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.

It deserves more
I know this show was over-hyped and that people had their expectations in the air but I went into this blind.this was my 2nd Bl I ever watched. And I must say I really enjoyed it.
The action, NC scenes and even the chemistry were pure perfection. Still I didn't rate this a 10/10 because it was not, the story got watery at one point and it seemed like they cut out a lot of really important details.
Do I reccommend it ? YES
Do I recommend it if you don't have patience ? YES (if you can stick to it after ep 9 )
Do I recommend it if you like fluffy bl's ? NO - if you don't want your hart to be broken in a milion different ways do not watch this.
Overall- If you like BL's and you didn't watch this you are a red flag. You don't need to watch it but it shows such a deep side of the cute wholesome story most of the bl's show

Give a try is so good
This series was so far one of the best that I fell in love with because of the patience, the connection, love, the mystery, the passion, the unexpected ending, and a surprise ending for some characters. Spoilers alert here so if you don't want to know just stop here.What the hell their mother is still alive she was alive this hold time. Vega's father was in love with her? WTFF wait this was too much for me. I am happy for the ending KINNPORSCHE together as one awww awww I am becoming so dramatic Porschay humm I wasn't expecting something from their relationship actually, Vegas and Pete awww(" you are no longer my pet but the most important person in my life") how cute coming from Vegas. No seriously good scripts, good choice of actors no useless characters, lovely scenery we got the chance to see at least more than 3 places, no default of sounds, the emotion was there, the vibe, the funny scenes, the sad one, happy one. I felt sorry for Big death (I was like ooh nooo Big sorry I misunderstood you, I don't want you to die) but it was too late for it even though I like him I thought he was no kind to show him in their boss room knowing what he was going to see there.

An Absolute Masterpiece
I am genuinely afraid for every bl that comes after KinnPorsche. This drama, along with bad buddy , itsab and not me, have raised the standards so high that they will almost be impossible to meet.The most enthralling thing about KinnPorsche is it’s ability to make things feel fresh. Contrary to what bls are characterised by( whereas we have the same tropes being used time and time again) this drama uses familiar storylines but reinvents the wheel completely. This does not feel like something any other company could release, it feels authentic to the actors and those working hard to bring this to our screens. It cements itself as unique and that is its strongest point.
The chemistry between the actors is also what made this drama so revolutionary. I can confidently say we have yet to see such chemistry between actors than mileapo. They are phenomenal. Amazing actors of course, but their interactions are so emotionally full and vast. There’s no boring moment with them and I often found myself blushing at certain moments. Kudos to them.
And of course, the vital things like scenery( which was amazing), the overall acting capabilities of the cast( they all did amazing) and the production( quite literally some of the most crisp productions we have seen in the bl industry) further contribute to the excellence of this drama.
Overall, I am quite pleased. Quite relieved at the idea I no longer have to wait in agony for new episodes but also quite sad that I have nothing to look forward to on Saturdays.
This will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for the past 15 weeks. They’ve been amazing.

In love with this series
Kinnporsche is definitely my one of favorite thai dramas, I think it's one of the best in the history of thai BL dramas. It cointains everything: good music, good-looking actors, good acting, perfect lighting, sweet chemistry and good quaility and it's something different than just another university stories. Of course it has it's flaws, but they are small and they don't ruin the greateness of this series.So first of all I think the drama is a bit better than the novel. Of course I'm not saying the novel is bad, I love both the drama and the novel but they are for sure different. The novel is harsh, sometimes it was too rough for me. Meanwhile the drama is comforting and calming. I adore the chemistry between actors. Especially Nattawin's acting, it was sooo good and he fits the role of Porsche very well.
Even if the relationship between Kinn and Porsche was rather tense at first, it didn't trigger my emotions like it did the novel. When I was reading the novel I often felt very annoyed with their constant bickering and conversations, but in the drama it just felt more natural, maybe because of well played emotions. As I mentioned, the chemistry between Kinn and Porsche is very sweet. The scenes are emotional and it shows the love between characters very well.
There were all kinds of actors in this series. You can see that some of them were much more experienced and some of them less. If you won't pay much attention to it you can't really see the flaws in some roles. But the main roles such as Porsche, Kinn, Vegas and Pete were well played by the actors and I think the cast was just amazing.
THE. MUSIC. OH. MY GOD.
I must say something about this work of art. The music is just fantastic, everyone knows that the music plays a huge role and this time it was just so well made I must bow and pay respect.
"Free fall" is just a freakin' masterpiece, Slot Machine did a really great job. I loved this song the first time I heard it. And the instrumental version? Oh my god. It's just perfect. It's beautiful both in thai and english.
"Why don't you stay", same feelings, masterpiece created for this series.
I was so amazed by the soundtrack, it wasn't just the same song over and over as it usually happens in BL dramas.
So about the flaws of this series. The first flaw is that they didn't give any hints for the plot at the beginning. In the novel you can see from the start that Korn knows something about Porsche. Meanwhile in the drama everything that happens at the end seems very random because there wasn't anything said about it, especially the part with his mother. But you know, you can connect everything at the end eventually so it's not a very bad flaw.
The second flaw is that I think Pete was showed too little before his own story with Vegas, because later it just seems like the side character just got an update to being a main character when in reality he was one of the main charactes all along since the beginning.
So overall it's a very well made adaptation of a great novel with an amazing an uniqe story. They did a phenomenal job and I'm loving this series very much. It will stay in my heart forever and I definitely recommend it.

