Like literally peeling an unsensored Japanese manga BL off it's pages.

Porsche's acting was incredible, I liked his little brother, Kim was good (his voice and storyline at least. Not sure about that acting). But They could have 1) not had rape, though surprisingly they almost admitted it was rape. 2) improved Vegas and Pete's storyline to be more clear (oh, Vegas's acting (and bi-lingual-ness) was also incredible). I think they could have added a couple lines that explained that Vegas loved Pete because he really saw him and liked him for who he was, both with and without the trappings that came with being part of the minor family (dude, you can actually be someone now that you're OUT of the minor family, you're free Vegas (facepalm)), and Pete, I think ... well I'm out of my depths, but I think Vegas opened him up to his sub/kink desires and let him embrace them and not be disgusted with himself for it. But without this context, it's kinda sick... and falls flat. With Porsche/Kinn they had such the perfect opportunity to break out of the uke/seme, top/bottom, male/female stereotypes/roles, I would have loved to see Porsche top at least once. And not for titillation, but because I came here (to a BL) to NOT see romantic and sexual relationships defined by gender roles, nay, I wanted to see them FREE of gender roles. How can I describe this. I want to see the potential of society to dismiss, nay, demolish the barriers and stigmatism that uses gender as an excuse to say women are lesser, emotionally vulnerable, subservient, and dependent, and men must be powerful and emotionless and violent. You give us a show that tells us gender doesn't matter in love, but assigning "gender roles" says that gender stereotypes do matter, that they must be maintained. It's like they're saying sexual and romantic freedom is free... but only in fiction because you have to stick to your place in your gender role. Completely reversing every freedom viewers often look for in these shows. Straight women look for sex without gender roles and a place where they can play out their desires without stigma. And queer people look for queerness. So stop assigning gender roles. Nothing but straight men are looking for that, and if they're watching this, they're hopefully questioning gender roles and sexuality as we speak. And not hate-watching something. Like what is that.

Thai mafia movie with !blood! And !fight! And adult scenes

This series is very great i watched it the first time and it started to be on air at first i wasn't really into it but after all the episodes were done airing i rewatched it , i enjoyed it veryyyy much !
When you're a thai BL fan/lover this if for you, if you love hot and spicy scenes its also for you and if you're a lover of fight with guns! The series can be violent because of the fight and and blood etc so if your young i don't recommend it for you mostly because of the +18/21 scenes . If you're older i recommend it ! Its a awesome and very realistic series that has a lot of competence and work in it!! If you still didn't watch it go for it!!!

For me the best BL Drama

This series offers everything you could wish for. 1. a great interesting story 2. lots of action 3. love 4. of course drama 5. great intimate scenes 6. interesting characters. All the episodes are exciting, not too long and you definitely won't get bored. You get that “just one more episode” feeling. The music was well chosen. I have re-watched Kinnporsche so many times. I can only recommend it to everyone. It’s not a waste of time. Look at it. My TOP 1 when it comes to BL Dramas. It‘s a 10/10.

ITS GOOD

So obvi we've all been waiting for this series for a very long time and I think it was definitely worth the hype!
First, the cast was very well chosen! The complex character of Vegas was done perfectly because of Bible. I don't think anyone else could've acted this role as well as him. The rest of the cast also acted very well, especially Apo! The chemistry between each couple was perfect! Mile & Apo were an amazing pair and acted so well as Kinn & Porsche. and OF COURSE Bible & Build did SOOOO GOOD as Vegas & Pete, these roles were def made for them. LOL and I found Barcode's acting to be very endearing and cute haha. With Jeff, he's obvi a good actor but his character just didn't do it for me.
And lets give a huge round of applause to Tong, who played Tankhun. His character was one of my favorites!!!
And lemme just say I really admire all the actors for how much dedication and time they put into their roles. You can really tell that the actors became one with their characters and worked so hard to make this show the best it could be :)) sooooo honestly 10/10 for the cast and overall acting.

