MileApo
The MileApo pairing was created by casting rather than by a studio’s existing roster. When Be On Cloud assembled KinnPorsche as its first production, it put together two actors who had not worked together on a scripted project before and who had arrived in the industry by different routes. Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat had spent five years at Channel 3, with eight television credits between 2015 and 2018. Mile Phakphum Romsaithong had two credits, in 2016 and 2017, and then a four-year gap in his filmography.
Both are separately credited in the 2021 programmes Sound Check and If The World Doesn’t Have GPS, but their first scripted work together is KinnPorsche, which premiered on April 2, 2022. They played Kinn and Porsche across all fourteen episodes. The partnership continued in the 2023 period film ManSuang, where Mile played Chatra and Apo played Khem, and again in Shine in 2025. All three are Be On Cloud productions, so the pairing has stayed inside a single studio for its whole life, which is unusual.
KinnPorsche is where the pairing’s crime-plot romance began.
KinnPorsche ran for fourteen episodes of 56 minutes from Be On Cloud in 2022. It aired on One 31 and streamed on iQIYI and U-NEXT. Its genres run from action, crime, mafia, bodyguard and thriller to romance, slow burn and family saga.
The romance is built inside a crime plot rather than beside one.
<p>What the pairing is built on in <em>KinnPorsche</em> is an imbalance rather than a symmetry. Kinn employs Porsche; the contract is the reason they are in a room together, and the series keeps that fact live instead of dissolving it once the romance starts. Mile plays Kinn as controlled and watchful, someone whose authority is the thing he hides behind. Apo plays Porsche as physical and quick, a man who talks his way through situations Kinn would rather solve with silence. The friction between those two registers is the pairing's actual engine.</p><p><em>ManSuang</em> moved them into a period court setting and separated them for much of its running time, which showed how much of the 2022 dynamic depended on proximity. <em>Shine</em> in 2025 put them back in a contemporary register. Across all three the studio has promoted them under the MileApo name, and the awards have followed the pair rather than the individuals: GQ Thailand named them Breakthrough Actors of 2022 jointly, not separately.</p>
