KinnPorsche The Series (2022)

So worth the wait

I honestly loved this show so much. Is it because I am a bit biased? Yes and no. I loved all of the actors, they all really fit their roles and I just feel like no one else could have pulled it off better than this cast.

The story:
Honestly I don’t even remember what the main story was. Kinn being chased by some people and all of a sudden he’s in love with Porsche? Makes sense ‼️But overall I did enjoy the big twists in the last 2 episodes. I really was not expecting any of that.

The cast:
Like I said before, I loved the cast and there could not have been any better choices. Their acting was amazing to say the least.

The music:
I loved it so much. That’s all I have to say. It was so catchy that I never skipped the intro/outro.

Rewatch value:
I will most definitely rewatch this. Preferably with my friend who I’d always talk to about this show.

Production:
Amazing. The directors, writers, filmers(? Idk what to call them), literally everyone who took part in this did such a great job. The amount of detail in the scenes??? Are you kidding??? Oh my god it’s literally out of this world.

Overall:
I really loved this show. It will forever be one of my favorites, although the story could have been more solid.

TLDR:
Amazing show, amazing cast, amazing production. Will definitely be rewatching. Story could have been better

god tier, a literal masterpiece

I don’t even know where to start in writing this review, I don’t know if I could ever put into words how much this show means to me, there is no rating that could ever feel like enough. I have never had a show affect me this much, it surpasses every bl I’ve watched. I don’t think I will ever love a show more than I do this one. The acting, the visuals, the music, everything was just completely perfect. The cinematography?? Stunning. The actors that were casted were absolutely spot on for their role. We are so lucky to have bible & build play Vegaspete, Mile & Apo as kinnporsche and Jeff & Barcode for Kimchay, the side characters also did an incredible job. Tankhun as a comedic relief character was such a breath of fresh air. The chemistry between all of the main characters was so prominent both on and off screen. I will never get over the fact that we could see the cast members being each others comfort and safe zones. Barcode having to touch/be close to Jeff because he was so nervous was adorable, Jeff always tried to make him feel comfortable and always smiled when he was around. Mile and Apo’s friendship is so genuine and real, the fact that Apo called Mile to make sure he was doing okay after their scenes, bringing him medicine when he had covid PLSSS I love them so much. Bible & Build make me so happy, the hug they shared in the ep 14 behind the scenes, the fact that they’re always smiling around each other. I could feel the passion, desire and tension between Kinn and Porsche and Vegas and Pete. Build absolutely DELIVERED, it’s extremely hard for me to pick a favourite character but I think if I had to I would lean toward Pete, his crying was so convincing, I could feel his pain. The way he was screaming for Vegas will forever haunt me, his FACE when it went from smiling to absolute fear, literally give this man an award. The fact that this was Bible and Mile’s acting debut? Insane. The way Apo can portray his emotions just by his eyes? Breathtaking. Kim’s action scene in the final episode!?!?! UNREAL. Kinnporsche completely took over my life, from re-watching every episode multiple times, constantly going on my phone to look at posts & videos to making edits to reading the novel, to impatiently waiting for the next episode to air (which was torture because I was dying to see what happened next) I’m SO thankful I got to experience this show while it was airing, getting to live tweet with other fans, watching the cast going live on instagram & twitter, getting to watch the behind the scenes after every episode and their live reaction to the finale. Bible & Apo’s reactions to all of the Vegaspete scenes, Apo & Jeff crying!! These characters will forever hold a special place in my heart, I’m so proud of every single one of them. I feel so empty now that it’s over, like a piece of me is missing. I need like an entire year to recover

One hell of a ride!

Kinnporsche is one of the best series I've had the pleasure to watch.

No, it's not perfect, the plot has few little holes/stuff that left me dissatisfied, but overall this is a product of quality that any BL fan should try to watch at least once in their lifetime.
What can you expect from KP though?
First of all, a pretty damn nice and capable cast. All the actors involved in this project did an amazing job in portraying their assigned characters, delivering funny/dramatic/cheesy/whatever scene with ease.
KP, in fact, it's not about mafia and the dark side of it, it's mostly a love story. It has very serious elements, but also lighthearted and steamy episodes. It's a mix of everything and that can be seen as a plus or a minus.
Two main couples have a proper storyline (and I admit, a third one has a weak development/plot in my opinion - but I won't spoil who I am talking about) and topics such as consent, abuse and trusting others are very well played.

