So good!!!
Damn this was good!! Till the end I couldn't guess if Kinn's father is truly telling the truth. Also just before he was shot Vegas's dad seemed to have something important to say. So my guess is that they both messed up and only told their own embellished version of the real story. Also I don't believe the reason why Porsche's mom can't speak is cause she took pills...That's just shady! That aside I'm glad KimChay didn't end up together...Kim just rub me the wrong way. VegasPete is a hot mess but they kinda work. And kinnPorshe is just hella hot. Now for the sake of being noisy just like Kim and that for no particular reason I gathered infos about the characters:Kinn = cruel and kind
Porshe = strong and stupid
Tonkhun = the best!
Big = so mad he died!
Ken= good thing he died!
Pete = pitiful and loyal
Vegas = cruel and pitiful
Chay = sweet and useless
Kim = I don't like him
Korn = can't figure him out
Gun = just shoot him
Porsche's mom = Whatever her "family" did to her, she is broken beyond repair!
Me = I'm so sad it's over! season 2 please!
Congratulation to all cast member! It was so much fun watching this series. Well done!!!

Amazing Show
Honestly there’s so much to appreciate about this show, but I’ll keep it short, the acting is top tier, the music is amazing, the story is spectacular, the chemistry is immaculate, the tension is always there, there isn’t a second where you aren’t at the edge of your chair waiting to see what’s gonna happen next or just having a plot twist out of nowhere. I absolutely loved this show, and I love how at the end everytbing was resolved and everyone was happy and where they should be (including Vegas and Pete which I wanted them to be together in the end so bad and I was hoping he didn’t die) and thank god he didn’t because that was one of the best relationships with that chemistry omg. Of course nothing beats Kinn and Porsche and their chemistry and relationship is just WOW! Overall amazing show and so worth watching, only thing is it’s a little long but honestly they do an amazing job at making a hour pass by like it’s a minute of how entertained and concentrated you will be.Was this review helpful to you?
A feast for BL fans and a good meal for the thai drama fans.
I loved every single frame of Kinnporche. The screenplay, acting, color, editing, and sound, everything were so excellent. From episode one to fourteen, I was so much hooked on this series. I loved it, dude. The actors are insane! they slayed it. The writing of this drama especially was beyond good. The intimate scenes are the best of the best, they never shyed away from it too. Overall, it's a visual treat. A feast for BL fans and a good meal for the Thai drama fans. Also, the representations and symbols...this is cinema.Was this review helpful to you?

