Sceptical at first, but I'm glad I gave it a shot
I don’t know how else to put it but Cutie Pie is every BL fan’s yaoi dream. Perfectly flawless men in expensive outfits, fabulously wealthy (and smart), remarkably protective and loving. 100% sensual romance.
I was initially sceptical of Cutie Pie because 1. I’ve never been a fan of Zee (couldn’t finish Why R U?, too dull), and 2. The premise sounds like it could turn into a trope-laden cringefest. Also, the first episode was a little hard to get through.
But the series just kept getting better. Who needs a deep plot or complex character development when you can have 100% sensual romantic fluff, rich-person style?
Read: Lian and Yi are absolutely whipped for their guys, and Foei (Lian’s personal assistant) is all of us BL fangirls who are rooting for the couples.
Audiences are treated to a disgustingly clingy and mushy Lian in private. From long, loving gazes to hungry kisses that seem to go on forever, my mind was blown by the sheer quantity and quality of top-notch kisses in this series.
Yi and Diao’s backstory is not revealed upfront, so audiences are largely clueless when their narrative unfolds. I thought their dynamic reminded me of an older sibling being overprotective of his stepbrother, probably because their age gap appeared far more pronounced than ZeeNunew’s. Not sure if it was just their characters, but I thought their romance came off a little awkward and forced.
Lastly, Synn and Nuer. This couple came out of nowhere, but they became whipped cream part 3. They had an understated chemistry that didn’t quite reach its full potential.
Overall, Cutie Pie is a fevered yaoi dream I don’t wanna wake up from.
