Raised the bar immensely for future BL expectations.
Words cannot describe this show's magnificence; I love it. The chemistry between each cast member is outstanding. I love how P'Mile and P'Apo can stand there saying nothing, and you can see their emotions and all the unsaid words reflected through their eyes. This show has raised the bar for what I expect in terms of quality, acting, chemistry etc. I don't know how to watch other shows now if it does not reach the level that Kinnporsche has set. The cinematography is crazy; I cried like a baby in episode six, which extended to the side story we were blessed with. I have never watched a bl show that takes me through so many emotions in different time intervals; it almost feels like I am on a rollercoaster made of emotions. I cannot wait till Saturday for episode seven, but at the same time, I dread what might happen (dread and excitement are the order of the day when waiting for a new episode).Additionally, the pacing is terrific; it is not rushed but just right. It increases your anticipation (the thirst is real) for more. It's like slow torture, but you are still getting rewarded for suffering. The comedy and switch between scenes are pure genii. The unexpected comedic scene lifts your mood when for example, an episode consisting of a continuous grave situation that has you at the edge of your seat, almost tearing your hair out or even screaming. You forget your pain for a bit, only for another scene to make you cry again (I told you it's torture, but it hurts so good).
Overall, Kinnporsche is a very fantastic show with outstanding acting, a rollercoaster of emotions, a family (as you come to love the cast members and their interactions), and action (it is very thrilling). I am very thankful to the cast and crew, be on cloud for allowing for the showcasing of this masterpiece and the rest of all the fans (including casual viewers, passersby, etc.) that watch the show and let it trend almost daily. I cannot tell you how happy I am that every one of the cast is receiving attention and the crew members who worked so hard for us behind the scenes see the fruit of their labour; they deserve so much more.
The Big Question:
So do I recommend you watch this show? The short answer is HELL YEAH!!!!

not many episodes have been aired yet but still saturday is now my favourite day of the week. i look forward to it so much. the characters storyline acting production, the sountrack and effects are all incredible. i promise you will not regret watching this. the cast all suit the roles perfectly and are all very close. the story line is so good and such a nice changefrom normal bls, its dark and intresting (not that other bls are boring but for me personally i enjoy this type of show better) ive been waiting for this since the very first trailer came out a looong time ago so my expectations were high and i could easily been dissapointed but omg it was incredible and exceeded my expectations. please watch and support this show!Was this review helpful to you?

Worth the watch !
Amazing work ! Worth it !Story itself is done perfectly. You don't often meet plots that take you on such a roller coaster ride as this one does. Usually with whatever story , sooner or later you get the idea where the ending is going to get you. KinnPorche story however fools you until the very end. Whole time you watch this it's going to be ,, he's the bad guy.. no ! as it turns out.. the other one is the bad guy and the plot twists again and again and again until you actually get frustrated because it's suppose to end soon but you feel like, this confusion of yours is nowhere near to clearing up and that's the beauty of this show. Story wise .. it has everything.. HOTness overload from the start.. suspense .. guns blazing .. mysteries to solve, chemistry , insane humor, happy endings and not so happy endings. Full package. The only reason this show didn't get full on 10 out of me is because i myself felt like some parts of the show.. would have needed some more depth to it. Certain moments as they happen suddenly and out of the blue.. specially towards the ending , leave you to think ,, wait.. i'd like too see into it some more.. or like.. i would've liked to ease into it. I'd say that last two episodes feel like race to finish in many ways but never the less it doesn't disappoint. All that being said .. I do not however advise to take this show on as a first timer in a BL series world ! . Trust me.. this one tastes tons of times better if you've watched some softer BLs before that one . Why ? Because having everything all at once , is simply not healthy. Trust me, you'll thank me for that later ! ;)

A good production mafia bl
This is one of the heavier Thai bl. It’s not a romcom mafia but a rather more of a dark romance with comedy in it . Don’t expect a non toxic relationship in this show and I wouldn’t recommend to new bl fans unless they like the darker romance and are okay with SA / abuse.But starting off , the acting and cinematography are perfection. I felt the characters were real and not people just reading off their line . Apo is an amazing actor and best fitted to be the main character and Porsche is a likeable character. While I’m not a big fan of the second couple , Bible and Build had me on a rollarcoaster of emotion because of how convincing they are with their characters. I felt their pain when they’re hurt and cried for them. Tong did amazing with his character which is the best. The other cast Member were also great. The NC scene is one of the best in this industry from how it was shot to the chemistry of the couples
The negative is that the story went down hill basically after the best episode (Ep 6) when the main couple together. The characters logic went out the window from both main characters and how the second couple came to be is illogical. The show ended with some plothole that hasn’t been answer and no third couple which leads me to believe they were planning on doing a second season but outside drama/scandal happen.
It was a good series to watch and I enjoy the ride but with how heavy it is, I wouldn’t say this is a rewatchable show for me. I would watch it again with friends but not a comfort type of show .