Outstanding!
I didn't expect this when I first signed up for KinnPorsche since the novel is way off balanced for me. However, the series takes it own way of executing everything and is awesome in all level! Shit, I feel all characters even Erika. This must be the most satisfied episode Penultimate and Finale in any series I've watched in my recent memory! Live on par with BBS and The Severance level!I love how they crafted Kinn to be more human than in the novel. I love how they made me feel for the character that I didn't like at all like Vegas and the relationship that I kept on screaming NOOOOOO between Vegas and Pete. I love how they don't make Porsche's attitude a toxic one. I love Tankhun for just being Tankhun which is very weird since I thought I would be annoyed by this character so much when he first appeared. I love how they give Kim justice on showing his skill as one of the three mafia family new generation members. I just love Erika without having to give a freaking damn reason! And yes, I love every characters, main or sides (except you know who). They all have such an amazing chemistry and backup stories! I loved and enjoyed every episode as in EVERY! However, if I have to vote for my top 3, it's EP6, EP13 and EP14.
In EP6 - I have no idea how could they make a 2 men stand up show become very much addicted, moved and touched at the same time without getting bored AT ALL! Their chemistry is off the chart. The director could really use this single episode opportunity to explore the personality of Kinn and Porsche amazingly and took us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Mile and Apo portrayed Kinn and Porsche in a way that I don't feel like acting but 'being' is the word that is right for them.
In EP13 - I couldn't stop thinking of how could they do this. Previously, I felt no regret or pity for Vegas at all. I'd never rooted for Vegas and Pete relationship at all and I couldn't see myself crying for Vegas or VegasPete relationship like ever! There was no slightly sign that they would make me cry 'til I lost my breath like this. The 'Contradiction Song' is so beautifully written in both lyrics and melody. I ended up crying my shit off for Vegas and Pete in a way that I wouldn't expect before. Bible and Build performance in that scene alone is an award tier and no one can talk me out from that idea.
The graveyard confession scene is also very touching and beautiful. The interaction between Kinn and Porsche and the way that we all know Porsche hid some major things from Kinn that could lead to trust issue is so real. When Apo changed his facial expression after Mile talked the line about trust, I couldn't rest easy from there on. And the ending, OMG! my worst fear ever is the bloodline issue. I was not in the right state of mind to take that troll anymore.
EP14 - My gosh!! This is how you end the series with a bang. This is a season Finale that is very rare to see. Before KinnPorsche, I felt satisfied by the ending of Apple TV+ Original 'Severance' as it kept me on edge and I thought for a second that this would be unbeatable for long. How I was wrong about that, few months later and I found KinnPorsche Finale that kept me on edge with twisted and actions and emotion until the real final second of the episode. The confusion created in the Finale is legit and is a leading to Season 2. However, they did really close all important issues that they started in Season 1 within the Finale so I don't feel like being left in the middle of the ocean like most of the series I've watched.
The action sequences are executed very well. I like how they could bring all the characters together in this madness of season finale. They didn't leave anyone behind, not even Erika. I love how they created the fight style that is very suitable for Tankhun and Arm. It's so believable and satisfying. I love how they gave Kim a solo fight scene that is so kick ass cool!! OMG!!! I freaking love everything in the Season Finale.
All in all, 9.5/10. I don't say it's perfect but the way it's being executed make me forget about every flaw here and there in the 14 episodes long series. I love it at maximum.

A Fun but Muddled Mess of a BL
I am a little surprised to how popular this BL series is. The popularity could be the result of how sexual this show is and how different it is from your typical BL. I really enjoyed the first half of this series. However, halfway through, the series seems to lose its steam and the plot. When Kinn and Porsche became a couple and had BL couple-like moments that were cute, it felt completely out of place. Moreover, the main couple became less interesting than the character of Vegas.A major problem with this show is that the characters are not consistent with who they are throughout the series. I don't mean characters have moments of growth. Porsche changes throughout the series, as does his little brother Porchay. On the other hand, characters like Vegas and Kinn are sociopathic earlier but then become broken teddy bears after a couple of episodes. It just makes sense and feels like a fan-fiction kind of logic.
Vegas, in particular, is a character who makes little sense. He is shown as a soulless, violent manipulator. Yet, after torturing Pete, he becomes a vulnerable, broken little boy with him. Vegas's father is cruel as well, but then he meets his sister and becomes a crying sack of shit.
By the end, we have twist after twist after twist, adding unnecessary complexity to the story to create a clean ending.
I was interested in the relationship between Porchay and Kim. I found Kim to be interesting, but an underdeveloped character.
Vegas and Pete became an irrational but interesting couple that I wanted more time with.
Tankhun was a load of fun in every scene.

worth watching show, don't miss. it's not a typical clingy BL romance drama.
worth watching show, if u are not a BL fan then u will become for sure. no where it was found clingy .direction acting perfect. music score was the best. I bet everyone will watch repeat.
it felt like episodes should be more than 14. All the characters had equal weightage. it started as a kinn porsche show and ended as Pete Vegas show. perfect chemistry between all couples . and lastly I should also mention Tong, for his perfect comedy sequence. he's a great actor, he showed.
The drama is above high standards, made on a large budget, and it's surely is reflecting tht.
I love it

DEFO ONE OF THE TOP BLs OR EVEN THAI SHOWS I'VE WATCHED
One of, if not the most well-produced and shot thai shows/BLs. Storyline was pretty solid and the different couples had a ridiculous amount of chemistry. This series is funny, intense and kinda heartwarming all at once. Music is incredibly well done, as expected of Jeff Satur, and Slot Machine really popped off with the opening song. THE DETAILS in this show are also very well done, in terms of some of the characters' small movements and expressions.The only bone I have to pick is that I enjoyed the first half of the show slightly more than the second half as the overall vibe does change gradually throughout the series.
Overall, such a phenomenal series that will be iconic in the BL world for the next few years, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE TO WATCH!

