A Ravenous Fest Indeed!!!

A Mafia Show where Morality Lines are blurred paired with sensual Eroticism & Volatile Romance.

"This is a mafia series, but it overflows with heart."
- Nattawin. W

KPTS is not for the faint-hearted. Its gritty, sexy, violent , comedic and yet so romantic and layered.
It's not your regular BL and KP makes it clear since its premise.

This review will be mostly about the main slayers of the show. "Kinn & Porsche"

PLOT:

It all starts off on one faithful night when Kinn and Porsche randomly crash into each others world. Little did they know that from this moment on their destiny would be tied together.
It's a chaotic Destiny that eventually become one of the most beautiful mess.
Porsche is someone that had to become the main pillar of his family at such a young age. a brother to feed, debts to be paid and a gambler Uncle......Nothing in life is easy for him.
A soul that craves for affection and freedom....something he never got until....
Kinn, Rich Mafia heir...cold hearted on the outside. He seems to have everything someone could possibly desire; power, money, the good looks, someone who can have anything he wishes for served on a platter.
And yet despite all that there are certain aspects he can't seem to afford : Trust, Love & Freedom.
His Mafia Responsibilities, a burden thrown at him that are synonymous to handcuffs; where death is the only way to escape.

What happens when someone who's very much Authoritative and someone who's a stubborn like no other are forced to be together ?
Chaos and misunderstandings ensures....
But despite all that there is this undeniable attraction that quickly develops
The Heart had other plans and oh WELL !!!
They start to realize they might have more in common that expected.
They slowly start to break e/o walls....Boundaries slowly getting blurred. Yet none of them dared to take the first step in accepting their feelings .
Then one particular moment changed everything. Anger, Curiosity & Confusion arose, pulling the heartstrings.
A turning point in their relationship and then the rest is history..........Off to a journey full of lust, irrevocable Love, sacrifice, Lies , dark secrets ready to be unearthed; where "TRUST" is the cornerstone of it all.

KinnPorsche has a very character centric plot….Its in entirety all about how the characters evolve from how they were initially presented to the viewers.
The Progression will keep you on edge, wanting for more and left with so many questions at the end of each single episodes.
As dark & heavy KPTS can be….the few comedic Relief here and there will leave you hollering.
This show can switch between being so serious to jocular in a matter of moments
The alternating change in the tone leaves you feeling like an emotional mess….Everything that I personally singed up for!!!

One factor that I particular for of is that there is not that deep emphasis of the characters sexuality. Its presents their sexuality as an inherent part of life.


CHARACTERS:

The progression of the characters during theses 14 Eps is absolutely enthralling. No matter which Couple you are the most drawn to you surely won’t crestfallen.

Lets talk about Kinn & Porsche…..

The perversion of Porsche and the humanization of Kinn happens concurrently all along.
One of them is freed from his destined fall and fell deeply in love while the other the other fell in love but his fall from grace began.

You can witness Porsche slowly losing his morality and adapting the the cruel world he was thrown into…slowly turning into a liquidator and master the arts of manipulation.
Kinn becomes Porsche safe space. It’s the first time he can actually fully rely on someone else shoulders; grounding him with a sense of security.
Kinn on the other hand, can finally be his true-self around Porsche. Someone who can show extreme compassion. Understanding, love.
Porsche became his escape from the burden that he constantly carries around. Kinn is someone who care a lot about “his people”. Everything he does is all for his family. A priority that comes before his own desires.

To see and feel how far the both characters evolved since Ep 1 is worth very hour spent.


The acting from Mile and Apo was just Marvellous and top-notch. They embodied Kinn and Porsche all throughout
Mile & Apo made Kinn & Porsche look so convincingly in love with each other with so much sexual tension….You could feel their chemistry right thru your screen. Something very rare you could say in shows nowadays.


MORALITY:

KPTS overall is all about morally grey characters. The show tackles an array of very sensitive topics: SA, DubCon Attempted Assault crimes, drugs, tortures and many more

I’ll quote both Mile and Apo’s words in regards to this topic

“KPTS not fashioned to meet the checkbox criteria of morality, nor does it align itself with any concrete stance of right or wrong. Viewers will find that morality really can’t [easily] be defined; The world is grey, in a sense, and they’re just human beings who go through life. The characters often justify any means to reach an end, including inexcusable actions that many viewers will no doubt condemn; in one way or another, the KinnPorsche rogues’ gallery will surely fill to an abundance. The audience nowadays have access to [a lot of information], and so they have the discretion to discern what is right or wrong. If the viewers watch our show with empathy, they of course will [learn] something because in the way we present the characters, it is the harsh reality of life, and we as human beings are not black and white. Everything is gray. It’s a mafia series, after all.”


Viewers needs to keep a very broad perspective while watching KPTS. If you watch it while trying to fit the characters in society’s moral beliefs, it will soon becomes a show really hard to digest.
The show does not condone any of the characters behaviour. It’s a representation of In good there’s evil and In evil there cab be good and viewers has to keep that strongly in mind.


SEX SCENES:

The NC scenes in KPTS is not made with the intent of having sex scenes just for the sake of it. Each and very of the erotic scenes is a direst reflection of the characters feelings for each other. The erotic scenes are shot in such a beautiful an artistic way, that carries and convey a lot of emotions to the viewers.
For instance, with Kinn & Porsche dynamic, it focuses a lot of how actual sexual pleasure derives from the reciprocated feelings they have for one another. They make love because they feel wanted and desired. It is the eroticism of making someone desire you, love you to the point that everything about you affects them on a physical, emotional & spiritual level. The sex is laced with desperation, guilt, affection and anxiety of what the future holds for them. It so raw and real rooted from a space in reality.
Its simply mind-blowing how this was portrayed on screen. ART AT ITS FINEST!!



CINEMATOGRAPHY:

The cinematography of KPTS is just impressive and mind-altering.
The camera placement; the hight & low angle shot, The movement, the aspect ratio, SFX, lighting, mood, blocking and colour gradings were so meticulously done
Did not expect less from the cinematographer of CMBYN



MUSIC SCORE & SOUNDTRACK :

The Music score was top-tier. Often times many show fail to choose the right sounds and appropriate timings . This sometimes makes scenes comes off a cringeworthy or its completely shatters the mood that was originally intended.
KPTS did and amazing job with it. The sound effects were carefully carried and chosen and never left a scene feeling dull

The OST was beautifully written to coney the perspective of both Kinn & Porsche
Free Fall gives an insight of Porsche’s POV while Phiang Waichai gives that of Kinn’s

WDYS by Jeff Satur conveys the ups and downs of a relationship and beauty of being in a relationship. While in contrast to 5 seasons which narrates about the hardships each and every character had to face when it concerned the matter of the heart


OVERALL:

KPTS does have its plot holes here and there but its not something that deters the plot. Its not perfect with many flaws throughout
Could they have done better ? Yes
There are some questions deliberately left unanswered and its lays the foundation for a possible second season
But the beauty of this show outweighs the few downsides it had.
Its a breath of fresh where a show finally portrays that queer characters can be morally grey .
A BEAUTIFUL STORY ABOUT RETRIBUTION, LOVE & POWER
