Yep, we have to wait for Ep10. But, for this episode 9, this is what I see. I look forward to better plot unraveling next episode.

It's fun, but it's more frustrating for me. Maybe it's my bias. I lam a sucker for highly intelligent protagonists and villains. I always forget that KP is a story about real, fully-functioning humans who live their lives driven by their desires, rather than by their logical inclinations. It's good to be reminded by that and enjoy the beauty of the series this way.

Am fine! :) You?

I do like a nice argument. I don't mind differing opinions from mine. I do welcome them. :) You're right, they both need to communicate. They never seriously collaborated as a team before (on equal terms). They are always on Boss/Bodyguard relationship. Unfortunately, they are on the stage of seamlessly communicating when their dicks are involved, and so out of sync, otherwise. I am sure they will get better in the future.
Them, simply looking out for each other (in their own ineffective way), which, you correctly pointed out, created the disaster of ep9. The beauty of this episode is the insidious way the threat was introduced. It was a mind game, an attack on emotions and on the psyche. Especially on Kinn's and Porsche's part.
Too bad, Kinn's response was not on point. He was simply reactive, like a firefighter desperately putting out fires. in the end, he's at the mercy of the arsonists (Vegas and Tawan). For all its chess analogies, team Korn is losing out, big time. They have to be a few steps ahead of the enemy if they hope to win this game. Unfortunately, I don't see that.

Kinn is, indeed doing all this to fool Tawan. Should Porsche go with Vegas, it is not because he believes Vegas, but rather, Porsche knows that Vegas is the key to all this conspiracy. He needs to spend time with Vegas to gather info. I would like for Kinn to see an empty cell. Let's see what he thinks and what he does about that.

Maybe not confused. Just plain arrogant. Why can't he explain his plans to Porsche? He's either underestimating the latter's intelligence, by thinking that Porsche might give away the whole game, unwittingly. Or overestimating Porsche's intelligence that Porsche "naturally" knows what he's thinking and trusts him completely, and everything will be okay later. Either way, it's a stupid thought process.-- something that deserves a good punch in the face.

I am tired of Kinn. I know he has his reasons for doing what he did, but he's quite self-absorbed and stupid. Vegas and Tawan run circles around him. Seeing how Kinn handles everything poorly, Porsche will, eventually, step up his game and will be the more intelligent, scheming and clear-headed. Does Kinn even deserve Porsche? No. But Porsche chooses him, anyway.
So, Kinn, get your act together and remember that most problems are better solved together than alone. I hope he proves himself next ep.

Apo is such a sensitive, beautiful soul. I am glad he's finally standing up for himself and like more what's he seeing in the mirror now.
Instead of questioning his sexuality, why don't we ask ourselves: Do we like what we see every time we look at the mirror?
Then, I bet, we will get a glimpse of what Apo has gone through, and not ask stupid questions again.

Thanks again for the insights. They were much appreciated. It shows that I have still so much to learn. Again, I apologise for any offense. I truly meant no ill-will.

I need to shut up now?

Thanks for pointing that out. I did sound very discriminatory. Inside my head, technically, I was being very particular. I get very fascinated by someone different from me--in thinking in way of life, in perspectives, in thought process. It may across as offensive or intrusive or invasive. I truly apologise for that. Research does help, but nothing beats a live discussion.

Am curious to know if gays have a subculture? Like subcultures of serious photography enthusiasts or subcultures of engineers who design mini robots and hold fight nights with these robots, something like that.

Labels are quite a tricky topic to handle. Some people gets offended if you do not recognise their "label". Maybe it ha nothing to do with recognising, but may have something to do with respecting the meaning behind the label. On the other hand, some people get offended by it because it denotes segregation. So, I'm sure in one of these days, I will offend someone because I was not sensitive enough about them being gay or I was too sensitive enough about it. Maybe, I will stick to doing the conversations in my head and just treat them as I would treat anyone--normally, with respect.

Very practical. I like that. I was combing through tumblr posts about Porsche coming into terms about him dating a man and how much of a leap of faith, if you will, it is for him. I didn't even realise that. I have gay friends and I thought that perhaps, I have been insensitive to some things. I was told that I could be dense and tactless at times. Thankfully, my friends love me enough to put up with my weird, awkward questions. I think I am learning, might be a little slow, but, I'm getting there.

Thanks. Very well said. I work in a company where almost 80% of people are men. I know and am friends with proud-to-be-out gay men and like you said, they are like everyone else. Like Kinn and Porsche, men who are in love who do not even register in my radar as gays.
Maybe diversity is the same as in any tribe., like preferences or inclinations --they are what make us unique and fascinating. Thanks for insights.

Yeah, exactly my feeling.

I have not noticed, my loss, apparently. I'd be curious to learn about those. Where do I learn about those? Books (prose) can only do so much, and possibly the most realistic ones are not even in the mainstream. Do you have recommendations? P*orn sites, I often do away because of virus prevalence. So, I am quite ignorant. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I guess the production did a good job on that aspect. It helps that both men are very masculine, very comfortable in their masculinity and the physical expression of their love.

Thanks. I felt that way, too.
