KinnPorsche

EPIC! Can we say worth every second…!

This series! This series! Can we say worth every second waiting for Saturday to roll around. Worth every moment I’ve watched and rewatched. Worth every praise and accolades I’ve bestowed upon it! Worth every fan the cast garners. Worth every award they are sure to win in the future. What a dream team blessed with awesome writing and legendary directing and editing! I cannot praise this show enough. Please for the love of all the love in the universe give me MORE. I beg of you… bring back this team for a season 2 PLEASE!!! The finale wrapped everything up nicely but still left me questioning, guessing, suspecting. There is still so much left unanswered on Daddy Korn, and mama Nampheung’s part. That last line from daddy, and the last scene of mama told so much yet not enough! There has to be more to the story. I just know it. I want a whole series of Vegas/Pete, Kim/Chay living their best live together. I want to see Tankhun having a love interest. I want to see Kinn/Porsche in the next stage of coupledom. How Porsche handles being a boss now. Everything! I want everything! I’ll wait another 2 years for it to be done right! Just Please give me more of the amazing cast and production team. You all deserve every good thing coming your way from this project. The emotions y’all have drawn from me with every episode especially this finale is groundbreaking! Well done.
P.s. Erika is a BOSS! Why didn’t I see more of her badassery before today!?

Plot What Plot? Porn Without Plot

I mean no offense to the fans, but how is this the best BL series ever made? Just how? Is it because of the relatively high-quality cinematography, the fancy suits, cars, and houses, and the hot guys’ doing "sexy" [non-consensual] stuff? I am sorry, but all of this, even if it was a hundred times fancier, will never outweigh a well-written storyline like the ones of classics such as SOTUS, He's Coming to Me, Theory of Love etc., which convey the beautiful essence of BL. Shame on the production team for advertising this as a BL series, when it has virtually nothing to do with the genre. BL does not equal gay porn and hopefully never will.

I dropped this series after episode five because it was becoming disgustingly intolerable. The moment I saw Kinn rape Porsche while the latter was drugged I knew that this series is not for me – and judging by other reviews, there are worse things coming in the next episodes, including incest and more rape.

Episode one was interesting. After that, though, I could not understand if the production team had a mafia story, a dumb comedy, or just kinky porn in mind. I saw a lot of people praise Bible's acting. There were not many scenes with him in the initial episodes, so I cannot tell about him, but Mile and Apo were mediocre. In the lead actors’ defence, though, their characters are horrible people who behave illogically – no wonder they had trouble relating to them and portraying them. I liked Jeff Satur's acting and character. I was planning to continue the series because I was curious about him. However, the rape scene, which the script excused and romanticized, turned me off completely. There simply is not, and will never be, a scenario in which rape is sexy.

Although I liked Freefall, this song and the other OSTs are also just not it. Jeff Satur has a lovely voice, but his songs do not suit the vibe of a mafia series. They would have fitted a romance drama way better.

Visually pleasing actors and BL tropes thrown here and there cannot save a series that is literally the epitome of the Plot What Plot? Porn Without Plot tag on AO3. If this sets the standard for future BL series, I will stop being a fan of BL.

Edit: I forgot to discuss Tankhun. Knowing what happened to him in the past, I did not find his antics funny. I was actually disturbed that a character with serious childhood trauma was used for comedic relief. He is the survivor of a kidnapping. Making fun of such things should not be normalized. Shame on the production team for doing so.

I would also like to address the claims of some reviewers that since this series has a mafia concept, the fetishizing of rape and everything else that I find disturbing about this story is permissible.
First, this is not a mafia series. This is a soap opera thinly disguised as a mafia series. The mafia concept is highly underdeveloped and unrealistic.
Second, I encourage the apologists of this series to watch actual mafia movies. I recommend Casino, The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Irishman – they are considered four of the greatest movies in this genre. They are way darker than this series, which looks like a ridiculous fanfic compared to them. There is so much violence in them. There are toxic relationships, between couples, friends, and family. There is sex. They depict the world of the mafia in graphic details. However, not one of them is fetishizing non-consensual sexual activities, incest, or anything else of this kind. Bad actions and bad people are not excused. Their toxic relationships are not romanticized. If you watch even one of them, you will not think of calling this series a mafia one anymore. You will see it for what it is – a badly written kink fanfic.
Third, this series was marketed as BL. However, it deals with serious topics in a way that is not suitable for a substantial part of the usual BL target audience, which includes minors. Exposing minors to ideas like the ones promoted in this series – rape can be sexy, toxic relationships can be romantic etc. – is wrong. I thought that filmmakers were past the 50 Shades of Gray kind of "romance", but apparently not.

