#kinnporsche ep 3

[misspoetree]

Shoutout to Tankhun's sunflower suit and his futuristic space man outfit because I feel like they are complete opposites...and it's fucking hilarious how they happen within 5 minutes of the same episode.

(And I totally forgot about both of them even though they're amazing)

KinnPorsche ep 3 Rewatch Rambles:

Tankhun's room looks so fun but also migraine-inducing... so yeah it really suits his character lol

I wanna know what series they're watching

The way Arm hides behind that teddy bear in shame and bites its ear lol

Tankhun's expressions and gestures give me lifeeeee 💅 and I love how he treats his bodyguards kinda like buddies most if the time, he's somehow kinda chill while also being a total drama queen. He's just the queen bee of the mean girls clique

That bar scene must have been so much fun to film

LMAO Porsche's face when Kinn's "friend" leaves

Honestly the red hair looked so good on Tankhun - sadly it was only for the ad lol

Also as a German I can never get over the Deutsche Bank building right outside everyone's windows/balconies lmao

TANKHUN'S SUITS SLAY

Arm and his teddy bear I can't why is he so adorable

PORSCHE SMIRKING AT KEN BEFORE DROPPING INTO THE POOL SIR HOW HOT COULD YOU BE

Supportive besties being supportive

Sorry Arm you are the nerd

Kinn ordering Pete to take Porsche outside 🥺

AND KINN TUGGING PORSCHE TO THE SIDE WHEN THE GUY SHOOTS

Porsche being too focused on the guy he just shot to notice his injury or Kinn's genuine concern 🥲 I'm fine

AND KINN SENDING HIS LOVERBOY HOME BC HE CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT PORSCHE AIIIIIIIII IT'S STARTING IT'S REALLY STARTING HUH

Kinn taking care of Porsche's wound, Porsche pretty much admitting that he was only training so hard so that Kinn would take him back, the eye contact THE EYE CONTACT! KINN'S SMILE WHEN HE'S JOKING ABOUT SUSPECTING PORSCHE! IT'S STARTING IT'S STARTING AAAA

Still feeling bad for Big

I can NOT get enough of Kinn's smile. Mainly because it's Mile's smile that I can't get enough of heheh

KINN AND PORSCHE WHAT EVEN IS THAT TITTY SHAKING DANCE BATTLE?? AND THE HUG????

...why was Arm not wearing anything underneath that zipper hoodie... the stripping scene kinda reminds me of the Pony live stage performance - except Bas's face in that performance was a lot less goofy than Arm's in this scene lol

THE PIER SCENE!! It's clear there was already something there otherwise Porsche wouldn't have dragged Kinn out and Kinn wouldn't have followed but I wish we could've seen it develop a bit more before that kiss followed by lots of awkwardness lol they were really speedrunning the enemies to lovers thing (ok the partying is a valid catalyst tho I know what alcohol, a good time and some Real Talk ™️ can do to the dynamic between to people)

Literally why are they communicating this well in this scene but then never again

Ok but what a beautiful kiss. Because all of their kisses are beautiful. Lovely.

I always wonder what happened immediately after tho... did Porsche just pass out before there could be any reaction to the kiss on either side? Did he just slap his knees and go "welp" before getting up and going back to join the others? I have to know

[mileapo]

oh that's not-

You Never Cared (Enough)

This. This is the moment, I think, where Porsche finally admits to himself he wants Kinn.

Because Porsche isn’t really arguing against Kinn’s point here.

Kinn does care about his people - we’ll see very clear examples of that later in the series (when he’s grieving for Big and Erica, when he saves Pol and Pete during the shootout, etc.), and Porsche has concrete proof that Kinn cares just as much about him -

But Porsche doesn’t want Kinn to see him as an employee - a responsibility. He doesn’t even want to be seen as a friend.

He wants Kinn to admit that being with Porsche meant something… different. That he didn’t just use Porsche, to get it out of his system, when he was an easy target.

Because it was different for Porsche.

As far as we know, the end of episode 4 was the first time Porsche had sex with a man, the first time he’d had sex after being drugged, and… the first time he’d had sex with someone he really liked. Someone he’d been starting to get to know, who irritated and intrigued him all at once, instead of just a one-time fling.

And he barely got any time to process all of that - his sexuality, his autonomy, his feelings - before Kinn shut down, put more distance between them than ever before, and became cruel -

So it’s only now, after getting time away to get back to who he was - in his own house, spending time with his brother and friends - that Porsche has finally worked out just why he’s so hurt by Kinn.

That, despite everything, he doesn't want to be just one of Kinn's people.