Unfortunately, if there's something that sometimes KP doesn't excel at is displaying human reactions. While 3/4 of the series is okay, near the end the characters started to react and do stuff just because it was needed for the story to progress. But I repeat, this is not a common problem throughout episodes, so it's not that irritating (or, at least, it wasn't enough for me to drive me crazy and drop the rating).

To summarize, you should definitely watch KP if you're looking for a high budget thai BL with interesting couples, nice action scenes, a sprinkle of violence and steamy scenes. If you're looking for a dark thriller/realistic and raw portrayal of mafia, then forget it.

Ps. Also, if you're italian (like me), pls be prepared for broken italian with a very heavy foreign accent. I appreciated them trying tho XD

Pps. Tankhun deserves to be mentioned because this character is A+ and the reason why I gave the rating a +0.5 in my final score. God, I'd love to be his bff. We all need a dramatic Tankhun in our lives!

Episode 13 alone should be in hall of fame of thai productions

Best three months.
Loved it.
Its more of a larkon with mafia aspects
Beautiful fighting choreography
Beautiful acting.
Beautiful music.
The views cinematography is insane...felt like i need to go to Thailand and see of they are lying to my eyes.


After episode one setting...episode two kind of throws you out of the loop cause thats when the romance comedy aspects is introduced. It sets the on coming theme of a comedy romace rather than heavy dark theme.
I can understand those who might not adjust to it..but yall are missing out on beautiful rollar coaster ride.

What An Opening Episode!

Talk about grab your attention within the first few minutes!

The fast pace of this 1st episode had me hooked within minutes and I'm now anticipating future episodes. The quality of production is great, the actors all seem well suited for their roles (we haven't met everyone yet) and the action scenes are better than many other series I've watched. The hints of humour also were very well placed.

The BL story of a Mafia son and his reluctant Bodyguard had me intrigued from the moment I heard about it and saw the trailers so I'm hoping the series continues on as great as the first episode.

An honest review from a long-time fan of the cast and novel (No Spoilers)

I want to give an honest review, as a fan of the cast before the show started airing and a big fan of the novels. This review will not contain any novel spoilers. By the time I'm writing this review, only 1 episode is released.

+ Novel similarities +

I was very impressed by the first episode. The storyline followed the novel closely, but they skipped over many scenes, added new scenes or completely changed things, but they didn't skim over anything important. This was a very good choice of the screenwriters/authors. All our favorite scenes and the core of the story and characters are still there. The changes made the characters more relatable and seem more 'human'. Also, the story was more fast paced, which I liked a lot. It would have taken much longer to reach the scenes at the end of episode 1 otherwise.

Also, the chess game between Chan and Korn was very interesting, it is foreboding that there is a game being played here by Korn. I wonder if they follow the novel, or do something entirely else?

+ Acting +

Mile and Apo did a fantastic job, bringing the characters of the novel to live. First, I had to adapt to the personalities of Porsche and Kinn, because for two years we followed Mile and Apo and I had to tell myself, wait they're Porsche and Kinn now, don't look at them thinking of Mile and Apo! While watching the episode, I was able to turn the switch about half way.

Mile as Kinn, to me, was so sexy, so hot, without showing a lot of skin. It's the confidence, power, mannerisms. I really couldn't see Mile anywhere, the smiley, happy man was replaced by Kinn. He was so amazing. Porsche was borderline annoying, but that means Apo did an amazing job because I remember thinking Porsche was annoying in the novel too sometimes haha. But he's also serious when he has to be, especially when it comes to his brother. Really loved seeing Apo as Porsche, he really is perfectly casted, just like Mile.

Porsche's uncle, Korn, Big (nodt), Ken (Perth), and Jom (ping) are really good actors, especially Nodt (Big) caught my attention each time he came into view, he's really great.