As for plot, there are some things I wish were different in terms of both pacing and reasoning. For example, what was Kim's purpose for the entire season? He was investigating lots of stuff but there really wasn't much of a conclusion or impact (?) I feel like his entire role was very BLAND to me. It's like the only thing he did the entire series was break Chay's heart :/
And I also wish the whole VegasPete arc was introduced a bit earlier, even just a few scenes would've helped. To me, their story felt very rushed and crowded in the last few episodes.
There are also many questions I have that still aren't answered, like why did this Ken even betray the family??? And how is Tawan even alive in the first place???? There were also lots of scenes that I felt like were a bit dragged and unnecessary.
I also think there were several plot holes. The plot and writing itself could've had SO MUCH MORE DEPTH! and tell me why there were sooooo many characters but it felt like they weren't even needed. For example, Ta! I feel like the writers could've made more use of his character! For example, showing us the relationship of Vegas and Ta as brothers, which would let us see more of Vegas's compassionate side. And on that note, WHY is there barely any scenes of the 3 major family brothers interacting!! They sat together one time during the entire series. I feel like It would've been so interesting to see their dynamics as brothers and watch them interact & work together. Or at least give us reasoning as to why Kim doesn't even speak a word to Kinn the entire show. ALSO Tay & Time!!! They were introduced but barely had any screentime so we were left with nothing in regards to their story :((
anyways.... now on to the positive side :

Even with all the plot issues, I still did like the show! I feel like overall it's VERY HARD to find such a high-production and mature BL so I'm very happy and satisfied with what KinnPorsche did :D Of course it could've been better, but I still enjoyed it for what it was and I def anticipated each episode as it was airing!
ALSOOO ----- The directors did an amazing job with their shots, some scenes were just BEAUTIFUL!!! and I LOVED the coloring that was associated with specific scenes and characters.
As for the music, MY BOY JEFF REALLY HIT IT WITH THE ONE!!! His song "Why dont you stay" was a perfect addition to this story and the lyrics explain exactly how the characters feel which i LOVEEEEE. The intro song "Freefall" for this series is also super good and goes very well with the theme !

To CONCLUDE: my overall feelings with the show
As a watcher, you do get super attached to these characters and even tho some of their decisions are questionable, you really feel for them & root for them. All of the relationships in this show are problematic in some shape or form but I think that's to be expected because of how they all grew up. It is the mafia world afterall~~ That being said, this series highlights how our childhood & relationship with parents can affect the way we grow up & treat those around us. And I appreciate that this series takes us through each character's trauma and gives us background as to why they act a certain way. I also like that many of the characters had good character development, whether it be in their relationship or within themself.
And as a plus, I think this series did a very good job in making us sympathize with even the most morally WRONG characters so I applaud them for that! Who would've thought I'd go from hating Vegas to loving him lol
And DONT WORRY------> Even with all the serious scenes throughout the series, there are still so many laughs & funny moments happening. Plus several cute scenes of our KinnPorsche couple which I loved to see :D
So yeaaa I really do recommend everyone to watch this series, especially if you're a fan of BL. It's probably one of the best BL I've ever watched in terms of production and acting :)) so do give it a watch !

Amazing changes for the BL genre, but still lots of things to work on.

Short review:

What I liked:
❣️ No heteronormativity!
❣️ No coming out scenes or dramatically figuring out your sexuality bc the same gender kissed you.
❣️ Barely any toxic masculinity. Men cried together without it being awkward or seen as weak.
❣️ The chemistry of the actors and the acting generally!
❣️ The cinematography. Some really nice shots there, especially the slow-mo scenes during fights.
❣️ Tankhun. He’s my number #1 favorite character!

What I disliked:
😬 The imbalance of the couples (top/bottom).
😬 KinnPorsche’s first times. Porsche basically always being drunk/high.
😬 The 2nd half of the series. Too many lies.
😬 PeteVegas ship. Basically Stockholm syndrome. Was very uncomfortable to watch, especially Pete, not able to let go of Vegas.
😬 Certain characters, who deserved to die, but didn’t.
😬 The whole thing with Porsche’s mother. Not just the lies, but also the way she was treated. Like a doll.
😬 Porsche’s extreme stupidity at the beginning. It was mostly for comedic relief, but at some point not funny anymore.

