Flash backing to the time I used a clip from Kinnporsche in an editing assignment during second year.
A graded assignment.
And when my lecturer asked what clip it was, I answered “oh, a mafia drama from Thailand”. All while my friend (who knew exactly what KP was) was trying not to die behind me.
I got a good grade on that assignment though.
Starting slow. Real slow burn found family drama but when they get together, the scenes are sexy. It’s all about consent, it’s between two people who love each other and it’s a real build up of what has been years of pining. Not a full sex scene, it almost gets there, but what we see is amazing.
The couple itself is really sweet and the plot is well paced and slow burn is burning. The drama as a whole was great and I loved how the characters grew and developed.
However, drama has violence, child homelessness, drug addiction, child abuse, gang violence, and kidnapping.
Available on Viki or KissKH.
This drama was lovely. With a real lovely slow burn romance that builds to an artistically filmed sex scene. While you don’t see much, just silhouette, you know what they’re doing. It’s intimate and so loving and more of an art scene than just sex. That’s one of the things I love about this drama. There is a real sense of intimacy and love between the characters. If you want to film a sex scene that doesn’t detract from the plot, then this is how you do it. It fit so well and was so visually aesthetic that it was my favourite part of the drama.
Available on KissKH and Bilibili.
Another beautifully shot scene. This one was intimate and fun and loving. The two characters laughing and just enjoying being by themselves without any pressures. It establishes a real bond and love between them that persists through later struggles in the show.
The scene is filmed beautifully too. The camera placement and cinematography makes it more than just a sex scene. It ties it all in with the character development and the plot, giving it a real intimate and unique feel to it.
One of my fave shows of all time.
Available on Viki, and KissKH.
The side story to Until We Meet Again but about the second couple from that show, Between is about Win and Team. The drama is more about overcoming ptsd and trauma with love and support. There is one sex scene that fades to black before the proper scene but there’s enough shown that I have included it in this list.
The filming of this drama was engaging and worked with the characters. The plot focused more on the developing relationship of the characters and their own personal growth in response to their relationship than it did on any physical aspect to it. It is a wholesome drama that can be watched without having watched the first drama.
I have rewatched this a few times.
Available on YouTube and Bilibili.
This drama is split in two. The first half is the main couple, a typical top and sub bottom type. The second half is a Dom bottom with a pleaser top. Both couples’ chemistry is on fire and their scenes are very sexy. (I was so surprised by their scenes the first time I watched it. I was not expecting them to be so explicit).
But other than the scenes the drama itself deals with some good character development. Especially with the second couple where it explores a character with SA trauma and his subsequent trust issues.
For a drama that at first looks seems cliche and full of tropes (which it is) it actually explores them while also making some of it quite easy to watch. It doesn’t lessen the darkness of some scenes but it doesn’t overly explore it either. The viewers know what goes on without having to see the scenes in full detail. I liked this style of filming though a few of the sex scenes were no necessary to the plot.
Available on Viki, YouTube (but censored) and KissKH.
I am building up to the messy dramas slowly.
This drama though. This one is for the ones who love soap operas. There’s cheating, betrayal, sex in weird places, recording and taping without consent, alcohol and drug abuse, fist fights, and manipulation.
Basically a group of friends get caught in the messiest drama ever. There’s lots of sex and lots of character development, not always for the better. There’s three main ‘couples’ and they are all involved with each other in a messy way.
Let’s just say that watching this weekly was like watching a bit of a train wreck and seeing who are the survivors.
Well acted, very well filmed but chaotic as hell. It will make you laugh, make you angry and might even make you cry.
In all of it the lesbians are the least dramatic characters.
Available on KissKH and Bilibili.
If you thought the drama above was messy, this was worse but in a different way.
This drama has you second guessing everything. With a complicated slightly sci-fi plot line, the sex scenes as used more to show power and influence and control between characters than they are to show romance.
There’s so much going on with the viewer guessing character motivations and plots that the sex scenes get pushed to the side quickly. They’re there, and very explicit (especially the first one) but plot wise they are nothing more than a basic shock or display factor.
Either way, those actors did a good job. I had trouble watching them cause they felt too explicit.
Also especially here for Bible having a bottom era.
The show was well filmed too, even if I was confused by everything half the time.
Despite the confusion and the ending with way too many unanswered questions, I did really enjoy the show and the sex scenes did make sense in the plot. They were also filmed really well and I loved the lighting.
