#and it means Kuea is a RED RASCAL

I am back to once again stir up discussion regarding color in Cutie Pie, and I'm doubling down on what I said about Kuea last time. KUEA KEERATI IS A BI-COLORED BOY.
Without a doubt, his primary color is red, and he's even pulling Lian's blue as early as episode one - but I started counting the number of times Kuea has worn yellow in the first 7 episodes. It's at least once an episode, sometimes the bulk of the episode. The lights in his Dragon's Lair house are both red and yellow. The car that Lian gets for him to drive in episode 7 is also yellow. At first, I wondered if he might be wearing yellow as a nod to Kon-Diao and their friendship, but the bulk of the scenes he wears yellow, he is with Lian or by himself. Lian even wears a tie with yellow and blue stripes. I'm gonna watch more episodes and keep track of the yellow a bit further, but I think 7 episodes with at one yellow shirt per episode is enough for me to declare Kuea both a red rascal and a yellow-orange oddity.
Thoughts, lol?
Kitty, you know what my thoughts are because we have been through this, but now I'm thinking that I'm going to fight you in a Texas Chicken parking lot! (I kid, I kid . . . or do I?)
Tumblr media
Just because I wrote I'm finally getting on this bi-colored train due to how well I think To Be Continued is doing it does not mean I'm going to flip on Kuea too. Cutie Pie JUST got out of Petty Prison. And do you know why it was in Petty Prison? Because Kuea IS F*CKING RIDICULOUS!
Tumblr media
He was lying and sneaking around when there was no need. He was coming up with these elaborate plans to hide shit when HE COULD'VE JUST COMMUNICATED! Which is funny because Yellow/Orange Oddities communicate. Sometimes too much. Like "telling people they need to poop" level of communication.
Tumblr media
But you know who lies, sneaks, schemes, and stays on their bullshit? Red Rascals!
Tumblr media
Which is probably why Kuea and Yi don't like each other.
Tumblr media
THEY ARE THE SAME BRAND OF STUPID!
Tumblr media
So instead of these two being honest with their partners, they hide their true colors because THEY ARE STUPID!
Tumblr media
So this pendejo decides that Lian won't love him if he knows he wants to be a Korean Idol or whatever.
Tumblr media
And he thinks Lian won't love him if he knew what Kuea's real major is.
Tumblr media
And he thinks Lian definitely won't love him if he is speed racing Love-in-the-Air style.
Tumblr media
But instead of this dum-dum actually giving up those things, or, I don't know, confessing to them, he decides to LIE, LIKE A LIAR!
Tumblr media
So while Lian is trying to figure out exactly what version of Kuea he is about to marry, Kuea is hiding his real self which, ironically, reinforces his true colors since his scheming makes him even more of a Red Rascal. His color is literally always staring us in the face!
Tumblr media
It's the red flag (or folder) that constantly comes between them.
Tumblr media
Oh look! It's the other red flag between them!
Tumblr media
And what's funny about this is Kuea gets mad at Lian for being cold to him when he is ACTIVELY LYING, so he runs off to his SECRET house where he has neon signs of his SECRET persona!
Tumblr media
So the pot keeps talking shit about the kettle!
Tumblr media
And the kettle has to figure out how to deal with a lying pot.
Tumblr media
Which is to go along with his bullshit since Lian loves the idiot!
Tumblr media
THEN CATCH HIM IN THE ACT!
Tumblr media
Because Lian has always known who Kuea is.
Tumblr media
He has known Kuea since that liar was a damn baby. Day one. Fresh from the womb!
Tumblr media
The childhood merch wasn't for nothing!
Tumblr media
So he knows the yellow isn't Kuea's. Because it's LIAN'S FAMILY'S!
Tumblr media
You remember that great party that was happening for Lian's dad? The one where Kuea rejected Lian's proposal in front of God and all his guests?!
Tumblr media
Look at that! The merging of two families!
Tumblr media
But wait?! Why does Kuea wear so much yellow?
Tumblr media
BECAUSE HE THINKS IT PLEASES HIS BLUE BOY AND HIS FAMILY!
Tumblr media
This Slut for Christ could've been married to Lian YEARS AGO, but mentiroso had to keep lying and didn't realize that Lian loved HIM. Lian was doing everything for HIM! The story was about families, traditions, and old money versus new money, but when it boiled down to it, it was about loving Kuea for who he is, not because Lian was told to but because he genuinely loved that Red Rascal's lying ass.
Tumblr media
So thank goodness Lian knows another ridiculous Red Rascal who he loves dearly, but also has learned how to fight a Red Rascal and their stupidity from.
Tumblr media
So these two could FINALLY get together at the end wearing their true colors because it mattered who they were and not who their families were or wanted them to be. And that's also why there is still a little yellow in Lian's tie.
Tumblr media
/\ <- This is a hill.
And I'm dying on it.

