KinnPorsche (2022)

I watched every episode 4 times and I never do that

What can I say? It's just that good. Definitely the most well-produced BL series I've ever seen. The only thing that comes close is the Sammon verse (Manner of Death and Triage), in my opinion. I really struggle to rewatch things, it's even rare that a series holds my attention the first time I watch it, but KinnPorsche really gripped me tight. I dragged like four friends into the KP rabbit hole with me, all completely different people, but they were always just as convinced as I was after I forced them to watch the first episode. I think that really speaks for itself. Just a really, really good series, both as a TV show and as a BL.

Conflictingly great

This drama somehow tore my entire heart out and changed the course of my life. I went into it feeling uncomfortable, but kept watching out of curiosity. I kept it a guilty pleasure until I saw the ending. Then, I realised this series is probably the most meaningful to me out of every Thai drama I've watched. I ended up rooting for everyone, despite my grievances. KinnPorsche made me believe they are all human, despite their doings.

The pacing of this drama is nearly too fast, which caught me very off guard. I'm used to dramas being on the cusp of boring just to fill a certain number of episodes, but KinnPorsche does the opposite. You can't really look away whilst watching. Even during softer scenes, there's a tension that won't break. It kept me engaged.

The aesthetics were perfect for this setting in my opinion. I'm easily turned off by bleak or unfitting visuals, so this was a huge plus in my book. The actors did a really great job portraying the characters. Props to them!

My biggest problem with this drama: KinnPorsche has an abundance of SA, which makes me unable to give it five entire stars. Some explicit scenes felt drawn out and without reason. It's something that turned me off a lot, especially in the first half of watching this. I strongly recommend not watching KP if this is in any way triggering to you.

So good!!!

I just finished binging this for the second time. I forgot how much of a masterpiece this show is!!
What an epic journey we get to go on.

The ost is repetitive, but I think it is good. Creative that they came up with different versions of the main song to fit different moods. & ofc Jeff Satur is a God among peasants with the voice of an angel.

I'm in awe of the cast's acting skills. They sold every aspect and every emotion of their characters. I love all 3 brothers plus their cousin, Vegas. I came for Kinn and Porsche, but in the end I loved every couple (perhaps Vegas and Pete are my favorite though ?).

Tankhun is the funniest character in this whole show. I adore him. Thanayut did a phenomenal job in this role.

I wish Porchay was aged up to 18 and portrayed by an older actor so we could've gotten more romance from Kim & Porchay, but Jeff still sold us on the love and protectiveness Kim has for Porchay without any physical intimacy happening.

Despite the couple of bad eggs that are now a stain on this masterpiece off screen, I'm grateful for this shows existence and I am sure I will watch it again and again!

Worth every second!

I usually don’t watch Thai bl but this is definitely my top 1 favorite Thai bl, everything about this show was so interesting, I was more interested in the second couple than the first couple but also the second couple was Vegas and Pete which was kinda toxic and Pete also fell in love with his OWN Kidnapper who tortured him for fun and had an opportunity to escape but didn’t…
But the cast visual was insane everyone was fine!
the plot was soo good and wasn’t boring at all which this drama is about violence which is rare to make usually interesting! Definitely watch this.

Mafia series

I was expecting more given it's hype but yeah it's good I suppose. VegasPete is really problematic and seeing people normalize it just because Pete acceptes how Vegas acts is weird, it's not because Pete "is ok" with it that it isn't toxic and terrible but yeah you can't really expect a healthy relationship in the mafia so...

(vague spoilers) loved this show!

I went into this show knowing nothing, having never seen a BL or a Thai show at all, and only knowing that the main couple was cute thanks to a gifset on my tumblr dash. I had no expectations, but the show exceeded them anyway. The acting was astounding for this being so many's first role, and the cinematography was beautiful. I had to pause all the time just to take in the scenery presented to us. Every single episode gave me something to be shocked about, or something entertaining to laugh at, or something to coo over. At times it was very soap opera-y but each twist and turn had me hooked to my screen.

I'll reiterate what I saw other reviewers say which is that this show is meant for mature audiences who can understand that these relationships are toxic. They're extremely fun to watch and the actors do an amazing job of guiding the audience through their character's emotions and growth, and showing the love each ship has for each other. But they're toxic. Don't go into this expecting that they're perfect and do no wrong -- they wrong each other all the time. But imo the morally gray quality adds really interesting layers to everything and I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much if they were squeaky clean.

I have to mention Bible especially for how talented he is portraying Vegas as an evil monster, an abused son, and someone desperate for recognition and love no matter where it comes from. He nailed every scene he was in and I enjoyed how it felt like Vegas could completely change in a matter of seconds. So versatile and captivating. Also while I was watching, whenever something was great, I found myself jokingly thinking 'thank you Mile'. So yeah, I would also like to say, thank you Mile. This was an amazing show and I can't wait for a season two.

A BL for those who enjoy morally grey characters

KinnPorsche is not for everyone. If you have a preference for sweet, lovey-dovey romances that end up tied in a pretty bow, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

If you are looking something different and your mind is open for imperfect and flawed characters, then you might want to check this out. No matter which review you read, you can't really judge the show if you don't at least watch the first episode and form your own opinions.