Barcode as Porchay, sometimes I thought he looked nervous while acting and not convincing, but at other times he really did a great job, especially at the scenes with the letter and the more emotional scenes with Porsche. He's very young and this is his first time acting, I think overall he did a good job and I could feel the brotherly love between him and Porsche.

+ BGM & Close-Ups +

At certain times, the music was nice, but sometimes it was not very memorable or non-existent. And there were scenes without background music, where I think BGM would have made the scene better. I hope when the dvd or blu ray set is released, they will do something about the music. Because music in film conveys emotion and feelings, it's so important and adds extra dimension.

Also wish there were more close-up scenes to provide context and visual interest. Close-up scenes of hands, faces, touches, looks, but also the setting, are so important to give more information about the character and the scene, but we got very little. Especially in a Boys Love drama, it is important because it helps create tension between characters, anticipation, and conveys emotions and mood. I hope the future episodes, especially the more intimate scenes, will have more of those close-up shots. Since the first episode was mostly action, I can understand why they save those kind of shots for later episodes!

+ Final Word +

All in all, really good episode, very high re-watch value, and I'm so excited for the next few episodes, especially Vegas and Pete who will play with your emotions a lot. We saw Pete for one second blurred in a corner, and I was so happy to see him, but I guess it wasn't his time to shine yet!

BEST THAI BL TO DATE!!!!

Love it or Hate it, KinnPorsche is the best Thai BL to date.

However, from gore to sex - to unconventional relationships - KinnPorsche is filled with a lot of adult content.
If you're into cutesy, first love type of BLs or just handsome men falling in love with each other, this is not for you!


~~ STORY ~~

Just read the summary, but I will say the best part about KinnPorsche is Kinn and Porsche's game of cat and mouse. Neither Kinn, nor Porsche are willing to give in to each other and they are constantly trying to one-up each other. Even when you think that Kinn and Porsche have finally confessed to each other and are now going to become an item, they still play cat and mouse with each other. One moment they are the perfect couple and the next they are at each other's throats.

However, most of their game of cat and mouse might come from the lack of trust they have in each other... Which might be Korn's fault. Kinn's father is the most mysterious character, and possibly the villain of the entire story. Korn has so many secrets and never reveals them until he is forced to, that nothing really is as it seems. Porsche's tragic family background is one example. Korn is hiding so many secrets, in turn making Porsche weary of Kinn and his entire family. It's the mafia, no one can be trusted.


~~ CHARACTERS ~~

Kinn x Porsche

Kinn and Porsche are an amazing couple. While they are a little toxic because they have trust issues, they still are loyal to each other and try to make things work. Kinn's hot-headed and impulsive, while Porsche is more sensitive and understanding than he lets on. They both are two alpha males, who constantly butt-heads, but they fill in the missing parts of each other and that is all that matters to them.

Vegas x Pete

Vegas and Pete were a surprise couple, yet they are very controversial. While not the ideal couple, Pete and Vegas are an interesting couple. There are layers to their relationship, which I will discuss later.

Kim x Chay

If you actually read between the lines for this couple and the limited screen time they have, you can see that Kim was actually interested in Chay from the beginning. It's once he learned that Chay was Porsche's brother, that Kim put on his mafia mask and approached him. After Chay finds out the truth, Kim pushes him away, but is still constantly taking care of him behind the scenes and always calling him. Kim probably has some hidden agenda, like wanting to keep Chay away from the mafia or something like that, but who knows.

Time x Tay

They are the most minor couple in the series, but they are interesting. They maybe got around 20 minutes of screen time in total, but I wish I could see more.

Tay and Time are Kin's friends. Time is a big time politician's son, while Tay is the son of a high ranking officer and hotel chain owner. Time is always cheating on Tay, taking an interest in Porsche's friend Tem. Tay, however, is loyal to Time despite not liking Time's unfaithfulness.


