Too unserious to be the Euphoria of BL

I went into KinnPorsche with a lot of hype around the series after having watched a lot of BL and related media in 2021 when it was first getting rumored and made into reality having just finished amazing series like Until We Meet Again and Manner of Death. Those shows highlighted BL's growth as a genre and that was proof that some exceptional shows in the gay genre could exist and also have intrigue outside of the plot romance while also taking itself seriously. Unfortunately KinnPorsche did not live up those titles at all.

There are intense pacing issues and a distinct lack of -real- drama for quite literally the first five or six episodes, considering how the pilot introduces Kinn and Porsche and the (initial) pretense of why they are together; Kinn is the heir of the lead crime family in the area and needs a bodyguard in Porsche. So many episodes are spent in this 'training' arc that is very campy and there's quite literally nothing serious that happens until about five episodes in when Porsche is present for the 'teaching of a lesson' that goes haywire. Porsche is more of a sassy live in crush that throws quips around until the plot decides to get serious about 8+ episodes in and we have overlapping side stories finally bringing the forest from the trees together and reminding the audience of the overarching plot. Sprinkled scenes of intimacy held me in suspense and yes they were nice but I didn't think Kinn and Porsche's chemistry was that great, either, they are just very attractive guys but I didn't feel any chemistry beyond that. I wasn't hooked until the very last episode but felt like it took way too long to get a coherent overarching plot amounting to something and to get satisfying comeuppances from the various characters. Didn't like Vegas much and I kind of hated Pete and Vegas, it just seemed out of nowhere but I did enjoy Kim and Porchay, Porsche's younger brother.

There's a story about family and loyalty and deception in KinnPorsche but it takes too long to find itself and meanders drunkenly through campy arcs for way too long to then have to rely on tired tropes to deliver. KinnPorsche to me wasn't offensively bad, but I can't say I thought it was good, either. If there's something to takeaway, I enjoyed the fighting scenes in KP way more than any of the BL aspects.

I think my hopes were way too high...

Coming off of Love In The Air a lot of friends online recommended this series to me and hyped it up (maybe too much) because I mentioned LITA being one of my favorites solely because of the chemistry between the characters. I typically don't mind plot holes in a series if the Romance and Chemistry between the couples carry. First 4 episodes into KP and I’m kind of bored ands uninterested in the mafia violence stuff. Maybe I just don't enjoy too much action in "Action Romance" genre in BL all that much. I'll still finished this series because I do enjoy the Romantic moments between the couples and the different dynamics each of them have. The NC scenes were WILD and I'm not sure if I like them or not. I know a lot of people like to slander a series because of abuse, non consent, etc. I typically don't mind if this is the main point of conflict in a series that's trying to get resolved. One could argue there might be too many conflicts that are trying to be resolved in this series and the abuse, SA, and lack of consent don't seem to be any of them.
I think overall, I'm just kind of neutral about this series. If I went it with less expectations maybe I would've enjoyed it a bit more

The ONE for me.

I'm gonna have to say this. This series is probably my absolute favourite on yet. Keep in mind I'm not the type of person that likes stuff easily.
It's really hard to explain how just on point this series is. The acting, editing, production, plot and the OST is something I'm never gonna be forgetting cuz of how satisfying it all was. Every single actor made me fall in love w them regardless of them having an evil or good personality.

!SPOILERS AHEAD!

The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the story of the characters Vegas and Pete.
I really can't wrap my head around the fact that they even got together after what they -specifically the character Pete- went through.
But the acting was chiefs kiss.
The rollercoaster of emotions I went through was real. The way I ugly cried when Vegas shot; I was really embarrassed w my actions :P I'm

As I've already said I absolutely loved this series.
If it has a Season 2 then I'd definitely watch it.
The series also left us on a cliffhanger w the Kimchay bit. So I'm very much expecting a good ending somewhere (PLEASE).