Available on KissKH.
Came out before 4minutes but with Bible playing a top character this time (the duality of this man). This show I both love and hate. Open ending, too many side plots that weren’t explained, lots of unanswered questions. Every relationship was toxic in some way. Anyway, I loved it. Great lighting, well filmed and stylised. Amazing acting.
Though the sex scenes, especially between Kinn and Porsche, were too frequent and in too many weird places. (They’re exhibitionists. You gather that after the first time). They were well done scenes.
However, this drama is not for the faint of heart. There’s dubious consent, freaky kinks, kidnapping, bdsm (between Vegas and Pete and there was no communication during it but it was such a well filmed scene), manipulation, violence, death, torture, kidnapping, and abuse.
This drama was definitely for the depraved. (Me and others like me).
We’re never going to get a season 2 and I am so sad about that.
Available on Viki, and KissKH.
Here you go you depraved souls. I mostly watch dramas for the plot. I can’t help it when dramas like KP happen to have sex as their plot.
Oh well.
Enjoy.
In a universe where twelve year old Vegas meets fifteen year old Pete and they spend a few hours together. Those few hours make a lasting impact on Vegas.
It changes everything.
Here we go, my first VP fic.
All done and dusted.
I had the idea of what if they met as kids and Pete’s first loyalty is to Vegas. So this little fic came out of it.
Might expand on it later. Not sure. But I hope you enjoy.
where everything is the same except Macau and Kim are trans. Kim is FTM but likes to fuck with gender (in true Jeff style). WIK is an open lgbt supporter and supports lgbt youth charities but is not open as trans (cause wik was formed after he had transitioned and he just enjoyed being seen as male and completely forgot to mention that he had been born in the wrong body).
Kim is the mafia son who was a daughter and who’s only future was to be sold into marriage alliances. That would explain so much about Kim’s alienation from his family. He moved out as soon as he could and got everything changed, name, legal identity. He got surgery and testosterone. Tankhurn helped with that. Also he and Macau vibe every so often for complaining sessions. He helped Macau get access to good medical care.
Nothing about the plot changes. Kim completely forgets to tell Chay (he’s so comfortable in himself to see it as a thing that needs brought up). Until one day they’re changing together and Kim pulls his packet from his trousers and Chay goes brain dead. 😂
never thought i’d watch gentle torture aftercare but here we are-
Happy Kinnporsche Day!!!

Apo Nattawin as Porsche & Mile Phakphum as Kinn KINNPORSCHE THE SERIES (2022).
It's my meme so I'm reposting it ✨️

"Otherwise, why would you kiss me at the pier?"
(Please don't repost)
I suggest reading the previous 3 part series I made before this
The conflict
This is the only instances in ep 9 where Kim is conflicted when Porchay confesses. After seeing that mini shrine on his wall, hearing the love song, thinking of him during his own songwriting & now the innocent confession.
Kim stopped himself the last time when Chay serenaded him. And now Porchay has the audacity to be this cute innocent boy who promised God to risk confessing in return if he passed his college entrance exam.
Kim can't take it anymore. This is the ONLY instance until ep 12 where Kim has let his emotions get the better of him WHILE wearing a necklace.
This goes a long way to show the intensity of Kim's feelings. Considering he's somebody who suppresses his emotions with ease compared to an average person.
It can serve as symbolism for Kim letting himself indulge his emotional needs. He is removing his self imposed restrictions & involuntarily choosing to love. Choosing to be selfish in satisfying his momentary desire instead of constantly looking at the bigger picture.
And later when Kim gets a hug & hugs back. He's overwhelmed. He realises the warmth of a hug after being seemingly touch starved since years.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
No necklaces
We can take this at face value.
Kimhan unhinged Theerapanyakul.
In first 2 instances, Porchay is in kidnapped. And Kim himself is in action when he has Kinn & the bodyguards who could have rescued Chay for him. He not only risked his life, but also God forbid if he came out alive & Chay caught his lie.
These are the only cases where Kim is thinking about Chay as the boy he loves & not a source of information. Which is why he's acting based on emotions & not a well thought plan.
In the third picture he's visibly disturbed for someone who mostly comes across as stoic.
It also explains why an unexpressive person like Kim's first response is violence. If we look at what he did at the club, (4th pic) he need not have the been the person to hit first.
In conclusion, we see a glimpse of how fiery Kim actually is if not for that ice water if "rationality" he always dips himself in.
