the best show? yes. A masterpiece ? Definetly. A piece of art? What else could it be?
What to say else but a masterpiece, reviewing this series seems so easy because there are so many good things to say about it but so hard at the same time because I can't express how much this felt like something out of this world. Beauty, that's a way to explain it, pain, that's another. If I could tell how much I loved this series I would want to say everything at once. The production is a piece of art, the casting are talented gems, the music makes you feel like you're out of this world, and the colors are stunning.I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this happen. Thank you for giving us this, thank you for everything it means for the fans. This felt like the best time of my life every Saturday.
Hope for a season 2, you have to stay...

I dont think it hit the hype.
Its clearly an unpopular opinion right now because everyone thinks this is revolutionary, and I dunno if ill get ratioed with a bunch of _you're entitled to your wrong opinion_ comments lol, but yeah.Till ep 3
I was incredibly excited for this series. Im glad we graduated engineering finally, leads have chemmy, most importantly the trailers were like art films.
And i still like that, even the finished series just screams money, but tactfully, no tackiness, just great cinematography. And COLORS.
So 9 for cinematography, ill put it in the realm of ITSAY(they have the same person on the cinematography if im not wrong?)
The actual show? Boring, standard at best, at least so far. Im not saying its bad but for ALL the hype its gotten, it still seems like a standard bl MINUS all(well...most of) the fanservice(for now), just corni unfunny slapstick(?) and slightly !emotional! filler. And random kiss at the end(GOOD kissing tho ill give em that too)
Which is ok. Ish.
Maybe itll get better. Perhaps. I'm aware they havent really gotten into the plot yet. If this review sucks, too bad , Im just really trash at explaining my thoughts but tldr basically: boring, standard at best, doesn't fit the hype(so far)
I'll probably drop it but have fun watching i guess.
Edit: watched ep 4
?? I don't know whether it's considered rape or what but Porsche guy being drugged out of his brains made this uncomfortable.
It's also very very very explicit which also made me uncomfortable for no reason because I can imagine how awkward it is for them to film lol.
At least it's less tryhard 'funny' this episode so I'll consider that a slight improvement.
That said nothing really has happened yet plot wise, save for komedi.
Unless that whole thing with the drug thinghas any relevance beyond being a convenient set up for seggsy content. Ah we have finally descended into the fanservice.
Will I watch the rest of this? Of course I will, even if it's just to shit on it :p but I'll wait for it to pick up on the plot and comment!:::
I'd rate it a 6
*Watched ep 5
I'm liking this alot better. Much of the garbage humour is done away with, I appreciate that. They made Porsche angry about the dubcon thing and the general disrespect, also appreciated that.
And why is vegas so....🌝 attractive
It's still kind of bland in my opinion so I'll just keep it at 7
Also the pacing? Has anything really even happened yet? I'm aware the drugging is serious stuff but at this point it just feels like a random isolated event right now and if they go at this pace they'll be rushing through some of the later parts
Maybe the kidnap scene brings more to this, of course

Free Fall into the world of KinnPorsche
There is a massive shift in the world and everything around us. We can see this change in almost anything and everything. One of them is in the entertainment industry. As networks have woke up to the fact of what the viewers want to see and desire, they have started to accept many types of genres that reflect not only their own lifestyles but the lives of those around them and what they all go through. Everyone’s story and voice are now given importance. This is where they have started to accept many shows, movies and books that have massive incorporation of LGBTQ characters and storylines.One of those types of series is called the ‘KinnPorsche’, which is a 2022 Thai action romance drama television series based on a web novel. The series follows Porsche as he finds himself drawn into the mafia underworld by Kinn Theerapanyakul, who are the main leads, which is played by Mile and Apo.
There is so much rollercoaster of emotions in this. From having the characters and actors pulling you into it and having your soul sucked dry. As each week passes by, they leave you wanting and waiting for more. Not just the two man leads, but all the other actors and characters make sure that they leave a mark in your heart. Be it the theme song, or the setting, everything captivates you and sends you into their world. And I am so glad that I have picked this up!
This is one such show that made me fall in love with the Thai series all over again even though I am from a totally different culture. And that speaks volumes, to have an audience from all around the world. KinnPorsche is doing that. As days pass, I am sure that this will definitely be one such show that will keep growing. To anyone who wants some action and boys love drama, pick this one up. You definitely will not regret it. Especially when the men in them are all such great talents. So what are you waiting for? Pick it up!

Surprised
I thought this series got cancelled? when the other production company said they ran out of funds or something like that and the writer quitting. I am actually in shock this get made. This new one looks soo expensive, they must have spend a huge budget.What actually shocked me the most is the acting In this series, everyone was on point I will continue to watch to see how this goes .
I love the guy playing porche, he is my spirit animal. Soo bubbly . I love all the cars they used as a car lover .

DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR TIME!!
I never write reviews but I had to because I’m actually shocked at the number of negative reviews, for me personally this is one of the best BLs I have watched, I honestly don’t know what people are expecting from this drama to have such a negative view on it?As this drama is based on a book the writers and directors have done a great job in cutting out parts of the book to make it fit in 14 eps and still keeping the flow of the story.
Every episode goes by so quick it’s painful to wait for a week and I’m also guilty of skipping parts in series that I find boring BUT not once have I ever skipped anything in KinnPorsche!!
What I look for in a drama is for it to be entertaining, good acting and good OSTs and for me KinnPorsche definitely has it so I strongly recommend to everyone GO WATCH IT!! It’s honestly so good you won’t regret it 😌🫶🏼

Amazing show. Beyond my expectations and mind blowing.
Where to begin. Excellent cast,cinemtography and production. It is a fast paced ,funny,Action packed and Romance BL drama.The chemistry of Kinn and Porche is top notch. The plot was interesting from the beginning without any boring moments. We not only root for main couple but also the supporting cast who have done wonderful job.Porche was a relatable character as he struggled to make ends meet but fell for his boss Kinn .Mile and Apo's performance is praise worthy. Not only that but,Apo's performance makes me feel that no one could have been a better choice for this role .
Mafia boss Kinn was intimidating in the beginning but we soon get to know that he is a gentle vulnerable soul. His skilled bodyguards come handy in dire situation but at home they are goofy and relaxed. Porche's friendship with other bodyguards and his drunk moments are memorable scenes to watch.
Tankhun is a funny and weirdo brother but he is the MVP of the show. His scenes are filled with drama and funny banter. No actor could have played Tankhun better than P'tong.
Thats the beauty of the show we cant imagine some other actor playing these characters .Props goes to the casting director.
I am short of words now. So go ahead and watch this amazing show.

Expectations fulfilled
When the trailers were released initially, the storyline was action filled and intense. The actual end result is still very intense with more comedy involved than originally projected. The acting is excellent. The comedy interjects a change of pace between the more intense moments. I understand employing Porsche as a fresh element hopefully not influenced to spy on the "main" family. The first kiss and the first sexual encounter were both under the influence of alcohol and later drugs. The lack of clear consent in the sexual encounter was concerning, but the sexual tension and sensuality were intoxicating. Porsche's frequent drunkenness is somewhat unbelievable since his role of bodyguard is so critical to Kinn's well-being. However, Porsche's playfulness and mild contempt for authority is an appealing part of his character. Kinn seems narcissistic but occasionally the storyline gives an impression of a deeper story. I'm only 5 episodes into the series, but I'm definitely hooked.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best BL watched till now...
I love beautiful BL stories but not always the fluff. This BL series gives you butterflies with its stories, production, action, and its executions. All the actors are great. This is the first time am like stuck in a BL world and can't do normal stuff...It's always on the mind. Highly recommended but make sure you read the tags as it has mafia, action, and many other such tags which many times can be not your cup of tea. But it's a fictional story which I enjoy as I enjoy reading any story/novel But seeing it on screen is on another level experience. Hats off to the whole team...Was this review helpful to you?
Ohh My God! Talk About Delivering on a Promise…
I remember watching the preview on Youtube and being completely blown away. Well here we are almost two years later and the completed series is blowing me away. Let's just say the producers are not pulling any punches. They went all out. Four episodes in and the romance between Kinn and Porsche is through the roof. After watching several reaction videos on Youtube I knew the time had come for me to hall out my credit card and pay for my subscription to IQiyi so that I could enjoy full screen, complete episodes. Imagine that…the KinnPorsche series caused me to subscribe to a channel.The delivery of Porsche's character is so well done. He is a wonderfully, smiling screw-up which makes him completely charming and endearing. And—Kinn's protectiveness of Porsche is making me drool. I simply love it.
I will be quite honest, I am somewhat terrified of the possible ending of this series. It is after all very "mafia-esque" in its delivery so I don't see them happily riding off into the sunset. Though, if I had my own way, that is how I would end the series.
If you have not watched it yet, the end of episode four is a must. I have rewatched it about ten times already. Porsche's doped-up character makes the scene so wonderfully charming.
I am truly looking forward to the rest of this series even though I am apprehensive about the end.

