Epic
Ok!It was by far the best bl series to come out.Let's start with the cast of actors, I really don't think there was even one who could play the roles better.
They make you feel and experience what they do and feel themselves.
The plot was something very original and the direction was perfect as well.
The chosen music was equally fantastic.
Infinite alternating emotions with the last episode giving you a strong dose of them.
It was worth the wait of the series to be released and evolving in each one of the 14 episodes.
The only negative is the end of this series.
😭😭😭

Kinda silly and rushed...
(I've only watched up to episode 9)• I don't understand why the literal mafia would hire an untrained man and let him have a super important job. It makes no sense.
• Why would Porsche always disrespect the people he works for? At best, he could lose his job that he somehow got and so desperately needs, at worse THEY COULD LITERALLY KILL YOU MY DUDE!! And they wouldn't care either 💀💀💀
• Kinn and Porsche's relationship was kind of rushed... They talked a couple of times (and their interactions weren't even friendly, ler alone romantic) and suddenly they're kissing and having sex... :/ Idk, I just feel like it came out of nowhere. I wish there'd been more development in their relationship. At some point they're promising they'll ~always come back to each other~ and I'm sitting there flabbergasted that they're at *that* level already lol.
• The "funny" moments in the show are just too silly and cartoonish. Not only doesn't the comedic, romantic and serious stuff not mesh very well, but, additionally, the "comedy" isn't even that funny, no offense. 😶
• They play the same emotional song whenever the scene is supposed to be heartfelt lol stopppp c'mon there are more songs out there! 🥴
• The scene in ep7 where Porsche is lowkey almost assaulted (?) and then Kinn comes in, gets rid of the other dude, doesn't let Porsche leave and then starts making out and having sex with Porsche ????????? Idk I didn't like it. Weird vibes. Also, very inappropriate moment, since Porsche is at the very least shaken about what just happened.
• Speaking of sex scenes: some of the sex scenes in this show are the cringiest I've ever seen 🥴💀
• Their date in ep8 was really cute!
• Kim and Chay are the best part of the show by far!! 🥺🥺🥺

OMFG.
Ok. Where do I even start? This was dubbed the HORNIEST BL drama to date and it did not disappoint. All of my wild BL fantasies came true. So many sexy men on the screen.I read the history of how this drama came together and it was not the smoothest journey for the crew with the pandemic, budget etc. I was so glad to hear the Mile (Kinn) himself decided to step in and funded most of the project in order for them to complete the drama. What we got in the end was an incredible journey.
The chemistry between the leads and other couples were sizzling, sizzling like crotch on fire hot. Apo and Mile are incredibly handsome and sexy on their own so for them to come together, the screen and viewers stood no chance. We did not recover after the first episode, y’all.
The cinematography was stunning and the visuals in each scenes really captured the essence of the drama to the core. The steamy scenes… wow… groundbreaking. They really, REALLY, went there. They did not hold back. Phew!
Anyhoo… this is definitely a must watch for BL fans. I look forward to many more of these in the future.

It was good at first, but got only worse.
This show had a potential, but the while story was a mess. I'm not gonna lie I finished the series within two days, but some,, plot twists'' were so unnecessary, that it hurt me.First of all, thing that should have never happened, the third couple. Vegas kidnaped Pit, tortured him, r*ped him, almost killed him, but at the end they were happy together. Literally wtf? Let' s skip the fact that this thread was useless. This was wrong in so many ways. And also Pit was pretty smart the whole show, so why in the end he starts dating Vegas, the worst character in the show? I'm still trying to gaslight myself that it didn't happen.
Second of all, why did they make Kinn and Porsche cousins? To all the people who try to explain it by saying that Porsche's mother was adopted, it's still wrong. By law they are cousins even if they aren't blood related.
Third of all, the whole Kimporchay situationship. Kim was an adoult, manipulating Porchay, who was a minor, just to use him and find out more about Porchay. Yes, maybe they did love eachother or whatever, but I don't understand why people think that Kim is a green flag. I find it funny, how despite the fact that Kim was a manipulator, he still was probably the least toxic one in this show. When in the end Porchay left Kim, I felt this series got better. I was glad that they didn't made him come back to Kim in the end and forget about everything that he's done.
Fourt of all, the main couple. Kim SAed Porche, while he was drugged. Why is no one talking about it? They relationship made both of them stupid. There's this saying that the smart one's get stupid when it comes to love, and they took it literally (tbh I'm not sure if they were even smart at the beginning, but you know what I mean). So much of unnecessary 18+ scenes. If they cut them off, I think the show might have been better.
And finally, the whole story of this show. It started off intresting. I genuinely enjoyed it. After Kinn used Porche, I felt that it was getting worse and worse. I'm pretty sure that this show was supposed to be a comedy, but I couldn't help but cringe, every time they tried to be funny. Especially that mermaid scene. I was wondering how much do they pay those actors to do this shit. Also the plot twists at the end. When they started talking about Porche's parents I got so confused. In the end I didn't even now who killed them, and then they say that his mom is still alive. Again, wtf?
In conclusion, this show could be good. If they just sat down and read the script out loud, maybe they would realised that they wrote shit, and rewrite it, or pay someone to do it instead.

