Red flags everywhere, but still amazing watch
Don't go into this expecting a portrayal of healthy relationships. You have been warned. The storylines between main couples are really toxic, especially Pete and Vegas, that whole pet thing, just no. Kinn and Porsche storyline is also messed up, Kinn raped drugged Porsche and constantly lied to him. In real life you would run away as fast as you can. However the out of this world chemistry and an amazing acting makes it a great watch, you can't help but root for them to be together. Would love to see these pairings in healthier relationships though. Too bad Kim did not have more scenes, Jeff is amazing, so would love to see more of him.Was this review helpful to you?

Spoilers for the show.
the first few episodes were a little slow it took me a little bit to get through them. I liked the second couple Vegas and Pete I found their story more interesting as you can see the development of feelings for both of their characters. I would like to see a season 2 or another show based on their characters, maybe learn a bit more about Vegas's past for instance where did his mother go, maybe get more of his little brother in there, more of his thoughts and see why he's acting the way he was, how he is feeling when his father hits and compares him to Kinn and how his feelings developed for Pete more. When did hos feeling change, how did he react to realizing he actually loved him. Also with Petes backstory. we know very little about Pete's life before working for the main family. How was his life before finding Kinn. I would also like to know where did Kinn mother go? it was never really talked about in the series.Was this review helpful to you?
THE BEST BL MAIN LEADS SO FAR
This was my second BL drama next to To My Star 2 with an overall rating of 9/10 (this is my highest rating for BL dramas so far).Let me summarize my opinion as to why this is one of the best BL dramas ever
1. Story. I have mixed emotions in a good way while watching this. There were unexpected moments that I was burst out laughing during action, romance and (horror?????? I can't stop laughing even just a thought of that scene). I cried. I laughed. I got scared. Didn't expect that BL would also be prefect in an action drama series.
2. Casts. In comparison to Korean BL, Thai BL has much better casts than most of the Korean BLs I've watched so far. It makes me think that Korean companies are scared to cast popular/professional actors due to public criticism or they are just not trying too hard to produce a high-quality drama. Even a Thai support actor can perform better than the main leads in Korean drama. The drama acting is topnotch. The comedy scenes are not forced. Even the intimate scenes are very praiseworthy. If I can give a rating above 10/10, I will give them.
3. The Chemistry of the Main Leads. The main leads are the most daring, the boldest, the cutest, the hottest and the best couple I've ever watched. Their physique is definitely different from each other but their chemistry is too perfect for me.
A must-watch.

entertaining
i liked it because it was different from what I usually watch. i liked the chemistry between both of the ml. porsche was just picture perfect but he was also a hot headed dumbass. half of the problems could have been prevented if he would have used his brain. but that’s the role he was playing. his acting….oh well… good thing he is pretty. the character development of both, kinn and porsche, was great. i loved the scenes as they got lost in the wilderness. it was so funny and interesting at the same time. the storyline was great and entertaining and really didn’t need the twist and turns in the last episode. i wish they would have been more clear about who killed whom. for me that was a bit of a mess.kinn and porsche were a cute couple. the chemistry was great and there was never a doubt that they would get their happily ever after.
pete and vegas on the other hand came out of nowhere for me. after all that torture theybstill found each other in the end. i really wish they would have more screen time or a special episode. they both deserved it. their characters were so complex and the acting skills great. i really wish there was more of the story. in my opinion their life stories and their relationship was way more interesting and intriguing than porsche and kinn’s!
all in all it was a good drama and i miss watching them. I also wanted to know if porschey and kim ever got together or not. it seems a bit in the open for me.

Mixed feelings
I didn't watch KP until now, even though I had read really good things about it.However, I have so many mixed feelings. I cannot deny the chemistry between the main couple and I would love to watch more of them. BUT, and it is a big BUT, developing a plot through more than 14 hours just to leave us with so many holes, inconsistencies, and awkward moments is embarrassing.
It seems they wanted to produce a 2nd season, and maybe they could have fixed some of the mistakes.
I loved it anyway, tho.

I FEEL INCOMPLETE
watching it for the second time NOT ON YOUTUBE made me see the whole picture that I skipped over the first time. Episode 8 was definitely my favorite, it was super cute with Kinn and Porsche acting like high schoolers dating and taking photos together and it was Porsche’s first date ever and it really warmed my heart. I was a bit confused on the last episode with what Kinn’s father was telling Porsche because it turned out he lied to him not once but twice about the death of parents but I guess I’m okay with it. The only thing I’m mad about is that fact that Kim and Chay didn’t end up together which made me feel like the story was almost incomplete . I wanted them to have their happy ending together not them crying over each other.Was this review helpful to you?
I love it!!!!
Can i just start off by saying that I haven't been this attached to a series for a longggg time. Kinnporsche, for me, has everything I could ever ask for in a series.From action, to suspense, to the storyline, to humor, to romance, it really has it all. And you know what Kinnporsche has accomplished that many series don't? Great delivery!
Now you may think that there is no series that is perfect, and i know it's a big call to make, but Kinnporsche, is perfect.
I find myself every week sitting on my laptop constantly reloading the page just so I can watch the latest episode the second it comes out. It really is an addictive show.
Now i know myself and many others only started watching this show because it's a BL, but i feel like it's so much more than that.
It really is a masterpiece!!
100% reccomend, my favourite show of all time, Kinnporsche!!!

