If you are a Cutie Pie/ ZeeNew fan, then this series is for you. If you're like me, then it's not
The thing with me and sequels/ special episodes from a previous series is that it never ever lives up to the predecessor and thus, gets a lower score from me. And this is the case with 'Cutie Pie 2 You'.
Story-6/10
I can't really say that there isn't a plot because the plot is Kura and Lian finally got married. Episodes 1 to 3 were episodes leading up to thier big day- marriage. But what got to me is thier urgency of getting married and then Kura going off to South Korea to start living his dream as the singer Kirin, leaving his new husband back home in Thailand. I honestly wanted to know why they had to get married so quickly if they were basically going to have a long distance relationship. I mean I get that they love each other so much- it just did not make any sense to me.
These special episodes actually shocked me due to the fact that the two supporting male couples actually stole the series from the MC. And that shocked me as I really wasn't that invested in Khondiao and Yi in 'Cutie Pie ' as I was here. I also adore seeing what little development of Neur and Syn's relationship (believe me, it was little). For that, I am giving a 6.
Acting/ Cast- 7.5/10
As stated above, the actors who played Neur, Syn, Yi and Khondiao played thier characters well as I was actually invested in them when I saw them on the screen. I would even say that Zee's character was also okay. New's character- not so much. I felt that he somehow got more annoying this part. So for that, I will give a 7.5.
Music-8/10
The music was bopping in the first season and it's still bopping here. So, for that I will give an 8.
Rewatch Valu-3/10
Unfortunately, I felt like this was a waste of my time. I also felt that this was unnecessarily dragged out to four episodes, which could have been told in less. As such, I am giving a 3.
Overall-6/10
Overall, I must say that it was nice to see the supporting characters again. But Kura is still annoying as ever and Lian basically will still do anything for him.