proceed with caution
First things first, I think that many people don't know what they are getting themselves into. This show is a BL, yes, but it's way darker and more graphic in many different areas (language, NSFW scenes, fight scenes, etc.). I will add some content warnings at the bottom for those who might need them.Everyone keeps talking about how flawless and perfect this show is with only minor "mistakes" and honestly... I have to disagree. While yes, the production value is significantly higher than in your usual BLs, the writing was nowhere near perfect. Just to highlight one issue: We meet Kim, youngest of the Theerapanyakul brothers and immediately know that he's up to something. He's secretive and constantly sneaks around and tries to gather some important info. It makes up the majority of his storyline. It's either him playing Kimlock Holmes or him having some boyfriend time with Chay. Solving this mystery it very tricky, so he has to be smart and careful about it. And this show really wants to let us know that he is both. But then, this plot just get's sidelined and eventually forgotten about. Suddenly it's not that important anymore and once Porsche now actually wants to know this secret information that Kim spent hours and weeks discovering, another character just swoops in and says "yeah sorry that it took me an hour and a half to get you this very secretive and important information, I was sleepy and needed a nap, but here you go". LIKE??? They did him so dirty and for what...
And no matter how many times people try to gaslight me, a mature story with criminals as protagonists doesn't automatically require them being abusers. They can be bad guys and still respect boundaries and give a damn about consent. I'm sorry, but a guy automatically loses all his attractiveness to me once they cross this line. Therefore, not many attractive men in this show for me.
This show loves to twist the plot. You think that you finally settled in and know how things work and BAMM new secret unlocked, another twist in this plot and it slowly turns into a pretzel. This happens quite a lot especially in the last third of the show. And it's intruiging at first, but I got a little tired of it by the end.
The time with our main couple and main characters Kinn and Porsche was a rollercoaster ride. I got a little fed up with them by the end. It was interesting watching them navigate their feelings towards each other, especially in that work enviroment (and the power imbalance as well). I got bored of these two repeating the same behavior over and over again. They had their cute moments but at one point I was so done with them that I couldn't even take it seriously anymore. But that meant that I had a great time the last two episodes since I just accepted whatever the writers threw at me and stopped questioning things or getting all riled up over these fictional characters. So, that's that.
The one Theerapanyakul brother that got it the worst is Tankhun. He was one of the comic relief characters that could've been really great. Even though he's way smarter than people give him credit for, he was never allowed to fully step outside of the box this show put him in. He got a moment here and there where he was allowed to be the only one seeing through everyone's bs, but in the end, it didn't matter much.
I was very concerned about the VegasPete storyline, as I only heard a few bits and pieces about it and I wasn't sure if the writers would be able to handle such a difficult topic well. And turns out my concerns were absolutely valid. While the slow built-up was okay, the ending felt rushed. I would've loved to follow Pete a little more and his inner turmoil. How he manages to accept his feelings for Vegas after everything he did to him. I found their scenes to be fascinating, but they would've benefited from more time. Their relationship starts out in a deeply fucked up way and this can easily be ruined if it's not handled with enough time and care.
But credit, where credit is due: Great production. I've read probably around a hundred posts of people making in-depth character analysis, discussing color symbolism, pointing out hints and little easter eggs, pointing out parallels, and so much more. It really shows how much effort went into making this show. The sound is good, the fighting scenes are captivating, the NSFW scenes don't feel stiff or awkward but natural and intimate. I think that it's a really great product. The actors have all great chemistry with each other and seemed pretty comfortable with each other. The music was also fantastic, they had a real banger on their hands and knew it. Also the different version of it and how they used them, chef's kiss.
The only thing that I critique though is the writing.
Content Warnings: rape, attempted rape, drugging, torture, abusive parents, so much blood and death. If you are not comfortable with these things I advice you to skip this show or find someone who can tell you which scenes to avoid.

