Okay so I am a big fan of DMD so I'm gonna be as unbiased as possible with this. I'm rating this based on my enjoyment of the series not necessarily the quality of it.

I really enjoyed watching this series. It was cute and fluffy at times and I adored the majority of the characters.

Now was there a need for 3 couples? No, not in my opinion. I loved each couple to a certain extent but I feel as though the 2nd and 3rd couple could have been done differently. I personally loved NuerSyn....BUT....I do feel as though their story was really unnecessary. A lot of it didn't make sense and due to them being a 3rd couple they started developing really slowly and then it just rushed them within the last 2 eps which I think they could have been given more depth. Granted I'm glad we did get them because TutorYim are adorable <3

The 2nd couple being YiDiao....yeah there isn't too much to say on them. Their story isn't really complete. Though I do think they should have had their own series (which is still a possibility) instead of being within CutiePie....purely because there is so much more to it and its a lot more complex than shown in this series. They are very toxic and I just felt myself wanting to protect Diao the whole time (esp in the earlier eps). The acting from MaxNat did sometimes feel robotic but overall they did a good job.

Onto the main couple LianKuea. I have to start by saying this is NuNew's first ever series and he did so well with what he was given. Zee has never dissapointed me before with his acting and he didn't dissapoint this time either. It's no secret ZeeNuNew have insane chemistry, you only have to look at them to know that and this series really did show that. I'll never fully understand their story though to be honest. Lian flat out said in the beginning he doesn't love Kuea but then knowing full well Kuea loved him, continue to pursue him into an engagement Kuea had decided he didn't want. Now I know he did that because he did really love him but sometimes there were parallels that contradicted that. I have to admit it was toxic at times, there was no trust from either side and they both kept secrets where they didn't need to be kept. Every episode had me screaming at one of them to tell the truth to the other but everything was kept secret till the very last episode....or was it? No it wasnt.....to add on to them not telling each other things, Lian knew all along about Kuea and his other life. Putting all that aside, the love they had for each other was more than genuine and that much we could see through their actions.

I have to emphasize the LGBTQ+ representation in this was incredible. The importance of consent was also such a major thing in this. I'm glad they focused on those points aswell as the story. There are alot of series that don't.

Last but not least the OST's. I can't say enough about NuNew's voice. INSANE. All of the OST's were beautiful and I'm really glad they chose to get the cast involved in them including the MV's.