~

Long review:

👎 First of all, the ending.
Nope, nope, nope. Don't like it. Dude gets to walk after having lied to literally everyone, while so many other pople die. Fair, no one's really good in Mafia and everyone of them deserved it, but the one who get to live, was literally the worst of them all. Even worse is that he got forgiven by everyone he lied to at the end. Lies that stretched throughout multiple episodes and created lots of drama.

👎 Imbalance:
I also really really didn’t like the imbalance of Porsche and Kinn.
It was fine at the beginning, Porsche was his bodyguard, so of course he wouldn’t be treated like an equal. But when Porsche said, at the end, “my life is yours”? Which, yes, was a parallel to the first episode, but, really? If Kinn at least had said it back, okay, that would’ve been great. But he didn’t. He just replied “I’ll treasure it the most”. Even after both being heads of the family and basically announcing they’re gonna marry, Porsche is still a level below him.
I just hate that in relationships. I’m all about balance and equality.

👎 2nd half
— Honestly, the first half was really good. I had so many butterflies watching this. But the second half... when it was all about the lies, over and over again; and typical jealousy drama with the couples... ugh, no. It stretched so long, always going in cycles, and not really that enjoyable to watch anymore.
— Especially the new ship, PeteVegas. Literally Stockholm syndrome. Pete was tortured so many times by Vegas, bled so much. And Vegas was just doing it for fun and emotional projection. Because his dad doesn’t respect him, blah blah. Sure, they had their emotional moments where they just talked, got to know each other, and that’s what trigged the Stockholm syndrome in Pete, probably. Him feeling sympathetic for Vegas, but knowing he didn’t enjoy the sex. He wants to leave, but also feels bad for Vegas. Really got uncomfortable.
— It did get emotional pretty often, though, and I often had to pause and reflect on things that were said. Mostly because it fits in my current life and simply made me think about certain things. That’s one thing I do love of the 2nd half tho. The slowness. The reflecting and thought-provoking dialogues/monologues.
— But that, of course, wasn’t the main goal of the series. It’s a BL, and while the actors were really great, the 2nd half just annoyed me in that regards. So much imbalance, and injustice, and deadly cycles... too much of it.

👎 Non-consensual
— KinnPorsche reminds a bit of TharnType. While KP is healthier than TT, the characters are similar tho, especially Kinn and Tharn. Both tops, of course.
— I really hate these words. Top and bottom. I hate it so much. When can we finally get a BL series with a couples who are both switches??
“Bros”, the Movie, did that. It was beautiful.
Why do people like the “top and bottom” roles so much?? That’s so disgustingly hetero.
— They’re also, kind of, based on rape. Porsche was drunk the first time they kissed and didn’t remember until like 2 days afterwards. He didn’t push him back and also wasn’t confused or angry about it, but yk, drunks can’t really give consent. But, okay, it was just a kiss anyway.
When they had their first time though, Porsche was drugged. Really drugged. He was totally high.
Well... it’s not like Kinn forced himself on Porsche or anything. Quite the opposite. Porsche initiated all and Kinn was the one who hesitated. But, again, he was totally high and it was his first time with a guy.
So, yea, not rape but also not fully consent. And kinda sad that both their first times were when he was drunk/high.
And the first time they did it (while Porsche wasn’t on the verge of passing out), it was also after he has drunk a lot. (There was consent tho, but not much.)

👍 Apologies/consent
While their first times did start non-consensual, Kinn did apologize for it. Even said if he could turn back time, he wouldn’t do it a 2nd time.
— Which TharnType for example never did. Not once was it acknowledged in the other series that Tharn half-raped Type.
— And, when KP did each other the first time (although Porsche was half-drunk, but awake enough to give consent), Kinn did ask, kind of, before opening his trousers. It was more of a nod but clear enough for anyone.
So, yea, that was great.
— After that, there was always consent present. And a lot of apologies for other things.