Okay wow!! Just... WOW!!

I generally am very picky about writing reviews for shows but here's the series that's holding me gunpoint to do it :D .

This was beyond my expectations! I love love loved it! I've not been so hooked to a drama in ages. This was a masterpiece. 

Definitely lots of trigger warnings (sexual assault, drug abuse, nudity, torture, asphyxiation, violence, gore, mutilation, electrocution, I might have missed a few... I now see why this series is not on YouTube) but everything aside, I loved this show for being so freaking gripping. I was controlling myself so hard not to binge-watch the entire series.

Favourite character(s): Porsche (I just adored this adorable, witty, pervert who attracts trouble everywhere), Porchay & Kim (damn Jeff Satur, you have my heart you sexy beast!), Pete (dude here's my 21-gun salute for the brilliant acting. My heart breaks at what this character went through). Not adding Kinn because the hell's wrong with your eyebrows bruh! Naah, just kidding (not really... you need a good trim :D ). Warning: none of the characters are black and white. But I've overlooked the problematic aspects (in character's behaviour. Not the drama) for now and focused on the overall character development which was done brilliantly.

Favourite moment: Porsche's rib breaking embrace and lip-breaking kiss to Kinn when Kinn asks him to go live his dream of house at the beach. Kim crying for Porchay. Pete traumatised and tortured by Vegas in the bathtub. All drunk-Porsche's scenes (did I mention he's adorable?).

Special mention: Tankhun. This guy... I don't have words for Tong's character. He seems like he's there for just comedic relief but no... he goes way way wayyy deeper than that.

Parts that annoyed me: Ken and Big's ending. They deserved better than the 10-second death exit they got! Even Pete's death got more empathy and ritual and he didn't even die!
And that blast... (what the hell was that! Kinn: "Are you okay?" Is he okay? He's not got a freakin' dust particle on him buddy! What was that even! ).
Also, why was Big in sling for weeks and Porsche's gunshot wound healed after one-night of partying? My acne stays longer that Porsche's gunshot wound.
Why/how Tawan got back again? Wasn't he shot by Kinn?

Music: work-of-art. The music took the whole series to another level.

Screenplay: when it comes to screenplay, I always go back to the scene where Vegas opens the truck compartment and the team jumps out to fry up the enemy... In short, chef's kiss.

Production: you can see 5-star mansions, BMW's, expensive tux, whiskey, pool, spa, guns and hot guys... so yeah, production's off the roof I guess. 

I'm one-hundred percent gonna miss this drama so badly! If they come up with second season, my soul will leave my body and float away happily...

Putting my kp defender hat on (fetishizing? toxic? romanticizing abuse/sa? no plot?)

Okay, this is my first review on mdl so be patient with me and buckle up because this going to be long as i would like to take this chance to clear some "popular beliefs" about this series that have been repeated over and over again in both the comment and review sections, popular beliefs that are actually FALSE which i'm going to debunk thanks to the help of my greater friends: the oxford dictionary and critical thinking! The premise is over so let's get started!