WORTH IT !!
Well well here we have a completely different BL which does not include engineering students Thank God for that! Mr Pond saved us!! Thank you!!Just wanted to mention there are a lot of mixed reviews, some liked it some didnt some had good words some thrashed it. I just wanna say eveyone is not same everyone's got thier own personal choices and preferences. For me I loved the series and enjoyed it to the "T" . The acting was the "Best Part".
Bible as Vegas Build as Pete their acting skill were off the charts not being bais but just appreciating the fact. In the beginning we were there for Kinn and Porsche but as the story progresses Vegas and Pete steals the show.
Even if one is in doubt you have to give Kinn Porsche the series a watch 100% guaranteed you will not be disappointed.

BL's keep getting better and better!
I remember being hyped for the show when the first teaser trailer came out for KinnPorsche two years ago. It was upsetting when there were some issues with the original company, and thought we wouldn't be getting KinnPorsche, but two years later, here we are! I waited months for KinnPorsche to end before I finally binged it all, and I'm so happy I did! Everything about this show is just refreshing, new, and well done. First and foremost I have to talk about the actors and how amazing they did. They truly gave it their all and brought their characters to life perfectly. Apo, the actor who plays Porsche, kept blowing me away with his facial expressions and his eyes. You could feel and see so much. All of them just did so great. The chemistry between all the couples is off the charts. All the action scenes/fight scenes are well choreographed and look realistic. I honestly enjoyed every single episode and never felt bored or like I had to skip anything (episode 6 was one of my favorites!) I was genuinely invested and intrigued by every character and the storyline. The series didn't really end with any cliffhangers, but there were definitely some things I would love to see discussed in a season 2. For example, what happens to Vegas and Pete after seeing the ending. I would like to see more of Porsche, Porchay, and their mom. Also, now that Porsche is head of the minor family, I would like to see him being in charge, making decisions, navigating this new world, and of course, his relationship with Kinn continued. Kim and Porchay's relationship kind of had an open ending, and I would really like to see them get together as an official couple. The last thing I want to talk about is the soundtrack! I love the theme 'Free Fall' by Slot Machine. I added it to my playlist and have been listening to it for a couple of days now. It's just such a great song. There are a few different versions of it in the show! There's a slow instrumental cover for the romantic and emotional scenes and the regular version for action scenes. Jeff Satur, who plays Kim sang an ost called 'Why don't you stay' that's played throughout the show, and it's really beautiful. I hope we can see more action BL shows like this in the future, and I would love to see more from all the actors because they are phenomenal. The cast and crew worked so hard, and they deserve all the success for this amazing show! Fingers crossed for a season 2!Was this review helpful to you?

Overall review
The starting few episodes made me feel that the series might be boring. The storyline has been very slow till episode no. 7. Few parts of the series were just mind-blowing and also some parts made me left in tears. The time when Big was shoot to death was very sad. I didn't liked the main couple much but the side couples got my heart. Kinn Porshe's relationship was no doubt good. Bit certain times it seems like they only want each other for sex. Talking of the first side couple. The way Vegas was treating Pete when he kidnapped him made me angry and the fact that after that Pete still loved him was nonsense, but later in ep. 14 when I found there chemistry to be understanding, and the last scene of ep. 14 made me really happy. Pete's acting is of another level. Now about the 2nd side couple KimChay. There chemistry had been good, but later when Chay realised that Kim only used him for his own purpose was very heartbreaking. There story had been left with a loose end. I hope that it more parts of their story will be included in second season. Also KimChay is my favourite couple. The best scene that made me aww were when Chay was in Kim's arm in Porshe's home before being kidnapped and the 2nd one was the ending scene of the series. The characters are overall good. I think Kinn's character could have been improved. Also I didn't liked the fact that Porshe was choosing Vegas's side even though he betrayed him once. Kim is my favourite from the series. Overall the series was good, the action scenes were on another level and some parts were literally mind blowing....Was this review helpful to you?

Not Bad
This is my first BL, and I'm only watching because of Jeff Satur. I watched tons of interviews and reaction videos before deciding to watch the series. I love all of the cast, they're all good looking (except for Miles sorry). I fell in love with Build just by watching their contents because he's such a sunshine. Acting wise, they're all really good and I have zero complaint.What I find strange is the lack of women and how everyone in the circle are gay?? I mean I know this is BL but everyone's gay??Also a straight Porsche (and assumingly Pete as well) turns gay (or bi?) that fast? Pretty convenient lol
Also from their content on Youtube the supporting actors talk about their preparation for the series, character development and the way the whole cast are promoted. But it's unfortunate that they BARELY show up on the screen, let alone have lines to show their characters. Character development what? Maybe they already filmed some parts for season 2?? Idk.
Also what does Kinn (or the family for that matter) actually does? Sure, he's a mafia who runs some kind of business, but what kind of business really? He never mentioned any specifics. And the way the way just roam around all day is strange. At least with the minor family, I kinda get the idea (although still barely).
Not gonna comment on how the sex scene is kinda like rape since Porsche's drugged, because as we are all aware, the novel it's based on is a red flag in itself. Also Kinn's is like horny 24/7 or what?? Glad scenes between Chay and Kim were just pecks and cuddlesvtho. Pheww.