Because Domundi (DMD) always understands the assignment when it comes to colors, I will be tracking them in Naughty Babe each episode to see how the color story unfolds.
First, we got the backstory on why our Yellow/Orange Oddity Diao went from this
Tumblr media
to this
Tumblr media
And it's because his Red Rascal fiancé flipped the script and started to create distance between the two. When they first got in engaged, they were close.
Tumblr media
but already Yi started wearing a muted blue color.
Tumblr media
Which morphed into a bolder blue.
Tumblr media
Until it started to surround Yi.
Tumblr media
Which caused the distance to grow between them.
Tumblr media
Because of this, Diao continued to lose his color on him even though sprinkles of it remained around him.
Tumblr media
Because there is some red still lingering around Yi too.
Tumblr media
And we see those reminders throughout the episode.
Tumblr media
But Yi keeps trying to hide it for some reason while also avoiding the marriage questions.
Tumblr media
Which is the reason Diao's last straw was also a reminder of what he wants - Yi's real color.
Tumblr media
Because Diao has changed himself to fit into Yi's life, but blue isn't working for either of them.
Tumblr media
So let's hope that blue phone gets broken (because it doesn't fit and it only brings sadness!)
Tumblr media
Since Yi wakes up in the blue, but we know he is going to end up lying about his amnesia the same way he has been lying about his color.
Tumblr media
And the red car is the key to solving why Yi has been hiding his true color.
Tumblr media
Diao, who can't drive, received the red car as a gift for uniting his heart with Yi's, but the brakes didn't work, so did someone want Diao dead and not Yi.
Tumblr media
So I'm invested in why this Red Rascal almost died in the red car, but woke up in the blue when he's been lying about the blue the entire time, and could it have to do with someone possibly wanting to kill Diao.
Tumblr media
And we'll need the Red Rascal x Blue Boy husbands help to solve this conundrum.
Tumblr media
We get it Kuea. You love your Blue Boy.
Tumblr media
And your best friend.
Tumblr media
God, I love when Red Rascals fight.

Cutie (Colored) Pie
The Colors Award for Most Consistent Color Coding across Seasons of a Series goes to Cutie Pie's Lian and Kuea. They are color-coded boys in love, and their tale is the epitome of Champagne Problems as one Rich Boy tries to love another Rich Boy.
Tumblr media
Lian is a Blue Boy who is loyal, stable, and new money.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kuea is a Red Rascal who is passionate, spontaneous, and old money.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kuea's best friend is Diao who is a Yellow/Orange Oddity.
Tumblr media
Diao is in love with his Red Rascal guardian, Yi, who also happens to be Lian's best friend and business partner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Indulgent Daddy Yi (who is the love of my life) is a Red Rascal trying to change to a Blue Boy, so he won't allow himself to openly admit he has feelings for Diao since he feels responsible for Diao.
Tumblr media
Because he is a Red Rascal, but best friends with a Blue Boy, he usually gets put in the middle of Lian and Kuea's disagreements since he understands Kuea's hangups but knows Lian's true feelings.
Tumblr media
The couple's issues stem from Kuea not being his true Relaxed Red Rascal self who wears jeans and T-shirts because he fears his Business Blue Boy, who wears suits all day every day, won't love him, so he pretends to be a Business Blue Boy too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kuea has tried to covered up his red since they were kids because their families arranged their marriage at birth and their families expect them to be compatible.
Tumblr media
But Lian knows about Kuea's true colors since he grew up with Kuea.
Tumblr media
Lian just wants Kuea to be honest with him and shows his love for Kuea by wearing his color.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because he knows he is dealing with a real Red Rascal who sneaks out and keeps secrets.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So he encourages Kuea to embrace his color around him by hinting he knows Kuea's secrets, like by buying him a red drum set so Kuea can continue his musical ambitions in his new home.
Tumblr media
But they are still at odds because neither truly feels good enough for the other.
Tumblr media
Even though they love each other, which the color exchange proves, Kuea questions why Lian wants to be with him, and Lian can't understand why Kuea hides his true self from Lian, mostly because he feels like he, a man of new money, needs to live up to the family name and history he will inherit when he marries Kuea.
Tumblr media
Kuea can't cook nor can he clean, yet Lian still wants to give him a ring, so Kuea thinks Lian is doing all of this due to obligation and pity when he finds out that his family is going broke, and Lian is basically getting them out of debt.
Tumblr media
Kuea has to decide if he wants to put all their secrets out in the open and let the world know his real color, or if he wants to remain hiding himself and all the reasons he believes Lian and him won't work out.
Tumblr media
He decides to be honest in his red bow tie, and in the process, he rejects Lian's proposal AT HIS DAD'S BIRTHDAY while he finally expresses all of his fears. Indulgent Daddy Yi steps in again with his boyfriend to help these two sort their differences out.
Tumblr media
They reconcile after realizing that the love they have for each other isn't based on lies or coming from a sense of duty and decide to wait until Kuea finishes school before they get married.
Tumblr media
Their friends and all the club serve as witnesses to their love, including the dark versus light color-coded Brooding Boy and Heavenly Human Nuer and Syn. Yes. We had THREE color-coded pairs!
Tumblr media
Because Kuea is finally comfortable in their relationship, he carries Lian's love and color into his internship after only wearing red at school.
Tumblr media
Kuea graduates with Lian by his side.
Tumblr media
And they begin to plan their wedding.
Tumblr media
They finally get married by Perth Gemini Jay after the perfect wedding that Poppy Foei planned gets ruined. Yes, Perth and Poppy were in this show.
Tumblr media
And Kuea becomes an idol in Korea. Don't ask.
Bless this color-coded love mess fest.
I look forward to seeing if Indulgent Daddy Yi can change his color in Naughty Babe or if he will learn a similar lesson as Kuea and let his true color shine.

In case you missed it - Stable and loyal Lian is a blue boy, and passionate and spontaneous Kuea is a red rascal:

But Lian is always willing to step into the red when it comes to proving his love for Kuea
