With rare exceptions I don't watch dramas until every episode has dropped and at least on Viki and IQIYI there are a few more episodes to go.

As soon as they decide to become an official couple there are plenty of kissing scenes and they even start living together before they get married for logistical reasons.

I just finished this and liked almost everything. The sweaters alone should get their own credit in this series, they were gorgeous. Costumes too except for that unfortunate black jacket with the zippers on Yu Sen in the last episode. The music was beautiful.

ML and FL had great chemistry and also the script shows what a mature happy love looks like when both people are committed to it. The second ML seem to be just there to show what toxicity in relationships looks like. I didn't even feel the tiniest bit sorry for him. He deserved his ending.

Rather than just showing the main couple falling in love and skipping off into the sunset they showed two motivated people who share a life and a love but also have meaningful careers.

They share responsibilities and outlook in life, and FL supports the ML in following his passion even though it meant that they would no longer be working together.

I also liked the fact that there was no miracle allowing the ML to go back to his neurosurgery career but rather he found a new and prominent place in the medical field. Romantic dramas tend to come up with miraculous cures rather than real life solutions to problems. Here the ML found a way to contribute in a meaningful way even if he could never pick up a scalpel again.

The only real criticism I have is too much time was spent on technological development in alternative energy. I understood some of it and fell asleep in some of it. They could have cut 90% of that out and had a better series at 30 episodes.

I loved it from start to finish. I've already watched it twice and I'm sure I'll watch it again. I still have regular viewings of Cutie Pie all these years later

I'm on episode 5. Never heard of loan sharks that take credit cards! 😮

Jimmy and Ohm we're always going to play Ramil and Paytai. Calvin and Jay were a very small role, so obviously Thomas and Kong wouldn't give up a starring role in a BL for that. And I'm sure that DMD wouldn't have let them do it anyway because Your Sky had approximately half the budget of TNP. It wasn't cheap to produce. And FWIW Khemjira cost as much to produce as TNP. DMD spent big bucks in 2025 and I'm sure will continue to do so in 2026.

They were the first choice. Net and JJ took over for Thomas and Kong (as Calvin and Jay) because TNP was so delayed that it was interfering with the production schedule for Your Sky where they were the main leads.

Give it a rest. And FWIW I didn't write what I did to promote TNP. I just happened to really like it. Now shoo.

No. I'm from the US and have no idea how Thai people live in the countryside. It just looked very depressing.

My only reference point is rich people in Bangkok living in the city center.

Why is there so much discussion about some other drama on the page for ABO Desire? Why not start your own page for whatever Heated Rivalry is. No one is going to look for discussion about it here. It just annoys people.

They did it at the end of the Thai BL Cutie Pie too. I don't watch enough J-dramas to know who is famous or popular, so thanks for the info.

I'm not upset. I just think it's odd. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's a huge stretch. And in the first place there was only one new patient. The other person was another counselor who is going to be helping Irene with the group.

Pretty sure the only person who thinks this is a potential BL teaser is you.

I didn't take it as a BL teaser, not even sure where you got that idea. It was wrapping up the second half of Irene's story. First half was at the wedding when she was ready to start a real relationship with Hiro, and the second half where she started her group practice up again.

I'm not even sure where you got the idea that this was the start of the same sex relationship for a future series.

I don't hate him he's just disappeared into the ether since he discontinued his fixed paired with Net. I have no concern either way. I saw Bed Friend, thought it was cute. Then never heard from this dude again.

There are over 30 members of Domundi, and I only know who a few of them are.

Well that's why I said even though no one is holding a gun to their heads they know if they want to get ahead that the best way to do it is as a paired couple.

They can choose to do differently but it's going to have an effect on their career.

Look what happened to James after he left Net. We've barely seen a peep out of him since. No one cares about his art or his singing career.

No one at Domundi is holding a gun to anyone's head, but the ones who get the most projects and are the most famous are those who are in a paired couple.

The closest to a non-paired Domundi star is Poppy, and he does all the Emcee stuff and is brilliant at comedic relief in series.

Ever since his brother Park bowed out of his partnership with NuNew have we ever even seen him?

Only straight role I ever saw Zee in was Spice and Spell where he had exactly zero chemistry with the female lead. That was after being paired with NuNew right at the end of filming for Cutie Pie.

He did better in the music video for Breaking Heart Station. At least he appeared to be enjoying his role with the FL there.

I'd say 50/50. I really enjoyed the cooking aspects reminded me of the HBO series Julia, which was about Julia child. If all you're going to do is make a series about the romance it's going to be over in two episodes.