👍 No homophobia
— What was really great though, is that there was no single mention of homophobia and no coming out scenes. Everyone in the business knows Kinn is gay, and no one makes a comment regarding that. It’s simply normal. It’s not treated as special and no one even looks differently when two guys kiss.
— Even though Porsche had only fucked girls so far, he didn’t freak out when he noticed his feelings towards Kinn. He just let it happen. That was refreshing. No 5 episodes wasted for the main character to dramatically figure out his sexuality.
He was just like, “oh he kissed me... Damn... Well, anyway. I’ve never done it with a guy, but I like it, so let’s just continue”, basically. So, so refreshing!
— But also the side couples. There was never heteronormativity present. When a guy confessed to another guy, they weren’t like “uh? What’re you doing? I’m not gay”, but simply reciprocated it. Or kissed back, without pushing them away. (Well, unless they generally weren’t in the mood for kissing, but not because of the gender.)
— Only once a sexuality of a character was mentioned, and that was Kinn, being openly gay. You don’t know the sexuality of any other character.
And that’s beautiful. I’m not a fan of labels anyway, so living in a non-heteronormative and unlabeled world, that’s the goal.

👍 Actors/acting:
— And the actors were great. The chemistry between the couples was intense and fire, but also the chemistry to other people. They all looked like they had fun shooting this.
— It also felt really natural. Not acted. Awkward scenes felt awkward, not because of the acting level, but because it could’ve been a scene from real life, not scripted at all. Like when you dwell in memories and then there’s this random awkward conversation you once had, and you get second-hand embarrassing of yourself.

👎 humor/stupidity:
Another, rather minor thing, I didn’t like or it was just really annoying: Porsche’s stupidity at the beginning. Dude really got no brain, only muscles. Really wondered how tf he’s still alive. Must be his charming aura, otherwise he’d be dead by now.
I get that this was mostly for comedic relief, but at some point it really wasn’t funny anymore. Just stupid. In an annoying way.
— And then they call Tankhun crazy and dumb for being different? That brother may be different, but certainly smarter than Porsche. Which especially got to show around the ending when Tankhun was the only one to notice Pete’s absence being unusual.
— Porsche did have his smart moments tho and by the end also grew some brain cells. Probably from experience in the job. But yea. Empty head mostly. Talks and smiles a little too much.

i feel like the outliar...

i decided to watch this series after seeing it some many times in people's lists of best bl in 2022. and i was pretty disappointed to be honest.

PRODUCTION:
everything look and sounded nice. i actually do wanna applaud the costuming for this series i loved all the outfits of the characters. the action scenes were also a lot of fun to watch it makes me wish we had more.

STORY:
was... all over the place. character motivations seemed to change on a dime and one second its serious drama and the next it sex jokes. i really was about to drop this series because i was midway through and had no idea why i was still watching. also. sexual assault is not hot why are we still doing this in 2022??? also the ending just seemed to throw everything out the window.

CHARACTERS:
porshe and kinn are really the saving grace and the only reason i finished this series. porshe especially was the only character i liked in the beginning. it wasnt till episodes 6&7 where i actually started to enjoy the series (which - since this is a 13 episode show is like midway through). for a show called "kinnporshe" i dont really feel like they took up the space they needed despite being the best out of the couples. and despite that it was still hard for me to get on board due to episode 4!!!!!! again - why are we doing shit like this is 2022. also i do have to say porshe gets flanderized a bit towards the end. i really dont understand his actions and miscommunication troupe always sucks cant people ever come up with anything else to create conflict?

unpopular opinion but i dont like vegaspete. i DID like them. in the BEGINNING before FUCKIN SHIT HIT THE FAN. the fact that so many people like this relationship is not helping me see the good in the world. this is probably the most toxic relationship i have ever seen in a bl. im glad their series is probs being canceled now we do not need more of them.

kim and porchay were absolute messes. they had potential for sure but porchay himself kinda ruins it with how annoying he is and suddenly kim doing a 180 on how he feels about him. like i get the idea and im not sure this is an acting issue or a writing issue or both??

honestly i wouldve liked one of the couples to be kinn's friends instead they were a lot more interesting.

