KinnPorsche

It was good!

I liked it! it had a few flaws, but i still ejoyed it a lot! I watched it in 2 sittings, i only slept a few hours between the sittings.
The story was good with a few nice plottwists, and yes the story had some flaws, but they didn't bother me much. I even had a few good laughs!
One big issue for me were the explosions after Tawan blew up the building, the explosions were really small and didn't give the wanted effect.
And it's too much that all the children of one family are gay, that is just so unrealistic!
The visuals were great and the music very good.

The overall acting was good.
I am not a big fan of Mile, but as a couple they are amazing!! They have so much chemistry! And their kisses and NC scenes are amazing!
The other two couples also had good chemistry.

This drama had some really good and spicy NC scenes.

I recommend watching.

Well I wasn’t expecting this to be so damn funny!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I watched this but the fact that Korn, a mafia Godfather, put up with the antics of a trainee body guard who pee’d in a pool killing the eldest son’s koi carp, was caught setting off the fire alarms while having a sly fag and got drunk on the job make sense later on. But at the time I saw this as just the very funny antics of a clueless, slightly feral, former bartender. There are lots of other incredibly funny moments that prevent this drama from becoming too dark and they are perfectly timed to show that even where there is violence and death there can be moments of hilarity. The script writers should be applauded for what we get to watch so I awarded extra marks to the story score because of this.

The story basically revolves round Kinn, Korn’s son, and Porsche, a young man orphaned when his parents died in a car accident leaving him to look after his younger brother. The plot focuses on their burgeoning love story and documents the highs and lows of their journey set in a world of gambling, drugs and other nefarious activities, although these provide a backdrop rather than become the main focus.

As the story progresses it becomes clear that all is not what it seems regarding Porsche’s parents’ death but I deducted marks because one of the side characters - Kinn’s younger brother Kim - seemed to spend most of his on screen time digging into what happened but his efforts to uncover the truth just fizzled out so I didn’t really see why this sub plot was included. Perhaps it was to introduce Porsche’s brother to Kim but I think there were better and more logical ways for them to meet.

The chemistry between the two male leads is sizzling and the NC scenes leave little to the imagination but are tastefully and beautifully shot. There were occasions when they were so playful they were a joy to watch yet at other times you wondered if they would ever really trust each other enough to become totally committed yet through it all it was obvious they were deeply in love. Kudos to Mile and Apo for getting their characters just right.

Fairly early on we are introduced to Vegas, the Korn’s nephew and Pete, one of Kinn’s bodyguards and as the drama unfolds they become an unlikely pairing. The actors who played these characters were mesmerising and had as equally as strong a romance as the main leads, however how they come to be together was totally unexpected and quite shocking and although they were incredibly dysfunctional I was still rooting for them, even at the end I wanted them to somehow survive.

The settings were brilliant from sleazy bars to high end apartments everything worked perfectly as backdrops to the plot. The supporting cast was also well rounded and added strength and depth to the story an d the overall production values were high.

Would I watch this again? Absolutely but I would really like to know how Kinn and Porsche ended up in the middle of nowhere following an attempted abduction but in the version I watched on IQIYI someone thought it was a good idea to cut that bit for some reason!

WATCH IT!

