10/10 would 100% recommend bro this was my first BL and I love it with all my heart
Okay, maybe I'm crazy for saying this but I shipped VegasPete throughout the entire show... Like, you know in either the first episode or just somewhere near the very beginning when Vegas quite CLEARLY winked at Porsche but Porsche turned to Pete and said it was aimed at him, Pete looked so smug and it was so cute. It was so subtle but it just made me hope for something to happen between them two. And then, all those times when Vegas caught Pete stalking him, just confirmed what I thought. To be honest, usually I google what happens in a show because I want to know what I'm setting myself up for, especially if it has a sad ending because I just can't deal, but for KinnPorsche, I didn't google anything. I felt like if I found out VegasPete didn't end up together I'd cry myself to sleep. And, yes, I did cry for an hour and 17 minutes straight watching those VegasPete scenes, but it was worth it for the resolution. I lowkey feel so bad for the friend I spammed with 479 messages on the entire storyline of KinnPorsche that day because it was constant floods of messages as I was binging it. I literally finished it in one go and when I looked back on our Discord chats, I literally saw a huge window of time where I didn't send her anything because I was crying too hard. I couldn't even enjoy the KinnPorsche pool NC scene because I could barely see through my tears after witnessing such gut-wrenching acting from Bible and Build. Like, I have no idea how I still shipped Pete with Vegas while I was watching all the torture and I felt so bad for Pete but I couldn't just shake the feeling that something MIGHT happen, and it did. You can't tell me that even when Pete was getting practically obliterated, there was still sexual tension and it was 100% PURPOSEFUL. Don't get me wrong, I did constantly worry that they wouldn't get their happy ending, especially after Vegas got shot (I cried so hard then), but my hoping worked.After yapping about VegasPete so long, I think I should talk about the other side couple. Why did no one tell me I'd love KimPorchay this much? I didn't actually feel this much love towards them as I was watching the show but after finishing it, I somehow became obsessed. I'm so angry they didn't end up together like everyone else, Porchay deserved it the most out of everyone, he was basically the only green flag (apart from maybe Pete, and you can't tell me otherwise). Off topic, why is everyone labelling Pete as a red or yellow flag? He was the victim. And, yes, he went back to Vegas all those times but that doesn't mean he isn't a green flag? If anything, he's an entire forest. He was one of the best bodyguards, so cute and would never betray the people he worked for ever. Even after Vegas hurt him that badly, he still comforted him when he was upset and never did anything to harm anyone else. If you dare try to bring up the fact he shot Vegas, just take into account the fact Vegas literally KILLED Pete, only to bring him back to life again and then torture him more, and the only reason he shot Vegas was to protect him from the other bodyguards and try to prevent him from taking over the main family. He shot him in the shoulder to make sure it wouldn't kill him. That cannot be a red flag. Anyway, back onto KimPorchay. I feel like anyone who resents Kim for leaving didn't understand them at all. Like, okay, I understand where you're coming from but didn't he leave because their relationship would only complicate Porchay's life further? His older brother was already the leader of a mafia family and he didn't want to put him in any more danger or bring him any closer to the centre of it because it would literally implicate him further? He wanted to give Porchay as good a life as he could, he just didn't understand that leaving wasn't the solution. I don't hate Kim for breaking Porchay's heart, I just wish he would've gone back to him after realising his mistake instead of just sending that song. It was sweet but nowhere near enough to make Porchay realise he did actually love him all along. Porchay literally quit his dream, dyed his hair, started drinking and partying and ruining his life all because of Kim and I'll always feel so sad about that. I miss the cute little Porchay from the start of the show. Barcode portrayed him so well though and I'm glad him and Jeff are still in contact. I can't wait for Happy Ending, if it gets released. Hopefully, it's not another Wuju Bakery or I'll cry.

10/10 Would 100% Recommend!!
Okay, so only two episodes have been released so far and I'm dreading the week I'll have to wait for the next one but it's definitely worth it! I've been waiting for this show since it was announced and I can definitely say I'm satisfied with the result. When the first episode came out, I watched it instantly and it was SO GOOD!! Like, I was not expecting to be this invested in the storyline?Yes, we know, Thee was hitting on Aran before, but how've you not realised you're the new target, Peach? He's so clueless. First, it was the peach shaped chocolate, BITTER, exactly how Peach likes it. Then, the bouquet that Thee sent to him with all four seasons of flowers like the four season projects Peach has been requested for. But he gave them both to Aran! And I can't believe Peach would set up a dinner date between Thee and Aran, that was so disappointing for Thee. He was in a mood the entire day, especially when Peach said no to him staying over. He looked like a child throwing a tantrum when he just crossed his arms and got in the car. It was so funny but I was really sad we wouldn't get a scene of them having a sleepover. I'm sure we will at some point, though. That would be cute.
Anyway, I've been rewatching these two episodes so many times waiting for number three, and it's been less than a day since the last one came out... I love this show so much and I can't wait for it to be completed!! (But also, I bet I'll be super sad when it is.)