~~ ISSUES IN KINNPORSCHE ~~

Because of the many mature topics in KinnPorsche, there are many people with many different opinions on the many mature topics. Many BL fans live in a fantasy world where they want their favorite BLs to be the utopia they dreamed of. Hot guys, consensual and romantic sex, men being the epitome of Adonis and breathing romance down their loved one's. However, reality if far from utopia. There are many different types of love. Some are romantic and sweet, while others are toxic and crude.

When you look at KinnPorsche and the mafia background, it should be a no-brainer that this world is not utopia. You know the rumors about the mafia, so why should the mafia in KinnPorsche be any different?

KinnPorsche decided to go for a more realistic approach to the mafia, therefore the romance in the series also had to be more realistic. Like it or not, there are many different types of romance. Some are sweet and innocent. While others are more toxic like Kinn and Porsche, and Kim and Chay. There are even some that are downright vile, like Vegas and Pete. And as toxic as these relationships are, KinnPorsche doesn't fetishize these relationships.

1. Consent/Rape - Kinn and Porsche

In the first part of their relationship, you can see there are issues with consent. Kinn takes advantage of Porsche when he is drugged. Fortunately, in the end Porsche was okay with it, but rape is still rape. It's not okay, just because someone is okay with it. Porsche also loses trust in Kinn due to this.

2. Manipulation - Kim and Chay

Kim manipulates Chay's feelings and uses it to dig into Porsche's background. When Chay finds out he is heartbroken, as he should be. Even if you read between the lines and think that Kim is taking care of Chay after everything, the damage has been done. Chay can't trust Kim.

3. Is it Stockholm Syndrome? Vegas and Pete's relationship

At a glance, Pete might be experiencing Stockholm Syndrome. Why else would Pete fall in love with Vegas after Vegas tortures him?

Well, I beg to differ.

It's hinted at multiple times that Pete might have a thing for Vegas, and vice versa. Also, if you look at Pete's defiant eyes, you can tell he hates Vegas, even after he is tortured. His eyes change slightly after seeing how Vegas's father treats Vegas. He sympathizes with Vegas, as his own father beat him too. He understands Vegas's feelings of self-worthlessness. Pete, himself, overcame that to become who he is, so he hopes Vegas can do the same and walk out of his father's shadow.

Feeling emotion for your kidnapper is Stockholm Syndrome right? Well, not in this case. There is a clear distinction between Vegas in mafia-mode and Vegas when he is being his true self. First, mafia-mode Vegas wears really bright and flashy clothes. Vegas, when he is true to himself, wears his hair down and wears more pain clothes. Pete's eyes and demeanor change between who he is talking to. When Pete talks to Vegas in mafia-mode, Pete glares at him and has a clear hate for him. When talking to Vegas being Vegas, Pete relaxes and softens. This is made very clear if you pay attention. Also, even after Pete's escape, he doesn't forgive Vegas or want to have anything to do with Vegas, when Vegas is in mafia-mode. Every time they meet and Vegas is wearing his flashy clothes and holding a gun, Pete holds his gun to Vegas. It's only when Vegas is not in mafia-mode, and is being true to himself, does Pete hold and care for Vegas.

Pete doesn’t have Stockholm syndrome. Why else would Pete escape of his own volition? Would he knock Vegas out and escape if he has Stockholm syndrome and desperately in love with Vegas? Vegas promised that he wouldn't lock up Pete anymore, so why would Pete knock him out and escape? Why?

Anyways, let's talk about Vegas and Pete's very toxic relationship without the Stockholm syndrome angle.

After Pete's capture, we learn more about Pete and Vegas's family background. We learn that Vegas's father mentally and physically abuses Vegas similar to how Pete's father did the same to him. It's when Pete and Vegas learn that they have similar experiences that they start to sympathize with each other. Vegas slowly starts to open up to Pete. He sees that Pete is much stronger than he let's on and starts to emotionally depend on Pete to get him through his troubles. Pete, on the other hand, sees that Vegas isn't all that strong as he makes himself to be, and sees that Vegas has low self-esteem.

