TOTALLY WORTH THE HYPE
KinnPorsche is not your regular BL. It actually has a engaging storyline. Even though the plot has so many flaws, it was quite entertaining. I am not big fan of action but the action sequence in this series was awesome. I totally regretted watching this drama while airing as this is a binge worthy show. I started watching it because i liked Porsche but in the end fell in love with Vegas. Pete and Vegas love story was messed up but i really love the pair. Kinn and Porsche has great chemistry. Unlike other bl, both the main character were strong and both were able to protect each other. There was no damsel in distress situation. The actors did the great job. There were quite too many steamy scenes. If you were not into it, this show is not for you. I did not like the last ending though as I felt something was missing. Overall, this show is totally worth your time.Was this review helpful to you?

I'm not here to talk about Kinn and Porsche
I've seen Kinn and Porsche's story so many times, but I keep coming back because of Vegas and Pete. I have a soft spot for Pete, he was a good fit for this character and his smile is just perfectionWe all know Vegas and Pet have a very toxic relationship because it starts with a basic kidnap and captivity, however, there's just something about these two that drew us in, and I think it was the chemistry. Their physical and mental chemistry is just one of the best that there is, it's crazy how a show can make us fall in love with a crazy relationship.
I think it's different in that you see them gradually falling in love with each other throughout the captivity because in any other show the "victim" is forced to fall in love to stay alive. Still, these two do it on their own, especially Pete because Vegas fell for Pete first, you can see it if you rewatch and look at the way Vegas looks at Pete during their encounters. Still, Pete fell harder just from getting to know Vegas and understanding him. Pete had an opportunity to run away but he chose to stay with Vegas.
Also in the last episode when we thought Vegas died, I did not know there was an ending for these two until I reached it and it was so good, I think these two need a spin-off or another series for just them because again, their chemistry is off the charts.
Side note: how did they not know Pete never came back? It's technically the Major's family's fault for Pete falling in love because they took so long to realize he was gone.

That opening theme I love it
WELL. I finished this series in less than 24 hours. The first episode had me a little iffy but I was sucked in fast but iffy probably just cause I haven’t watched this genre much. But this series was ALL over social media even when I follow tons of Kdrama accounts so I knew something was going on with it.Is it just me getting old or did all the actors look like babies??? But they are my age??? I’m getting old ;_;
First I love that opening song and it popped up during a lot of kickass action scenes. This drama had lots of steamy scenes, cute stuff, romantic stuff and funny stuff. It also had tons of actions, some scenes of torture and intended/suggested rape or molestation for trigger warning. But it also had some awesome ass characters. I love characters that can bend and change and change how you feel about them.
First enter Porchse badass sexy bartender ladies man for sure seems real smooth when he enters on that first episode and he is smooth as shit when he saves Kinn but as soon as he enters the main house he becomes a clumsy idiot who keeps getting into trouble. I was like whoa what is this change and what has befallen you my dude. Kinn also was kind of badass and smooth and poise and then when they later showed moments of being not too bright in survival and abit directionally challenged and abit aloof when trying to be a cute boyfriend. Anyways these two main characters had many different sides to them not just one sided cardboard cutout. Loved it.
I also loved all the side relationships but it also made me want like multiple series and TO KNOW MORE. But I also was kind of confused about the Kim and Chay relationship because Chay was a fan and came off a little obsessed and stalkerish but I’m assuming at that point they were a lot closer as friends but they just didn’t show that on screen because later they showed all those Polaroids. I was confused bc it seemed he confessed his feelings they spent a night together and then he was kidnapped and they didn’t see each other again so I was like where did they take these couple photos. So I’m assuming they had this mystery relationship off screen that we were suppose to just know or understand? That’s fine. I wish they had more screen time and it flowed better. It felt weird then getting together in the beginning and cringey but later it was cute.
Vegas and Pete. Oh mg god. Ultimate favorite but horribly wrong in the beginning and fucked. There was always some weird chemistry with them. I love how Vegas changed even in the end when he came to the main house I still didn’t hate him. Cuz the time he spent with Pete made me not hate him anymore.
So I need like another series for Pete&vegas and also like Kim & Chay
Thanks please watch

Lives up to the expectations?
I very much vividly remember how excited I was for the series to air when I only got snippets and how I felt my heart drop when it got cancelled. And then the unspeakable relief when the series got picked up by some other company.It has to be said that my expectations were SUPER high based on the trailers, so it was really gonna be hit or miss. I read a couple of reviews and comments here and got a little less excited to begin the series, because they were quite bad.
I must express how happy I am that I didn't decide not to watch this, because it would be such a waste!
Yes, KinnPorsche doesn't make sense here and there, but those things are just something I don't mind considering the fact that this series was created for pure entertainment and damn, people, it's from the mafia background, how realistic or how much sense that should make? Come onnnnn.
Overall, do I recommend this series? YES. Does it live up to the expectations? Despite not being completely perfect, YES, it does.

