Synopsis
Lian Kilen Wang and Kuea Kirin Keerati are in a quandary. Because of a promise made to their parents and grandparents, they find themselves heading toward an arranged marriage. The latter is a free-spirited musician—a vocalist and drummer—while the former is an outwardly cool businessman. While Kuea is keen to explore a happy and romantic life together with Lian, the feeling isn't mutual—at least not initially. Lian is cold to Kuea and treats him dismissively. Eventually, he indicates that he has no intention of entering into an arranged marriage, and wants to break off their engagement. Kuea is reluctant but sadly agrees. However, soon after they have officially split, Lian starts to have feelings for Kuea.

A Hot Mess with Toxic Relationships
“Cutie Pie” (2022) promised intrigue with its synopsis, and my interest was piqued, especially given Zee’s acting in “Why R U?”. However, the drama turned out to be, quite frankly, a hot mess. Let’s dive into the details.
- Forced and Unnatural: The drama felt forced and unnatural. The story lacked coherence, leaving me bewildered. The overly preachy dialogue at the beginning and end didn’t help either.
- Toxic Relationships: More than a romance, “Cutie Pie” delved into toxic relationships and poor communication. Both Hias (Hia Yi and Hia Lian) exhibited controlling and possessive behavior. Their love interests, Khondiao and Kuea, were afraid of them. The level of control was disturbing.
- Kiss Scenes Galore: The drama was kiss scene-heavy, perhaps to distract from its flaws. But it didn’t work. The relationships lacked balance, and both Hias needed a reality check.
- Character Development: Sadly, there was a lack of character development. Kuea’s sudden transformation into a perfect person for Lian felt unexplained. Lian’s cold, emotionless behavior needed more depth.
- Expertise and Trust: The drama failed to establish trust. Clear sourcing and evidence of expertise were missing. It didn’t feel like content I’d recommend or find in a reputable source.
- Overall Verdict: “Cutie Pie” stumbled in execution. Toxicity overshadowed any potential romance. If you’re looking for a BL drama, proceed with caution.
In summary, “Cutie Pie” (2022) missed the mark. It’s a cautionary tale about relationships gone awry, but not one I’d bookmark or recommend.