SCREAMING
‼️ WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BUT NOT IN A OBVIOUS WAY ‼️Story: first of all, i would like to say that i didn’t read the novel so all i know from the storyline is what the drama told me, which was not much if i have to be honest. The story behind everything seems pretty big and i think in the drama there was a lot of things that were left behind so for me that is something that confused me a lot but overall 8.5/10;
Acting/Cast: 10/10 for real. Everyone did a great job, i loved all the actors and they lived they characters until they very end and that was amazing.
Music/OST: 10/10. I CANT STOP PLAYING THE INTRO IN MY HEAD. It’s literally amazing both the english and the thai version.
Rewatch value: wouldn’t watch again simply because normally i don’t like rewatching dramas that i had already seen.
More general information that i think is worth mentioning: When I first saw scenes from this drama i thought he was going to be really hard to watch simply because it’s obviously a crime/gangster type of drama, so before watching i really thought that i should been prepared for it to be really strong and have really heavy scenes, not gonna lie, they do have really heavy scenes but they also have a lots of funny moments and their fight scenes aren’t really that heavy (at least not for me). Although there were some triggering scenes, i didn’t find it as heavy and strong as i thought it would be. The last episode is kinda confuse and it doesn’t answer many questions on the contrary it leaves you with a lots of questions. I have mixed feelings with the way that it ends, it’s definitely something that i wasn’t expecting to happen that’s for sure. In the end i still didn't understood very well who was really lying and who was really telling the truth, which for me it's something that makes me frustrated. There are various things that were ignored, and although those things need to happen because the show can't have all details like the novel, i still think that there were a lots of things that weren't complete. In the end i really liked the drama, it has a lot of cute and funny moments, i love Kinn’s older brother, he is sincerely one of the best characters ever in the show and it’s already worthy to watch it because of him. Finally i give a 9.5/10 to this drama because it made me obsessed with it but the ending it’s what’s stopping me from giving it a 10/10.

The Quintessential Mafia Romance, But Gay!
Indeed the quintessential mafia romance story. Kinn and Porsche, besides the fact they took fuck-it-out instead of talk-it-out seriously, were cute, funny, and just an overall joy and exciting to watch. The actors had insane chemistry, and every sex scene was surprisingly graphic! The plot as a whole is incredible; every character was played phenomenally! I was angry, I was happy, I was heartbroken, I was laughing! I couldn't trust anyone, but Porsche and Porchay! Oh, Porchay! Kim needs to get his feeling sorted and why was the fact Kim had a 'Manner of Death' style murder bored behind a picture never addressed? Why was he so curious, other than him being nosy? Also, he ran from Porchay a lot, like dude get it together.Vegas is an f-ing psycho, there is no way Pete doesn't have Stockholm syndrome. You can not convince me otherwise; I refuse to believe Pete could fall for a crazy person like that. (Quick reflection; I still think that Pete was interacting with Vegas to make it out alive /survive, but after a while started to actually fall for him. Cause Pete took a calculated risk going into the minor family house to spy but certainly hadn't been interested in Vegas romantically until they began being emotionally vulnerable towards one another.)
Tankhun and Yok were highlights of comedy. Erica! Oh, that's a woman if I've ever seen one! I love her, and she deserved to live! The ending too! Porsche got the big gun he wanted!
The fact he's only on Kinn's side, even after he took over the minor family, struck my heart. I am sad about the scene with Porchay, Porsche and their mom cause I feel like she has no idea who they are and just seems confused. Also, was not a fan of the sexual assault from Kinn. Porsche was under the effects of a date rape drug and Kinn took advantage of Porsche. I'm glad it was talked about but that doesn't make it any more ok.

