Really strong, nearly perfect, I loved it
KinnPorsche the series has it all and I enjoyed every second. The storyline, acting, and pacing is great. I love the cast and their chemistry is great. I’ve never been one for action or mafia series but KP totally changed my mind. The BTS content is a wonderful addition.I hear and understand some of the legitimate critique of the series. I took off .5 for some problematic tropes but even those were handled pretty well considering how they were written in the novel version. I think these are far made up for in other ways in the series and I look forward to the growth of the characters. This is a mafia romance - the men in it are Bad Guys™️ which is important to know going in.
I will be watching again and again and anxiously awaiting the next season!

10/10 would 100% recommend bro this was my first BL and I love it with all my heart
Okay, maybe I'm crazy for saying this but I shipped VegasPete throughout the entire show... Like, you know in either the first episode or just somewhere near the very beginning when Vegas quite CLEARLY winked at Porsche but Porsche turned to Pete and said it was aimed at him, Pete looked so smug and it was so cute. It was so subtle but it just made me hope for something to happen between them two. And then, all those times when Vegas caught Pete stalking him, just confirmed what I thought. To be honest, usually I google what happens in a show because I want to know what I'm setting myself up for, especially if it has a sad ending because I just can't deal, but for KinnPorsche, I didn't google anything. I felt like if I found out VegasPete didn't end up together I'd cry myself to sleep. And, yes, I did cry for an hour and 17 minutes straight watching those VegasPete scenes, but it was worth it for the resolution. I lowkey feel so bad for the friend I spammed with 479 messages on the entire storyline of KinnPorsche that day because it was constant floods of messages as I was binging it. I literally finished it in one go and when I looked back on our Discord chats, I literally saw a huge window of time where I didn't send her anything because I was crying too hard. I couldn't even enjoy the KinnPorsche pool NC scene because I could barely see through my tears after witnessing such gut-wrenching acting from Bible and Build. Like, I have no idea how I still shipped Pete with Vegas while I was watching all the torture and I felt so bad for Pete but I couldn't just shake the feeling that something MIGHT happen, and it did. You can't tell me that even when Pete was getting practically obliterated, there was still sexual tension and it was 100% PURPOSEFUL. Don't get me wrong, I did constantly worry that they wouldn't get their happy ending, especially after Vegas got shot (I cried so hard then), but my hoping worked.After yapping about VegasPete so long, I think I should talk about the other side couple. Why did no one tell me I'd love KimPorchay this much? I didn't actually feel this much love towards them as I was watching the show but after finishing it, I somehow became obsessed. I'm so angry they didn't end up together like everyone else, Porchay deserved it the most out of everyone, he was basically the only green flag (apart from maybe Pete, and you can't tell me otherwise). Off topic, why is everyone labelling Pete as a red or yellow flag? He was the victim. And, yes, he went back to Vegas all those times but that doesn't mean he isn't a green flag? If anything, he's an entire forest. He was one of the best bodyguards, so cute and would never betray the people he worked for ever. Even after Vegas hurt him that badly, he still comforted him when he was upset and never did anything to harm anyone else. If you dare try to bring up the fact he shot Vegas, just take into account the fact Vegas literally KILLED Pete, only to bring him back to life again and then torture him more, and the only reason he shot Vegas was to protect him from the other bodyguards and try to prevent him from taking over the main family. He shot him in the shoulder to make sure it wouldn't kill him. That cannot be a red flag. Anyway, back onto KimPorchay. I feel like anyone who resents Kim for leaving didn't understand them at all. Like, okay, I understand where you're coming from but didn't he leave because their relationship would only complicate Porchay's life further? His older brother was already the leader of a mafia family and he didn't want to put him in any more danger or bring him any closer to the centre of it because it would literally implicate him further? He wanted to give Porchay as good a life as he could, he just didn't understand that leaving wasn't the solution. I don't hate Kim for breaking Porchay's heart, I just wish he would've gone back to him after realising his mistake instead of just sending that song. It was sweet but nowhere near enough to make Porchay realise he did actually love him all along. Porchay literally quit his dream, dyed his hair, started drinking and partying and ruining his life all because of Kim and I'll always feel so sad about that. I miss the cute little Porchay from the start of the show. Barcode portrayed him so well though and I'm glad him and Jeff are still in contact. I can't wait for Happy Ending, if it gets released. Hopefully, it's not another Wuju Bakery or I'll cry.

It is a yes for me!
Let's be real.. It's a good story, maybe some action, considering that should be a Mafia series, i was waiting more power role fights, more raw scene like the beginning when Kinn is dealing with the Italian. But then the mafia bubble is changed to "the adventures of Porsche, the new bodyguard" Some scenes are hilarious, Apo & Mile are so good in their role, but scenes like this I'd been fired on the spot for half ot these..the drama with Porsche dealing with the crude beginning of his relationship with Kinn is well depicted, but unfortunaly it seems so quickly done that makes me wonder what Porsche was really thinking about all.Kinn is well portrait by Mile, but his reluctance at the beginning with "everyone wants me dead" crushed when he gives immediately in with Porsche.. There's no real trust issues, there're misunderstandings that are just solved some moments after.
Now, on the other level, Vegas and Pete.. Bible and Build made an outstanding job for these roles, and their interactions on the screen are stunning. The story of Vegas and Pete starts in a terrible way.. torture and are not my thing, but here is mixed up with the portray of phisical and mental abuse suffered by both men. Pete has found a way to deal with it trough his inner positivity, even if that is just a blanket to cover what he really feel. He smile even when he doesn't want to, just not to disappoint others or being a burden for the people he's living with. Vegas on the other hand Is so twisted by his father, the Mafia's world he has to deal with and the messed up relationship with the main family that even years of therapy can solve his issues. And then he catch Pete and everything falls in an another level.. Is far from healed, but he tries his best to face all these reality together strieving to be just him. That been said is remarkable the acting of these two if I think that they are not the main leads and their story has an arc of 5 more or less eps and I loved it for his complexity.
Acting: 9, even though for Bible and Build I'd say 10 with merit
Music: 9.. Jeff is spectacular and "Freefall" is really a great song
Story: ok, there are some plot holes, but if you just enjoy the show it doesn't really matter.
Rewatch value? Yes!

