Utterly Beautiful.
Watched it yesterday. It's one of the greatest films in my recent memory.Everything in this film is so relatable and is very real. I cried and I couldn't stop myself from tearing up from the first 30 minutes of the movies until the very end. The message is so strong and Bilkin, Grandma and the rest of the casts just did something we call 'Magical' in the world of the acting.
Cinematography is also on point. It looked real, but also artistic and very cinematic. This will resonate in every viewer hearts for so long and the tearing effect will stay hours after finished the film.
It's not often that the people in the whole theater cried and sobbed their hearts out like this. One of a very magical moment for the whole 2 hours.

Outstanding!
I didn't expect this when I first signed up for KinnPorsche since the novel is way off balanced for me. However, the series takes it own way of executing everything and is awesome in all level! Shit, I feel all characters even Erika. This must be the most satisfied episode Penultimate and Finale in any series I've watched in my recent memory! Live on par with BBS and The Severance level!I love how they crafted Kinn to be more human than in the novel. I love how they made me feel for the character that I didn't like at all like Vegas and the relationship that I kept on screaming NOOOOOO between Vegas and Pete. I love how they don't make Porsche's attitude a toxic one. I love Tankhun for just being Tankhun which is very weird since I thought I would be annoyed by this character so much when he first appeared. I love how they give Kim justice on showing his skill as one of the three mafia family new generation members. I just love Erika without having to give a freaking damn reason! And yes, I love every characters, main or sides (except you know who). They all have such an amazing chemistry and backup stories! I loved and enjoyed every episode as in EVERY! However, if I have to vote for my top 3, it's EP6, EP13 and EP14.
In EP6 - I have no idea how could they make a 2 men stand up show become very much addicted, moved and touched at the same time without getting bored AT ALL! Their chemistry is off the chart. The director could really use this single episode opportunity to explore the personality of Kinn and Porsche amazingly and took us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Mile and Apo portrayed Kinn and Porsche in a way that I don't feel like acting but 'being' is the word that is right for them.
In EP13 - I couldn't stop thinking of how could they do this. Previously, I felt no regret or pity for Vegas at all. I'd never rooted for Vegas and Pete relationship at all and I couldn't see myself crying for Vegas or VegasPete relationship like ever! There was no slightly sign that they would make me cry 'til I lost my breath like this. The 'Contradiction Song' is so beautifully written in both lyrics and melody. I ended up crying my shit off for Vegas and Pete in a way that I wouldn't expect before. Bible and Build performance in that scene alone is an award tier and no one can talk me out from that idea.
The graveyard confession scene is also very touching and beautiful. The interaction between Kinn and Porsche and the way that we all know Porsche hid some major things from Kinn that could lead to trust issue is so real. When Apo changed his facial expression after Mile talked the line about trust, I couldn't rest easy from there on. And the ending, OMG! my worst fear ever is the bloodline issue. I was not in the right state of mind to take that troll anymore.
EP14 - My gosh!! This is how you end the series with a bang. This is a season Finale that is very rare to see. Before KinnPorsche, I felt satisfied by the ending of Apple TV+ Original 'Severance' as it kept me on edge and I thought for a second that this would be unbeatable for long. How I was wrong about that, few months later and I found KinnPorsche Finale that kept me on edge with twisted and actions and emotion until the real final second of the episode. The confusion created in the Finale is legit and is a leading to Season 2. However, they did really close all important issues that they started in Season 1 within the Finale so I don't feel like being left in the middle of the ocean like most of the series I've watched.
The action sequences are executed very well. I like how they could bring all the characters together in this madness of season finale. They didn't leave anyone behind, not even Erika. I love how they created the fight style that is very suitable for Tankhun and Arm. It's so believable and satisfying. I love how they gave Kim a solo fight scene that is so kick ass cool!! OMG!!! I freaking love everything in the Season Finale.
All in all, 9.5/10. I don't say it's perfect but the way it's being executed make me forget about every flaw here and there in the 14 episodes long series. I love it at maximum.