WOW
Okay wow, Kinnporsche is sooooo good. I thought it was all talk but no. It took me a couple episodes to get into it but once I did I was HOOKED. This is such a high quality BL. I will be honest...I had to skip through the torture scenes later in the show...for good reasons. The acting in those scene was just so good I could not stomach it, it was almost scary. I don't think I'll be rewatching this show, mostly because it is so intense and detailed. I tend to want to rewatch shows to relax and therefore lean toward more fluffy easy watching shows.Was this review helpful to you?
A great start, unpolished end
The series was fantastic, started off really well. The push and pull between the main characters really worked. However, it really bugs me that no-one realised that Pete was suffering from the Stockholm Syndrone.... It was just completely overlooked... Shocking, but not surprising because this series just glosses over hell of a lot of things. But overall, it is worth a watch. I especially like Porche and Kinn's smile is a killer!!! But honestly, it's Vegas's English and his accent that gets me going.... Oooh !!! The heat it generates... Especially when he says to Pete, 'Do you know how sexy you are?' God knows I want someone to say that to me!!!Was this review helpful to you?
KinnPorsche is truly one of the most distinctive BL series out there
KinnPorsche is truly one of the most distinctive BL series out there. The lead characters are genuinely captivating and compelling. Their impressive performances pull you right into the series. Their chemistry is also spot on, especially noticeable in some scenes like the kissing scenes: https://youtu.be/cQuLRxlBWmM, and there are some quite seductive scenes: https://youtu.be/QAM39xb0-sY, to provide some examples. If you're looking for a thrilling adventure with a mafia theme and male leads, then you should definitely watch it. Check out the scenes I recommended and decide whether or not it piques your interest.Was this review helpful to you?
One word: unhinged.
I had expectations going into this based on how people talked about, and they were mostly met. I expected action, decent budget and acting and mafia stuff etc. What I did not expect was how funny it was?? Honestly Tankhun stole every scene he was in, and the side characters really made the show for me.Vegas,,, everyone always talked about Vegas, and he was one of the reasons I started watching because I wanted to see Bible in something else while waiting for the last episode of 4 Minutes to air. I can't believe it was his first acting job, he really did so well, honestly so satisfying to watch.
However, ultimately the amount of sexual assault, and just scenes with uncomfortable power dynamics was too much for me. The second half of the drama was really hard to get through, especially as the plot got increasingly messy, and I just don't think it was necessary whatsoever. A fun watch, but not something I would watch again.

Love Love Love It!
For my first review, I decided KinnPorsche has to be it!Story: I think the story was very well played out. Everything flowed together, from Kinn and Porsche’s first meeting, Porsche’s initial time as a bodyguard, the tension that was shown throughout between the Minor and Major families, and the connection Porsche has with both families. There was no filler scenes or scene that seemed out of place, in my opinion. I have watched many shows with scenes I felt like we’re pointless to the plot and didn’t really bring anything but frustration. Everything in KinnPorsche adds up and makes sense to the plot and the characters.
Of course there are a few things I found a little frustrating that I wish they would have added more to. Without adding spoilers, Kim’s storyline I felt was lacking (just a tad) but if there was a season 2, I feel like they could explore his reasoning of his actions a bit more. While watching Kim throughout the series, I always had a guess of why he did the things he did (especially after we discover exactly what he found toward the end), but I just wish they would’ve taken just a few more scenes to explain his own reasoning and what it meant to him. I feel like though, even without the full explanation, it doesn’t take away much from the overall story. It does leave room for a second season though!
Also, this show is a mafia show with many adult themed, and real-life scenarios. I see many people judging the actions of certain characters or mentioning toxic characters or relationships as well, but just remember that those things can and have happened in real life so it’s not as far-fetched as people make it out to be.
Acting/Cast: I’m really impressed with the casting for this and think each actor embodied their characters perfectly. I haven’t read the books yet but from what I’ve read on Twitter, Instagram, etc. about the characters from the books and watching the series in full, I can say the casting directors did an excellent job!
Music: The only thing I can say about the music is that every time I listen to it, I feel like I’m gonna cry and have the urge to restart the series again! So so good!
Rewatch Value: Definitely will be rewatching this plenty of times!!!
Overall: 10/10 Love love looove it! It’s a great mix of drama, comedy, action, and romance with amazing acting skills from each cast member, amazing music, and of course, a cast full of cuties! :) I highly recommend this show and I’m looking forward to watching each project, old and new, from each of these actors!

Each couple have different developments and angst
The acting, video work, audio work, editing and all is superb! You can definitely tell money has gone into this project! I love how warm the brothers and familial love literally makes me cry because I was soo touched. The plot twist is 💯💯 It's a twist after twist and I was totally shocked by the truth. Let me talk about the couples.Mile and Apo have really good chemistry and their characters have good development. I'm just a bit confused sometimes at sudden mood change scenes like when they're fighting and suddenly get aroused, have sex become happy again. One toxic trait is that they both don't really address their issues and get it through their head that they can solve their shit on their own like..อะไรวะ??
As for VegasPete, we've seen how unapologetic and cruel Vegas is but near the end, we can see how he is just a wounded villain with a soft spot for delivering pain. A villain who develops a soft spot for a man with the courage to take that pain and give it back to Vegas with acceptance and love. I was scared to death thinking Vegas had died and left Pete alone but thank God that they have a chance to be together and move on with their lives.
KimChay. OH.MY.GOD. My favorite couple. The angst and feels. I was bawling when Chay found out and ask if he really loves him. Kim doesn't hate his family but knows that his father kept a lot of secrets and felt like he doesn't really love him. Living in a mafia family gave him trust issues until Chay came along. I kinda understand Kim because he never trusts anyone but, when he met chay, the epitome of pure good kid with no lies and deceit behind those big round eyes, he's confused. And even though he loves him, he can't risk being with him because of his family matters. Kim is so cool for protecting Chay secretly, and I know how sad Chay is because it's his first love, and he felt like he was deceived. Bro actually blew his 2nd chance when Chay asked if he loves him. While Kim didn't have the balls to say yes, the man broke my baby's heart so cruelly. Kim don't dare to love Chay but have the audacity to claim rights to protect him? (I'd say YEAY but my baby cried enough). He realised his mistake a tad bit too late but I really hope homie don't give up cause they're my fav couple.
Overall, VegasPete and KimChay made me cry a lottt. Especially the part where Kim sends the why don't you stay song and Chay, no matter how angry, hurt or disappointed, he can't bring himself to delete the vid. I really really hope that there's a season 2 or continuation for kimchay's story. Make it soft, fluffy but also with angst and feels
