KinnPorsche

KinnPorsche opens on a man doing a job he is too good at. Porsche Pachara Kittisawasd (Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat) works behind a bar and picks up whatever else pays, because his parents are dead, the family money is gone, and his younger brother Porchay still has school fees. When a fight breaks out around him one night he ends the fight, and the wrong person is watching.

That person is Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun (Mile Phakphum Romsaithong), the second son of a mafia family that runs a large part of the country and is currently losing a war it will not admit to. Kinn is being hunted. He needs someone who can fight and who owes nothing to anyone already inside the organisation, and he decides that Porsche is that person. The offer is a bodyguard's contract. The pressure behind the offer is not subtle, and Porsche takes the job because refusing turns out to cost more than accepting.

What follows is a story about a household rather than a couple. Kinn has two brothers: Tankhun (Thanayut Thakoonauttaya), who has not left the upper floor of the compound in years, and Kim (Jeff Satur), who has built a second life as a musician and would rather the family did not find out. Their cousin Vegas (Wichapas Sumettikul) runs the minor branch of the family and has spent his life being told he is the minor branch, which is the sort of grievance that eventually costs somebody something. Vegas circles Pete (Jakapan Puttha), one of Kinn's own bodyguards, and that thread runs the length of the series alongside the main one.

The series is a fourteen-episode crime drama that happens to have a romance at its centre, rather than a romance with crime as decoration. It has fights that take real screen time, a family whose money has a source the script is willing to name, and a central relationship built on an imbalance of power that the story keeps returning to instead of resolving early. Produced by Be On Cloud as the studio's first release, it aired weekly on One 31 from April to July 2022 and streamed internationally on iQIYI, where an extended edition was released alongside the broadcast cut.
