mouth would hurt! At the beginning their relationship was very one sided with Kuea being the only one seemingly interested, but when he decides to call off the arranged engagement due to Hia Lian basically rejecting him, Hia then realises his actual feelings towards kuea. We see their relationship grow throughout the series and their chemistry is unmatched! And omg the spicy scenes… they weren’t just full on sex, but you could see the passion and love they feel for eachother just by kissing. Not to mention the consent!!! I loved that Hia always made sure Kuea was okay with what they were doing it was lovely to see, considering how common dubious consent and r*pe is in bls. ZeeNuNew seriously did an amazing job.
OTHER COUPLES:
This is genuinely the only show where i’ve actually enjoyed the side couples.
i really loved Hia Yi and Khondiao, they were actually adorable. At first i was a little worried where they’re relationship would go, but it just kept getting better. Yi cares for Diao so much, at first it was because he felt guilty since he was the reason Diao lost some of his childhood memories, but you could really see the love they have for eachother as their relationship grew and i really started rooting for them. Diao was a little annoying at times i wont lie… But Nat did a great job playing him. Both Nat and Max did amazing.
Now for Syn and Nuer, i am so obsessed with this couple! I just wish they had more screen time but im excited to watch Cutie Pie 2 to see the rest of their story. I’m a sucker for Enemies to Lovers and i also loved Yim in Bed Friend so i may be being biased but i really enjoyed every scene between them.
ACTING:
I really wanna dedicate a paragraph to NuNew because holy shit that man is not only stunning but insanely talented. I couldn’t believe this was his first drama! His acting was so raw and real, he really knew how to portray different emotions. The crying scene in episode 12 made me cry from how real it felt. And i of course have to mention his gorgeous voice, when Kuea first started singing on stage i literally prepared myself to cringe but i ended up putting my headphones in and turning up the volume, he gave me chills everytime. NuNew seriously deserves every award he’s received.
The rest of the cast also did an amazing job especially Zee, i really loved him in Why R U and he continued to impress me, not to mention he is absolutely gorgeous.
HUMOUR:
I wasn’t expecting this drama to have so much comedic relief but some scenes honestly had me flying, all the characters got along so well and it was really nice to see friends in a bl genuinely love and support eachother.
SOUNDTRACK:
The soundtrack in this series was so good! From the songs Kuea would sing to the actual ost and even theme song.
—
There are so many other things about this show that i loved but i’ll just leave it here. I think cutie pie is so overhated and i have no idea why, I know everybody has preferences and i do understand why people may see Lian as controlling at first, but he literally allowed Kuea to live his actual life even if it meant he was being constantly lied to.
i enjoyed every second of this show and i’ll definitely be watching S2 and rewatching the show in general. I couldn’t recommend more!

Amazing!
This show is beautiful! I love it! I love the story! I love all the cast, they did an incredible job of acting! It's my top 3 shows! You have to watch it! If you want to. I love the plot and the story. Hopefully, there will be more Cutie Pie. I know there is Cutie Pie 2 You next. But I want more. I've already seen Cutie Pie 2 You. DomundiTV is amazing! I love everyone there and the cast from the show. I don't know how you would describe it. It's just the most amazing show I've ever seen! I love NuNew's voice he is such a great singer including others' cast. I love the setting. I kinda didn't like it in episode 1 it was a bit slow at that time. But when you get to the next episode and more it gets better.Everything is very beautiful! It's very emotional. Especially Cutie Pie 2 You. I'm very excited about other series that don't connect to this show except for Naughty Babe because they have the same name Kon-Diao and Hia Yi. Anyway, I'm very excited about Bed Friend, Middleman's Love, Zomvivor, The Next Prince, and Love Upon a Time. Zomvivor especially because it has everyone including Boss, Boun, and girls. Finally girls! This is excitement!

So cute!
I loved and still love this series! The story may not be so dramatic, but I love that. I love me some cute fluff! I've watched better plots, but that does NOT make this bad. I really liked it and thought it was really really cute and adorable. I also read the novel on meb and it really lives up to the novel in my opinion. The acting was so great and Nunew is a natural talent, he did so good! I kept forgetting it was his first work. And not only can he act he can also sing like an angel! The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful and fits well with the scenes.I keep going back and watching clips, because it's so cute and funny! I will highly recommend! Especially if you do not like too much angst. As someone who does not like angst this was perfect for me!