CONCLUSION:
i know im being really negative - there was quite a bit that i liked but i feel like soooo much holds the series back. but idk i really only see people praise this show. and i really just dont get it.

Now I'm ready to freefall

I knew nothing about the novel, didn't see the first trailer, only saw the second one and when I saw the pool scene in the trailer, I was so surprised that there would be an explicit onscreen sex scene like that. It felt like an amazing flex of sexiness, luxury, and audacity. I was definitely wanting to give this series a watch and as it started, I felt like "sexiness, luxury, and audacity" must have been the series' mission statement and I think on those terms KinnPorsche was an absolute success.

During the first half of series, I found myself liking this series and this world more and more. Then learning about the production story and all the starts and stops, I could better appreciate them for rallying and delivering this series. I don't think it's perfect by any means and the plot and pacing and which characters get focus and which didn't often left me wanting more. I feel like another few passes in the writer's room could have helped because sometimes the script/plot felt like it was getting hard carried by the actors and the brazen chemistry of Mile and Apo.

VegasPete, KimChay, TimeTay all were really under utilized in this season, honestly I was very surprised to see Porchay again around episode 3 then I was confused because it seemed like he and Kim were supposed to be the 3rd couple but Porchay and Kim had such little screen time. I think they did really make the best of their screen time and Barcode I think was my biggest acting surprise this season, sometimes the cutesy uwu genki characters are best animated and are very annoying when done in live action but I think Barcode made Porchay a real character and not a caricature and I was really impressed by his acting. I became aware of VegasPete through fans and the hype and when it finally started happening in the season, I wished it started a couple of episodes earlier so I could care and feel not rushed and always thinking "3 episodes left, 2 episodes, last episode coming up" during their scenes, similar to KimChay but they did start earlier but disappeared more. And TimeTay... I mean they were there like every 4/5 episodes and then would also disappear.

Also, it was very weird that Kim was never in a scene with Kinn until the last episode. That always struck me as odd.
But anyway, those are mild quibbles at best.

I did look forward to every episode of KinnPorsche and I think the season peaked around episodes 6/7 but the hype, the fan community, and the sexiness kept me engaged and happy as a show watcher. I am very much looking forward to the next season. I think the KinnPorsche actors have picked up the torch from MaxTul for highest heat and I am glad that ceiling is getting raised.

KinnPorsche was raunchy, sexy, funny, absurd, and just enjoyable. Not perfect but I mostly didn't care.
Also the theme songs are bangers and I love the different instrumental remixes of them.

A flawed but fun camp experience

Not a long review. Some of the reviews are very... weird so I felt like I needed to add my own two sense.

Overall worth a watch especially if you have watched BL shows. it has some of the same flaws and subverts some others.

The usual BL suspension of reality needs to be used to start.
The shows casting is fun, it's refreshing to have adult men be sexually active and not just allude to it and act like demure and nearly prudish at the thought. I understand these shows are primarily made for women and not usually gay men, but the characters here avoided that a bit.

It's also incredibly refreshing to dodge high school/ college being the main setting.

The main flaw of the series is that some plot and pacing. There are absolutely some plots and subplots that are dropped, or underdeveloped. At times it can come off as a bit soap opera-ish. Id say the series would feel more solid with some minor early episode plots reduced in time and some character motives looked at.
The show has a great run and fumbles a little bit on the ending and feels like it could have done with an episode more to give some plot threads more time to resonate.

I'd absolutely recommend watching it if you're on the fence. It's a strong show.