He wants Kinn to care more about him.

The Chay Rewatch

As part of my KP Rewatch, I’m going to be commenting on each episode and analyzing the different Chay scenes. He’s my favorite character, and I thought I’d put down my thoughts (as well as timestamps for his scenes) as a fun way to express that.

Ep 1 & 2 Chay Rewatch

Episode 3 - Enter Kim Stage Right

Time: 1:46 – 1:54 & 2:04-2:07 – Previously on, my greatest enemy and only ally

At least they used different clips this time

Where is my baby boi? Where is Chay? When will he return?

Ep 3 dives deeper into how screwed up all three of the major family boys are

Kinn can’t commit and is slowly falling for who Porsche is

Tankhun is hilarious, and his outfits are always a treasure trove of weird fashion. His trauma is so present even when he’s having fun. Tong plays him so well.

And then there’s Kim.

Time: 31:38 – 33:51 – Mysterious Balcony Man

The introduction to Kim is done is pieces, slowly feeding the audience. The storytelling carries on the amazing writing from episode 1. It’s a great way of showing that Kim may not be living in the compound or running things, but he’s one to watch out for (and maybe even fear). First, we hear Pete’s description of him back in ep 2 (that essentially states he’s dangerous and aloof while also setting up that his storyline isn’t going to connect to the family compound much) and then we hear his voice just before Big bows to someone offscreen. The build up tells the viewers that this new person, the one that we’ve been waiting for almost 3 episodes for, is powerful and to be feared. The colors of this scene are also noticeably darker as compared to the warmer tones used in the main family compound or the bright pink from Yok’s bar.

I adore the first shot we get of Kim. Standing with his back to the camera, he retains his air of mystery, but the metal fixtures on the glass doors make me think of a birdcage. He’s out of the compound, hell he’s even in the open air, but this shot shows that he’s just as trapped in the mafia world as his brothers despite the space he’s tried to create between himself and his family. He’s the songbird trapped in Korn’s game.

“Are you in the wrong place?” – Kim is so bitchy I love him. This is Kimhan Theerapanyakul, the third son. Before we even see his face, we get to know his arrogant and aloof side. Except do we? Kim immediately asks who is protecting his brother, and he knows enough about Kinn’s guards to know that Ken is the likely successor with Big injured. Kim’s emotions are always just under the surface. The only problem is no one digs deeper until we get to Porchay. Everyone is scared of Kim or just accepts the mask he shows them.

Kimlock Holmes makes his introduction. A new bodyguard with a suspicious background? Who’s been put on the security detail of both of his brothers? Big you might as well have wrapped this mystery with a bow. In all seriousness, Kim is protective of the few people he allows into his heart (though he will never ever tell them that), and this news would have put his brain on red alert because Kim will not tolerate any harm to his loved ones.

“Do you want one heartbroken song, huh?” – What a little bitch, again I love him. Kim sandwiches his concern for his brothers with two backhanded comments attacking Big. Kim (I’m going to let you all in on a secret) is very bad at hiding. His concern, his conspiracy board, his feelings for Chay, etc. This man is so lucky that everyone is a little scared of him and knows to keep away, or he’d be found out in an instant. (Also, only one Kim? After Chay blocks you, you’ll be writing a million. Love the foreshadowing to Kim’s inevitable heartbreak though. This show does do great set up for some of the storylines)

And then the scene ends without ever showing the viewer Kim’s face further drawing out the viewer’s introduction to Kim. Its honestly great set up for this character, and while he’s not the only one receiving this kind of drawn out treatment (hello Vegas in ep 2 with the hot assassin lady) his is done successfully. I remember first watching this show with no background at all wondering who the hell this guy is (I did have to rewatch the scenes to match the voices before I could connect mysterious balcony guy to WiK but that’s neither here nor there)

Kim’s outfit: Either costuming or Jeff really love themselves an oversized suit jacket. It makes Jeff look bigger than he actually is which works for the introduction of his character. Its also very different from his other outfits through the series. He’s dressed closer to the major family look with his suit jacket and darker color scheme. He still retains his idol status though making this one of the few looks that blend his two personas. I have a few theories about how Kim uses his different jackets as a shield to hide his real self, given the only times we see Kim not wearing his jackets is when he’s in his feelings about Chay (ie the warehouse scene, the fight in Yok’s bar, him recording the song, him crying over Chay’s polaroids), I’d say I’m close to being right

Still no Chay, but I will accept meeting his love interest during this Chay drought

Overall Chay Rating (Chrating): I’ll give this episode a D

There’s still no Chay, but we get a really great introduction to Kim which sets up Chay’s entire storyline. Thus, a slightly better grade. Episode 3 in general is better than episode 2 to me. Its not jamming a ton of character intros and wacky worldbuilding into the episode the same way Ep 2 does. We get a real introduction to Tankhun and Kim as well as the first sparks of KinnPorsche. I could have done without 2 party scenes in one ep (mainly because to me it makes them feel rushed), and it makes me as a viewer wonder when we’re going to get any real mafia action in the mafia romance story. But overall, I have one question... WHERE IS MY BABY BOI?!