YOUR TYPICAL THAI BL
I must say... It's one of the best BL I've Seen in all Thai drama... no other bl measured up to it for and I can't find any..... The pairing for the actors and couple is lovable... the mafia plot as well as the romance plot is well balanced... Although some relationships were toxic even the leads had a toxic relationship at first... but you're end up living the drama... kinn carried out his role so well as smone portraying a mafia role. The supporting characters was also good nothing was left behind.. The other couple started off as very toxic but then you can't help but like them.... Even if they weren't given enough screentime. the story line wasn't bad but it was amplified by the way the actors played it out.... All I can say is that the drama is a 10+... Favourite character was Kim(Jeff satur) by the way....Was this review helpful to you?

So worth every minute!
Here's my disclaimer: .I'm a middle aged white woman and discovered BL quite late in the game. So quit reading if my thoughts wouldn't be worth your while.....all set? Ok.I loved, loved, loved this series! Just enough action to keep the plot moving, but with SO MUCH character development and depth. Just enough romance, but with sex scenes that actually make sense and, like the action sequences, keep the plot moving along. I watched this on IQiYi, and really enjoyed the option of watching all the little extras with the cast.
It's very well-put together - staged, sound, music, and just the right amount of silent pauses with the main cast, particularly Kinn and Porche. I loved how Porche went to his former boss to ask for dating advice, and how Pete sensitively gave Kinn advice on how to tone down his frustration when talking to Porche. Sure, there were corny bits done just for laughs, (weird almost kissing scene between sleeping Pete and Porche, for example) but all in all, the comedy was at least giggle-inducing.
My only critiques would be when Vegas speaks English out of the blue. Why? I mean, his diction and American accent are pretty decent, but like many tonal language speaking actors, the delivery was quite flat, which I find annoying and distracting. I was also confused by the trailer scenes not ever appearing in the actual series. What's that about? Were they playing around with creating scenes before actually putting the series together? I've tried googling deleted scenes to see if they were just cut for time, but no such luck. And finally, some of the plot twists after episode 8 were just extra - like the whole sequence near the end with the fake death of the dad and the sudden appearance of mom) but, hey, they had to fill in the 14 episodes, right? (I have this critique for many, many, many series. so nothing new to see here.)
I never watch things more than once - at least until I've forgotten the details. But I'm watching the first 8 episode for the third time at the moment.

Really strong, nearly perfect, I loved it
KinnPorsche the series has it all and I enjoyed every second. The storyline, acting, and pacing is great. I love the cast and their chemistry is great. I’ve never been one for action or mafia series but KP totally changed my mind. The BTS content is a wonderful addition.I hear and understand some of the legitimate critique of the series. I took off .5 for some problematic tropes but even those were handled pretty well considering how they were written in the novel version. I think these are far made up for in other ways in the series and I look forward to the growth of the characters. This is a mafia romance - the men in it are Bad Guys™️ which is important to know going in.
I will be watching again and again and anxiously awaiting the next season!

