Hmmm I really can't decide
The one thing I got from this series is that it is near impossible to follow everything thrown at you without having to watch it again or, having to rewind and play scenes over again until you fill in the blanks and catch up. At times (an iQIYI issue) the subtitles were so fast you would need a photographic memory or, start a Duolingo course to learn the language. Also, when the writers/director realize that they only have two episodes left - they cram so much information in that it could be three days later before your brain finally puts it in the right order and you say "Ahhhh. That's why the father was such a..."Yi's transformation from a**hole to nice person was never believable. It was never truly explained why he treated Diao so badly. Agree - Nat is not the best actor and agree - how can a medalist in martial arts be such a wimp and unable to fight?
Another reviewer posted other titles from this company and their seems to be a running theme...take a book and hurriedly and sometimes badly, convert into a series. Though, I must say that they are usually, good enough to plow through to see the ending. Not thrilled but, you know what I mean.
Side characters were entertaining. If you think of this as a Cinderella story - it makes a bit more sense and having the "extra" stuff thrown in is all there to help move the story along.
Hard to recommend. It is like both versions of Why R U. Thai one made all women to be vile and opportunistic. The Korean one cleaned that part up and improved it - a little. Do we wait for the Korean Naughty Babe and hope for more? Enquiring minds want to know...

cringe in maniera bella come cutie pie
Continuo della seconda coppia di cutie pie, sicuramente una coppia magnifica, sincera e molto amorevole.All'interno della serie ho trovato solo una cosa che non mi ha convinta tanto, che è una parte dove non ho capito il motivo di un'azione di un personaggio, potrebbe essere anche solo distrazione mia anche se non penso.
In sé il BL è molto carini, vengono anche ritrovati Zee e Nunew nella maggior parte degli episodi e ci sono anche dei piccoli focus su di loro dopo il matrimonio avvenuto su cutie pie.
Mi dispiace non aver visto quasi per niente Yim e Tutor in questa serie.
P.s. Non so perché ma a Tutor hanno cambiato il nome del suo personaggio da "Nuer" a "Nuea" il che è abbastanza confusionario visto che "Kuea" suona fin troppo simile (e sinceramente preferivo a prescindere Nuer come nome)

Entertained at first but in overall disappointed by the scenario and pace of the story
This series is a sequel to Cutie Pie, focusing on the couple Yi x Khondiao, several years after the end of Cutie Pie 2. I enjoyed the first half of the drama: it had an outlandish and very soap premise as well as a lot of funny forced cohabitation scenes...Unfortunately, my interest strongly decreased in the second half as the pace of the story was getting worse and the plot become more and more ridiculous. I think it would have been better if the story had been told in a much more concise way and with less episodes.The acting skills were kind of a mixed bag... I was happy to find back some of the actors and characters from the old series (mainly Nunew playing Kuea and Zee as Lian) and I really enjoyed the actor playing Yi's father, who was for me the MVP of the show. I also found the chemistry between the main leads Max and Nat very good and their hot scenes quite believable. Unfortunately they were less convincing to me in the more dramatic moments. I also found the main "villains" of the drama too caricatural and mediocre.
The production value was quite good with some questionable and over-the-top filmmaking choices. Some scenes are clearly filmed and edited to increase the dramatic / soap effect which make it quite entertaining and even goofy (which might not be the exact intended purpose). The moments with the dog were pretty cute and fun, while the CGI tiger made me cringe. The soundtrack did not leave a memorable impression on me and pale in comparison to Cutie Pie/Cutie Pie 2 ones.
I would not recommend this to people. It is a very over-the-top BL story with a cute dog, a questionable CGI tiger and wonky scenario: it is entertaining at times and quite ridiculous at some other times. If you are a fan of Cutie Pie / Cutie Pie 2 and/or of Domundi actors, you might still want to give it a shot for some of the couple pairings.

Amazing story and series
This series was amazing, I love the actors and storyline. Amazing chemistry with all the staff. It has everything you wanting a BL series to have. This series has it all love, hate, jealousy, revenge, friendship and family. This was one of the best series in a long time. Totally deserve 10 stars. I laughed and cried. I have missed series like this that can catcher your heart. I only wish it was longer and not the end of the series, makes you only want more. All three series had done an amazing job telling everyone's story showing amazing growth and development. A true beauty of actors and storyline mashed up greatly. ❤️Was this review helpful to you?

