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?)
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!
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.
But you know who lies, sneaks, schemes, and stays on their bullshit? Red Rascals!
Which is probably why Kuea and Yi don't like each other.
THEY ARE THE SAME BRAND OF STUPID!
So instead of these two being honest with their partners, they hide their true colors because THEY ARE STUPID!
So this pendejo decides that Lian won't love him if he knows he wants to be a Korean Idol or whatever.
And he thinks Lian won't love him if he knew what Kuea's real major is.
And he thinks Lian definitely won't love him if he is speed racing Love-in-the-Air style.
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!
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!
It's the red flag (or folder) that constantly comes between them.
Oh look! It's the other red flag between them!
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!
So the pot keeps talking shit about the kettle!
And the kettle has to figure out how to deal with a lying pot.
Which is to go along with his bullshit since Lian loves the idiot!
THEN CATCH HIM IN THE ACT!
Because Lian has always known who Kuea is.
He has known Kuea since that liar was a damn baby. Day one. Fresh from the womb!
The childhood merch wasn't for nothing!
So he knows the yellow isn't Kuea's. Because it's LIAN'S FAMILY'S!
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?!
Look at that! The merging of two families!
But wait?! Why does Kuea wear so much yellow?
BECAUSE HE THINKS IT PLEASES HIS BLUE BOY AND HIS FAMILY!
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.
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.
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.
/\ <- 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
to this
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.
but already Yi started wearing a muted blue color.
Which morphed into a bolder blue.
Until it started to surround Yi.
Which caused the distance to grow between them.
Because of this, Diao continued to lose his color on him even though sprinkles of it remained around him.
Because there is some red still lingering around Yi too.
And we see those reminders throughout the episode.
But Yi keeps trying to hide it for some reason while also avoiding the marriage questions.
Which is the reason Diao's last straw was also a reminder of what he wants - Yi's real color.
Because Diao has changed himself to fit into Yi's life, but blue isn't working for either of them.
So let's hope that blue phone gets broken (because it doesn't fit and it only brings sadness!)
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.
And the red car is the key to solving why Yi has been hiding his true color.
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.
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.
And we'll need the Red Rascal x Blue Boy husbands help to solve this conundrum.
We get it Kuea. You love your Blue Boy.
And your best friend.
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.
Lian is a Blue Boy who is loyal, stable, and new money.
Kuea is a Red Rascal who is passionate, spontaneous, and old money.
Kuea's best friend is Diao who is a Yellow/Orange Oddity.
Diao is in love with his Red Rascal guardian, Yi, who also happens to be Lian's best friend and business partner.
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.
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.
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.
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.
But Lian knows about Kuea's true colors since he grew up with Kuea.
Lian just wants Kuea to be honest with him and shows his love for Kuea by wearing his color.
Because he knows he is dealing with a real Red Rascal who sneaks out and keeps secrets.
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.
But they are still at odds because neither truly feels good enough for the other.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Because Kuea is finally comfortable in their relationship, he carries Lian's love and color into his internship after only wearing red at school.
Kuea graduates with Lian by his side.
And they begin to plan their wedding.
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.
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.