Disturbing and so far pointless.
The acting is the only thing worth watching in this series.Honestly, every part of the writing from the first episode to the 4th (which I admit is where I stop) has been absolute crap. The only character that feels like he deserves better than what he gets is Porsche's little brother. All the other characters are bad people to some degree. Even Porsche and Kinn, who we are meant to be the protagonists are not characters that I feel much sympathy for. Also, other than serving as a backdrop to our scary relationship nightmares, does this story have an actual plot? So far, no.
The love story portion of this is extremely problematic. I know this is meant to be mafia and therefore not child friendly, but if you wanted to make it mafia and guns blazing, why advertise it as a BL which is supposed to be romantic? There is nothing romantic or even worthwhile about this story. And since other than the violence and sex, I see no actual plot, I can't imagine that this story is intended to be anything other than a romance. So far, all they've done is set up the relationship between Kinn and Porsche, which, again, is problematic at best.
Kinn is a horrible person. Other than the most basic of character arc, where he meets someone who becomes important to him and falls in love (which is questionable, I want to say possessive lust instead), he has no real value as a character. He is supposed to be the protagonist, but if he's the protagonist, the antagonist is Satan himself. As far as I can see, this character has no redeeming qualities and SPOILER ALERT: he rapes his bodyguard. Kinn takes advantage of Porsche twice when he is in a terribly vulnerable state. One time, amounting to rape as Porsche had been drugged and could not in any way be considered consenting. After that, we are still expected to support this couple and hope they get together? Not on the likely.
The story is also amazingly unbelievable. Apparently Kinn's an amazing fighter, but only when the story calls for him to beat up his bodyguard -- the same bodyguard who bested 4 people in order to protect Kinn when he was running away and unable to defend himself. It's amazing that Kinn was able to improve his skills so much so quickly, isn't it? I mean, how else do we account for Kinn being able to beat up Porsche when the story calls for it but need Porsche's help because he's not able to protect himself when the story calls for that?
Knowing what would be in store for the Vegas and Pete couple IF the series followed the actual book, is just another reason that I can't support this series. The only reason this was written was as a backdrop for porn rape fantasies by writers who probably have no idea what it is like to actually be raped because if they did they wouldn't write this garbage. The series itself isn't much better than the original stories, but at least we don't have to be subjected to Vegas and Pete as they were originally written.
For people who want to watch something with a little vague kind of story based on a mafia family full of violence and action -- you have come to the right place. If you want that and a love story, don't hold your breath. The only love happening in this story so far is the love Porsche has for his brother and the deep and abiding love that Kinn has for himself. I am sure some people are going to come back and tell me that they are mafia, after all, so I can't expect it to be all rainbows and butterflies. And you are right, it is a story about the mafia, but let's don't pretend that it's about love. It's about violence and sex with very little other story beyond that. The overall story itself, other than the abusive relationship going on between Kinn and Porsche, is vague to say the least. Is there a plot and a point outside of the violence and sex and abuse? So far, I'm going to say no. (I realize I've said some of these things twice, call it forgetful, redundant, or placing emphasis -- whatever makes you happy.)
As I said earlier, the only worthwhile part is the talented actors, who have clearly done as much as they could with the poor plot. There is absolutely no redeeming value to this story line, at least up until episode 4. Having learned from the novel what might be coming up, (AGAIN WITH SPOILERS) with Kinn and Porsche somehow ending up happy together and Pete thinking he's in love with the man who tortured and raped him -- I find it disappointing that this series was given the green light in the first place. What does it say about our culture that stories where the worst people do the worst things to each other and end up in love in a hazy pink land of "no, my boyfriend didn't rape me" and also have no real value in the plot department are the stories that are turned into a TV series and promoted to the world?
To be honest, I could be watching porn with no story line at all and feel less shame about my viewing activities. I was conflicted about this story at first, wanting to give it a chance because there aren't very many options in BL, but now I realize that was short sighted. If I want BL to have better options in the future, I have to refuse to support trash BL when it is offered. The only guilt I feel now is that I actually bothered to watch 4 episodes.

KinnPorsche is not bad not so good as well
Most of the BL fans waited for this anticipated series.Yes, the first three episode are what i expected it to be so fun the cast are doing great and romantic kiss perfect for me.
But what i dont like now ep 4 my mind when crazy i partial read the novel bcoz it has lots of violence, rape, bdsm and i know its R18. But i am seeing this being shown in illegal site. Yes, some are paying but hacker and scammer are posting this in porn site. What is this the quality that you saying great cinematopgraphy. Great scene for porn like in porn site. And wait about that drugs does your series supporting that drugs in ep 4 not only that but non consent sex is called Rape adding drugs not very good to watch. People are praising this series even magazine saying future of BL.
Right now ep 7 Porsche is drunk and maybe little drugs was on his drunk. He said himself his a heavy drunker but his drunk already. His was almost got non consexually sex again. This series is wasted. Garbage for me. 4/10
