Not so stereotypical mafia story

KinnPorsche is one of those stories I could rewatch a million times without getting bored.

Firstly, I have to say that I started the series with negative thoughts because of my hatred towards the "mafia romance" storyline I am not so fond of. I was scared that the story would turn into those mainstream erotic-themed scenarios evident in most books and movies (especially Western ones). With this type of trope, the creators were stomping on thin ice and even one mistake could make this work unwatchable.
But despite the heavy start, I was pleasantly surprised with how the plot was delivered. There weren't any parts in the show when I had to pause and think to myself "What are you doing with your life?", which is very rare with Thai BL.
The main element that made the series so enjoyable was the chemistry between the main couple. Thanks to Apo and Mile, I watched the whole time amazed by their performance. I won't be lying when I say that there were no awkward scenes that could make the watcher uncomfortable or embarrassed. Every moment between the main characters was worth remembering and unique in its way.
The next element that stood out to me was the fact that we've got some noteworthy storylines from side characters as well. It made me even more excited to continue because every episode had something fresh to offer. There was no dullness in what I was watching. I wasn't bored even once as a result of the rich and stimulating script.
And while I am a big fan of the series, I have to say that some of the plot was a little bit unclear for me at first. I have no idea whether it's because of the pace of the story or my slowness but it might be apparent to some while watching. Though for me it cleared up pretty fast after continuing.
And you might wonder "Why hasn't she rated this work ten stars if she's such a big fan of it?". Well, even as an enthusiast I can point out that there was a romanticisation of themes that shouldn't be there. Some dark topics were just presented too vaguely in my opinion (which caused a lot of discourse around the portrayal of specific behaviours). And even though it wasn't that noticeable to others, it was something I couldn't ignore.
Overall, I would recommend KinnPorsche to anyone interested in BLs, especially the more mature ones. A bumpy ride full of intriguing characters, big affairs and complex motives unfolding in front of your eyes. Nothing ordinary or mundane.
What else can I say?

Enjoy this rollercoaster,
Lula