plot could've been better fr

personally the storyline was messed up.
probably got all the hype because of the beautiful cast and it's a new genre in the Thai bl industry.
Kim's whole ass investigation added zero value to this movie and obviously totally useless.
the ending added no significant value to this movie
needs better script writers.
There was definitely no character growth except for Vegas.
The only person with a legit story line in that movie was Vegas.
the fact that Kim and Porchay didn't grow together as a couple or have a magically ending is messed up. Cause why the literal f**k is Kim focusing on an investigation that didn't hold water instead of character growth and understanding his feelings for adorable Porchay?
Don't get me started on the unnecessary plot twist cause wtf
The ending was wrong in all possible ways.
what was the whole reason of hiding your supposed half/adopted sister from her family for so long?
And they just openly accept her without questions or her showing zero remorse for what she put her children through is messed up fr.
Pete going missing and nobody gives two f**ks about it like.........
Kinn having the brain of a goldfish and finding it hard to put two things together is just sad.

The love and warmth that existed between the bodyguards were ♾️
Vegas anxiety and trauma was displayed beautifully and the fact that after spending time with Pete he began to see his worth made it more beautiful.
It was nice to see how the positivity Pete had and genuine concern for Vegas impacted in his growth as a character. Showing how Pete is too and how despite that fact he was treated like poorly he could still help Veags grow and also become more open about his own pain and see the similarities between him and Vegas.
the connection the had was magical and definitely helped them grow as a couple as it should.

Porchay deserved better than a broken heart and dyed hair.

Foreshadowing was done so masterfully!

I held off on writing this review, mostly because this was my introduction to Asian dramas, Thai dramas and BL dramas in general. I didn't really have any expectations going into this, so I wanted to give myself time to watch some other series and get a good point of reference when it came to the review. Having said that, I think this was an amazing introduction into the BL world for me.

The storyline is nice, there are however some shortcomings and there are certain things that were left open or without an explanation - like the motivation behind the inside man. I thought of almost everyone else except him, but I still don't know why he decided to betray the main family. Also the family relevations about Porsche (and Chay) was a bit too much and completely unnecessary. It could have been and it should have been done differently.

I love how much though was put into the side characters as well. I was ready to just remember everyone by bodyguard 1, bodyguard 2, friend 1... There are a lot of side characters and I think it's amazing how I had no troubles knowing exactly who is who, how they are, picking up some of their traits. That takes a lot of work and dedication, so kudos for that. The chemistry (and not just romantic) between the actors was great, they all did an amazing job portraying emotions, often only through their expressions. And I think saying the visuals of everyone were on point is an underrated statement. OST was amazing as well!

Another absolutely brilliant thing was the foreshadowing - there were a lot of little hints about what is happening or what was going to happen throughout the series, but I feel like I didn't fully register all of them as I watched the series. It was only when things actually happened that I was like "oooh, so that's what that comments ment!". This is also why I rewatched the whole thing pretty much right after I finished it. I really wanted to see how many such details I missed.

We get to see 4 couples in the series: Kinn & Porsche, Vegas & Pete, Kim & Porchay, and Time & Tay.

Time & Tay: they are Kinn's friends who are already a couple when the series starts. All I am going to say is that Tay deserves so much better. At first, I wasn't really sure if their actions and comments are meant as a joke or are we supposed to take them seriously, but episode 12 cleared all of my doubts. The two probably got the least screen time between all the couples, but they slayed it.

Kim & Porchay: This is one pairing that I found really interesting. Porchay is probably the most innocent person in this whole series, while Kim seems like someone who could rule the world with very little effort. Kim is the youngest and doesn't live with his family, he is an artist, but at the same time, he knows much more about what is really going on than Kinn. So the duality of his character was quite interesting to watch, especially in comparison with Porchay who was delighted to meet his favourite singer. I do really feel for Porchay though, he was practically abandoned by his brother (even if Porsche was trying to ensure a better future for his brother) and was left in a very vulnerable position. Their relationship is kept to a bare minimum, but it was one that really stuck with me.

