They did find SOME onscreen couple for this (Everyone and everything else was a disaster)
Well, if not for the RAVING reviews, this series would not to live to show me its 10th minute, lol. If I'm NOT interested in something, then it's watching "credible" looking mafia guys trying to be all hotshot, and speaking bad english. The two main actors, one looks a bit mature already (he's 30), is attractive except of his voice (and his bio says he's a singer lol), the other is not my type (though he is the likeable fun type). But, people wrote like: "Kinn x Porsche ended. I don't know what I'll do with my life, now." LOL. So, I did NOT drop this, though I can confirm that after episode 7 it went massively downhill... And I DID find KinnPorsche couple outstanding. I can't say the same about the other couples, though. The only thing I enjoyed about those was skipping their scenes. (Yeah, Vegas & Pete, too!) This show is called 'KinnPorsche' for a reason. Everyone and everything else was a disaster. My detailed experience follows...
1st episode: So, I did not drop this!:) Skipped some scenes, but the main character's interactions, I had fun! And when I'm having fun 1st episode already, I continue watching. The "job interview" fight was HILARIOUS. And there's the 'Sexual Content' tag to look forward to;-)
Episode 2: Lots of comedy and clearly gay side-characters. Kinn is supposed to be a hardass, yet he's surrounded by toots.
Epi 3: Porsche got reassigned to join Kinn's toot brother's bodyguards, who are all bored out of their wits. Porsche was also bored. I was also bored watching. Isn't it too soon for this show to become boring? Still, it's more Comedy than Drama, the Genres listed here on MDL for this show should probably be adjusted.
Epi 4: First KinnPorsche kiss. The ever so conceited Kinn kisses the ever so carefree Porsche, who is drunk at that time and not sure he only dreamed it:) There's a comedic scene right afterwards. And I had to smile: the two of them so deserved each other:)) Not only is Kinn the one who kissed first, he's also the one who got jealous first. And despite being his boss, he can't handle Porsche easily: on him, none of his usual methods work. It's just SO enjoyable watching their dynamics. Just to watch Kinn's conceited smile freezing on his lips is a treat. Anyway, someone "smart" thought Kinn & Porsche NOT enough for the series, so there are more characters getting introduced, like "Kim" and "Porchay" who both look lame and I'll be skipping them from now on. After a funny scene where Kinn has to rescue his own bodyguard and admit his attraction for him, we get to first sex scene (Porsche is not drunk, he is high this time:) so it looks like the boredom is gone. Though this show IS over crowded by various toots, freaks and lame looking bad/boys.
Epi 5: Porsche gets sober. To be honest, it's the first time his character is seen sobering up in general:) It does fit the situation though, because no matter all the comedy, the day he entered the mafia bussiness his carefree days were numbered. Is that worth the money he is earning? It was already mentioned before, that all his house debt and his younger sibling's education cost was taken care of just by selling Kinn's watch from their first random encounter. I'm no longer interested in watching the side-character toots. There's scene of Kinn with his father, reminding him he should not focus on one piece of the whole chessboard only, resulting in Kinn deciding punishment for Porsche, for his letting himself be drugged on duty:) With this irony, his letting himself be f****d by his boss on duty is left unmentioned lol. Watching Porsche being punished, I couldn't help thinking he would be better off had he (after getting Kinn's watch) never accepted to work for him. Why did he have to go through any of this? Then, both Kinn & Porsche try to sleep with other people to forget. This seems to be more important for Porsche, because in his case he could be the top with that other person, also that person is female. There's not much need for Kinn to change, he's doing his usual, so him being bothered that it's someone else than Porsche looks like more serious involvement... There's this "Vegas" guy who's supposed to bring more element into this but he doesn't have a good cast. And it's not just him. Basically, anyone except Kinn, Porsche, Pete, or Big is unwatchable. Then, Porsche actually receives a decent offer from his employer, especially considering Porsche did cause him some trouble:) He can take a leave, be with his younger brother, then decide if he wants to return to the job, or walk away without any hassle. I must say this satisfied my reservations. Then, we get a small rom-com part by the end of this episode:)
Epi 6: "Mafia action" is back, again. Kinn & Porsche just barely started to talk about the two of them, so of course they were soon interrupted. I was prepared to endure endless action sequences, but instead, the two of them are alone in a wilderness:) They are stuck together so they have plentiful interactions. And it's fun again, and it's cute and adorable:) It's like they went on a sort of a prolonged date. I admit by now I find both Kinn & Porsche's casting suitable (Kinn's bewitching handsomeness Vs. Porsche's immense cuteness) and them both well compatible together. It's romantic and even Kinn repeats the good deed of his father. Even Kinn lets Porsche go.