-Story is a solid 8.5. While my biased ass would like to give everything a 10, i believe that one of the purposes of writing a review is to give a truthful glimpse of what future watchers should expect from the series reviewed, and since i believe honesty is the best policy, here are my thoughts about the overall story and what i think could have been better. Contrary to what a lot of people have been saying, this series has a plot, a plot that works "undercover" since episode 1 while we discover the main characters of this story (WARNING: this is a character-driven series which means that through the developments of the characters and their relationships the story unfolds, so if you're not into that and prefer series packed with an overbearing amount of plot each episode, this is not for you). Our main protagonist is Porsche who is a 50% unserious, unhinged, and reckless university student on the verge of dropping out and a 50% loving and kinda absent (due to circumstances) brother to Porchay whom he's his everything: the last thing his parents left him to take care of (yes, spoiler but not really he's an orphan) along with the house. Every decision being taken by porsche, decisions heavily criticized by some reviewers and labeled nonsensical, is actually in character with his persona and the lovesick fool is going to become once he falls in love with his forever-worthy foe, Kinn, the heir of the Theerapanyakul clan aka the main family. Kinn, unlike Porsche, is presented to us as this domineering, serious, cold, rational mafia prince (spoiler: he's actually husband material once he falls in love) who is only obedient and second in power to his father, the leader of the clan or as i call him the master puppeteer, Korn, a character and a relationship that will play a big role in understanding the reasoning behind kinn's choices, keep that in mind! What is interesting about their relationship and how it works so perfectly is that, both kinn and porsche are presented to the viewers as incompatible in every single way but as their story progresses we slowly start to understand that they have much more in common than they initially let in. Their inherent understanding of each other, which seemed inexplicable (and some people still don't understand), actually comes from them bearing the same type of burden, the family burden, hence they find solace and understanding in each other something that is never going to change even with the many miscommunications they have going on and that they will continue to have because they are just humans and people don't change that easily like all these bl series want you to believe. I'm not going to explain step by step what's going to happen but the focal point of the plot is Porsche (why would a mafia leader hire a street-tough with 0 experience and relation to the mafia world? What is the reason? And that reason is slowly but surely given to us along with the budding relationship between Kinn and Porsche). Their story is what start the engine of the plot, a plot that moves forwards with them. Again, this kind of character-driven series is actually the most common one, let's think about all the popular bls out there such as i told sunset about you (one of my absolute favorites), bad buddy, not me or until we meet again, every single one of them is character-driven, "the plot" comes second and moves with the relationship of the main couple which is the main focus, the main entrée, the main engine of these series. So why do a lot of people who enjoy this type of character-driven story consider kinnporsche's plot weak? Simple, unlike all the bls i've just mentioned kp has what people deem "toxic" characters (but i'm going to further explain this below and why it's bullshit). Also to have a bit of context to what i'm trying to say you should go take a look at the numerous interviews with the all crew, particularly you should listen to what p'pond, the main director, said about this series and what is the main intent of it. This is first and foremost a LOVE STORY about flawed characters, human beings who struggle in the unusual setting they have found themselves in, it's about broken humans who find solace in each other. The mafia is just a setting, the mafia is just a background that plays a role in the story but it's NOT the main focus and they have always been clear about that.
Now, what i disliked. One criticism i agree with is the fucked up pacing and the time laps that unfortunately they failed to properly show us: kinn and porsche first kiss was like a month into Porsche's new life as kinn's bodyguard and we know that because kinn mentions it otherwise we wouldn't have been aware. The pete and vegas storyline seems very rushed and that is because they failed to show us proper time lapses because there are many hints that pete wasn't held hostage for just a few days, but the way they decided to go with it wasn't it and it's the main reason why i think not a lot of people felt the deepness of their feelings, and i blame it all on the "time management". Also, there are some technical and logical inconsistencies that could have been easily corrected which remind me a bit of all that hollywood nonsense, just to name a few: the lack of bulletproof vests for the bodyguards, the dusty blood every time someone is shot (i guess that red dust looks great on camera and it's visually appealing but doesn't make much sense irl lol), pete's bruises that keep appearing and disappearing like they have a life of their own lol (i.e when pete returns to the main family his arms appear to be free of bruises but then in the bathroom scene they magically make a comeback). Since we are on the topic of inconsistencies, i want to give my two cents, i've seen people a lot of people in the reviews mentioning plot holes but never actually explaining what these plot holes are or when they point them out it's just a lack of attention to what's happening on the screen and the details that, to be fair, could have been easily missed. Overall, the story to me is pretty consistent and solid and makes for a good entertainment, so don't be fooled there are not THAT many plot holes, there is a just amount of them like in every other series.