Rosary devoted to misery - A Vegas Theerepanyakul playlist

blood on your hands and now blood covers mine, having the time of my life // i want money and power, my black heart's to blame // pouring some champagne over your panties so that we can cheer // i came up from the depths of hell with a golf club in my hand // i can't win, full of sin, wishing i was dead // you were kind and i was cruel // darling we should get together, i could worship you forever // please don't say it's over, you're too much to lose // i can't seem to find the truth in anything, so i'll realign 'til i feel born again

ep. 14 should've been called "the return of tits out Porsche"

[movementsofmylife]

kinnporsche ep 3 (rewatch)

so while i was a fan of the partying, it was cute and khun was great, some of the scenes were faaar too long. actually the whole episode felt just slightly too long.

that being said, still fun.

first, this validation. incredible. feel so affirmed. do not tell me if this dude (whose name i fully forget) becomes evil or w.e.

these friends!!!! peeeete!! why can't we just get a show of pete and porsche have a fun time and never get hurt?

i could have grabbed any screenshot of khun. his fits were immaculate as always. a fan of the shoulders here.

ok so, i vaguely remember some discourse happening around this line when the show was coming out. it's clearly a line which is more an indicator of the character's internal feelings and experience with the world than a statement of fact about the world. pete sees a very morally gray world.

and i do disagree with the implications of this statement, that there is no good or bad when it comes to what they're doing at the moment. being a mafia debt collector, someone who hurts people over money of all things, is kind of fucked up. murdering people is kind of fucked up. like yes it can be complicated, and it is in porsche's case (idk about pete but he probably has some tragic backstory too), but it's still fucked up.

and i'm also a huge fan of the set up of pete as a morally gray character who doesn't really see good or bad in the world or actions. which really makes me wonder, why does he do things?

which finally leads me to this. and kinn. ngl i prefer pete's lack of morality, over kinn's clearly present morality which is being overridden by (learned) helplessness. hopefully the arc of this show is him learning to make choices and set boundaries. would genuinely love that for him.

i think it was a good episode but i don't think it was as strong as ep 1/2. it definitely hit harder the first time i watched. it sets up some interesting character dynamics which will hopefully pan out. (also fully didn't mention kim, but i'm waiting to scream over his dramatic, youngest child bs for when they show jeff satur's actual face)

[theonewholovesyou]

can’t believe i started my kinnporsche rewatch in march??? i feel like it was barely 3 months ago??? godddd what have i been doing?😩

whatever i’m back because i have been crying about them incessantly for the last few days (weeks) (months) so it’s time to bring them home.

Seconds Ago...

A lot can (and has) been said about the last scene in episode 3, and how important it is for Kinn and Porsche's developing relationship, but I want to focus in on just one small interaction between them:

Kinn (showing just a hint of vulnerability) asks Porsche, "When was the last time you (were) this happy?"

And Porsche cheerfully replies, "Seconds ago."

My first reaction to this was the same as Kinn's - amused, fond, and maybe a little disappointed, because Porsche is clearly too drunk to get what Kinn is really asking here.

But rewatching this scene knowing everything these characters will go through, I actually think that this response is perfect for Porsche.

Because Porsche has been through a lot of shit in his life - his parents' 'accident' put so much responsibility on his shoulders, and that's lead him, stumbling and bullied, down the path to organized crime - but despite everything, he still finds ways to have fun!

He has to scramble to earn money for their house, but he still runs grinning into the fighting ring.

He's forced to leave Chay to move into the compound, but he still finds joy antagonizing Ken and Big.

He's downgraded to the tedious task of guarding Tankuhn, but he still manages to drag Kuhn to his kind of night out.

And there's countless other examples in these first three episodes, and the series as a whole, of Porsche's goofy optimism getting him through!

Of course, the stresses of Porsche's life do still affect him (and we'll see him really struggle in just a couple of episodes) - but overall, he shows an amazing ability to put down his troubles for a little while and find joy in the moment.

Because he was this happy just seconds ago. So he knows he'll be happy again soon.
