"The" BL
Basically, everything I feel watching KinnPorsche (La Forte) was already reviewed here. All the positive ones, I mean.But, this series is also important in the way they show that sexuality, the homosexuality is completely accepted, or better: completely normal in KinnPorsche world. And homosexuality including love, affection and sex. It's not an issue. For example, Mr. Korn being pleased about the relationship between Kinn and Porsche. Even in the Minor Family it's not a issue. And impossible don't mention Vegas-Pete (two of the best construction of characters and of the powerful acting by two first-roles actors, Bible Wichapas Sumettikul and Build Japan Puttha). But all cast deserves recognition.
Search for videos with the cast talking about sexuality, very interesting, informative and totally anti-prejudice.
Talking about the cast, it's impossible don't mention the acting. It's amazing. And KP is the very first role off the majority off the actors: Bible and Build for example.
And impossible not mention the production, it's basically like a first class cinema movie, the stunning cinematography, the soundtrack: Free Fall, by Slot Machine express exactly the vibe of the show.
Well, KinnPorsche it's an experience.

It's a new level in thai-dramas, acting skills of the cast are super high. locations, music, colours, aesthetic, story - the highest level.The staff did a greatest job, the story from the novel was changed and it's twice better. It's a real masterpiece, I want to say thanks for the whole staff and cast, you are amazing
I really hope that they will give us season 2 and we won't be disappointed, because this company can make a great things. I really wait for any news about them and I want to continue follow them

Unique and well-played series
I liked this BL a lot, because the story is different from other BL's. You could really see BOC putted a lot of effort in it and it came out well too. Only I think the story went a bit out the way because mostly you saw Kinn and Porsche doing lovey things instead of really solving problems that were going on. I think the acting was really good! When I watched the BTS I saw they putted a lot of effort in it once again you saw that they were concentrating on doing the best they are able to do and the camera angles even made it better! I liked the music too but sometimes they could've putted it away like in the sex scene of Vegas and Pete, like we were allowed to hear Kinn and Porsches moans then we are allowed to hear Vegas and Petes too. But the music of the scenes with tension and sadness it was done really well. Myself I would really rewatch it for the unique story it was really worth those two years of waiting. And the sex scenes were also really good.Was this review helpful to you?
All the hype isn't there for nothing.
I'm here to say, this is by far the BEST show I've watched that really brought something to the audience, serving nothing but talent, striking visuals, and excellent cinematography. Since I've seen some people be really 'bitter' about this show's morals and this being only s*x scenes and whatnot, zip it up and see for yourself if it's worth the hype or not.It's a Mafia BL and, surprise surprise, supposed to be dark and intense but they DO NOT justify the grey morality moments AT ALL. Some people jump to conclusions way too soon for their good.
It's not always required for one guy to be 'feminine' in a gay relationship, portraying a 'female' because that's bullsh*t. Everyone may vary and not necessarily have a 'damsel in distress' type persona. Men in this series stood up for themselves and needed no 'man in shining armor to lock them away in some tower for safety'.
Kinn and Porsche give Alpha×Alpha vibes that are SO rare and such a switch up from what's mainstream, I feel that's why it's special.
For me, it was worth every second each Saturday I stood awake for the episode release. I'd wax poetry any day about how MileApo's chemistry and the production team just delivered every single time. Unlike some eye-candy engaging in awkward attempts of romance catering solely to the enjoyment of hetero women, using taboo themes as plot devices no matter how wrong they seem, (yeah I'm calling out this one show that was way more hyped than it delivered) everyone went in depths to portray what they're supposed to, went into the character and not just for the 'camera'. You could see in behind the scene and what the actors themselves say, they have even had hard times breaking away from their character after a scene.
BibleBuild hit the nail spot on with their screentime, despite being short, had quite the impact as Vegas and Pete quickly became one of the most loved side couples in the BL industry. As well as KimChay, though it would've been better if they had more scenes to develop properly.
How unique and powerful is the characterization here!!! Literal art for some scenes.
Having a few OSTs that make you FEEL, especially 'Why Don't You Stay' is GOLD and matches just well with the scenes they pair with.
Storywise, there were some cliche spots, yet chemistry on and off camera just somehow makes it up for me. Everyone looked good, brought justice and liveliness to their characters in the best way, making it a hell of a journey for more than 3 months. Watching Kinnporsche was one of the best choices I made. The dramatic fandom is the cherry on top, ngl.
It ended yesterday with EP 14 being the longest and in my opinion one of the best ones. It somehow feels empty now and I have no sense of what I'm gonna do next lmao, but with the discussions being brought up about some obvious plot holes and secrets that are yet to be revealed, I'm crossing fingers for a Season 2.
I NEED S2 to survive.
All the hype isn't there for nothing.

