I just realized that the porsche in the book was probably like kinn’s type? Cos they initially imagined a korean actor to play it right.. so apo being called to cast is really sus lol

I have never read KPTN and according to people who have, it's better for my brain that I haven't 😂

According to Reliable Sources, apparently Porsche wasn't Kinn's Type™ because Kinn's type is pretty and novel!Porsche wasn't pretty. But Apo is very pretty so obviously that wouldn't work 😁

Okay since I have a minute now:

KinnPorsche Casting: The Lore

First posting (one version) of the casting story for everyone to set the stage. Thanks to @lorddio for helping me find this one again and MileApo Safe Place for translating as always. it's got a very special part that needs highlight 😉

But setting the record straight(ha!) about the basics:

Mile was Kinn's face model, and purportedly many elements of Kinn were based off of Mile's public image (very importantly: wealthy heir to an important Thai family)

In the variations of posts about Mile is Kinn lore I've seen, this was the specific photo that inspired Daemi's Kinn. He reposted it around the same time his casting for KPTS was announced (this was reposted Dec 2020) but if I remember correctly from scrolling back in his feed, it was taken when he was 24-25 years old.

A post shared by MP 15.15 (@milephakphum)

As anon mentioned, and Apo mentioned in the clip above, Daemi chose a Korean actor as the face cast for Porsche.

However, he was contacted and specifically invited to audition for the role of Porsche. According to Apo, he didn't even read for any other characters

Those are the basic public facts we can agree on. But of course there's more going on behind the scenes! There's actually a lot going on here so I'm going to break it down for each actor, starting with Mile because that might set the ground for some of what happened with Apo.

Admittedly some of this is my opinion or interpretation, so take it with a grain of salt and use your own judgment! Again, the above facts are what is probably known and agreed upon.

Casting dates (a clarification)

First of all, there's a couple of confusing things going on with the dates, which I actually didn't highlight in the last post about it, but was exposed by the Facebook posts.

The first Facebook post dated October 1, 2020 talks about how the audition process has started and the first round will go on to October 3. The second post is from October 4 and then lists the dates of the auditions for October 10.

Now, October 10, the "official" audition date is (1) The day Mile and Apo were both fast tracked through auditions and (2) met again. I don't think anyone on the English side of fandom has noticed this or at least publicly talked about this discrepancy so I'm bringing you hot news (that I've been sitting on and not sharing lol)

It is worth pointing out that this is supposedly the photo below is of their first kiss from the auditions, and they're both wearing different clothes, so. I'm guessing the fast tracking was actually for the first round of auditions between Oct 1-3, and then the kiss was Oct 10.

Anyway, they sat next to each other and Apo talked to Mile first, regardless of if it was the same day (likely not, in my opinion)

There's also a couple of different photos of them together at audition.

Notably, in the first they're sat in uh, waiting area chairs. There's a different clip of Apo sitting behind Bible, so I'm guessing this is before Apo talked to Mile and he had noticed Mile while sitting in this area and went to talk to him.

The moved together down the line to the audition room, I think?

where Sprite interviewed them:

Also based on this last photo they switched sitting order at some point while waiting to audition

Mile's casting

So aside from the fact Mile visibly went to auditions, there is a rumor with some basis that Mile was pre-cast as Kinn. Probably soft confirmed by Mile himself.

I'm just going to close the loop on this discrepancy too: I think Mile was an invited audition/casting in the same way Ke Huy Quan was invited to audition for for Waymond Wang. Mile did audition. He was likely get the role because he was so preferentially invited by the authors and was the basis for the character.

Clearly, Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar and Mile won a GQ breakout actor award, so in invited casting, even for seemingly "unimportant" roles, it doesn't speak to an actor deserving or not deserving the role based on of acting skills. Mile also was cast as the main character Bohn in My Engineer in 2017 before turning it down; he clearly has some acting chops and can win lead roles.

In academia, often times internal postings will open for tenure track positions with a preferred candidate in mind; but due to rules these postings are made public and sometimes an outside candidate will blow the preferred candidate out of the water in terms of quality and get hired instead.