These series gave me everything I could wish for and even more I didn't ask for but still liked. Kinn being the arrogant brat he should be as mafia boss's son falling in love with poor bartender with debts that aren't his but his father's and using this to make him work for him was genius. I don't want to praise the authors much as I know about the issue and toxicity with them but this story is complete masterpiece. There was no episode that'd bore me or that I'd expect what's gonna happen next. Porsche automatically became my favorite character together with Pete and Chay. Power bottoms but they were all amazing. Also Kinn's older bro was the legend. I laughed everytime he appeared on the screen showing how great the actor is. I liked how Kinn taking advantage of Porsche wasn't overlooked but Porsche was genuinely hurt and Kinn prayed for his forgiveness because it's not okay to sleep with drugged person. Being lost in that forest was really everything they needed to understand each other more and get closer. It helped Kinn to change too and be more himself. Then we have Kim and Porchay aka younger generation of main couple. As I learn Chay's actor is still minor, I did not want to couple them very much as Jeff (Kim) is 10 years older. But luckily there weren't those scenes between them. Just innocent kiss on the cheek from Kim and cuddling. When Kim told Chay he did everything just to learn more about Porsche and his family and Chay broke into tears, I had to cry with him because he is the only character I can't stand hurt. He's just pure angel I fell in love with. It hurt me seeing him hurting himself with alcohol and almost drugs but Kim appeared again and tried to reconcile with him which was really hard but made Kim love Chay more. And in the end we have Vegas and Pete, couple I shipped just from the intro and funny scenes together turning into the most toxic but my most favorite. I seriously laughed when Vegas killed Tawan as I hated him and couldn't imagine Vegas being serious about anyone. He fooled me as I thought he's into Porsche but using him just as bait to hurt Kinn. I hated him for this but still liked his character. Then... everything went blank as Pete, my fav character I love, was being tortured to death by Vegas. He suffered so much he wanted to die but Vegas wanted to toy with him more. Now why are they my favorite when it's obvious red flag and KinnPorsche is completely green comparing to this? Emotional scenes is the answer. Learning about Vegas's past and seeing Pete struggling with the same thing. Both were left with daddy issues and child abuse which made them even closer and than Vegas's pet, the only thing he purely loved, died and made Vegas and Pete closer to that level Pete couldn't resist his urges and slept with Vegas. It seemed great, Vegas was more himself and less aggressive but after his so called dad hit him he became the same again and took his frustration on Pete again and Pete was suicidal again. In the end Pete managed to escape but still was stuck in Stockholm syndrome and was blinded by love to Vegas. I have to say Porsche disappointed me when he let Vegas see Pete for his help. Pete was hurt again, completely broken and I hated to see that. Vegas even strangled him to calm him down so he was still abusive. But the last scene where they are chasing each other as enemies and Vegas is unable to kill Pete is he's the first person he fell in love with, he wants to be killed by him instead. The scene was so powerful and emotional as both can't let each other go despite everything they went through and how Pete was sure Vegas died after being shot three times, I really thought he's gonna die with him as they were addicted to each other. This weird obsession that turned to love. I cried, I really cried very much and fell into depression as I thought my favorite couple and ship just sunk but I waited till the end of the episode Porsche making me the happiest woman by saying Vegas is doing fine with Pete by his sight. The final scene where they smile, are happy like complete and heartwarming family melted my heart. And Vegas's brother accepting Pete and totally loving being with them with no worries was so amazing. I came here for spicy scenes but my favorite because the family moments between couples. Absolutely loved it and recommend it with all love!

A depiction of comedy, complex relationships and sacrifice

RE-WATCH --->

Given that I re-watched it, I’d say this is definitely worth a watch!


Honestly, I kind of love KP. While it has its obvious issues, it’s still really good. The plot is engaging, and the acting and action’s pacing are strong.


Yes, the relationships in the show are quite toxic, and no one is safe from these problematic, dominant gangsters. However, some of them do manage to redeem themselves – Vegas, in particular. And, by the end, you find yourself tolerating Kinn because Porsche does, and it really centres around their relationship, doesn’t it? So, you don’t really have a choice.


It's not a masterpiece but ultimately, I believe the show offers a great portrayal of comedy, complex relationships, and the theme of sacrifice. It’s enjoyable!


Side note: Jeff Satur's OST, "Why Don't You Stay," is the real masterpiece of this entire project. This song tells not just the best emotional love story, but it’s also heart-wrenching given KimPorchay's story.

Great!!! but a little excessive nc scenes?

it was a really good bl, but i personally thought there was a bit excessive nc scenes. it was quite a bit of time ago since i watched it, but if im right, the main leads were cousins? idk i find that a bit weird.
although i thought it was a good and catchy series! who doesn’t love a catchy bl. actors were great, although kinn’s eyebrows kinda threw me off (sorry) but his acting was good anyways. also, i thought vegaspete was a bit strange. i didn’t really get why pete went back to the guy that kidnapped and tortured(?) him. anyways its a good series✌️👍

I'm not sure what happened!?!

So I don't get all the hype about this show or maybe after listening to the hype I was expecting more but I feel like the story was all over the place and half way through it I honestly didn't care about Kinn or Porsche because the side stories were way more interesting Vegas & Pete need a show that starts after Vegas recovers. I would also watch a show about Kim & Porchay. I think maybe I expected to much and they just tried to do too much I mean at the end I want sure who was related to who have they all been sleeping with relatives? Got to the point I didn't know and I didn't care.

Not so stereotypical mafia story

KinnPorsche is one of those stories I could rewatch a million times without getting bored.