One of the controversial scenes... Aside from Vegas torturing Pete... is Pete and Vegas's sex scene. Vegas projects his frustration and in turn, his heart, at Pete. When Vegas shouts, it seems like Vegas is asking why doesn't Pete escape? Why doesn't anyone accept him in mafia-mode? Why does Pete want him to be vulnerable when he's supposed to be strong? What does Pete see in him that he and his father don't? Pete is initially scared of Vegas's outburst, but seeing that Vegas is just confused, he follows his heart and they have sex. It's after their sex scene that you see Vegas regretting his actions towards Pete. After they have sex, they are on the bed talking. Vegas turns to look at Pete and he looks sad. He knows he can't undo his actions towards Pete. He knows he hurt Pete. It's a short moment, but it's there.

After Pete escapes, Vegas seemingly goes back into mafia-mode with his flashy clothes, but Vegas acts different compared to before. Every time he meets Pete, he apologizes and asks Pete to kill him. Vegas doesn't know any other way to redeem himself and what he did to Pete aside from dying. Vegas knows he did wrong and keeps apologizing until the end. He knows Pete is too good for him. Pete, on the other hand, is haunted by Vegas because he saw the good in Vegas. He saw how hurt Vegas was, yet he couldn't forgive what Vegas did to him even after they became one. Pete needed time to think about whether he truly could trust Vegas or not that's why he kept his gun drawn on Vegas. Until Vegas could open up to him and be himself, Pete kept his gun drawn on Vegas.

Vegas and Pete's relationship is very toxic, but when you read between the lines, there is more than meets the eye. They probably will never be able to fix the past, but if in season 2, they can turn over a new leaf and make amends, then maybe they can turn their future relationship into a healthy one. It will take lots of hard work, but Vegas is already trying his best to make amends, so to me, they seem to be the closest couple to be fixing their toxic relationship.

~~ OVERALL ~~

Go watch KinnPorsche.

KinnPorsche can speak for itself, and I don't think I need to beg you to watch it. If you don't watch it, you're missing out.

KinnPorsche really is the best BL to date!

EXCEPTIONAL !!!!!

This drama for me is the best one for the year of 2022, and possibly for a long time to come, the number of times I have re-watched this is endless ever since it came to an end.

The story, the cast, the locations, the productions, the scenes OMG were out of this world, and the fact that this drama has been trending No1 worldwide speaks volumes all on its own.

I love how each of the characters were so well matched and they fitted there partners well, for me Kinn and Vegas were the hottest throughout this drama. The way each learned to trust and love and work out there difficulties was amazing.

Honestly saying this is a 10 start is a little underrated.

I loved it....

Overall: Lets go do another re-watch (LOL)

I watched this masterpiece twice and im sure that i`ll watch it again. I was sure that KP will be amazing even when it was not released yet. Waiting for each episode was totally worth it. Sometimes i was sad, because i should wait a whole week for new episode, but nonetheless i was never disappointed. In my opinion, the chemistry between the main actors is on high level. The plot, the cast and music was amazing. Every time i heard Why dont you stay, i was on cloud nine. I really like Jeff`s music and acting, of course. I feel sorry for Chay, he deserve happiness and i ship him with Kim ( i hope, in season two, they become a couple). Honestly, on the beggining, i dont think that Vegas and Pete will like each other, but they become my fav. couple of all time. Reading comments about them and i was like " but Vegas likes Porsche" and then "Vegas was with Tawan, maybe he still love him, why everyone think that he will fall in love with Pete??". Whatever. Im so happy for them, even though Vegas is a psychopath..
I love this type of dramas. Watching Kinnporsche is totally worth it.

My second best BL

Before starting the series I had some thoughts about it being a bit violent and depressing but it ended up being a cute, sweet, cheesy story as I see Porsche as a guy who makes smile anyone who is looking at him on screen, he's soo cute.

Well as fot the adult side I mean not murders, guns or drugs but actual 18+ scenes between Porsche and Kinn were breathtaking I was like "oh, hhmm ... didn't expected them to go so far on sceen but it was a blessing to see"
Also Pete and Vegas had such hot, burning relation wooaahh I always keep on saying myself it's toxic, unhealthy but I still wanted this couple to end up together I mean the tense they create while they are together is crazy

This series has set my BL standards soo high that I'm worried about not being able to find anything good soon