Which is to say there could have been another actor that ended up impressing more in auditions as Kinn even with Mile being preferred, or another actor pair that seemed more suited for Kinn and Porsche.

The other thing auditions do is allow for actors to screen test chemistry. So finally, Mile actually going through the casting process allows him to screen test a for a pairing partner. Which brings us to...

Pre-cast Preferred casting rumor credibility: 10/10

Apo's Casting

Play Mastermind.mp3 by Taylor Swift

Once Twice upon a time, the planets and the fates And all the stars aligned You and I ended up in the same room At the same time

Okay if you didn't catch it on the first watch...

Mile, what the heck is that expression. 😂😂😂

Again, Apo was invited to go to casting specifically for Porsche and only for Porsche. Apo has never acted in a BL before going to audition for KPTS, so the question begged who invited him and why?

First of all, Mile has made it clear that he was a fan of Apo's acting work and followed his career after they met in the gym. He's also made it clear he had the world's biggest crush on Apo. Look how excited he was to talk about working with Apo and how handsome he thinks Apo is in January 2021 (like 3 months after they met again!)

If Mile was the preferential Kinn cast and he didn't have an pairing partner, it would make sense to ask him if there were any actors he thought he might work well with.

I'm not entirely convinced Mile engineered for Apo to get cast or anything. Apo's acting career and skills stand on their own and I think their insane screen chemistry speaks volumes about why they were cast. But as for who made the request to Apo's manager ... hm 😏 Maybe we'll find out one day.

Hey if there's any KinnPorsche fans out there that have old videos of things like their arms / gun training (I know it exists!) I would be forever grateful if you'd share with me. Especially from the Filmania BTS stuff.

Lots of that stuff is off YouTube now but they're still being used in supercuts, etc. I would love anything you have links to or have stored somewhere.

If you could reblog this even if you're not in the fandom, that would be awesome!

In light of the return to circulation of KinnPorsche lore, let me share this 😂

(for the record, Mile did community theatre and had small acting gigs in commercials / as the love interest in music videos but nothing like KinnPorsche)

This is the face of man unrepentant about how hornily he kissed Apo 😭 and why would he be repentant IT WORKED DINIT

If you think it's just the angle, please note: Apo has cuddled Mile like that before.

they really were just cuddling in front of everywhere while telling them how bad their acting was 🤣🤣🤣

Mile and Apo when judging the acting skills of the THC boys:

Apo even leaned on Mile’s shoulder (??)

And Mile definitely complimented him in front of everyone :)

Do you look at Filmania Kimhant and get this overwhelming gratitude that he wasnt the version we got???

Filmania Kimhant is the fuck boy nepo baby that isnt afraid to flaunt his superiority over other people.

Im sure that Fimania Kimhant is gonna break Chay's heart and laugh about it. Then Chay would have to go through the cliche plot where he turns hot, make Filmania Kimhant fall in love with him just to crush his heart in revenge but of course, Fimania Kimhant is batshit crazy so now he has to have Chay.

i may have put too much thought about Filmania Kimhant 😳

Lol why does Apo look shy and awkward in the Spur video when Mile has his arm around his shoulder like Sir did you forget you guys are literally clingy for no reason 24/7

THE EMBARRASSING CRINGE SMILE I HAD ON MY FACE LOOKING AT THEM AND APO BEING SHY FROM THE VIDEO

SIR WHAT R U BEING SO SHY 4?! THAS UR HUSBUN!!! apo's twitchy lil anxious flustered leg... >< so cute

you know what it is? it has to be the intensity of Mile's flirty grin. I get shy looking at Apo being shy because Mile really is being so handsome and charming isn't he? ;_;

Actually, you know what this REALLY reminds me of?

This Filmania shoot where Apo couldn't even look Mile in the eye despite grinning like a loon... the more things change, the more they stay the same apparently 🙈🙈🙈

[ohyesididnotjustdothat]