ACTUALLY A GOOD SHOW, GREAT IF THERE'S A LITTLE MORE PUSH
STORY ;To be Honest there are parts that I did not understand on the story, some of it have no sense at all, but it was on point and I can really walk through with what the show is trying to imply. Diao being used by his own father to gain something from Yi's Family by letting him marry Yi and the couple over coming it, it was a nice plot actually, but with some unknown reason I am not convinced enough with how the show elaborated it, something is lacking that I did not know what it was, or maybe it was the bad writings or lines ? whatever. If we want to just see boys having romance and comedy with each other this is for you guys, thankfully it was entertaining enough to let me push through the end and over all it was a good watch.
VISUAL :
The Visuals are insane ! this show has one of the nicest visuals I've ever seen, like the camera pointing, the angle, it was really great two thumbs up!
ACTING/ACTORS ;
I love MaxNat since Why R U ! and from there I've seen how developed they've become with each other as a BL couple, When I watched Cutie Pie there was still an awkwardness there on their kissing scene and now here in Naughty Babe, the kiss was OMG, I can't contain it like it looks so real and it feels like the two of them are too comfortable with ear other, the kissing scene was too steamy for mo , well not all but some of it were too much that I have to skip it but it was nice and a good improvement for both of them. All of them acted nicely here I have nothing to say it was good and entertaining and Nat was such a baby very good pairing really for me
OVER ALL
Recently I was actually looking for BL that has enough romance and the kissing scene that is not awkward for the actors and has a great storyline and When I watched this show, They have given me MORE that what I am looking for, and I am entertained, MaxNat really knew how to play this genre and they knew what me as an audience wants with their romance it was cute and funny and romantic and heartfelt specially when Yi finally knew what was on Diao's mind all of this time and when Yi learned how to express his love to Diao, it was everything ! . but again could've been great with a little more push . so yeah this show is for those who are not too serious and too critics on story line and just wanna see a romance , you should definitely watch it, and for me it was not a waste of time choosing this drama !

Giving a 4 bc of the ending
um??? idk the story is weird, I didn't like it. the acting is not great either and to be honest, there were parts I found cringe 😭there were time where I just wanted to drop the bl cause the story was boring.
now, what i kind of liked is the random comedy moments between drama. those moments saved the bl for me.
CHEMISTRY IS GREAT!!! one of my favorite things definitely.
last cap. was so cute that yep! it made +1 star for my review lmao
Production is good, just wish they'd spend some of the budget with the story :/

Nong was the star of the show.
I am so happy Max and Nat got their own series, these two have amazing chemistry and I loved watching the relationship between Kon Diao and Yi in Cutie Pie so I'm happy they got their own series.Like it predecessor Cutie Pie, Naughty Babe is keeping with the humor and comedic moments which I very much enjoy. You get to learn more about Kon Diao and Yi's past and the reason behind some of Yi's choices and actions in Cutie Pie.
I found it hilarious the archenemies Yi got as the episodes went on. In Yi's mind, that dog really was out to get him 😂.
I enjoyed the family dynamic in Naughty Babe and I especially adore Makorn and his obvious love and favoritism towards Kon Diao. I love how the show made it perfectly clear, as did Makorn a few times throughout the show, that he was Team Kon Diao and Yi better wisen up or else. Diao really developed from the character you're first introduced to in Cutie Pie, now he doesn't take any of Yi's crap and is even seen getting revenge against him. It was very amusing to watch Kon Diao's revenges.
I absolutely hate Kon Diao's family. How someone as sweet, caring and kinda naïve as Diao can come from a crook/conman like Sattha is just amazing to me.
The whole amnesia storyline was both good and bad. It helped the plot progress but it also got a little old as well. I didn't particularly like Yi lying to Diao about his amnesia but I understood the reasons for it. The romantic moments between Kon Diao and Yi are stunning to watch. Max and Nat did an incredible job showing the love these two characters feel for each other. Amazing acting from them both.
Yi accepting that his dad loves and adores Kon Diao as the son he never had is just hilarious to me.
The chase scene and that whole plan, while I understood why it was happening was odd and the whole re-proposal thing was just confusing and while it was sweet was kinda a little pointless. Maybe I just missed the mark on what it was about/meant.
And Nong strikes again turning father against his son and I don’t mean Kon Diao!! I died laughing at that whole exchange between Makorn and Diao. Nong really is Yi’s archnemisis. I love the teasing relationship they all have in this scene.
I still hate Kon Diao’s dad but I did really like how he had his chance to make amends with Dio and realize what he was actually doing to his son and hopefully change for the better. I thought the moment between them during the wedding was sweet.
Overall the acting was amazing Nat and Max really shined in this series. The plot was okay, a little boring in places but overall very enjoyable, the music was sweet and fit the scenes.