Pleasantly Surprised
This has a unique story concept. It has a strong beginning, but then the script gets a little off track. Episode 1 does a great job providing you the backstory of Kuea and Lian’s family, and how their friendship started. The storylines become a little hazy by episode 4. However, the last episode does end with a very uplifting message. The cast was great and did a great job with what they were given (the script has some problem areas with character development). The songs were great, but there were times they used music that did not fit the scene’s mood.Random Notes:
I was pleasantly surprised with this series. I was a little hesitant before watching this because I did not like Mandee’s last series (Why R U).
Lian’s house was used in the Baker Boys Series. Once again, I get a kick when I see a familiar location used in different series.

Plot/Storyline:
TBH the story was really interesting at first and I was hooked from the first few episodes. But from episode 7-8 onwards, it felt repetitive and there wasn't a huge climax or anything. The last few episodes felt very rushed, especially in 11 and 12 where I could kinda tell that the writers tried to squeeze in a conflict and resolve it in the end. However, they didn't have enough time to develop it well enough, in the end the two main characters barely resolved the issue.
Acting:
I think the acting in this show was superb with Zee and New. Especially for New since it's only his first series. As for Nat, some scenes were a little awkward but overall it was okay too. I really really loved Tutor and Yim's acting, even though they had very little screen time (they deserved more ://). They were really able to portray the vibes of innocent and pure love.
Music:
Oh my god, this series did such a great job with their music. It's even better when you find out the actors sang the OSTs themselves! New has such an amazing voice, he really is a gem. Aside from the original songs, New also covered some songs in the show which I fell in love with right after hearing it, such as Just Being Friendly by Tilly Birds (Go listen to this song, it's really worth it).
Overall, I think this series isn't as bad as everyone is saying it is. I'm really glad that they discussed the issue about the legalization of gay marriages. I do agree that the storyline could've been written a little better, but I think it's tolerable. To be honest, when I was watching this series, I was most excited for Nuea and Syn, they were so adorable and pure but sadly they literally only had like 5-10 minutes of screen time per episode. I think I would rewatch it again one day if I was bored and didn't have anything to do. I do appreciate the hard work that actors, director and staff put into the series!!

The great bl story who contain a lot of life lesson and support LGBTQ and marriage equality
I give all 5 stars because cutiepie the series is the best thai BL series i ever watch.The story is really great, instead using unnecessary conflict, they put what happen if you and your patner have lack of communication.
20years keua and 29 years lian have a big age gap and communication is one of their problem.
The love scene is really beautiful, they have a great way to show us , how to make love with consent. I rarely found consent love scene in BL but Cutiepie have it and that is really beautiful.
The ost is amazing, some of ost is singing by their cast Nunew, Nat, Tuto, and Zee. Not only the cast but also the queen of thai series ost phi Amp, also singing one ost and write all ost.
Phi ton thanasit also have one song in cutiepie ost.
Every episode will give us lesson about love relationship, friendship, how to respect someone.
The comedy in this series is really fresh and i am sure will make us happy
Thai people is already fight to have an marriage equality law, and cutiepie represent people who wanna have marriage equality, show that LGBTQ love is beautiful
After all, cutiepie the series is one of the best BL series you must watch

Fantastic
I have thoroughly loved watching this show. The acting is superb, the storyline silly but fun and the messages that it shares important, relevant and glorious.I wish that we could make some things obligatory for all humans to watch.
Love is love!
Communication and honesty are important in relationships!
Consent is essential!
Cute and funny and romantic and hot and frustrating and sad and joyful and wow, I am bereft that it is finished.
I'm not going to boast over how many BL I have watched to give myself credibility. But go and read the Youtube comments, sadly they are more supportive than some of the ones here. I thought I had found a community of my people but no, too much negativity for me.