Vegas & Pete: from the first interaction show in the series, it was foreshadowed that the two will be together. I do think their relationship does begin very problematically, including what precedes it, but at the same time, I just cannot hate Vegas. He grew up in a very messed up household and was taught to obey his father. I think that true Vegas comes out when he is taking care of someone, which is shown in his interactions with Macau and later with Pete. I do think he finds it hard to completely leave behind what was engrained into him by his father. Pete does appear as a very superficial character at first, he is fun and silly, and that's it. But as the story progresses, we get to see a lot more of his personality. He is wise, strategical, caring, supportive. I think this is what makes him a great match for Vegas who needs someone who will show him love, who will love him for who he is as a person, who can see through his shell.

Kinn & Porsche: they are the main couple. Their relationship was quite messy at times and it lacked communication when it was the most important. Kinn as a character does seem very cold and ruthless at first, but after hearing him talk about his life, we do get to see a different side to him. As he and Porsche get closer, we do get to see his caring side more. Porsche is... wild. I don't really know how else to describe him, but I think he is perfectly imperfect. He gets himself into trouble constantly, is kind of clumsy, noisy and is good at messing things up. I feel like this is what makes his character so human, so realistic. I was amazed by how much a single expression from Porsche (Apo) could tell us about his feelings. The amount of raw emotions put into some of the scenes left me speechless.

I do have to make a comment on questionable consent. There are a quite a few spicy scenes in the series which were done really beautifully. I urge you to check the BTS where the actors talk about them. It's very refreshing to see such mature outlook on NC scenes. But back to the consent - both Kinn & Porsche's and Vegas & Pete's first time are a bit problematic for different reasons. I really appreciate that we got to see that Porsche and Pete were wary of what has happened afterward. I think it's important that such issues are addressed, because it shows that what has happened was not necessarily completely consensual, which can lead to trauma.

The 18+ rating on the series is justified. Not because of action / violence scenes, not even because of the NC scenes. The characters are extremely complex, there is a certain level of maturity needed to really understand everything. And many people, even when they are 18+, are not capable of that.

Was it perfect - hell no! But it was good.

I loved this BL. It was definitely not perfect. This was kindergarten mafia, with not very competent bodyguards, the story line with questionable turns and lots of wtf moments. But the visuals that this show brought and the style were amazing! Each ep was like its own movie. The hot cast and the sex scenes that will blow your gasket. It had everything - cuteness, sweetness, innocence, passion, love and hate, torture, jealousy, obsession, rivalry, angst - all wrapped in crazy family dynamics sprinkled with some blood. As a fan of toxic - I wish we would have gotten more screen time of VP!!!

I will fall short of adjectives explaining and talking about KinnPorsche the series, I mean what a show man, what a show!!! awesome!! watched it when it was ongoing, have been watching all the episodes since then ON REPEAT, it has become my comfort drama.

It had every element one show must have, it was not just a typical romcom BL drama, but BL drama with lots of actions, romance, comedy, drama, suspense, and omg talk about suspense I would not really want to give any spoilers in my review but only people who already watched it or have read the novel we know what all happened in the 14th episode!!!!!

There was no episode which seemed boring or plain, every episode was like a roller coaster ride, and the last episode was just AWESOME.. omg! the range of emotions we felt during the last episode, I guarantee all the KPTS fans who watched the last episode felt that!

omg! I am still hooked to that drama, I am sure I am not getting over it anytime soon!!

ONE OF THE BEST BL DRAMAS! I AM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO BL DRAMAS, AND AFTER WATCHING KPTS, (NO OFFENCE TO ANY FANS OF OTHER BL DRAMAS HERE) I FIND NO BL DRAMA AS INTERESTING AS KINNPORSCHE THE SERIES! KPTS HAS RAISED THE BARS OF BL DRAMAS! AND I GUESS NO ONE CAN DENY IT!! I AM WAITING FOR SEASON 2 I BELIEVE THERE IS SEASON 2 AS WELL! THAT CANNOT BE THE ENDING I AM SURE!!