This is a character-driven show and the plot only gets started at the later part. The acting is phenomenal!!! Bonus points for having a visually appealing cast. The music is perfect - addictive rock music and hauntingly beautiful love song. I have rewatched the episodes many times already.

If you end up watching the show, please do so at iQiyi. Don't watch it through illegal sites. iQiyi has the first three episodes of the TV version available FOR FREE. If you end up liking the first 3 episodes and want to watch more, then please do so by getting the VIP subscription. The cast and crew didn't work hard on this show only to be short-changed by illegal sites. Please respect their dedication and hard work by watching only through iQiyi. Thanks.

The world of Mafia men and their trauma.

Firstly I'd like to say everyone did great acting wise, no hate towards the actors whatsoever... that being said...

I despised VegasPete's storyline. Despised Vegas in general and yeah it's a Mafia story blah blah excuses, even Mafia men have their limits in the morals they break. It's expected for a villian to exist but not all villains deserve redemption. People say you're the product of your surroundings but explain Macau? Pete? They weren't saints (tho we really barely saw Macau ) but they weren't completely and outright repulsive with their behavior like Vegas and his trauma is no excuse. So really the last couple episodes are kind of unwatchable for me unless I skip the VegasPete stuff. It feels too Stockholm Syndromey for me so it keeps it from being a full 10 Star BL for me. The finale helped in a therapeutic way to help stomach the relationship but also still left me with a deep seeded bit of hate for him. I look forward to him growing up as a character and changing my mind about him and his relationship with Pete but for now it's just a trauma bonding, Stockholm Syndromey codependent mess with no love involved for me.

KinnPorsche were my favorite from the main three, they started off rocky but they worked through it with genuine remorse and apologies from Kinn. ( Stuff I had a hard time believing from Vegas.) After that, the trust issues and miscommunication, they were both at fault for. I didn't like how much Porsche teamed up with Vegas without the knowledge of what he did to him (which never gets addressed besides the second time he tried to do something) and also with the knowledge of what he had done to Pete. Putting way too much trust in the devil. Kinn not telling Porsche things he needed to know also didn't help either and I get he was scarred by his ex (who I loved and everyone else seemed to hate lmao) but taking his past relationship issues and making it Porsche's problem to deal with wasn't fair to Porsche. The finale tho, I loved what their end was and can't wait to see how it develops for next season.

KimChay , I don't have much to say besides they were cute and angsty, I don't hate Kim like others might and understand him not wanting to commit another mistake with Chay by further bringing him into his dangerous world. I was annoyed by Chay and how he was willing to throw his life away for someone he barely knew but what's done is done. At least he has a protective shadow watching over him... Jeff and Barcode did well with what they were given though; The whole age gap discussions were really getting on my last nerve with how people were making Jeff look when he was nothing but respectful the whole time and they were simply acting.

Now on to TimeTay, they barely got any screentime and I'm so bummed about it. Everytime JJUs were on screen they had my attention. I admit I enjoy a well written cheating plotline whereas others might be triggered by it but we didn't get to experience it this season even tho they were promoted just as much as the main three at one point in time.

Tankhun, Arm, Pol, Pete and Porsche as a group I loved so much and were a highlight of the series. The dads... untrustworthy the both of them is all I'll say. The plot twists wrecked my brain just cause I didn't see them coming from what I was spoiled for by novel readers. The action scenes were my favorite scenes honestly, wish there was more of it going on in terms of the Mafia part of it. So there's my rant and all and all, I still cant wait for a second season. There's lots of room for a season 2 so I really do hope it falls through and covid doesn't delay it so much.

The Sountrack was A+++ the theme song is so catchy in both Thai and English also love that each one is of either Kinn's or Porsche's pov and you can't go wrong with Jeff Satur singing one of the Osts. I also liked Barcode's song as well.

The cinematography for the whole series was beautifully done and it's very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

Again congrats to the whole cast and crew for the tough journey they had to get us this BL, they deserve all the praise.

It’s Masterpiece, must watch fir every BL fan

This is the first BL of my life and it’s totally worth it. Acting done by main lead is exceptional. Not only main lead but all supporting actors, guest role, small roles all the actor did amazing job. Their chemistry i highlight of the series, their fight scene, comedy scene all are best. Production, cinematography, direction, Music, background score in all aspects the series is 10/10. After watching this series can’t seems to like any other series. It’s not typical high school or engineering college drama where actors do some cringe acting, it has very matured theme and acting is top notch. Already watched 4 times and read the Novel 2 times.

This was the most anticipated BL series of the year and trust me it did not disappoint.
That was one hell of a ride. This plot hits different in comparison to all the other BL series we've seen so far. It's dark, dangerous and seductive. Probably many won't enjoy this saying that it's not a great representation of the LGBT community and they're probably right. But for me at least this is not a problem. It's just a series and I don't want to watch something about the difficulties and the harsh reality, I just want to watch something that I will enjoy and that it will make me forget about real life for a second.
The music is amazing. Jeff Satur's song really made me emotional every time, but it's the main song by Slot Machine that will hold a special place in my heart.
All the actors did a great job. I could see the hard work and the love they put into these characters and I could always understand and feel their troubles, their happy moments, etc.
I think this one will change the course of Thai BL series in general. It was new and fun and I would totally recommend it