Acting/Cast 10/10
I know that a lot of people might find a 10 exaggerated and biased since it's not like there are any oscar worthy performances and i agree, it is exaggerated but it's a ten that needs to be put into context, i'm reviewing, and rating this as a THAI series and if you know a bit about thai series you would find the 10 kinda reasonable. I've seen a lot of people calling out the "bad acting" in kp and to that, i'm going to copy and paste a comment i wrote some days back because i know that most of these people rating the acting less than 7 or calling it bad have actually no experience or a very limited one with thai series, bl or not.
"Being the noisy individual that i am, i always look at the profiles' of the people because i'm interested in understanding where the criticisms come from and let me tell you that i wasn't surprised in the least that for most of these people it was their first thai series and approximately 7 out of 10 had come from kdrama watchers. I'll introduce myself: hi everyone! I've been a tv series watcher for most of my life and an asian drama enjoyer for the past 15 years and let me tell you when i say that the first time i watched an asian drama (i started my journey with the kdrama winter sonata) i was weirded out by the acting is an understatement, especially because i was mostly used to classic american series. I immediately found the acting really "bad" only later to realize that it was not the acting that was bad, it was just different, a different way of acting (as in mimicking daily behaviors which i was not accustomed to), very different from the ones i saw in american or more westerns series. When i got used to korean dramas i then jumped on the dorama train (precisely i started with the iconic hana yori dango), and let me tell you that i was once again weirded out by the acting, the way they acted was very different and while they had a "similar" vibe it was still a totally different way of acting (as in behaving) and spoiler alert that was because cultures and societies influence they way one's acts, behaviors that are later on mimicked in tv series. Well you got the drill, this "culture shock" in the form of acting happened to me every time i jumped on a series from a different foreign country, but the worst shock i got was probably from my first thai series which threw me into a completely different setting from the ones i was used to: the "weird" humor, the dramatic antics, the acting, each of them totally different from all my previous experiences. In the beginning, i also considered it bad acting but then watching more thai dramas (bl and not) i understood that it's wasn't bad acting, they were just different behaviors from what i was used to (NB: not saying that bad acting doesn't exist in thai dramas, it does and it's kinda everywhere nowadays as companies prefer cute faces over talent, but i feel that to really call a performance bad acting you must have some kind of "benchmark", something that some kp watchers have not hence why a lot were weirded out by the humor, the cheesy acting and others behavior). The thai drama industry is VERY different from the korean, japanese or chinese ones which is why when watching a thai series i try not to compare it to other asian dramas because they follow different parameters. Kinnporsche is great series THAI style and has a lot of great acting moments. This not me trying to stop future critiques of this show, everyone's thoughts are valid, this is a message directed ONLY towards the ones who have a limited experience with thai series and uses drama from other countries as their "benchmark", just a reflection in hope to make you see things from another perspective."

Music 9
I'll keep it short because i have much more to say. The soundtrack was ALMOST perfect, very fitting to the scenes, and very telling, music set the mood and made some scenes more enjoyable. The ost is actually also great, my favorite out of all thai series, c'mon slot machine and jeff satur, do i need to say more? The only thing i wish there was more variety, some tracks while being good where repeted too much for my likings.

AND now onto the real thing i want to discuss, if you're easily pressed read at your own risk:
i've seen too many times the words "romanticization" and "fetishization" being thrown around carelessly, without any proper explanation of why they feel it is so, and this is something that really irks me because these words are slowly starting to lose their meanings to become umbrella terms for whatever people feel like they mean. So let's go take a look at what the oxford dictionary says but before that a reminder of the warnings given at the beginning of every episode: "Characters, behaviors, places, agencies, occupations and events in this series are FICTIONAL and for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROMOTE ANY ACTION IN THE SERIES. VIEWER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED" These are the warnings that appear at the beginning of every single episode and they are the same warnings that some of y'all like to disregard every episode just to say "this series promotes..." No, this series has no educational purposes which means that it does not promote anything, and it has been written, said, and repeated over and over again by everyone at this point, directors and viewers alike. Do you take fiction too seriously? Are you one of those people who think FICTION has a direct impact on reality? Well, i'm sorry to inform you but that's on you, it's not the series' fault, and this is also why there's literally written "viewers' discretion is advised" a warning that you consciously decide to ignore just to complain about everything that you have been warned about (also, it's a MAFIA themed series, what the hell did you expect? pls someone enlighten me because i still don't understand the expectations you have for this series. The portrayal of high moral standards, standards that most of the time are also unreachable in real life? Pls don't make me laugh). If you see a warning that says "don't touch" but you decide to ignore it and proceed to touch it just to get hurt, whose fault it is? Exactly.
Now onto the definition of these 2 words:

