Charming and light, but realistic enough to stay grounded
Words cannot express how much I love this series, but I will try to explain nonetheless.
What I liked:
- The ACTING. I was miserable after watching Bad Buddy, because I couldn't find a series that could compare or even come close to it, and MSP came to save the day. GeminiFourth (TinnGun) are great actors, and more importantly, they have amazing chemistry - as a result, even the scenes that I would normally find cringe come off as endearing and fun. I mostly appreciate the heavier scenes, where their acting abilities truly come to light. If you want to see more of that, I would recommend Moonlight Chicken, as their story is more dark and grounded than the one in MSP.
- Dedicating a second bullet point to their chemistry because I just can't talk about it enough. Their banter is my favorite part of their dynamic, especially when they have already confessed and enjoy provoking one another. I also like that their love language seems to be physical touch (more specifically chin grabbing lol) and acts of service.
- The music! If you check my Bad Buddy review, I stated that musical scenes usually make me cringe so bad I tend to skip them altogether. However, MSP was a happy surprise - not only were the scenes great, but the soundtrack was catchy as well. Like, I could get through all the songs and didn't really mind listening to them over and over (and, believe me, this series LOVES to rehash its best songs lol).
- Tinn's best friend was amazing and supportive, I really liked him. I've also warmed up to the actor since I've seen him in like ten different BLs, so maybe I'm biased, but I digress.
- Secondary and (potential?) third couple? Idk, I loved seeing everyone fall for each other and related to that one friend that just got no b*tches at all lmao
- Everyone had their interests! Tinn wanted to be a doctor to help people, and he liked music, and Gun liked singing but he also wanted to be able to provide for his mum. They gave depth to their characters and it made the story so much better imo
What I would change/improve:
- I understand that the actors are very young (they're my age, but compared to other BLs, where everyone is in their 20s, they are remarkably young), and that they're not going to be filming KinnPorsche 2.0 any time soon, but the lack of kissing really started to piss me off by the end. Like, they've confessed their feelings, they act flirty and go on dates, but can't kiss? The final kiss was nice, it felt natural and it was cute, but it almost didn't make up for all the slowburn and half-kisses we'd got up to that point. I was almost buzzing in my seat watching them do random stuff and thinking we would get no kiss at all. We did, but was it worth it?
- Tinn was a little bit too over-the-top for my taste sometimes, especially in the beginning. I think he improved loads throughout the series, though.