really enjoyed
this was a good story after finishing this drama I was thinking what one did I like better cutie pie or naughty babe. but naughty babe did it for me, I enjoyed the chemistry between the 2 main leads. even though their was only 8 eps, each episode showed the storyline and had emotional sides, funny sides and the loving sides of each main lead and to get their background story it all fit perfectly within these 8 episodes. the directors topped it off nicely with the wedding and showing u them years down the line where they have children and have became a proper wee family.but I did like hia yi with the dog they just has a love & hate relationship.

goofy series to kill some time
Watched Cutie Pie first and it really got me intrigued by Diao and Yi's relationship so I decided to give it a try and hear me out: it's not as bad as you may or may not think. Alright? Gotta give it a try.However..
The plot? I loved it at first with this whole "lost memory" play it reminded me of old times when most of series/movies had this as part of the storyline and Max's acting really did justice to it. But as soon as the 5th episode hit and everything shifted from losing memory and wanting to "fix the relationship" to Diao's family issues and him planning to cut off his own family by ruining HIS OWN wedding I just simply got lost. It's like two series in one and none of them are from the same scriptwriter, you know?
But I can't lie I still enjoyed watching it.
The chemistry between Nat and Max on screen is something so pleasant to watch it can wash away all the "bad" things.
Even despite the fact that Nat (in my opinion) isn't too good at acting and still needs to work on that - whenever he's with Max it's like a whole new atmosphere. Love to see it.
Well.. Max in my not so humble opinion carried the whole series on his shoulders and I know I may be biased since I like him as an actor ever since he starred in the previous series but he just made it so much easier to watch Naughty Babe.
I just kind of wish they'd made it more on the "comedic" side of series other than the "serious" one cause it would definitely fit this one better. There are some intentionally "funny" scenes but actually most of the REALLY goofy ones are the ones that were meant to be deep and meaningful.
So.. if you're planning on watching it:
just make sure you enjoy what's on the screen without looking for any deeper meaning to it cause you might find out that there's no meaning to it lol
Also- just gotta mention that the chihuahua deserves its own fandom. They literally made this dog the third main lead 😭

blah
OMG was this bad!! I was only able to watch four eps before I dropped it.The lead actors both are eye rolling. The plot the writers of this came up with was pretty ridiculous.
Nat's character in my view was made to still look like he hadn't grown up at all since Cutie Pie.
It bothered me the still the way Max's character treated the boyfriend character like he was a child.
Even in Cutie Pie it but it was worse there. This might have been good if the story was better but I tried to watch it to the end but four and maybe about 5 minutes into the the fifth ep is all I could do.

A show that showcased their growth in acting
*happy ending*We have been thirsty in having MaxNat in their own series and this show delivered it quite well.
Nat, especially, showed the utmost growth in acting that most of the times in the series, I cried with him. There are also times that his acting is so great that Max's acting look subpar. There was even a time that I shouted that Max should step up his game.
Nat has delivered his character well. I really felt Diao's intelligence in Nat's eyes. He is so expressive that you can see it it the screen when Diao realizes something in the conflict.
I really love Diao's power bottom personality. He is really steadfast about his ideals and what he wants and he doesn't waver in fighting for it. He is very upfront in showing love as well that it shocks Yi a lot of times.
The NC scene, especially the uncut is chef's kiss. There is still that odd feeling I always feel when watching MaxNat's NC scenes because of how really young Nat looks. But they did the mature scenes really well and realistically too.
The story, for me, is a 100 times better than cutie pie. It makes a lot more sense too. Cutie pie's conflict is not too big compared to this one. The flow and pacing is also quite well. And I understood the reasons for everything except why Diao still does not want to ride a car except if he is with Yi. When reading the comments in youtube, I can see that they did the novel portrayal very well. Though if you compared it to their cutie pie story, there will be a lot of discrepancies like lele and the timeline. But a lot said that they understand YiDiao's story more in cutie pie because of this series.
I loved watching this whole series. It is very funny, romantic, and well executed. Cant wait for MaxNat's next series.