Successful yet conflicting

KP is probably one of the most successful BL series of the year 2022, or might I say, in the history of Thai BLs. I think 10 percent of the success belongs to that fateful 9-minute trailer the previous production company released one fateful day in 2020. I still remember all the clips and FMVs that circulated at the speed of light and the hype that came with it.

I personally feel conflicted. As much as I loved it, I feel guilty to admit that there were parts that simply did not live up to my expectations. (I have read the novel, so I might be a little biased towards one side or the other at times)

Story 10/10

A full rating because of the unique premise of the series. A mafia romance. A story that is bound to have action-packed scenes, angst, mystery, betrayals, and tragedy. It's never been done before. Some BLs have come close to this (HIStory), but none have carried it out with such perfection. I also applaud BOC for getting rid of some of the darker and inappropriate scenes that the novel had and watered them down for television otherwise, the pairings simply would not have worked.

Acting 8.5/10

However, I was disappointed by how kinn turned out. He simply lacked the edge that should have set him apart as the main family head. In the beginning, I was completely taken by his ice-cold and calculative personality. I expected more of that. Somehow love turned his brain mushy, unfortunately. We were shown his soft side and how he never wanted to be a part of this, yet I can't help but feel like they should have let kinn bring out his dominant boss personality more. It was a slight letdown.
I know I'm going to be a villain when I say this, but I simply did not feel anything when Porschay was on-screen during the beginning episodes. Yes, I'm keeping in mind that Barcode is a rookie. He deserves a 10/10 for doing so well during the ending episodes. The way he portrays his heartbreak and his confusion. in ep 14 brought me to TEARS. I'm only sad that I couldn't really connect to his character when he was in love (that sweet 10 minutes when he was lying down with Kim and told him he loved him). I've seen all the BTS and acknowledge his effort and talent. He truly grew through the series. Tong's physical comedy was *chef's kiss* and Apo was just absolutely loveable as Porsche.

Cast 10/10

The actors were perfectly cast for their respective roles. Their chemistry was ultimate perfection, and I especially have to give kudos to Bible and Build. They did an AMAZING job. Apo and Mile truly put their heart and soul into their NC scenes, and VegasPete relationship was beautifully portrayed. I think their pairing was truly a masterpiece. Jeff performed extraordinarily well, ESPECIALLY in the action scenes. He was the main attraction during the finale and left me speechless.

Music 10/10

The instrumental of Freefall brought me to tears, and Why don't you stay is a masterpiece. Jeff's voice is heavenly. I have been obsessed with these two since I heard them.

All the action and comedy scenes were vibrant and enjoyable. The subtle clues and microexpressions brought the series to life. The gradients used during the VP scenes were marvelous and were treats for us fans to analyze.

Overall 9/10

I'm eager to see where the stories might go if there is an S2. Unfortunately, there were a lot of strings left untied, which left me feeling unsatisfied. I think what everyone has to keep in mind is that KP (as told by the cast), is more of a BL romance with action rather than an action series with a BL romance. It is more lighthearted and comedic than expected but is all the more appreciated because of it.

Well, that was convenient

I swear I could feel my body mass decrease as I lost a considerable quantity of braincells while watching this dumpster fire. Everything was going pretty fine till episode 8—handsome guy bumps into handsome guy, saves aforementioned h.g. from goons, who eventually turns out to be the second son and leader of the "major family" that assumingly has a major hand in all the corruption and backdoor dealings in Thailand. Hot handsome guy wants funny handsome guy to be his bodyguard, due to certain mysterious orders from his father, but at some point banging became more fun.

Up till the halfway mark I wasn't really questioning things, I took everything they gave: the funny moments, the cute moments and the (generously sprinkled) sexy moments. I mean we got such a cute date too! And we got another brooding handsome guy, the elder son and head of the minor family, to stand by as the love triangle and contrived jealousy moments which eventually lead to some more banging.

But then Kinnporsche did its ultimate mistake. If it had only continued the next six episodes as it had in the first eight, I would've given it a 7 (+0.5 for Tankhun), labelled it "boring, but sexy" and called it a day. BUT NO! Kinnporsche had to bring in a plot!