Part 1
Part 3
Special
The safety pins
Both are instances when Kim is intruding other's rooms to find information. Therefore the "I'm a safe space" symbolism of safety pin doesn't stand here. Especially when Kim is breaking into the place where others keep their things safe.
It could probably mean Kim is poking his nose here like a pin 😂😂
The safety pin is holding 2 ends of the chain, so it could also mean he's trying to piece together all the clues & information he can lay his hands on.

Special
Tankhun : *drunk* Hmmm too boring
*Kicking the g off the graveyard sign* much better let's get the party sTARTED!!!
Kinn : *panicking* Absolutely not!
Kim : So what's your type?
Chay : Handsome, musician, kind, good hair, oblivious, charming, mysterious and talented.
Kim : Sounds a lot like me...too bad we're just friends
Chay : Did I mention oblivious?
Kim : Yeah, why?
Chay : Okay, just making sure
Honestly VegasPete ship would never sail if Kinn had just paid more attention to the situation.
I'm not talking about him forgetting. It's when Vegas lies to him via text that Pete is going to see his grandmother who fell & probably got hurt .
Kinn you had the brains to ask her about his whereabouts but not her health?!🤦♀️ If only Kinn had even vaguely asked about how she fell he'd have discovered the lie.
And no grandma wouldn't have lied & agreed she's hurt. Because Vegas has told Pete had been given a vacation from the major family & not something he got from cooking up this excuse.
Seriously Kinn, if only you had remembered to be a little more courteous & paid attention to detail🤧🤦♀️
Part 4/4
For the first time Kim almost immediately loses his composure on hearing Porchay didn't turn up for his college interview.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how deep Porchay's love was. 😭 He must have dreamt of joining music school after idolising WIK. The more he got to know him, his idol became his muse & first love. (There's a quote which says "Love is creating a religion with a fallible God") He loved him with all his heart so when WIK left so did Porchay's ability to make art 🥺🥺🥺🥺
The vexed person here is not Kim but WIK. He was surprised after hearing even teachers found Porchay as promising as he did. He did spend time tutoring Chay & as a teacher, he was hoping his student to do well.
He also knows Chay is neither incapable nor weak. He was not like regular kids whose main struggles were graduating high school or getting into college. Porchay was coping with their uncle's betrayal. Porsche abruptly leaving him alone with a letter & no way of communication. He was fighting his battles alone the whole time & still managed to stay positive.
Kim probably went thinking Porchay lost confidence & needs reassurance. But then he realized he had been a monster all along. Because it hit him that WIK was the reason Porchay learnt to dream. And KIM was the one who crushed it.
When Porchay tells him off, Kim realises for the first time that he's not in position to lecture anyone. Now that he let someone know about his double life, who was he to teach about separating personal & professional lives? What right did he have to tell anything, when Porchay reminded that he never interfered in Kim's life?
When Kim left warning "From now on, what you do is your darn decision" I don't think he meant, "I'm no longer going to care about you or protect you."
Rather, he must have meant, "You're growing into an adult who needs to take responsibility of his life. So don't do anything that you would regret later." He's right. Porchay should have prioritised college. He's got a long life ahead to wallow, date & break up.
But it doesn't look right when it's coming from Kim, who grew up the way he did, has almost no issues listening to his head over his heart, and is now failing to either hold on or let go. He first leads him on, breaks his heart, and still continues to show up like a knight in shining armor. Only walk away without even an elaborate apology. He can't nurse his broken heart & move on until you withdraw from his life P'Kim😪
Now ik we're all rooting for a happy ending for our y/n x celebrity in a mafia au 😂
It's unrealistic to expect Kim to turn into this openly affection person with good communication skills. It's also weird if Porchay adjusts seamlessly into the world of organised crime. Yes even I want Kim to go out of his way & give Porchay a grand apology. I also hope Porchay says that he understands but he's still hurt. That he takes his time to heal & forgive.
A believeable happy ending would be the one where Porchay agrees to make an effort to understand Kim & his life. Meanwhile Kim stops separating parts of himself and promises to love Porchay as Kimhan Theerapanyakul instead WIK or KIM.
Love is not an end result but the efforts made every single day.