Fanfiction on steroid!
I totally forgot how amazing this series was. Last time I watched it was when it was on air, so over 2 years ago and no other Asian LGBT series has beating it yet. What a ride it was watching it again. Had one of the best acting too. Honestly can’t wait to rewatch it again!Best way to describe it is…Fanfiction on steroid!

this drama did insane things for the bl industry
Genuinely just as impressed with the entire show second time around. The acting is actually insane, the cinematography and special effects are incredible; the only thing that brings it down is the writing every so often. I agree with what oomf said about their mom being alive and the back and forth on what’s the truth and what’s not. It just felt overwhelming at some points. They very easily could’ve wrapped it up a different way without their mom being alive and it wouldn’t have made a difference.PORSCHE YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING like genuinely one of the best written characters ive come across in a good while. Every scene he was in i was captivated and glued to the screen. Apo you’re truly incredible.
Tankhun seems like he was such a fun character to portray. There’s so much you can do and improvise with and the actor did an amazing job at that. Made for entertainment when it was otherwise dreary.
I have to admit I did still skip almost all of porchay and Kim’s scenes again just because it had absolutely no impact on the plot and i was genuinely uninterested in them. I watched a few more scenes this time than the last but I still couldn’t do it.

Excellent
I absolutely loved it. I read the novel last year, and was very excited to see it on screen. I must say…. This series did NOT disappoint! The cast was EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT!! The storyline was interesting, and the suspense throughout was epic! This is definitely one of the BLs that will stand apart from your basic BL drama. Hot actors, and hot scenes. It was absolutely heart wrenching, and beautiful, and sexy and horrible at times and perfect. All rolled into one. I loved it. Highly recommend!!!Was this review helpful to you?

Not everyone can watch it, but it's worth it
I was thinking about watching KinnPorsche for a while now, but I finally did and completed it!I loved how every ship had an interesting story attached. For example I liked Pete and Vegas simply because they found something warm and sweet in each other. Also Kinn's best friends are amzing couple, haha! Yok was an amazing host of the bar too, woah!! I loved her role! But I am quite sad for Kim and Porchay as well as Porchay and Porsche's mother - the last scene was just heartbreaking 🤧!
"KinnPorsche" is not a drama for anyone simply because it contains violence, explicit scenes and language and it's nerve-wracking at some moments.
However, this makes it an amazing drama! Recommend it to anyone who is interested in this type of productions! 🩷

The definition of Perfect...KinnPorsche
Honestly, I never used to watch Thai bl, I was more of a Korean bl, with a touch of Japan bl and Taiwanese bl and the Chinese censored dramas. I used to find Thai weird, I never knew what I was missing till one day I just decided to sit down and click or a Thai bl and my mind just blew off, I got arrhythmias man. It's addictive. it's fun it's.... well you got to experience it first.KinnPorche, I loved it. it has that taste of action, the gunfights, the blood, the Mafia, the adrenaline, the romance, the mind blowing scenes. it's got it all.
I loved the relationships, the chemistry between the actors.
You know, I used to say, and I still do anyway, when you're in a dangerous line of work, you should avoid romantic relationships with anyone and I mean anyone, not even one night stands cause once you do, you're a gonner, it's some kind of a weakness. well to me, love is a weakness, you never know when someone will stab your back. your most trusted people might be the ones pulling the trigger. If I were some Mafia don I wouldn't have any love in my life, that's me.
It's rare to meet a loving trustworthy partner like how Kinn met his Porsche.
or maybe how Vegas met his Pete.
well I hope life would be as it is in the fictious world.
anyways, you have to watch this drama and have your own experience. it's worth watching. very interesting.
I'm glad I decided to visit Thailand😊
