Love Sky!!!
1. PayuxRainHonestly, the first couple wasn't it for me. Aside from Boss looking godly in his ponytail, I loathed the character Rain as I couldn't bare how a 19-year-old acted like he was a day passing 6 or something. Their story was chopped, cringe, and most questionable with how Payu acted unrealistically domineering and Rain was an utterly helpless damsel-in-distress. What's with the waterworks????
I had originally given up on LITA right after finishing EP4 because it just didn't have any appeal nor those aspects that would rope whoever watches it in. My god, for me personally, I can handle no secondhand embarrassment without possibly popping a vein. I just recently gave it a shot because of the second story; SkyXPrapai.
2. SkyXPrapai
Alright, in my opinion, FortPeat did a job well done with what little they were given in terms of production and story. They were definitely worth the watch. I love Sky and his sassy yet capable personality, but how he immediately was reduced to just Prapai's boyfriend was kind of meh. I love Prapai too as their more consistent story developed his morally grey characteristics of not taking 'no' as an answer and pushing himself onto Sky subdued. He actually tried to change. (the bar is so low fuck it) Their 'soft' moments made me MELT X (i love their chemistry)
Given its MAME, sexual assault has been reduced to a mere plot device here too and it was overall hella red-flagish for both stories. But I like how Peat's portrayal did somewhat of a good job so it wasn't totally pulled in on the last episode but throughout their journey.
To summarize this up,
SkyXPrapai>>>>>>>>>> PayuXRain

All the hype isn't there for nothing.
I'm here to say, this is by far the BEST show I've watched that really brought something to the audience, serving nothing but talent, striking visuals, and excellent cinematography. Since I've seen some people be really 'bitter' about this show's morals and this being only s*x scenes and whatnot, zip it up and see for yourself if it's worth the hype or not.It's a Mafia BL and, surprise surprise, supposed to be dark and intense but they DO NOT justify the grey morality moments AT ALL. Some people jump to conclusions way too soon for their good.
It's not always required for one guy to be 'feminine' in a gay relationship, portraying a 'female' because that's bullsh*t. Everyone may vary and not necessarily have a 'damsel in distress' type persona. Men in this series stood up for themselves and needed no 'man in shining armor to lock them away in some tower for safety'.
Kinn and Porsche give Alpha×Alpha vibes that are SO rare and such a switch up from what's mainstream, I feel that's why it's special.
For me, it was worth every second each Saturday I stood awake for the episode release. I'd wax poetry any day about how MileApo's chemistry and the production team just delivered every single time. Unlike some eye-candy engaging in awkward attempts of romance catering solely to the enjoyment of hetero women, using taboo themes as plot devices no matter how wrong they seem, (yeah I'm calling out this one show that was way more hyped than it delivered) everyone went in depths to portray what they're supposed to, went into the character and not just for the 'camera'. You could see in behind the scene and what the actors themselves say, they have even had hard times breaking away from their character after a scene.
BibleBuild hit the nail spot on with their screentime, despite being short, had quite the impact as Vegas and Pete quickly became one of the most loved side couples in the BL industry. As well as KimChay, though it would've been better if they had more scenes to develop properly.
How unique and powerful is the characterization here!!! Literal art for some scenes.
Having a few OSTs that make you FEEL, especially 'Why Don't You Stay' is GOLD and matches just well with the scenes they pair with.
Storywise, there were some cliche spots, yet chemistry on and off camera just somehow makes it up for me. Everyone looked good, brought justice and liveliness to their characters in the best way, making it a hell of a journey for more than 3 months. Watching Kinnporsche was one of the best choices I made. The dramatic fandom is the cherry on top, ngl.
It ended yesterday with EP 14 being the longest and in my opinion one of the best ones. It somehow feels empty now and I have no sense of what I'm gonna do next lmao, but with the discussions being brought up about some obvious plot holes and secrets that are yet to be revealed, I'm crossing fingers for a Season 2.
I NEED S2 to survive.
All the hype isn't there for nothing.