Part 3/4
No thanks to Tawan for kidnapping Chay to use him as a pawn, it does in a way solidify the fact Kim hasn't & will probably never love a person like he loved Porchay. (And rightfully so)
He now sees no point in saving Porcahy from himself. (Considering Porchay's own elder brother is now Kinn's boyfriend so he's now inevitably linked to the major family & at risk for the rest of his life) This was exactly the situation he was trying to avoid in the first place. But now, it still occurred for different reasons. So he decides to do the next best thing. Follow his heart & fight for his love.
Note how Kim risks coming himself? Despite having professionals who could have done the job for him? It's not only his life that's in danger. He's risking Chay discovering his lies. He's going back to the life he tried so hard to avoid.
Kinn doesn't hesitate to shoot at Vegas, his own cousin. He came with one clear objective. Rescue the love of his life & kill everyone involved in harming him.
Kim is successful in not only saving Porchay but also in protecting his identity from him. He seems to hate confrontation & would rather ghost than dump somebody (which frankly makes him a big jerk but it's a show about criminals so)
Once Kim learns some ugly truth (which I think hasn't been completely disclosed as of ep12) & the fact that Porchay is now living in the main house; he is assured Porchay is going to be safe from physical harm. So he chooses to focus on his plan. He's still a little gentle in turning down when he could've been snarky & ended it sooner. But he's still a jerk :))
What happens next is interesting. While Porchay starts losing his innocence owing to heartbreak (He's Good boy gone bad y'all!!! Any MOAs in the house?!!) Kim stops separating WIK from himself.
It's like they're apart, but they're still growing together. Porchay is learning that love is not just roses but also the thorns while Kim is realising the rose's beauty & fragrance is worth the blood & thorns.

Thinking about how this poem referenced in Hometown Cha Cha Cha perfectly suits KimChay.💔 Quite literally 😔 considering their interactions happen near entrances 🥺 not to mention they were each other's muse 😭😭😭😭
"The Gatekeeper" by Kim Haeng Soon (tr. David Bowles)
It’s my job to say, “You can’t do that here.”
It’s my job to deny your objective.
It’s my job to deny you the next day, too.
It’s my job to wait for you the following day to deny you again.
It’s my job to wait for you the day after that and fall in love with you.
So it’s my job to deny my love.
“I won’t cry over my vocation,” I wrote.
But while writing in my diary,
I sometimes wept.
Imagine Vegas being allowed to go on a field trip to a beach in a village when 13. It's got to do with his father's mission but he's grateful for the chance to use the school bus for once. Like other kids. Cut to Vegas sitting alone waiting for his father in the evening. His classmates have left for home.
He grabs fistfuls of sand & watches the grains slip from his hand while realizing the salt water on his chin is not the sea spray. Suddenly, a hand on his shoulder causes him to flinch. A cracked male voice enquires, "Are you lost?". He shakes his head sideways. On turning around he can't tear his gaze away from the sculpted features of a boy in oversized clothes & messy hair.
"Do you want a friend?" The boy asks again, flashing his dimples & eye smiles. Vegas nods in agreement. The boy sits beside him. "I'm Pete. Even I'm alone today. All my friends are away for vacation. Grandma will be back tomorrow morn. What's your name?" Vegas hesitantly responds, "Vienna. I'm just waiting for my father."
Vegas reads him a story and Pete listens to it with fascination. Pete picks & shows him various seashells but Vegas is only looking at his hands until he spots his father at a distance. Afraid of being spotted together he tells him to hide from his scary father & scurries away.
Since that day Vegas turns to that chest tingling memory for warmth & comfort. He even tries to find that boy but doesn't find any useful leads. Plus the nostalgia of first love also brings regret with it. The fact he didn't even say goodbye. To the boy who deserved to know his real first name at the least. So he tries to distract himself. By plotting against the major family to please his father (spoiler alert : he always fails to)
On a particular bad day the last thing he'd want to do was meeting the major family. But the minor family's heir didn't have the luxury to rest.
This time a new bodyguard greets them with a tight smile. Vegas catches himself thinking "He's cute" as the new recruit escorts them to the meeting room before taking a spot beside Tankhun and half of Vegas' attention.
As they're exiting the room Vegas picks up the new recruit's fallen ID card. He shakes his head in disbelief on seeing a familiar name. There's no way on Earth they could find the one only he knew & never found, right?
His face loses colour when he flips the case. It's like seeing the mirror of Erised. It was a face only he knew from seven years ago. With the same eye smile that had made him feel weak in the knees for the first & last time. There was an old woman in the picture too.