- People claim that the series romanticizes abuse, rape, sa and so and so forth. Setting aside the warnings, let's take a look at the definition: "to romanticize means to make something seem more attractive or interesting than it really is" So by this definition and your claims the show makes abuse/rape/sa better and appealing than they actually are. Sure, but may i ask you where this happens? Are we talking about the dubious consent/sa/whatever you consider porsche and kinn's first time? If so let's talk about it. Some people say that it romanticizes abuse because they played some sort of romantic music in the background which might be true if context wasn't a thing. Was the director's intent really to romanticize sa? Or they were just showing what happened through porsche's eyes? The colors, the focal lens, everything gives a blurry, discontinued, an almost dream-like vibe which is related to porsche's state. The music and atmosphere were in tune with porsche's emotions. Also, are we forgetting that episode 5 exists? Are we forgetting that they clearly showed both porsche and kinn struggling with coming to terms with what happened and all the repercussions brought by that night? How did the series make what happened in episode 4 better when we see porsche literally breaking down? Because it clearly does not, you don't see what porsche has gone through because of that and say: "yeah i want that too! it's so cool!" I would have agreed on the romanticization argument if they left it at that and made it seem like nothing happened, but they did not because episode 5 exists for a reason. You can't take such a scene and ignore what it follows because what happens after determines if the intent was to gloss over the issue or not. Or are we talking about the abuse against pete perpetrated by vegas? Even that, how does the series make the abuse better or good? Can someone elaborate on that? And since we are on the topic, the vegaspete storyline is really complex, and no i'm not saying this to sound elitist or to make it seem deeper than it actually is, both vegas and pete are two very flawed and broken individuals (just like everyone else in the series) and as weird as it sounds they found a bit of "solace" in each other, something that does NOT stem from the abuse and if you think it is then i believe you missed the point of their whole story (and i'm sure y'all are also the same people who believe that vegaspete are in love when if you paid attention you wouldn't call that love, at least immediatly). So in conclusion, however you want to look at it, the show does not make anything better or more appealing, for every action there's a consequence and that's life, people make decisions, and sometimes they make shitty decisions and go along with them but it does not mean that the show romanticizes those decisions.

-Some of y'all have accused the show to fetishize m/m relationships but let's take a look at the meaning of the said word "to fetishize means to get sexual pleasure from thinking about or looking at a particular thing" (in an obsessive way). If you think that the series fetishizes m/m relationships just because it shows two grown men with a high sexual drive/libido acting according to it and having sex and showing their affection to each other physically, then there's the door, go back on twitter where nonsense is normalized. And also if the only thing you got to comment about from 14 episodes is the 5 nc scenes which are no longer than 2/3 minutes each, then i have bad news for you, because maybe you're the ones that watched it for the sex. Not to mention that every nc scene has a purpose, they tell us something about their dynamic, their conflict, their inner feelings, etc, they ARE important. I know that having multiple nc scenes that are not straight-up in yo face fanservice is strange but believe me when i say that if you left those scenes out, their story would lose something, and we as the viewers we would have lost some understanding of these characters. If people after watching this show decide to fetishize or overly obsess with m/m relationship irl (which is gross) that's on them, the show does not carry that responsibility, not when they were all very clear of the aim. The show is not responsible for people's actions and thoughts.

In conclusion, if you want a show with great cinematography, acting and a story that is character-driven then kinnporsche is for you (however keep in mind all the tw and the mature nature of it), if not that's completely fine i'm sure there are tons of series out there that can satisfy your taste <3

Most def worth the time

KinnPorsche is a thrilling rollercoaster of emotions that they have so gently wrapped in a stylish, action-packed mafia romance that delivers far more than just good looks and gunfire tihi. What truly elevates this show is the sizzling chemistry between its leads, Apo and Mile, who bring the characters of Porsche and Kinn to life with undeniable magnetism.
Apo and Mile's on-screen dynamic is effortlessly captivating and makes you want more of their banter— one moment you're laughing out loud at their playful banter, and the next you're holding your breath as they navigate high-stakes, life-threatening situations, and then you are back at them having a cute moment together. Their ability to switch from lighthearted comedy to intense drama and make both stand out is one of the peaks of the show. It’s this versatility that makes the series so engaging and emotionally resonant. The acting throughout the show is superb, not only from the leads but also the supporting cast, who add layers of depth and charm to the world around Kinn and Porsche. From quick-witted one-liners i.e from Tong to heart-wrenching moments of vulnerability with Bible, the performances are nuanced and memorable. If you're looking for a series that blends action, romance, suspense, and a fair share of chaos — all while keeping you emotionally invested — KinnPorsche is an absolute must-watch from me. Whether you're new to Thai BL dramas or a longtime fan of the genre, this show will pull you in with its bold storytelling and keep you hooked until the very end. Highly recommended for anyone craving a mafia romance that balances intensity with heart and humour.