the best show? yes. A masterpiece ? Definetly. A piece of art? What else could it be?
What to say else but a masterpiece, reviewing this series seems so easy because there are so many good things to say about it but so hard at the same time because I can't express how much this felt like something out of this world. Beauty, that's a way to explain it, pain, that's another. If I could tell how much I loved this series I would want to say everything at once. The production is a piece of art, the casting are talented gems, the music makes you feel like you're out of this world, and the colors are stunning.I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this happen. Thank you for giving us this, thank you for everything it means for the fans. This felt like the best time of my life every Saturday.
Hope for a season 2, you have to stay...

I dont think it hit the hype.
Its clearly an unpopular opinion right now because everyone thinks this is revolutionary, and I dunno if ill get ratioed with a bunch of _you're entitled to your wrong opinion_ comments lol, but yeah.Till ep 3
I was incredibly excited for this series. Im glad we graduated engineering finally, leads have chemmy, most importantly the trailers were like art films.
And i still like that, even the finished series just screams money, but tactfully, no tackiness, just great cinematography. And COLORS.
So 9 for cinematography, ill put it in the realm of ITSAY(they have the same person on the cinematography if im not wrong?)
The actual show? Boring, standard at best, at least so far. Im not saying its bad but for ALL the hype its gotten, it still seems like a standard bl MINUS all(well...most of) the fanservice(for now), just corni unfunny slapstick(?) and slightly !emotional! filler. And random kiss at the end(GOOD kissing tho ill give em that too)
Which is ok. Ish.
Maybe itll get better. Perhaps. I'm aware they havent really gotten into the plot yet. If this review sucks, too bad , Im just really trash at explaining my thoughts but tldr basically: boring, standard at best, doesn't fit the hype(so far)
I'll probably drop it but have fun watching i guess.
Edit: watched ep 4
?? I don't know whether it's considered rape or what but Porsche guy being drugged out of his brains made this uncomfortable.
It's also very very very explicit which also made me uncomfortable for no reason because I can imagine how awkward it is for them to film lol.
At least it's less tryhard 'funny' this episode so I'll consider that a slight improvement.
That said nothing really has happened yet plot wise, save for komedi.
Unless that whole thing with the drug thinghas any relevance beyond being a convenient set up for seggsy content. Ah we have finally descended into the fanservice.
Will I watch the rest of this? Of course I will, even if it's just to shit on it :p but I'll wait for it to pick up on the plot and comment!:::
I'd rate it a 6
*Watched ep 5
I'm liking this alot better. Much of the garbage humour is done away with, I appreciate that. They made Porsche angry about the dubcon thing and the general disrespect, also appreciated that.
And why is vegas so....🌝 attractive
It's still kind of bland in my opinion so I'll just keep it at 7
Also the pacing? Has anything really even happened yet? I'm aware the drugging is serious stuff but at this point it just feels like a random isolated event right now and if they go at this pace they'll be rushing through some of the later parts
Maybe the kidnap scene brings more to this, of course