The major family somehow always seemed to have everything he wanted & never got. Loving parents, wealth, power, status, self esteem & respect. Life couldn't be more unfair. One boy, whose memory was only his, his first love, his sole comfort memory that didn't include his deceased mother. Somehow even this was bestowed upon the major family. The one he yearned for was now serving his rivals. They didn't even worship him like he did for 7 long years.
Vegas sought revenge. If he couldn't have his love then he'd never let his rival Kinn be in love either. So he pocketed the card & set out to trap Tawan.
Jeff: "We had only just met and had to spend 24 hours together and we slept in one room. So I showed him some games and we played some. Then I had to send him back to our room to drink some milk and sleep around 11pm. But the others were still playing, but I had to get him to bed first, so I took him back, right? I told him we could just play some more. So he took a shower, then I took a shower and when I was done he was still playing on his phone."
Jeff (6:32): A boy came out with long black hair, I didn't know if he was there to do castings but I thought he had an aura to him.
Jeff (8:26 Knight magazine interview): Actually it's like seeing myself when I was 18. Seeing Barcode takes me back, I also liked music and stuff, I was probably the same (as him) back then. But Barcode is better than me when I was 18. Really!
Apo (24:43): Jeff had to play a role with him. Jeff really was his sun. Jeff gradually brought Barcode into the team.
Jeff( 4:41): Hang on, he is 17, everyone. Like 9 years apart from us.
Jeff: (5:40): Don't tease him!
EP 105 SosatSeoulsay
Jeff scolding her when she talks to Barcode (20:09) You tease him!
Later (21:59) Jeff to Barcode: She has to do something, when you do everything for her. You can deny her.
Barcode: Ok, then no.
Jeff (KP Behind the scenes EP5 4:40): Barcode is so good at remembering the melody, it only took him a few minutes, and he could sing it out right away, so good.
Barcode: You’re flattering me too much.
Jeff: No, I meant it for real. This is pretty incredible since it’s the song that you heard for the first time. The lyrics were written just before we filmed this scene, but you could remember them all and be able to sing it right away.You are incredible. You memorized it all, and it’s like you really got the sense of music, for real.
Barcode (1:34): Jeff was always teaching me and he never scolded me. He will always be there to cheer me up.
Jeff Behind the scenes EP 7, 1:55): It’s ok. You can do this however you want. I will be right here with you, Barcode. Chill out, man.
Pond: Right, just relax and chill.
Jeff: Don’t be afraid that you will do this wrong. If it’s wrong, then let it be.
Pond: The dialogue doesn’t have to be 100% accurate.
Jeff: Right, you don’t have to stick to the dialogue at all.
Jeff: As for me, I’m also relaxing as well.
Later:
Jeff (2:46): I think maybe he felt that the role was too tough for him,and then felt pressured, and when that happened, he became so tensed up. When he is tense, of course, he can’t act that out because this scene has to be so lively. Then, he tried to change the direction, making it more emotional or impressive, but in the end, his stress hindered his performance. So, we have to let Barcode calm down and relax himself. I used to be like him, so I understand that he needs some time privately to refocus and pull himself back to the role. If we insist on continuing rolling, it will be no use because his mind is not concentrated or at the right stage yet. So, just wait for him a little. He will be back and do this even better than before. This is not some truck ad, but it’s a promotional ad for Barcode.
Barcode (6:16) When I went for singing lessons, it was the first day for KinnPorsche, going for lessons. And I saw cats, there were so many of them, I was shocked. I was like "what's that smell?", there was a strong stench of the cat feces.
Jeff: Hey, my house!
Barcode: The place reeked, but I guess cat owners all love their cats too much. But P'Jeff has not met my cat yet
Q (14:07 DeLing magazine interview): The most touching thing the other person has done for you?
Barcode: For me, it's when P'jeff bought me a guitar, I was very touched. So it was hard to press down on my guitar, and I kept complaining about it. One day out of the blue P'Jeff called and said "There's a guitar coming your way", unbelievable. I was so touched and after getting it I played it all day and night, I didn't sleep and I felt so thankful.
Jeff: I felt when I first saw Barcode audition with his guitar, I thought Barcode was more than that. I felt he should have an instrument that matched his voice, so I bought him one.
Barcode (7:57): No, you take care of me, usually P'Jeff is the one taking care of me because at first, I didn't know anything. P'Jeff is weird too, but he's the closest to me and takes care of me more than other people. He has to help me get use to the environment we're in.