Worth a Rewatch

Suspend reality and let yourself soar.

I had started this a couple years ago when it first came out, but never got to finish it. Going back now to watch it, the series stuck with me even in the first 6 episodes because I remembered so much, which to me is always a good sign.

I don't typically care much about music in a drama, but I actually really enjoyed it here. There was intensity when it needed to be there, and softness in other points. The music set the tone in a way that often doesn't happen for me. And of course, I love an over-the-top storyline, and can you really get more over the top than a messy family and the mafia?

But truthfully, what really sold this show for me was the support characters. Yes, the main couples and actors were lovely, but the supports just added so much to the show. Chan, the head bodyguard, despite having very little context or story, still gave such a strong character that I felt a connection to him. Then you have Boss, who I initially had a strong dislike for (as they wanted me to, I'm sure), but the character redemption was fabulous. Pair that with other characters such as Erika, Tankhun, and Arm. The cast created such a special story that made it worth so much more for me than just the title couple. And while I am considering Vegas a main, he isn't listed as such, but the way they took you on a rollercoaster with him was wild. He wins for most traumatized character by far, even without them showing you everything (which doesn't excuse his actions, mind you).

Finally, I have to give a mention to the final episode. The series had action sprinkled throughout, but then episode 14 hit and you got punched in the face with it and I loved that. It was everything it needed to be, except I am in agony over going back and forth about Korn.

Needless to say, enjoyable and one I would rewatch again.

A Rewatch

I’ll say this, the series was amazing but of course there’s many storyline/scenes in this series where i think we can agree aren’t okay. Besides that, i think you can appreciate the series for what it is, while also pointing out the wrong that’s done.
I really wasn't set on a favorite character, at first it was Pete but in the end it came to be him and Vegas. While their relationship is…let’s say all over the place to put it nicely, they really do understand each other from what they’ve both been through.
Aside from the storyline, the music had me really pulled in. Everyone who worked on this music did so well and i feel it really got the feelings across whenever it was played.

Very good drama

This drama have one of the spiciest scenes I've seen in BL dramas till now. Actors played it very well and fighting scenes are also great. It's a title I would re-watch because of those scenes and charismatic characters. I gave only 8 in general because I think the story developed to quickly and they would be able to make two seasons of it if only they would spend more time on each character. It would be one of the greatest BL drama of all time then for me. Music was nothing special. Not very good not bad, that's why 7. The comedy, action and spicy scenes were played very well by actors but I've seen better romance scenes that's why only 9. Otherwise it would be 10/10. Still I highly recommend to watch. Especially if someone is looking for spicy scenes.

Beautiful, serious, and full of dilemmas

Kinnporsche is full of beautiful moments, sad moments, serious moments, and a lot of dilemmas. How should Porsche get more money? Should he really join Kinn as his bodyguard? Should he be his love? Should he stay with the main family? There are so many multifaceted problems that make the characters feel alive. On top of this, the acting is top-notch. There is a lot of violence, blood, and gun scenes, definitely the most in any BL. The finale has a lot of twists as well.

Kinn and Porsche's relationship is special. They have a lot of tension and intimacy. The two actors do a great job at portraying them, and they show their love and passion very well on screen. I am extremely satisfied with the ending as well. The whole series is about as long as other Thai series, with 14 episodes of around 50 minutes. The run time is enough so that every character feels real and is realized well. I especially loved the side couple, it was so unexpected and while they were toxic in the beginning, they made each other heal and feel special. It is beautiful to see in a BL. I would recommend this BL if you are comfortable with violence and guns, as well as serious matters. This is not a sweet love story from beginning to end. There are a lot of family dilemmas and the main theme is based on mafias, so take that into account when watching. I personally do not like mafia stories too much and dislike seeing blood, but for some reason, I could bear watching this easily.

The main highlight of the series is the passion, the dramatic family ties, and the growth of their lives. The ending really ties everything together, and after watching the whole thing, It really feels like a big and important entity in the BL world.

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!!!