Poor Porsche
I'm not going to write an essay.I had high hopes for it, but it never found an identity. Is it a comedy? Is it action? Is it drama? Is it horror?
Any other drama that glorified rape as this series does would be slaughtered in the reviews here, but not KP. Kinn raped an intoxicated Porsche-but everyone is fine with it. Kinn holds all the power in the relationship and treats Porsche like his favorite new obsession. There is no equality in their relationship; Kinn holds all the power. In the first episode, Porsche did Kinn a favor and lost everything in return. He has no freedom-he can't leave. He has too many psychos enthralled with him. Porsche, who started strong, has turned into a weak uke that needs rescuing every episode.
The character of Vegas is awful. He is either drugging Porsche or getting him drunk in an attempt to rape him. Vegas disgusts me. The other brother stalking Porsche's kid brother for information on Porsche is creepy for using the kid.
The song by Slot Machine is amazing. The other songs hurt my ears...because some singers should stick to lower pitches.

Anticipated series not worry it to watch at all
To be honest i waited for like 1 year and one month for this highly anticipated series. But i guess ep 1 to ep 3 never failed to amazed me. The actors acting was good.Cinematography was good and storyline. That kiss was in the right place and time in ep 3. I also enjoy laughing Porsche was transformed into a mermaid.
Ep4 this is the starting point of my disappointment, this series is romanticizing rape and drugs. Well, you would say this series for R18 but i can say this is series being shown in illegal site i would not name those site but i though lead actors want their young fans to watch it. But what i saw in ep 4 NC is non sexual sex ( rape) and plus Porsche is under influence of drugs. Nudity why not post this as well in p*rn sites.
I guess Mafia theme is being romanticize too much.
This is just my semi review i would be posting update for this once the series ends. Maybe I'll have a change of heart.

Different
I stopped watching Thai BL for a while now cos they sort of feel repetitive and cringy with bad actin. Plus I got tired of seeing those black and white uniform.Saw this show was trending worldwide and decided to give it a go. Best money I have spent in a while, is a lot different and very well done soo far, the actors can actually act and no awkward, cringy scenes. I usually mostly watch Japanese dark BL cos they always go all out and don’t shy away from intimacy. I have never watched Bts for any show in my life, this is the first one I am actually interested in the casts .
Bonus: if you are looking for all the hot people, they are in this seris. Whoever did the casting is a genius. Every one of them is an eye candy, even their daddies too.

This is not your typical bl series it discussed important topics
I really like how they portrayed the mafia story line.As an Italian (I know it doesn't affect only us but yk) I really appreciate that they showed the dark sides of being in a criminal organisation.
Most of the time they romanticise being in the mafia, but this time I think they did it in a respectful way, actually showing what mafia means.
Acting:
The acting is top tier.
The actors portray their emotions beautifully, you will feel what they are feeling, you will fell hurt and you will cry.
As psychology student I think they really researched truly how to portray important topic such us (LITTLE SPOILER)
Vegas abandon issues
Overall the TV series is one of the best in terms of acting, storyline and topic discussed.
I personally really loved every actor in this series, they all did a great job.
Hope you will enjoy this series as well❤️

watch it
As someone who was there when the first trailer dropped from filmania back in 2020, I was expecting this to be good. While there were cast changes and the whole production got moved onto BeOnCloud, it only got better. I was stoked to hear that a release date was set for the first episode.Now getting into it:
Story- I didn't read the novel so I can't compare it to that but the story line is kinda intense. There's a lot of twists and turns but all works out for the better in my opinion. There's a lot of action scenes too and blood but I mean it is abt the mafia so that's kinda a given. While there's many r-rated scenes which goes for the fact that its 21+, its not all about just sex. There are so many scenes just about love, whether through friendship, siblings, or romance.
Acting/Cast- I love the cast. I think every actor portrayed their character the best they could've. Through the behind the scenes and extra content they've put out and given us, you can see the hard work that goes behind every character. The actors all worked so hard so huge thanks to them. (I mean they're all super pretty too so like that helps XD). And I also wanna mention that Barcode, who plays porchay, is only 17 and this is his first drama, so you can kinda tell that, but he still did a hella good job acting.
Music- The theme song is hella catchy...but idky they always be playing diff versions of it. I find it hilarious that in like really cute moments, you'll have it slowed down piano vers or hot moments will be reg piano version or just emotional times it'll be no music vers. They do have other tracks but their theme song just stands out. Jeff's song Why Don't You Stay is so good. I love his voice. Barcode also did one of the ost's.
Rewatch Value- I love this drama a lot, but personally I have a hard time finding dramas that I deem rewatchable. Like I absolutely recommend this drama and theres a chance that I could rewatch it but nothing will ever hit as hard as watching this for the first time. But we'll see in a couple of months I guess.
Overall- I will miss the ride of the emotional roller coaster this brought me on. So many emotions, good, bad—moments crying out of joy and moments crying out of sadness—overall I do think this drama delivered. I highly suggest you watch it!