Epi 7: It's now clear that Kinn loves Porsche, he took a bullet for him. It's clear that Porsche won't leave his job with him. It's 1/2 series still ahead. It's implied that Kinn might switch places with Vegas within the mafia hierarchy (if Vegas succeeds to do that), and asks Porsche to still stay with him, if that happens. Personally I didn't care about this plot, it didn't matter to me whether Kinn is major or minor mafia member, I'm more about excitement in relationships. Even if this might be just a beginning of a some bigger plot. The Vegas guy (unlucky name, thai are unable to pronounce "s" at the end of the word) is lame and I'm not interested in him. If he's to be coupled with Pete it might be the only thing that might save the boredom of watching him. (I'm skipping the "Kim" and "Porchay" scenes entriely.) The minor family entertains Porsche in seemingly more kind & relaxed environment (where everyone eats in an open courtyard overlooked by multiple tall buildings which can harbor unknown number of snipers, lol) offering cool toys to Porsche, while Kinn looks like in an awkward position in compare, as everyone can tell that he's in love. But then everyone remembers the last time that happened, he got paranoid and killed his guy. Porsche hears about this. Kinn doesn't want to be paranoid this time, yet he lives the kind of life where everything pushes a person to be paranoid... Last scene, after Vegas pi**es off, it's good stuff again;-) I'm loving this:D This is not boring!:D
Epi 8: Happy phase. KinnPorsche are dating. They're both super adorable:) When Porsche thinks he's being haunted by Kinn's dead ex, it's hilarious. But when that one turns out to be alive and becomes added character on the show, it's clearly a mistake...
Epi 9: Let the dead rest! Adding Tawan into the mix was the kind of mistake I could see BEFORE it happened. This show went downhil at 1/2 already, which is an exceptional pitty, it WAS so enjoyable LOL. Pete is likeable & funny. A bit unconvincing as a bodyguard, a bit mushroom haircut, but generally a nice guy. But, didn't they have anyone better to pair him with, than "Vegat"? (Thai are unable to pronounce Vegas.) He looks horrendous. I'm not interested in watching this side line. Which I know about from the other reviews, by the way. It's not that anything is really happening between the two as of yet.
Epi 10: Vegas, Vegas, Vegas... Who cares about him? He keeps hovering around Porsche, nothing in between him and Pete, like everyone mentiones. Then there's Tawan again... Who cares about HIM? This show, I'm skipping enough characters already. Now even the main line got plagued by the weeds. I found the whole Vegas-Tawan plot idiotic and it took 2/3 of this episode to resolve it. What now? Okay, now there's Vegas-Pete. But even Pete is too cool for Vegas. Luckilly, we leave that off soon and we get to watch KinnPorsche couple scene in which Porsche punishes Kinn in a way that even I can't spoiler for you, LOL.
Epi 11: Okay, the Vegat-Pete couple everybody appreciates so much? These two get first proper one-on-one scene in episode 11/14, not sooner. And it features Vegat torturing Pete. Is that supposed to be romantic or what? LOL. I found Pete still more cool than banshee-faced Vegat with his "toys". Does he get off on it? I'm not even interested to know. I would so wish Pete would get an attractive guy. He is not really hot but he is cute, with even cute personality:)) But this "Vegat" is lame both character/actor. Normally I would skip any scene he is in. KinnPorsche are no longer exciting. They got happy too early. But, they both say they love the other for people to hear, which is cute. Vegat keeps getting on my nerves, besides being really ugly he's got the annoying habit of randomly speaking in english, despite being surrounded by thais only, in his natal Thailand. Did I mention "lame"? The only thing I wished to see would be that Pete would kill him, despite being the one held there in chains. That would have really delighted me:) After all, we still have 3 episodes left. I would love them Vegas-free.
