Bringing back this sooryu edit because this is the couple that fundamentally changed me when I first got into kdramas last year <3

So everyone pls go and give the original editor some love because she did such a fantastic job at making this out of a non-existent storyline

Apparently the plot of kp doesn't make sense... I keep seeing this comment more and more lately. Any idea why people say this?

Idk bitches be haters I guess??

Like, maybe I'm bias b/c out of all the Thai BLs (and maybe even BLs in general tho I'm not 100% on that) Kinnporsche is the best one I've watched to date. From a directorial, technical, and narrative standpoint the whole show is extremely well made and strong.

There's a couple bits of misshapen writing - I think Kim's investigation plot needed to be fleshed out more, I'm assuming they left the goal of Kim investigating his dad an open ended question b/c of a potential s2 but alas that is now a dream - but overall the story has a strong throughline for all the (main) characters. Like even Big dying makes sense as sad as it makes me, because Big loved Kinn to the point of being a martyr.

Vegas and Kinn's rivalry makes sense and is one of my favorite - but also seemingly underappreciated - parts of the show. It's born out of their fathers own rivalry. Vegas clearly believes if he "beats" Kinn his father will provide him love and approval. While we, the audience, know this to be untrue (and I'd argue so does Pete) Vegas doesn't. Or maybe he does but he hopes for it anyway which is why he returns to his fathers side after Pete escapes. Pete being his one and only solace and providing him a level of understanding no one else could, now he only has what he's always lived with, seeking approval from his father.

Kinn seems almost reluctant to be involved in the rivalry but does so because he is also at his fathers mercy but b/c Korn is a altruistic ruler everyone sees him outwardly as a loving father (including Kinn and Tankhun) if controlling. But is it so bad to be controlling and a bit manipulative if it's for the greater good of The Family? I think this is the question that leads Kim to leaving and seeking out the truth behind his fathers lies.

Like, people joke (me too, all the time) about how chaotic the show is b/c some wild shit happens in the show. Like out of context Kinn and Porsche hand jobbing each other in Vegas' club bathroom is hilarious but in context it's one of the most emotional moments of the show and solidifies their commitment to each other (which is why I'm not against sex scenes in media, sometimes when the sex is meant to MEAN something it can be a great way to convey intimacy, emotion, and char development).

I've made jokes about Ken's tilted head on the table but like, in context that scene makes sense and is important. The show is violent, this is a violent world, these characters aren't GOOD people they are in the fucking MAFIA. Killing and beheading traitors is par the course. It was also to show that Gun was loyal and yeah obviously he wasn't, Korn wasn't dumb he could see that, but he allowed the deception to further his own plans.

As I said, there's a couple writing bits that don't pan out in the show but overall the show makes coherent sense. We joke that Porsche is dumb b/c he didn't realize Kinn was gay earlier but being oblivious is a character flaw, not a writing mistake.

Porsche's char progression is very trackable, you can see it in his plot but also in his costuming. The show is pretty purposeful in terms of costuming (another reason it sticks out to me against other Thai BLs) and Porsche when he walks into the main house halls at the beginning compared to Porsche walking through the halls of the main house at the end is a very purposeful shot. Porsche is no longer as naïve, as oblivious, as carefree, he dealt with low class thugs before, but now he's high class mafia.

Idk Anon I'm a bit of a bitch who doesn't like some of the big Thai BL classics but for me KP made a ton of sense. Having levity (ie comedy) doesn't make for an incoherent show.