10/10 would 100% recommend bro this was my first BL and I love it with all my heart
Okay, maybe I'm crazy for saying this but I shipped VegasPete throughout the entire show... Like, you know in either the first episode or just somewhere near the very beginning when Vegas quite CLEARLY winked at Porsche but Porsche turned to Pete and said it was aimed at him, Pete looked so smug and it was so cute. It was so subtle but it just made me hope for something to happen between them two. And then, all those times when Vegas caught Pete stalking him, just confirmed what I thought. To be honest, usually I google what happens in a show because I want to know what I'm setting myself up for, especially if it has a sad ending because I just can't deal, but for KinnPorsche, I didn't google anything. I felt like if I found out VegasPete didn't end up together I'd cry myself to sleep. And, yes, I did cry for an hour and 17 minutes straight watching those VegasPete scenes, but it was worth it for the resolution. I lowkey feel so bad for the friend I spammed with 479 messages on the entire storyline of KinnPorsche that day because it was constant floods of messages as I was binging it. I literally finished it in one go and when I looked back on our Discord chats, I literally saw a huge window of time where I didn't send her anything because I was crying too hard. I couldn't even enjoy the KinnPorsche pool NC scene because I could barely see through my tears after witnessing such gut-wrenching acting from Bible and Build. Like, I have no idea how I still shipped Pete with Vegas while I was watching all the torture and I felt so bad for Pete but I couldn't just shake the feeling that something MIGHT happen, and it did. You can't tell me that even when Pete was getting practically obliterated, there was still sexual tension and it was 100% PURPOSEFUL. Don't get me wrong, I did constantly worry that they wouldn't get their happy ending, especially after Vegas got shot (I cried so hard then), but my hoping worked.After yapping about VegasPete so long, I think I should talk about the other side couple. Why did no one tell me I'd love KimPorchay this much? I didn't actually feel this much love towards them as I was watching the show but after finishing it, I somehow became obsessed. I'm so angry they didn't end up together like everyone else, Porchay deserved it the most out of everyone, he was basically the only green flag (apart from maybe Pete, and you can't tell me otherwise). Off topic, why is everyone labelling Pete as a red or yellow flag? He was the victim. And, yes, he went back to Vegas all those times but that doesn't mean he isn't a green flag? If anything, he's an entire forest. He was one of the best bodyguards, so cute and would never betray the people he worked for ever. Even after Vegas hurt him that badly, he still comforted him when he was upset and never did anything to harm anyone else. If you dare try to bring up the fact he shot Vegas, just take into account the fact Vegas literally KILLED Pete, only to bring him back to life again and then torture him more, and the only reason he shot Vegas was to protect him from the other bodyguards and try to prevent him from taking over the main family. He shot him in the shoulder to make sure it wouldn't kill him. That cannot be a red flag. Anyway, back onto KimPorchay. I feel like anyone who resents Kim for leaving didn't understand them at all. Like, okay, I understand where you're coming from but didn't he leave because their relationship would only complicate Porchay's life further? His older brother was already the leader of a mafia family and he didn't want to put him in any more danger or bring him any closer to the centre of it because it would literally implicate him further? He wanted to give Porchay as good a life as he could, he just didn't understand that leaving wasn't the solution. I don't hate Kim for breaking Porchay's heart, I just wish he would've gone back to him after realising his mistake instead of just sending that song. It was sweet but nowhere near enough to make Porchay realise he did actually love him all along. Porchay literally quit his dream, dyed his hair, started drinking and partying and ruining his life all because of Kim and I'll always feel so sad about that. I miss the cute little Porchay from the start of the show. Barcode portrayed him so well though and I'm glad him and Jeff are still in contact. I can't wait for Happy Ending, if it gets released. Hopefully, it's not another Wuju Bakery or I'll cry.

It is a yes for me!
Let's be real.. It's a good story, maybe some action, considering that should be a Mafia series, i was waiting more power role fights, more raw scene like the beginning when Kinn is dealing with the Italian. But then the mafia bubble is changed to "the adventures of Porsche, the new bodyguard" Some scenes are hilarious, Apo & Mile are so good in their role, but scenes like this I'd been fired on the spot for half ot these..the drama with Porsche dealing with the crude beginning of his relationship with Kinn is well depicted, but unfortunaly it seems so quickly done that makes me wonder what Porsche was really thinking about all.Kinn is well portrait by Mile, but his reluctance at the beginning with "everyone wants me dead" crushed when he gives immediately in with Porsche.. There's no real trust issues, there're misunderstandings that are just solved some moments after.
Now, on the other level, Vegas and Pete.. Bible and Build made an outstanding job for these roles, and their interactions on the screen are stunning. The story of Vegas and Pete starts in a terrible way.. torture and are not my thing, but here is mixed up with the portray of phisical and mental abuse suffered by both men. Pete has found a way to deal with it trough his inner positivity, even if that is just a blanket to cover what he really feel. He smile even when he doesn't want to, just not to disappoint others or being a burden for the people he's living with. Vegas on the other hand Is so twisted by his father, the Mafia's world he has to deal with and the messed up relationship with the main family that even years of therapy can solve his issues. And then he catch Pete and everything falls in an another level.. Is far from healed, but he tries his best to face all these reality together strieving to be just him. That been said is remarkable the acting of these two if I think that they are not the main leads and their story has an arc of 5 more or less eps and I loved it for his complexity.
Acting: 9, even though for Bible and Build I'd say 10 with merit
Music: 9.. Jeff is spectacular and "Freefall" is really a great song
Story: ok, there are some plot holes, but if you just enjoy the show it doesn't really matter.
Rewatch value? Yes!