Not a heavy story, but enjoyable!
It does not have a too heavy plot. The LGBTQ+ support is top notch and its overall a cute drama. The book from which the series was adapted is pretty shallow in itself, so I have to say that the series did quite well in adapting it. I enjoyed it. There were instances where the script was lacking and the episodes cud've been better paced, but the acting, production, and music was top notch. I wud still give the scripting a 7.5 because they tried their best to do what they cud as an adaption of the book. The theme had a much greater potential that what was shown, but they had to stick to the original novel according to the novel rights contract.It mostly revolves around lack of communication and self love - something we experience in everyday life. There is no third party "DRAMA" drama or villain fathers. The problems between the characters are of their own making and misunderstanding. The pressure to meet expectations and how one might bend backwards to fit into it is shown very well.
Zee has done an excellent job as Lian and NuNew despite being a newbie has done very well for his first role. The chemistry is amazing and the pairing of ZeeNuNew is very compatible. I would say the acting, soundtrack, and the production was the best part of the series.
I am looking forward to another series of Zee and NuNew and I hope their next series have a more deep and well done scripting as well.
The rewatch value for me is a full because I did rewatch it and I did enjoy it just the same.

BEST BL EVER
i really like the plot, especially the chemistry between zeenunew is really strong and real. also the acting of nunew, which is his first series, but he nailed it. sooo cool. and he is so lucky to be paired with p zee. because pzee already have a long experience work in entertainment industry. also the detail in cutie pie is, the outfit that nukuea weared. before he life with hia lian he always wear a suit, now since he move to condo with hia lian he always wear a casual outfit everyday. make him looks like boyfriend materialand the ost is easy listening, my fav is the one who had a line "oy khon narak" nunew's voice is so soft, you will fall in love with him for sure. i really reccomend you to watch it guys

Marriage equality does matter
The fact that the cast keep highlighting marriage equality is everything for me. Married with the one you love! You doesn't need to care about what others think of you if your love is real! Zee Pruk's acting skill is another level, please he deserved an award for his acting skill, as for Nunew, this is his first series, overall he did pretty good! Thumbs up!And I can say that the OST of this series is damn good, I wish they will make a cutie pie concert tho, I would love to buy the tickets. I'll definitely rewatch this series for thousand times! No regret! Trust me, just watch it!

Lovely, Life lesson, Great OST, no complicated plot twist
Do i read the novel? Yes I'am. Did I feel satisfied with the series adaptation? Yes. It thought you lesson of life, be yourself and you will be happy. Communicate to avoid misunderstand. I fell in love with the series when i stumbled accidentally on the official trailer. It captivated me. The mood, tone and cinematography caught me. I love when every episode ended, it give you feeling of cannot wait for next week/episode.Actor/Acting: 10/10, they acted so naturall like they ate the script. How they delivered make you believe that its really them. Zee!! He such wonderful actor, his expressive eyes, micro expresion. Crying scene such a great cryer i would say. NuNew, for newbie and 1 series. He was so great, better than few actors who already acted in so many series but still acting stiff.
OST: 10/10. All songs for the series are GREAT!!! Marvelous. Each song tell what are the emotions/ context its all about.
Cinematography: 10/10. It was perfectly shot, kdrama style. I not sure how much their spent for each location, but it perfect. Lughthing, tone, mood all suitable for each concept.
I'm read a lot of comments said its toxic? What kind of toxic, age gap? Because the partner control the other? If you see more context, their problem is communication issue, this is what the series try to deliver, communicate and say what each other want to say. Which the series show it the end couples are communicate and finally the misunderstanding was solved, and they equal partner. Another thing I like bout the series was when their called out some inappropriate issue that really happened in real life, like teasing about your friend sex life, tease about girl on period (which some of us found it sensitive), about 1 scene that they cut it out. Personally i think, no need to delete the scene, it actually happen ( accident in sports mostlikely football/soccer) but again different culture different point of view. They also not so subtle calling out TH gov for the marriage equality. Even the actors keep mention a lot of times for this right.
And overall, this series if light series, fluff, lovely friendship, and the conflict in cursed EP or EP11 not because of 3rd party but because of main character communication issue.
Love youself, make yourself happy then only you can make other people happy. Support marriagr equality!! Happy watch. I not sure how many times I rewatch all the episode