I laughed and felt ticklish for kinnporsche, cried and later smiled for vegaspete, felt sad for kimchay!! not to forget Tankhun, one of the besttttttt characters omg!! childish yet most sensible person in the house, he proved how sensible he was every time there was problem in the family, none of his doubts were wrong and he used brains most of the time! BIG, KEN, ARM, POL they kept us entertained too!! For BIG I always always feel sorry to think so wrong of him every time he appeared in the show!

This is good but not perfect.

After watching it, I do understand why ppl loved and hated it all at the same time. Tbh, the first few episodes was so good, you will literally get hooked and will definitely stay to know more. But I have to agree with what other reviews have said, in the latter part of the story, idk but it get so confusing & a bit annoying at the same time.

STORY: (I haven't read the novel so this is base on my understanding in the series itself)

Tbh, the story is fantastic but not perfectly executed. Idk if its really the goal of the series, to make us all confused and annoyed but that's how I felt especially on the last 4(?) episodes. Also the ending felt too rushed or is it just me?.

I guess what I like abt the most in this storyline is how it is connected together and being polished in the end. I would say; trust issues will really hit you rock hard here in this series.


ACTING/CASTING: One word; spectacular.

The actors and their acting really did blend together so well esp Bible and Build. Dont get me wrong, I love how Mile and Apo portrayed Kinn and Porsche but I have to agree with others that BibleBuild nailed this one so much.

I do know that this wasn't the original cast for KP, some have been changed.. but tbh, the casts who have portrayed it now, NAILED IT so much.


MUSIC: Iconic.

Free Fall & Why Don't You Stay? Unforgettable🖤


FOR THE REWATCH VALUE: its still up to u tbh.

But for me, this kind of series is good for one time only. Maybe, will rewatch some scenes but not the whole series.


OVERALL REVIEW — is it worth the watch? Yes.

As a BL fan for a long time, I can say that 'so far' this has the BEST mix of genres in a series esp in the aspect of Action. But still I have to stand for my say that; Yes, this series is good but its not perfect. Why? Watch it to know :))

Ps. I entered as Apo biased, got out with Bas 😅

Enjoyable but definitely questionable

There’s about a million things wrong with this show lol like a massive amount of toxicity in like every single relationship but it does meet it’s purpose as a show, it’s interesting and it catches your attention.

Kinn and Porsche are cute, it’s almost disgusting actually lmao. I hope Chay and Kim will make peace too. Pete though… he’s probably my favorite character and I cannot believe they did that to him. I was kinda crushed when Vegas got shot just because Pete suffered but let's be real it'd been best for him if Vegas had died like ??? Why would you give someone so sweet such a tortuous (literally) relationship and such a nasty person for a partner? I do not understand. How can you ever act as if your partner hadn’t literally kidnapped and tortured you for days in the worst possible ways? It’s seriously disgusting. And no kind of trauma justifies that one, I do not care. I hope Pete gets help with his Stockholm syndrome fr. And Kinn and Porsche and everyone else but Tankhun just kinda forgetting about him… Yeah no.

Plot-wise, it’s painfully obvious that there’s something wrong with Porche’s and Chay’s mom and there’s definitely even something else that Mr. Kohrn is hiding (what’s new), so I admit that I’m curious, so I will probably end up watching season 2. But seriously, choose another target cause there’s so much emotional damage and trauma that a person can process and I feel like porsche is at his very limit give him a break😭

Last thing I wanna say is that the entire cast is insanely gorgeous. They seem super nice too I may or may not have ended up following some of them on Instagram🫠

Disapointed

It was my first thai drama. I watched it because I've loved asian romance dramas for a long time and I've heard a lot about it. I thought it was going to be that sexy, steamy dark romance and I think that's really what they tried to do with this drama, but it was so poorly done.

Let's talk about the things I liked first:
- Porsche. His actor was awesome, I liked his character and the fact that he was not just super cool but also kinda stupid and careless.
-The fight/action scenes were really well done and choreographed, and I particularly loved the last two episodes, they were super intense.
-Vegas and Pete. Their relationship was messed up, dark, touching, intense, and they were both awesome as individual characters. I saw a review that said that this couple made them want to skip Kinn/porsche's scenes and I agree. If they hadn't been there, I would have dropped the serie probably.