TOTALLY WORTH IT!
I'd like to point that this serie is not for everybody. If you like action or thriller, you'll love it as I did. However, I warned you that it displays sensitive topics that are not suitable for under age people. Also, I think that the story could've been better because this created world is really interesting. I am not saying is not good, it is just that it feel a little rushed at times. The best remarkable aspect is the cast and their acting. Wow they are amazing actors! I am so impressed by their acting! And also, it was by far the best production and quality of filming I've watched in BLs!Was this review helpful to you?
Started off great!
The show started off on a great account. At the time I had huge expectations from the production team and the story. It was very interesting and exciting till a certain point. After a little more than half, the story started taking strange turns and by the time it reached the last few episodes, it became something totally different from what it started off as. It felt like the writer seemed to have lost his way in between. I was not a fan of the ending, it just became too confusing. And Nampheung's story was pitiful. It felt cruel, almost heartless.The casting though, was great. Each and every actor justified their role to the fullest. Nattawin (Porsche) displayed his acting prowess too well. His character (Porsche) is one of a kind. It felt true, heartfelt, rational and strong. Another actor worthy of praise is Wichapas Summettikul (Vegas). He too portrayed so many shades with such ease that he made acting look like a piece of cake.
My favorite couple would be Vegas and Pete. My heart went out to them in the end.
All in all, I would say it was a good show. It isn't a very easy watch because of some mature themes in it but if you want to truly feel something deep then it's a good choice.

Not a 10/10 serie but definitely a memorable one that the BL industry won’t be able to forget.
Boy..what a ride. I’m feeling so empty because I loved watching this bl and I really like the actors as well. After ITSAY I thought I wouldn’t see a BL so well made but KinnPorsche really did that. The acting, the OST, direction, photography, everything was SO WELL DONE. It was the same level as ITSAY for me, although it’s not perfect. So well, be prepared. This review will be a loooong one.First, What I didn’t like:
KimChay didn’t existed in the novel and although I liked them here, I think they weren’t that necessary, especially because we have much more complex and intense couples to develop. They were pretty cute. Also Kim is SO HOT. But I think some of their scenes could have been released later, with a spin off video.
Also, what made KinnPorsche a 9/10 serie instead of a 10/10 for me is that they wanted to adapt a long story, with too much characters and complex couples with only 14 episodes. They also wasted their time with some unnecessary scenes and when we needed a more time for the important parts, they rushed a little. A lot of people complained about too much scenes of KinnPorsche but they are the main couple and main characters, they need to be well developed. Instead of them, we had much more unnecessary scenes as the whole ghost thing with Tawan, like please. Kim’s scenes investigating was for what? Also Porschay is cute but he had more scenes in the end that he should. VegasPete were the most damaged with all of this as their story were complety rushed.
As VegasPete were rushed, their story looked even more problematic. Pete was a difficult character to understand, his choice was difficult to understand and it’s hard to believe that he fell in love with Vegas with so less scenes of them. Vegas changed too fast as well. He was beating Pete in one episode and in the same episode worrying for him. Vegas said he saw in Pete’s eyes that Pete liked when Vegas lose control like i’m sorry…when he saw that? I couldn’t see this lol Like everything about them happened too fast and it shouldn’t because they are really complex.
What I liked:
They really made a good adaptation for Kinn and Porsche. They made Kinn a more likeable character, they removed most of the SA scenes and instead we had much more cute and likeable scenes of them. I wish they made Tawan plot different because this part really made Kinn look stupid as a character, but well, I won’t complain too much because at least I liked him waaaay better here than in the novel. Actually, Kinn was a very attractive character for me here. He loved Porsche but also gave a choice for Porsche to follow his own path. Kinn in the novel wouldn’t do that and that’s why I loved him here. Porsche as well is more likeable here because in the novel he was really annoying and also very homophobic. Also, Kinn and Porsche scenes were so well done that it was insane, looked so real most of the times. They were like a hot and cute couple and ApoMile killed with their chemistry and good acting. I didn’t like Kinnporsche in the novel but loved them in the serie.
VegasPete scenes were too heavy for me in the novel so i’m glad they removed the multiple rape scenes, this made the couple look more likeable for me, although still problematic. Also, BibleBuild had a awesome chemistry as well and omg Bible KILLED this character, he was made for Vegas. It’s hard to believe that it was his first job as actor.
I think all characters in KinnPorsche are really charismatic, this is one of the most positive things in the BL for me. I LOVED THANKUN!! Every one said he was crazy but he was the most intelligent of them all. Arm, Tay and the others were good as well, unfortunately we had less scenes of them. But my favorite ones were definitly Vegas and Kinnporsche tho. Vegas is really hard to not like. He was evil, smart, manipulative, charming. A true mafia. His story is also likeable, although a little cliche. I think it’s obvious to say that he is the best character in KinnPorsche. But I also liked Kinn and Porsche. They were pretty attractive for me, even with their dumb scenes.
Also the ACTING. Almost all actors here did a pretty decent job, especially Bible, Apo and Mile, they were phenomenal. The CHEMISTRY is also a good point. ApoMile were insane and BibleBuild were also really good.
As I said before, it’s also a pretty well done serie with beautiful scenes. The cinematography was on point and they made use of colors to give meaning to the characters and their scenes. They also made use of a lot of symbologies, they knew what they were doing here.
The plot is also interesting, although the mafia part it can be not that used. The story about Porsche’s family changed here in the serie and althought it may look forced, this for me it was clearly a tip that we may see a S2. Also, I think everybody could see that Kinn’s father it’s not that good as he want to appear and I think S2 will be about that. He’s a very smart and manipulative guy. But probably Porsche will find out the true and Kinn and Porsche will fight about that. Could Kinn trust Porsche, betray his father and be at Porsche’s side? We will see.
In the end, even not being a 10/10 serie, KinnPorsche is definitely a memorable one that neither I nor the BL industry will be able to forget. If you didn’t watch, I really recommend. It’s not perfect, but definitly enjoyable. Almost perfect.
PS: I will miss the cast :( let’s hope for S2.