Epi 12: Another bit of past is revealed which explains why was Porsche accepted into Kinn's house so easily. And why morally speaking, he kind of belongs into the family... It brings a short KinnPorsche angsty moment, which I enjoyed, and also emotinal conclusion. As for our 2nd couple I started reluctantly watching: After his hedgehog dies so it doesn't have to listen to Vegat's english anymore, Pete gets out of his chains. I so wished he would just leave (I would follow his scenes, but not Vegat's anymore), but of course, no. Pete stayed even though he certainly didn't owe him any friendship. I didn't find it touching. Vegat didn't deserve him. And thanks to Pete's stupid decision I kept watching him, instead of skipping all his scenes easily. Then there's a kiss scene & bedscene between the two, which I found a BIT unconvincing, maybe? I mean Pete's whole body was weakened and covered with wounds which Vegat first inflicted, then mended, he practically dragged Pete out of his coffin in the last minute. So I just didn't find him then jumping his bones that hot, LOL. Plus, Vegat is creepo and when Pete looks like he's enjoying his kinky stuff, he looks creepy, too. I don't like Pete anymore. Okay now I can completely skip this couple, LOL. Then there is an ending scene which hints that yet more of Porsche's family past shall be revealed next time. Ugh, I would prefer that theme to be closed by this episode. But, just like with Tawan, I bet the writer won't stop at the right point (obviously never heard of "Less Is More").
Btw., I noticed now (it took me a while, lol) that the end credits repeat the same title song, only sung in english. It doesn't sound as good in english, though. I prefer the opening credits version.
Episode 13: We ARE to niggle in the past, like there wasn't enough of that. Why didn't the writer learn? Imagine they would do the same with Tankhun and let him occupy the screentime ALL the episodes with his "humour", so no one would be actually able to enjoy the drama LOL. But, it's like when we get rid of one annoying element, they immediatelly put a new one in place. So, after bearing with Tankhun-Tawan-Vegas (whom I skip by now, along with Pete), we bring back even the shady "uncle", to harrass us some more... Porsche doesn't do much about it yet, meaning it would plague the final. As if he knew I just mentioned him, Tankhun makes an appearance, too:) He's all tearful and worried about Pete (sorry bro, don't follow his story anymore, so I don't know whether he died, yet) which is an awkward watch, his actor really cannot act. Which includes he doesn't know how to cry onscreen, so he wails like a hyaena.
Final: Well, the only thing final epi lacked was a ghost haunting & UFO landing. First, it was funny, the way Pete returned, also blissfully without Vegat. But then, it looked Vegat is going to hang out with Porsche, again, and help solve his family past drama. SO not interested in that both... I didn't like what was revealed, as mentioned hundred times: Less is more. What we thought in episode 12 was enough. Gun as a jealous and frustrated relative, NOT main villain, was enough (minor & major family was supposed to COMPETE as a smart way to always stay on top as a FAMILY, not to stupidly annihilate one another: and then the final twist surprise is even more stupid and it's a total hispanic telenovela farce). Tawan as a dead boyfriend was enough. Pete as a friendly character was enough and would suffice as a comic relief (originally he was more funny than the braying Tankhun). Kinn & Porsche was enough, no need for Kim & Porchay. AND the main plot about being a mafia boss & his bodyguard, was also ENOUGH.
This is why thai series never really achieve greatness.
Because it never knows when it's enough.
P.S.: The only thing I wished to happen during the silly mess videogame-action sequences was for Vegat to accidentally kill Pete and then weep his gay weep, because that's what the character deserved. He never deserved the cool moments he had. But, LOL at Porsche's "I have another gun";-) Which was the last good moment of KinnPorsche. You'll excuse me if I thought it moronic of Porsche to accept the ring right after he witnessed what the guy did with its previous owner, and then have his "cool" walk around the corridors. Or brain-damaged family reunion. It couldn't be more kitchy, I was not able to hold even my original 8 stars rating in place. But! Episode 7 final scene rating: 10. LOL.
1st episode: So, I did not drop this!:) Skipped some scenes, but the main character's interactions, I had fun! And when I'm having fun 1st episode already, I continue watching. The "job interview" fight was HILARIOUS. And there's the 'Sexual Content' tag to look forward to;-)
