As great as the kisses were, the acting and the storyline are baddddd.

The acting is borderline cringe. Not a single strong actor IMO (from any of the actors playing romantic pairings. Some actors, like Perth and a few others, were fine in their roles). I felt a lot of 2nd hand embarrassment watching the main and secondary actors flirting. After just coming off the Not Me series and being caught up with KinnPorsche, where incredible, structured storylines and strong acting are seen in spades, the disconnect with Cutie Pie is much more glaring.
The BL game is stepping up to astronomical heights, and this just ain't it. The acting reminded me of how cringy TharnType was. Mew and Gulf were beyond cringe in their facial expressions and intonations toward each other; I don't know how anyone could muster through it, let alone their overly problematic sex scenes. Consent, anyone?

The audience is smart - While it may be fun to watch, gratuitous sex scenes/skinship isn't enough to save a series from terrible writing and poor, over-the-top acting. Pass on this series and go turn on KinnPorsche, Not Me, or Bad Buddy instead.
