Drama: KinnPorsche The Series

KinnPorsche The Series is an action-packed drama that also balances angst with comedy. The show started airing in April 2022 and wrapped in early July 2022. It became incredibly popular. All the attention is well-deserved. I don’t see that popularity waning.

The main characters of the show are Kinn Theerapanyakun, played by Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and Porsche Kittisawat, played by Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat. This was my first time seeing these actors’ work and they were incredible in their roles.

Now that the dust has settled, I’m going to delve into the series. There’s so much to explore and enjoy:

Characters – Kinn and Porsche head up the crew, but there are many other notable characters. These include Kinn’s older and younger brothers, Tankhun and Kim respectively. There’s also Vegas, one of the main antagonists, who’s often a few steps ahead of many other characters.

Story – KPTS features some of my favorite tropes, including Forced Proximity, Found Family, and Hurt/Comfort. (These are the main tropes I wrote in my male/male romance series, The Agitator’s Code.) Kinn is a mafia boss and Porsche becomes his bodyguard, giving the show a morally gray center. Just the foundation of the relationship prompts viewers to explore the complexity of Kinn and Porsche being together.

Soundtrack – PhiangWaichai, by Slot Machine, as well as Free Fall, by Slot Machine are featured. These songs have the same tune with similar messages. I immediately added them to a playlist and often find myself listening to them. Other music includes Why Don’t You Stay, by Jeff Satur, who also portrays Kim. Even the incidental music is evocative. It perfectly helps to solidify the mood of each scene, especially during the private time between Kinn and Porsche.

The series is basically “the gift that keeps giving” because of the bountiful behind the scenes content. There are also fan-made videos as odes to this incredible couple.

This show is definitely worth more than one watch. The best part is that it’s short, at only 14 episodes. So, it’s easy to dive in and enjoy the chaotic duo of Kinn and Porsche.