Now onto everything I hated
First of all, Kinn is such a poorly written character. They say he is super cruel but then he's always super nice with Porsche from the beginning, and he is stupid as hell, always making the bad decisions. I also could not connect with his actor at all. The relationship between Kinn/porsche seemed forced, I truly did not find any chemistry in there and I think it's mainly because of Kinn. And they act all lovey dovey super quick, and then it doesn't go deeper from there. Also, most of their shared intimacy happened when Porsche was drunk or drugged, and it takes a super long time before they actually do anything when he is sober.
Also, I liked the comedy and laughed quite a few times, but the balance between the comedy and the drama was not handled well. Like, no, I don't want to see Porsche farting on Kinn under the cover in between two scenes of Pete getting molested.
I said I liked porsche, but it's so annoying how he did almost nothing right. He just got fooled and manipulated throughout the whole drama.
One thing that is very personal, but there were litterally no women in that drama. Yok and Porsche's mother were there I guess but it was so quick and they had no impact on the plot. I'm sure I could time how many minutes we see a woman on screen and it'd be not more than 10 minutes out of 14 hours. I know it's a BL so it's normal for women to have less importance but at that point it was just ridiculous.
And to finish, the f is that ending?? Do they expect us to be happy for them, when Kohn manipulated them all the way, and yet they still believed him in the end and accepted the offer to become head of the minor family?? When they showed us porsche's memory of his parent's death, it showed that Kohn was standing and Gun was sitting, which fits gun's version of the story. So in the end, gun was right? So Porsche has been manipulated all the way till the end, although he said his dream would be to have a bar at the beach and we've seen him trying to get away from the family across the whole drama, and yet they expect us to consider this a happy ending? I know we could say it's not a happy ending, but they handled it as if it was.

To conclude, I don't think I wasted my time cuz it was overall pretty fun to watch but still I was left bored and frustrated most of the time.

You weren't exactly supposed to like VegasPete.

I want to start off by saying I loved this show—the acting, the cinematography, the music—everything was done so well, and the characters are incredibly lovable! They did a very good job adapting this from the book, and by "good job" I mean they took literal trash and turned it into gold, A.K.A. please by god do not touch the book with a 6-foot pole if you value your sanity.
There's a lot of things I could talk about with this BL that I absolutely loved, but I want to focus on one thing I don't see a lot of people understanding with this show: and that is the extremely toxic relationship that is VegasPete.

My biggest issue with most BL dramas is—and always will be—the romanticization of SA and/or abuse. There is nothing 'cute' about getting kissed under the influence when you did not consent, nor being held down and touched when you clearly do not want to be. Sometimes it's the dynamic, yes, but I'm not talking about that; I'm talking about the too-many instances where it crosses the line (coughtharntypecough).

There's a big difference between when BL's show these things happening and condemn it, and when they play it off as a joke or romanticize it. BIG. DIFFERENCE. This show somehow managed to do both!

Everything with Vegas and Pete made me extremely uncomfortable, and the "happy ending" they got felt... bittersweet. Pete fell in love, yes, but the mental trauma inflicted on him by Vegas is undeniable, and they both seriously need therapy if any form of a healthy relationship is to exist between the two of them. But that's just the thing, right? This was SUPPOSED to be a toxic relationship, that's what it was written to be. So why do I see so many people online romanticizing what happened to Pete?

It really gets under my skin, seeing fans look at these two and find them "cute"—you're allowed to like the actor (Bible and Build)'s dynamic cute, you're allowed to find VegasPete's story interesting, and you are allowed to favor it, but please stop looking at these toxic relationships and viewing it as "romantic" because it isn't, it's damaging to the queer community for you think like this.

Anyways, there's my two cents! Take from it what you will, but as someone who is gay, this particular thing just happen to be getting on my nerves. Again, I love this series, it's one the best to come out of the BL scene this year, but I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it if I didn't bring this up. :)