Free Fall into the world of KinnPorsche
There is a massive shift in the world and everything around us. We can see this change in almost anything and everything. One of them is in the entertainment industry. As networks have woke up to the fact of what the viewers want to see and desire, they have started to accept many types of genres that reflect not only their own lifestyles but the lives of those around them and what they all go through. Everyone’s story and voice are now given importance. This is where they have started to accept many shows, movies and books that have massive incorporation of LGBTQ characters and storylines.One of those types of series is called the ‘KinnPorsche’, which is a 2022 Thai action romance drama television series based on a web novel. The series follows Porsche as he finds himself drawn into the mafia underworld by Kinn Theerapanyakul, who are the main leads, which is played by Mile and Apo.
There is so much rollercoaster of emotions in this. From having the characters and actors pulling you into it and having your soul sucked dry. As each week passes by, they leave you wanting and waiting for more. Not just the two man leads, but all the other actors and characters make sure that they leave a mark in your heart. Be it the theme song, or the setting, everything captivates you and sends you into their world. And I am so glad that I have picked this up!
This is one such show that made me fall in love with the Thai series all over again even though I am from a totally different culture. And that speaks volumes, to have an audience from all around the world. KinnPorsche is doing that. As days pass, I am sure that this will definitely be one such show that will keep growing. To anyone who wants some action and boys love drama, pick this one up. You definitely will not regret it. Especially when the men in them are all such great talents. So what are you waiting for? Pick it up!

Surprised
I thought this series got cancelled? when the other production company said they ran out of funds or something like that and the writer quitting. I am actually in shock this get made. This new one looks soo expensive, they must have spend a huge budget.What actually shocked me the most is the acting In this series, everyone was on point I will continue to watch to see how this goes .
I love the guy playing porche, he is my spirit animal. Soo bubbly . I love all the cars they used as a car lover .

DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR TIME!!
I never write reviews but I had to because I’m actually shocked at the number of negative reviews, for me personally this is one of the best BLs I have watched, I honestly don’t know what people are expecting from this drama to have such a negative view on it?As this drama is based on a book the writers and directors have done a great job in cutting out parts of the book to make it fit in 14 eps and still keeping the flow of the story.
Every episode goes by so quick it’s painful to wait for a week and I’m also guilty of skipping parts in series that I find boring BUT not once have I ever skipped anything in KinnPorsche!!
What I look for in a drama is for it to be entertaining, good acting and good OSTs and for me KinnPorsche definitely has it so I strongly recommend to everyone GO WATCH IT!! It’s honestly so good you won’t regret it 😌🫶🏼

Amazing show. Beyond my expectations and mind blowing.
Where to begin. Excellent cast,cinemtography and production. It is a fast paced ,funny,Action packed and Romance BL drama.The chemistry of Kinn and Porche is top notch. The plot was interesting from the beginning without any boring moments. We not only root for main couple but also the supporting cast who have done wonderful job.Porche was a relatable character as he struggled to make ends meet but fell for his boss Kinn .Mile and Apo's performance is praise worthy. Not only that but,Apo's performance makes me feel that no one could have been a better choice for this role .
Mafia boss Kinn was intimidating in the beginning but we soon get to know that he is a gentle vulnerable soul. His skilled bodyguards come handy in dire situation but at home they are goofy and relaxed. Porche's friendship with other bodyguards and his drunk moments are memorable scenes to watch.
Tankhun is a funny and weirdo brother but he is the MVP of the show. His scenes are filled with drama and funny banter. No actor could have played Tankhun better than P'tong.
Thats the beauty of the show we cant imagine some other actor playing these characters .Props goes to the casting director.
I am short of words now. So go ahead and watch this amazing show.

Expectations fulfilled
When the trailers were released initially, the storyline was action filled and intense. The actual end result is still very intense with more comedy involved than originally projected. The acting is excellent. The comedy interjects a change of pace between the more intense moments. I understand employing Porsche as a fresh element hopefully not influenced to spy on the "main" family. The first kiss and the first sexual encounter were both under the influence of alcohol and later drugs. The lack of clear consent in the sexual encounter was concerning, but the sexual tension and sensuality were intoxicating. Porsche's frequent drunkenness is somewhat unbelievable since his role of bodyguard is so critical to Kinn's well-being. However, Porsche's playfulness and mild contempt for authority is an appealing part of his character. Kinn seems narcissistic but occasionally the storyline gives an impression of a deeper story. I'm only 5 episodes into the series, but I'm definitely hooked.Was this review helpful to you?