Ok, I'm here because of TikTok
The plot is nice, not to complex but still keeps you interested. However, some of the plot twist felt a bit forced and not built into the plot (Could never really guess them on your own until they wanted you to). But I can't lie... I gasped more then once. The dynamic between the characters is great, loved the friendships and almost all the couples (Can't love them all). The cinematography is surprisingly nice, felt a bit out of place at times but still looked wonderful. One of the things that annoy me the most is the lack of music. You can't use the same song slowed down or speed up....It's still the same song!!!!!!!!!!In conclusion, I received what I came for but not much more.
P.S Pete & Vegas deserve better!!!!!!!!!!!

MILEAPO AND BIBLEBUILD DELIVERED
One of the most anticipated BL series and it did not disappoint me at all. The acting from the cast members was exquisite. You can tell they breathed life into their roles. One of the best cinematographies I have seen in Thai BLs. Definitely a romance story with a mafia theme and not the other way around.I thoroughly enjoyed KinnPorsches story line especially episode 6 and 8. Mile and Apo delivered stellar acting. "Real acting with real feelings" There were some issues that definitely needed to be addressed which weren't at the end. So hopefully side stories or a season 2 will cover all the bases
VegasPete arc was a bit lackluster for me at the beginning but definitely enjoyed watching them as they progressed. Bible and Build did not disappoint me towards the end. KimChay definitely grew on me. Lastly we were robbed of TayTimeTem.
A great series. Definitely rewatching multiple times.

Amazing and refreshing
If you are looking for a love story with mafia theme i think this is best. All scenes are worth to watch. Undeniable chemistry of both leads is cherry on the cake and you can feel it. I want to thank mile phakphum and apo nnattawin for portraying kinn and Porsche. The cinematography is amazing you will feel like you are watching Hollywood series. And music is amazing. I want to recommend it to everyone. Because love is love💕💕💕💕
Kinn- head of main family . Who wanted to lead a simple life but he had to become a leader and he falls for Porsche
Porsche- a university studentand a bartender who loves his brother so much. He had to become bodyguard of kinn
And the love story between and mafia leader and his bodyguard starts
This is my first review and i am not so good with words .
But this series led me to write a review i want to clear that though this is not a perfect series and has some flaws. But really worth to watch .
Drama ost is amazing it is mesmerizing. whis matches with the emotions of tha moment. I think this series has a best kissing scenes i mus say you can feel the the intensity between to men. And i like their intimate scene. And i want to appreciate whole cast of kinnporsche the series the did justice with their roles. And i am very impressed with apo nnattawin acting his eyes are very expressive and the aura and that smirk of mile phakphum is amazing. It is his first series and i think he is very telented . And jeff satur's voice is amazing . Bible and build are amazing as Vegas pete .
Each character has its flaws they are not perfect but that's what life is right??
