KIM, KIMHAN THEERAPAYANKUL IS MOST DANGEROUSLY MANIPULATIVE AND VIOLENT CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE SERIES.
I really don't think it needs to be explained anymore but I just need to get these words out of my mind.
Firstly, in episode 11 we get to see Kimlock Holmes in proper action, when he goes to that ex police officer to take information. The way he had completely known how that person would have and make excuses, and had gone with complete preparations. It took him one sentence to get the information out of someone who has been continuing his act of Alzheimer’s for years now. And mind you, Kim did it in the most non-violent way.
Tumblr media
Also to be noted is his smile while talking to the man, slowly explaining that he knew everything about his daughter and the arrangement. His tone of voice is also something worth a mention: the way it's slow and calculative almost. Now if that’s not master manipulation then I don’t know what is.
Unlike Vegas who usually takes the pretence of love and care to manipulate people into working for him, Kim just simply uses his brain and words. Now some might say “well, he did use love to manipulate Chay into giving information”, NO HE DID NOT! But that’s for later, not relevant in here.
Secondly, and possibly the most important thing about Kim, HE IS NOT FAZED BY EMOTIONS. He is very good in controlling his emotions and brushing them to the side to focus on his main mission. Proof? KIM WITH CHAY. And all the times when he realized his feelings but threw them aside in 0.3 seconds. (Yes, you need to take note of his every expression for that. It’s real quick.)

Kim, in this aspect or maybe in an overall sense, is very much like his father Korn. Feelings and emotions are not something that they use to lead their lives. Now if we compare to Kinn and Vegas, Kinn of course is very much driven by his emotions while Vegas, if not as much as Kinn, is also driven by emotions in his life (note: he would possibly have been a better person if Gun had not treated his like that since childhood). On the other side of this spectrum is Kim, who feels but never ever lets his feelings take over him. Him pushing Chay away is evidence of that.
Now, coming to the violent part.
KIM WENT STRAIGHT UP SHOOTING VEGAS FOR CHAY. Note it that Vegas is his cousin which is probably why Kinn has never shot Vegas even when he wanted to. But for Kim, he had no care about that because here, by hurting Chay, Vegas messed with him. NO ON MESSES WITH KIM AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.
Also, in the last episode where he comes to take Chay, the way he shuts down that guy with just his eyes and a "don't" possibly explains a lot about him in terms of establishing his authority. (The guy might not be as big as the mafias but he's a drug dealer, he has his fair share of violence and danger and is not extremely easy to back down)
Tumblr media
Kim in no way holds back when he is angry or when his violent side comes out. He doesn't care who's in front of him.
P.S. I just realised the two times Kim had gone feral were both for his love everyone say thank you chay. But the point of him not being driven by feelings still stands. This is him being protective of someone in his life, who matters to him, but in no one is his feelings for this person affects his decisions in that whole murder mystery thing, which is the main focus in his life right now.
I guess that's all I have to say for now. Hope this makes sense.

KinnPorsche Rewatch 2023
Reminder: as we go into heavier topics in KP (dub-con/non-con, toxic behaviors, etc.), I will not be doing deep dives. I’m planning on taking this just below surface value as these are literally thoughts I have in the moment as I’m watching. Thank you.
Side Story Random Thoughts
Tankhun is so dramatic here. Fake crying and the whole time giving side eye to P like "he's really buying this?"
Why is this hospital so fancy though? K is sleeping in a queen size bed for goodness sake.
Ah yes, Vegas. Here to stir shit up.
I'm on vacation he says. I'm gonna sleep alone he says. Liar. Scared of fake ghosts (actually probably not fake, most hospitals are haunted for obvious reasons).
K, I think it might be slightly obvious that P is going to stay by your side. Come on now. But thanks for giving him a phone so he can talk to Chay at least. Damn.
Sweet little ending with a cuddle ❤
Episode 7 Random Thoughts
Iconic Pete opening.
The lighting in this episode is so pretty.
Porsche and Big really just focus on a guy with an earbud... Meanwhile, another guy just strolls up with a damn grenade. Honestly.
I love how all the people there are causing a ruckus because there's a grenade up for grabs but no one fucking leaves?? They just sit there and watch??? What are y'all doing?
I dunno, beating someone into a confession probably would be difficult if the person is particularly tight lipped. But Vegas walking over with a torture case? Idk, I think I'd rather talk than be tortured...
The look that Pete gives Vegas though. Somewhat intrigued, it seems.
Did he pull out a tooth?? What is that?
Gun always trying to out wit and out maneuver his brother. He has one hell of a complex... And gave his sons a complex. And abused them. And he has too many cravats.
The red velvet shirt though.
I actually really enjoy this scene where we see how differently the minor family operates. People greeting with respect as they walk by, but they're more relaxed than the main family's people are.
Vegas walking in and out of the shadows, the lighting in general.. It's... Telling in a way. Of what kind of character Vegas puts forth for his people but also of the darkness dwelling within.
I feel like for how many people most likely live in that complex, they should have like three of those long tables set up.
Typical teenage boy with a messy room but it's just the house that's messy.
Why is K still on a saline drip at home? How long has it been since he got shot?
"But Daddy I love him!!" Honestly though, P makes K such a better person overall. Not just for their employees, but for himself. K doesn't necessarily need to be cruel to be an effective leader. I still hold that K was the worst thing to happen to P though, it turned him into someone that the old P would have hated.
Back to the single seat on the Panigale.
Vegas is more like a dad to Macau than Gun is.
Chay is all embarrassed about his room, like no my crush cannot go in there because he'll see my little shrine.
I love how easy going Kim seems to be around Chay. Compared to how we know he can be. Jeff did such a good job with him.
And then the closeup where we see the friendly demeanor drop and he goes straight back into nosy mode and walls go back up.
And then when Chay comes back, those walls come down a bit again and Kim's like damn, this boy is getting to me. I must get him to admit his crush.
It's because he's jealous, P. Always because he's jealous. K is so bad at communication and trusting P 🥴 get your shit together.
That shit eating smirk on Vegas's face. So good at sowing little seeds of distrust.
My boy Tay coming in with the best advice. And the best style.
How long has that body been there though?
Pete's out here doing the most.
I actually love that K comes to see P and gives him the lucky gun to hold onto. Nice symbolism.
"Let me show you your product." Guns ablaze. God this scene is well done. Porsche and Vegas work together surprisingly well for gun fights.
I think I've played too much Assassin's Creed, I always want to hear requiescat in pace vs reposa in pace.
The party is so well lit. All these lighting differences are so pretty.
Then Vegas trying to get Porsche to stay on with him, telling him what he thinks P wants to hear bc he's a stalker ass.
Porsche is visibly uncomfortable around Vegas in the bathroom scene. Then during the kiss pushes him away... Because he only loves Kinn.
Then Porsche hits Kinn where it hurts: I know about your ex, but only vaguely.
So hurtful, that slap was well deserved.
"I shouldn't have loved a shitty guy like you." He was trying to hit K where it hurt. And finally speaking the words that K needed to hear.
I do like how P takes back control during the NC scene. Doing sexy time on his own terms this time.
The chemistry is out of fucking control.
Tumblr media
Consistently, the best NC scene of the series in this episode, in my humble opinion. Plus growing (my faves) KimChay's relationship :')
Episode 8 next!
