A Gamechanger

When I read the book for KinnPorsche I was wondering... will this really be that good? I know the hype behind the show, personally I've been a part of it also, and with all that I knew that the show could just be overhyped and overrated. Hot Take: it is not anywhere near being overrated.

Coming from a country where there are many BL's that means there ultimately is a formula that could be followed and many stereotypes that are sort of a Niche to BL's as a whole. KinnPorsche isn't any of that, it's as the directors described, a story between two people. Regardless of gender the relationships are real, improved in areas to add a sense to further the characters. The characters are more developed, and looking into only the first episode alone I can tell this show will continue on a high point and only keep going up.

The story had so much potential as a book and I am so glad they are taking it seriously. I see so many ways that the topics could've been dealt with, and how the relationships could've been handled as well. KinnPorsche takes a completely new approach and offers something fresh, gritty, and overall a refreshing story as a whole. The production is top noch, and you can tell a lot of work went into this. I know as I've followed the production how much passion and care was put into this series. As a result this series is what it is. A gamechanger to BL's, setting a high bar for mature storylines within the genre of BL. This series shows that a series can be this cinematic and can be taken seriously as a whole. It's without the campiness around LGBTQ topics, it shows people and situations in a way that's respectful.

The acting is at the top, the production, the plot, the pacing, the chemistry. KinnPorsche had the care behind it and ultimately it's a show I highly recommend. KinnPorshe is adult, so I recommend to adults and feel bad for those who live their life not knowing this show exists or not watching it. Watch KinnPorse guys, it's really good

Pretty Flower Cherry Blossom Boys

To my surprise this drama actually is pretty good. I don’t know why I thought it would be bad, but I think I was skeptical of it being a period drama. some period dramas tend to have cheap costumes and extravagant sets that make it looking cheap and uninspired. Fortunately for this drama, it isn’t perfect with the costuming and wigs.. but that isn’t all this drama is relying on to tell its story.

It’s a pretty simple and easy to understand story so far. I am just happy that it isn’t pushing in ways it shouldn’t, like being a romance or being too dramatic, etc. instead this drama isn’t that ambitious so I can’t say it’s magnificent in accomplishing anything that hasn’t been done, but it’s doing something that is rarely done and that’s a feat of itself. I haven’t seen many dramas focusing on relationships between men without it being a romance, just a strong bond that can be implied one way or another. what’s good is that there isn’t any fanservice and this drama is just what it is.

Kentaro Maeda is definitely the driving reason for me watching this. I love to see him in a different role and love his character also. It’s nice to see a rivalry/friendship. I also like the idea of him being flawed and ultimately going against his best friend, and holding himself off from friendships to begin with.

It’s no masterpiece but this drama isn’t bad. The swordsmanship is stunning and imaginative. I love to see the actors themselves know the choreography and pull it off well, so for what this drama is worth it’s a bunch of young men learning to be samurai with the focus being on two of them. Also Kentaro Maeda’s stunning visuals have me agreeing with anything he says.. he’s a heartthrob and also is good at acting so.. what can I say. I’m a simple person and if the drama isn’t outright offensive or trying and failing to do something it’s pretty good!

My type of show

I am admitting that yes. I am enjoying this one. I am a fan of this type of humor and content, so in the end I am a simple person.

I'll keep it short. I love what GMM is bringing to the table with this one, especially with the new fresh leads. Initially I looked at the GMM lineup and was oney excited for another FourthGem series.. but damn.. this one is coming in and changing my mind. I wanted a boxing show somewhere in drama land, and I get this.. ontop of that it's a BL- a GOOD BL. Wow, I am here to stay. I will say a lot more when the time comes, but since there is only one episode I am just recommending to as many people as I can through this.

Don't watch if you aren't a fan of se*ual comedy, do watch if you are. Self awareness is all there, budget, acting, visuals, I can't complain yet. So now its a 9/10.
