Not as good as some people say, but not that bad either
One of the first comments under the last episode of Cutie Pie on YT is something along the lines - "this show sets the new standard for BLs". Is it true? Fuck no. A very questionable plot and a story that gets progressively more boring with each episode are two of many reasons why it's not. The complete lack of communication between characters, and then magical reconciling in like a, 5 minute-long scene is one of the said, other reasons. On the other hand, one of the comments here asks - "was the script written by a child?" Was it? I don't think it was(at least not fully). There are some scenes and dialogues that make you go - who tf wrote that? but it isn't that bad. You can really see how the show tries to address many social issues, like, for example marriage equality. It is, however, very vague in that regard, by for example, having a one minute conversation between characters, full of well-known slogans and a pretty sophisticated dialogue with the simplest of messages. But enough with the "bad", let us now talk about the good:
1. NuerSyn - I don't think I need to explain, but for those who haven't watched - it is worth watching the series for something like 1 hour of screentime these two precious boys have.
2. Great acting and the undeniable chemistry of each of the couples which is visible in the way each of the couples look at one another, their each makeout session, and their overall acting skills.
3. Nunew's voice. Each of the songs in this series is really, really good, primarily due to Nunew's angelic voice.
4. THE scenes. Very sensual and beautiful kiss/makeout scenes scattered around the whole show and the amount of kisses/pecks in general.
5. Foei - this guy is hilarious. No matter how boring a scene was, he could make it great all by himself.
6. Nong - I don't really like Chihuahuas, but this one was cute as hell.
You can probably see now, that most of the "goods" are not that significant, whereas the "bads" are. However, I rate BLs mostly by the amount of enjoyment it brought me, and this one delivered quite well so despite all the bigger and smaller flaws, a 7.5 score seemed to me the most accurate.