Big mistake.

We now get to see all sorts of mysterious "Russians" and "yakuzas" and "deals" getting mentioned. We have the sudden *whisper* weakening of the major family. A conspiracy of the minor family! Surely not! And this is where it falls apart, because it becomes markedly more pronounced that this story isn't going anywhere.

To be fair, I like Kinn and Porsche’s relationship. We don't really have to deal with the notoriety of the mafia except that Kinn has never in his life been on a date with a cute boy and with Porsche he can be himself, the guy he wants to be, not what he is forced to be. They tried to play the "I don't trust you but I still do" card multiple times, but all grievances are resolved early, mostly leading upto more sexy fanservice.

Despite the lack of chemistry between Kim and Chay, I like their dynamic: the dangerous, loomy third son and his innocent head-over-heels-in-love fan. (Ruined by Chay though, there's a difference in being childish and innocent, too bad writers still can't distinguish it. Even worse that I can't deal with cringey romances).

They should've brought in Vegas and Pete earlier. They brought a lot of steam to an otherwise mundane show, and while Build (Pete) simply cannot cry, they were an entertaining pair to watch. And honestly, in this entire show, these two were the most believable ones. Didn't like the final scene though, Pete was meant to be his "pet" because that's how their dynamic was; they are not a vanilla couple but I guess we have to care for the audience too.

The best part about this story was Porsche and Chay. But somehow the show maker managed to ruin that too because the entirety of episode 13 and final revolved around this blatantly contrived, stupid plot surrounding their mother's death. I can list ten unanswered questions and ten plotholes here (but les not spoil).

Separately taken, the romance, the comedy, and the darker parts of the plot are entertaining, but when put together it's this huge clusterfuck which has been running for fourteen episodes when it could've been condensed to ten. For a story which features at least five sons and two heads of the mafia, it is quite disconnected from the grind. We have massive houses and personally owned sky scrapers and a luxurious lifestyle, but there isn't anything to set it apart from a rich male lead romance except that we do see them pull out the guns once in a while but for the major part, Kinn and his father are both kept very, very clean. If you're afraid to stan a hero with questionable morals then don't be, because the only one getting his hands really dirty is Vegas.

I didn't expect Kinnporsche to go all godfather on me, but what sucks is that it shamelessly borrows from mafia themes to spice up the story. There isn't much violence except when they whip out their guns once in a while and in the VegasPete storyline. In the very last episode there's a sudden burst of bloodshed like a poorly done slasher.

I get that we have to give screentime to Miles and Apo’s abs but some in on the mafia side wouldn't have hurt. In the penultimate episode, all sorts of bizarre plotlines are brought in. The behaviour of the characters, especially Vegas are very inconsistent. The existing storylines were resolved poorly. What KP does get right however is the acting. The actors have done awesome for the most of it especially the mains.

MEANINGFUL

My first and only Thai BL series. This series's more than a BL story, it's about family, trust, friendship, hardship, action,... the whole story is the fight for love, for power, for peace, for survival. The acting of the main couple blew me away, really amazing. Some said there're so many 18+ scenes but tbh, there're only about several minutes of 18+ scene in total, and they're pure art, nothing to be
offensive. I also love the way that KinnPorsche broke the traditons of Thai BL series as i knew that most of them are 'bout school age love. Moreover, the investment for making this film is huge, the music they chose in each scene is amazing.

Incredible

For me, the wait was totally worth it.

Kinnporshe is the type of show that some people are going to love others are going to hate. I personally love it. The cast is on point, and the acting is really good. Even though some things done in the show are not that necessary it doesn't affect the show itself. It is essential to know that most relationships in Kinnporshe are a little or very toxic. You can't watch this series and expect the healthiest relationships.

The plot was very interesting and honestly, I only completely understood who did what to who in the last episode. Which is very good for a mafia show, they were predictable on some points but still the ending leaves you stunned.

Can't wait for more coming from them.
