Couldn’t see the hype but it was a good watch
First, I wish MDL had a ranking for cinematography because this series is a 10/10.
However, plot-wise was where it fell for me. Personally, the plot was not really introduced or that apparent until episode 4 or maybe it was episode 6, however, even when it was introduced it did not give you enough screen time for the potential characters that could be the mole. The two most suspicious characters were introduced but then somewhat dropped and then didn’t resurface until the end when the audience needed to learn of who the mole/spy was. But as a viewer, they didn’t give us enough to try and be like, “omg it can be him because of this or that, etc”. I am aware that there is a novel but as someone that did not read the novel, I hoped they would still give us something for us to try and piece the clues together.
Most of the series was explicit content, which is not bad (cause it was enjoyable to watch) but I wished that they also focused on the plot along with it. If you are mostly watching for the explicit content then it's great in that sense. Now, I am not saying there is no plot at all because there is but it was just thrown in at the end, indicating that there is or could be a season 2 because so many questions were left unanswered such as: did Korn do all this to have the absolute power since he can now easily manipulate Porsche, head of the minor family? What was the huge secret that Uncle Thee knew? because he obviously hated Korn more than Gun and was adamant about it until he was killed. Who killed him? Did Porsche really just forget his uncle’s warning and accept the fact that he is now head of the second mafia family? So many questions and they had 14 episodes to address them or at least some.
I noticed that there was some frustration with Kim and Chay’s progression. I did not mind it because, as discussed with a friend, the chemistry was there but they were not the main focus of the series like KinnPorsche or VegasPete. Also, had to keep in mind that Chay fell in love with his idol and Kim’s approach towards Chay was not due to interest but for gathering information. It makes sense that they were introduced now if they truly are planning a season 2 of KP. I sat down here and thought about whether I would rewatch this series and I can honestly say that I will probably rewatch some scenes but I would not rewatch this entire series .
The instrumental of the song was truly beautiful in the series and I can listen to that all day.
If there is a season 2 of KP I would watch but mostly to get clarification on a lot of the plot holes and questions they left unanswered in season 1. I also felt like a lot of the hype on this was because of the explicit content and the fact that it was a Mafia setting rather than the typical high school or office setting we normally get.
