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

A High-Octane Masterpiece that Redefines BL
As a long-time fan of the BL genre, I can confidently say I have never seen a production with a budget this massive. KinnPorsche completely shatters the ceiling of what BL dramas can achieve, raising the bar to an entirely new level.CINEMATIC BRILLIANCE & A KILLER SOUNDTRACK
From a technical standpoint, the series is a triumph. The cinematography is breathtaking, feeling more like a high-end action movie than a television drama. This visual feast is perfectly complemented by an incredible soundtrack. A special shout-out must go to Jeff Satur’s "Why Don't You Stay" , it is an absolute masterpiece that elevates every single scene it touches.
UNMATCHED CHEMISTRY & STELLAR PERFORMANCES
The cast delivers incredibly solid performances across the board, and their off-screen camaraderie clearly translates into palpable on-screen magic. Every single couple won me over, but the central relationship is something truly special.
Mile (Kinn) & Apo (Porsche): Their chemistry is simply explosive. The intimate scenes are remarkably passionate and high-heat, yet they are handled with a spectacular delicacy and artistic grace that keeps them from feeling gratuitous.
Kim & Porchay: They were absolutely adorable, and I found myself completely charmed by their sweet, smaller moments together.
Vegas & Pete: While I loved them, I do wish their relationship had been given a bit more development and breathing room to match the pace of the main couple.
THE SCENE-STEALER
I cannot write a review without giving a well-deserved special mention to Tong Thanayut as Tankhun Theerapanyakul. His performance was nothing short of masterful. He brought non-stop laughter to the show, and what started as pure comedic relief turned into a character I deeply loved. He completely stole my heart.
A FEW NITPICKS
If I'm being completely nitpicky, I would have loved for the show to give a bit more screen time and backstory to some of the supporting characters, and perhaps tie up a few minor loose plot ends. However, these are incredibly small grievances in an otherwise stellar show, I'm just being fussy!
THE VERDICT
Thanks to the phenomenal dedication and talent of the entire cast, KinnPorsche has easily earned a permanent spot on my list of all-time favorite BL series. If you haven't watched it yet, you are missing out on a genre-defining ride.
A must-watch!

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!

I will be buried with this.
There is SO much to say. I live everything. No other bl could ever beat kinnporsche in my eyes. every SINGLE day, I think about it and Vegaspete. vegaspete's storyline was so raw and beautiful i sometimes go back to watch just their scenes in the safehouse. I will FOREVER love this show until the day I die. this was maybe my second or just one of my first Bl's and I couldn't have been more happy that this was the one that changed my life. it literally did. change my whole life. I member I was maybe 12 or 13 and looking up where to watch love in the air and kinnposche. if I never saw some edits on tiktok, I dont know where or what I would be doing with my life now. I LOVE YOU😭😭😭Was this review helpful to you?

My favorite bl of all time. Many people hate it for some reason. I mean there is sexual assault in here, I mean yea that’s a total valid reason to not like it. But anyways I liked it. The story is great and the acting is great. Kim and porchay:
They shouldn’t have happened, in fact they shouldn’t even have interacted, their storyline made no sense and I skipped their scenes. Barcode was a minor at the time when this aired so I don’t know why this pairing was a thing.
Vegas and Pete:
Vegas is a an actual psycho like actually I don’t know what is wrong with him. This pairing had their screen time I think in episode 12 the whole episode was centered on them mostly because Vegas kidnapped Pete. But in that episode Vegas actions are not justified but his father is shit and abused him. It doesn’t seem like Vegas wanted to hurt Pete because they had a little chat and Vegas opened up. Overall the couple isn’t bad but Vegas got issues and needs to work it out.
Kinn and Porsche:
Where do I start , many people hated Vegas for what he did to Porsche but liked kinn even though he did the same thing TWICE or maybe it was 3 times anyways. This couple was good but has some red flags like hello they are cousins? Kinn assaulted Porsche while he was drunk twice and called Porsche I think it was easy or loose something like that and it’s just like no. Kinn did apologize and Porsche forgive him. Episode 6/7 is where the relationship really changed and I felt like them being stranded in that dessert helped them communicate better and helped their relationship. Kinn was ultimately going to let Porsche like leave and say that he died so Porsche can go spend time with his brother and live his life before his guards found him but Kinn was about to get slimed so Porsche came back and like helped him.
Overall:
One of my fav bl’s and I will say the most important episodes is 4,5,6,7 and 12 and maybe 13. These are mostly NC episodes but that’s not the reason I say the are important . When you watch it you will see why I listed those specific episodes.

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😊

Don't walk RUN to watch this show
May contain spoilers
This show is a depression curer... I'm not even joking. If you love an enemies to lovers drama which includes the mafia and some great ass acting and storyline then this show is definitely for you .
There are three couples that this show follows: KinnPorsche, VegasPete and KimChay, all which have a very different plot (my fav being VegasPete).
It generally follows Porsche's life as he meets Kinn unexpectedly, the middle son of a mafia leader who's within the 'major family' which causes him to start working for this mafia as a bodyguard. Vegas is the eldest son of the same mafia but he is apart of the 'minor family' (which because of this he is a bit jealous of Kinn and he also has anger issues lol). Pete is a bodyguard of the major family and mainly looks after the eldest son of the major family (who is a bit crazy but will defo make you laugh at some point throughout the show). Both of these couples do have quite steamy times so watch at your own risk. Kim is the youngest son of the major family who is also a famous singer. Porchay, whom is Porsche's younger brother is one of Kim's fans and asks him for some guitar lessons and they hit it off from there. Their story is a LOT more tame (probably because the actor who plays Porchay- Barcode is only 17 so obviously nothing too romantic will be happening compared to the other couples).
All of these couples story all merge into one big plot it is not where they are three separate plots. I don't want to spoil it any further by talking about their romances in detail because that will give the whole plot away!!
Although it is not just about the romance!! The plot itself is very interesting, there is some comedy bits, plot twists and definitely a lot of action.
I will recommend this BL series probably until the day I die but watch at your own risk because once you do your expectation for any other BL series will be through the roof.