Firstly, I have to say that I started the series with negative thoughts because of my hatred towards the "mafia romance" storyline I am not so fond of. I was scared that the story would turn into those mainstream erotic-themed scenarios evident in most books and movies (especially Western ones). With this type of trope, the creators were stomping on thin ice and even one mistake could make this work unwatchable.
But despite the heavy start, I was pleasantly surprised with how the plot was delivered. There weren't any parts in the show when I had to pause and think to myself "What are you doing with your life?", which is very rare with Thai BL.
The main element that made the series so enjoyable was the chemistry between the main couple. Thanks to Apo and Mile, I watched the whole time amazed by their performance. I won't be lying when I say that there were no awkward scenes that could make the watcher uncomfortable or embarrassed. Every moment between the main characters was worth remembering and unique in its way.
The next element that stood out to me was the fact that we've got some noteworthy storylines from side characters as well. It made me even more excited to continue because every episode had something fresh to offer. There was no dullness in what I was watching. I wasn't bored even once as a result of the rich and stimulating script.
And while I am a big fan of the series, I have to say that some of the plot was a little bit unclear for me at first. I have no idea whether it's because of the pace of the story or my slowness but it might be apparent to some while watching. Though for me it cleared up pretty fast after continuing.
And you might wonder "Why hasn't she rated this work ten stars if she's such a big fan of it?". Well, even as an enthusiast I can point out that there was a romanticisation of themes that shouldn't be there. Some dark topics were just presented too vaguely in my opinion (which caused a lot of discourse around the portrayal of specific behaviours). And even though it wasn't that noticeable to others, it was something I couldn't ignore.
Overall, I would recommend KinnPorsche to anyone interested in BLs, especially the more mature ones. A bumpy ride full of intriguing characters, big affairs and complex motives unfolding in front of your eyes. Nothing ordinary or mundane.
What else can I say?

Enjoy this rollercoaster,
Lula

A heartfelt Thai BL with action

Kinnporsche may not have made it to the top of my list for Thai BL, but it definitely found a place in my heart. There were some loose ends that needed tying up, especially regarding the truth between the dad (main family head) and uncle (minor family head). The uncle was supposed to say something before the dad killed him, leaving me uncertain about whom to trust since the dad has already lied multiple times in the series. This particular scene doesn't sit well on me.

However, I must give credit to the action scenes that was well-executed. Although comedies weren't necessary, they somehow added to the overall fun.

Finally, it's refreshing to see a Thai BL that doesn't revolve around school romance. It's been a while since I last watched one, and now I finally understand why there was so much hype around this series last year.

And let's not forget Vegas' sexy english and Jeff's amazing OST. Overall, it was a beautiful BL experience.

Lived up to the hype

I hadn’t watched this because (1) I was not a IQIYI subscriber but I finally broke down and subscribed yesterday and (2) I am not a Mile fan but I have read that he is one of the nicest guys out there.

I just finished the series ( in 2 days - because I had to work today haha). Let me tell you, it was fantastic. Mafia themes are my favorite. Manner of Death and HIStory 3 are other favorites.

The acting was superb. I never expected this to bring out so many different emotions . Apo wins the prize for gorgeous, sexy, fit, and hilarious. Some parts were funny, while other parts were very intense. The twists and turns keep coming until the very end. Not one boring part anywhere.

The BibleBuild story was over the top like nothing I have ever seen before. Incredible.

Overall, it was great and I would watch this again.

Practically perfect.. however...

There is so much to love about this series that it's hard to pick which aspect was at the top. But for me, the overall production was superbly executed; everything from the story to the acting to the camera work and direction. (Special shout-out to the fight scene in the casino and, more specifically, the panning shot going up and down the stairs.)

It truly was a rollercoaster ride of emotions - sometimes so quick, in fact, that I felt like I may get resulting whiplash. Within the span of 10 minutes, there could be a moment of laughter, tugging at heartstrings and on the verge of tears in suspense, but it still all worked well and somehow managed to flow all the same.

I like how every character has their strengths and their flaws. No one is perfect and they all make mistakes, but you still root for them despite their shortcomings. They are all simply human, trying to make the most out of the hands they were dealt either from birth or somewhere along the way.

While I would love to see more, I feel like the story could end here, at least as far as the relationships go. The only relationships I'd be curious about is Kim and then how the boys handle being reunited with their mom. However, it kind of broke my heart that the mom looked almost uncomfortable and afraid of them as they hugged her in the ending scene. They just want to love her but they are essentially strangers to her and that's devastating... I don't know if I could sit through more scenes like that. And yet I thought it was beautifully executed all the same to show the reality of the situation and that being reunited is not going to be all hearts and rainbows.

Overall, the series was the best I've watched to date in the BL genre, hands down. There is definitely rewatch value in it, especially knowing what the ending is. I'm looking forward to searching for hints from the beginning since I know there were "lightbulb" moments for sure.


***EDIT***

After watching the series a second time, I feel like there is even more rewatch value in this series. During the first watch, I'm constantly confused with all the deceit and trying to guess who is actually good or bad. But, as I've said above, everyone is flawed in their own ways yet it's how they deal with it that makes the viewer either root for them or jeer them.

My main gripe with it is the whole storyline with Porsche's parents essentially being thrown in in the penultimate episode. That didn't really give viewers much time to grasp what the heck was going on and I still wonder who was telling the truth with all the different scenarios that were presented. And man, the way the mother was uncomfortable while Chay and Porsche tried to make her remember them still bugs me the second time around.

I did have to up my rating though because it's still a great series and I will keep it in rotation for favorite series.
