Upon revisiting this series, my perspective has shifted from my initial impressions when it aired. As a fan of gay dramas who later discovered BL, I didn't view 'KinnPorsche' primarily as a BL, but rather as a gay drama with some BL elements, especially due to Porsche's experience of falling for a man for the first time.

The story revolves around Kinn, the second son of a Mafia boss, who seeks protection from Porsche, a martial arts bartender who saves him one night. Although Porsche initially rejects Kinn's offer to become his bodyguard, he eventually agrees when Kinn threatens the safety of his family. Their relationship fluctuates between strained and playful as Porsche adapts to his dangerous role as Kinn’s bodyguard. When Porsche's feelings for Kinn take an unexpected turn, the lines of love and hate gets blurred.

As I approached this series from the perspective of a gay drama involving the Mafia, I wasn't as taken aback or shocked by the violence, including shootings and killings, as some BL fans might have been. It's important to consider the context of the series, which clearly presents itself as a violent Mafia-themed drama, and not a lighthearted BL.

The portrayal of sensitive topics like sexual assault and rape is not romanticized in the series, and it accurately depicts the aftermath by showing Porsche’s trauma. It's essential to be mindful when watching content that explores these themes and to understand that victims' reactions can vary greatly and may not align with Hollywood portrayals. Since I took this as a gay drama involving the mafia, I wasn’t shell shocked or consent policing the SA and rape scenes like a lot of BL fans who came into this series from the 2gether BL crowd. If you didn’t take issue with the violence of the mafia shooting and killing each other but with the rape and SA, then you have no business watching this series about the mafia underworld. This isn’t a magical fluffy BL where people stumble into each others arms and are suddenly in love.

Furthermore, the characters in the series are criminals within the underworld, which naturally involves morally complex and dark situations. Expecting a fluffy and idyllic romance would be misplaced.

In conclusion, 'KinnPorsche ' is a gay drama that delves into the world of the mafia, and it's crucial to appreciate it in the context it presents itself rather than imposing expectations from a fluffy BL perspective with consent policing and a SA/rape savior complex.