WATCH IT!!! SO WORTH IT!!
Words cannot describe how much I absolutely love this series. I’ve watched it way too many times and it never fails to make me cry, laugh, I believe in love, etc.. the plot is so unique and really cool and so well done and the cast is amazing. Every single one of them is great, you can really tell how much effort the company put into casting these people for each roll because they fit so well and the chemistry and love they have for each other is so real. ALSO don’t even get me started on the SMUT scenes because they are beautiful. The ending is truly amazing and I cannot stress about how much I love the show!!!! it’s a 10/10!!Was this review helpful to you?
I watched every episode 4 times and I never do that
What can I say? It's just that good. Definitely the most well-produced BL series I've ever seen. The only thing that comes close is the Sammon verse (Manner of Death and Triage), in my opinion. I really struggle to rewatch things, it's even rare that a series holds my attention the first time I watch it, but KinnPorsche really gripped me tight. I dragged like four friends into the KP rabbit hole with me, all completely different people, but they were always just as convinced as I was after I forced them to watch the first episode. I think that really speaks for itself. Just a really, really good series, both as a TV show and as a BL.Was this review helpful to you?
Conflictingly great
This drama somehow tore my entire heart out and changed the course of my life. I went into it feeling uncomfortable, but kept watching out of curiosity. I kept it a guilty pleasure until I saw the ending. Then, I realised this series is probably the most meaningful to me out of every Thai drama I've watched. I ended up rooting for everyone, despite my grievances. KinnPorsche made me believe they are all human, despite their doings.The pacing of this drama is nearly too fast, which caught me very off guard. I'm used to dramas being on the cusp of boring just to fill a certain number of episodes, but KinnPorsche does the opposite. You can't really look away whilst watching. Even during softer scenes, there's a tension that won't break. It kept me engaged.
The aesthetics were perfect for this setting in my opinion. I'm easily turned off by bleak or unfitting visuals, so this was a huge plus in my book. The actors did a really great job portraying the characters. Props to them!
My biggest problem with this drama: KinnPorsche has an abundance of SA, which makes me unable to give it five entire stars. Some explicit scenes felt drawn out and without reason. It's something that turned me off a lot, especially in the first half of watching this. I strongly recommend not watching KP if this is in any way triggering to you.

So good!!!
I just finished binging this for the second time. I forgot how much of a masterpiece this show is!!What an epic journey we get to go on.
The ost is repetitive, but I think it is good. Creative that they came up with different versions of the main song to fit different moods. & ofc Jeff Satur is a God among peasants with the voice of an angel.
I'm in awe of the cast's acting skills. They sold every aspect and every emotion of their characters. I love all 3 brothers plus their cousin, Vegas. I came for Kinn and Porsche, but in the end I loved every couple (perhaps Vegas and Pete are my favorite though 😭).
Tankhun is the funniest character in this whole show. I adore him. Thanayut did a phenomenal job in this role.
I wish Porchay was aged up to 18 and portrayed by an older actor so we could've gotten more romance from Kim & Porchay, but Jeff still sold us on the love and protectiveness Kim has for Porchay without any physical intimacy happening.
Despite the couple of bad eggs that are now a stain on this masterpiece off screen, I'm grateful for this shows existence and I am sure I will watch it again and again!

H.O.T
How do I even review KinnPorsche when my brain is still just elevator music and gunshots?This show really looked at the concept of a mafia BL and said, "What if we gave them trauma, daddy issues, family wars, emotional damage, incredible suits, and enough chemistry to power an entire city?"
Kinn and Porsche had me giggling, kicking my feet, screaming into pillows, and then questioning my emotional stability ten minutes later. Mile and Apo's chemistry wasn't chemistry — it was witchcraft.
Vegas and Pete arrived and collectively decided that therapy was optional and suffering was mandatory. Their storyline altered my brain chemistry permanently.
Kim and Chay had me believing in soft love, stolen glances, and guitar songs until the universe remembered happiness isn't allowed in this family.
Tankhun? The absolute king. The icon. The legend. The emotional support cousin we all needed. Every scene he appeared in instantly became better.
Big deserved better. Arm and Pol were criminally underrated. Macau was just trying to survive whatever the hell was happening around him. Porchay deserved the entire world and a lifetime supply of happiness.
And can we talk about the production? The cinematography? The soundtrack? The fight scenes? The outfits? The budget was budgeting.
One minute you're laughing at Porsche's chaos, the next you're crying over family trauma, and five minutes later you're staring at the ceiling wondering how a mafia drama managed to emotionally destroy you this badly.
KinnPorsche wasn't a show.
It was an event.
A lifestyle.
A collective mental illness.
10/10.
Would absolutely let this cast ruin my life all over again.

Worth every second!
I usually don’t watch Thai bl but this is definitely my top 1 favorite Thai bl, everything about this show was so interesting, I was more interested in the second couple than the first couple but also the second couple was Vegas and Pete which was kinda toxic and Pete also fell in love with his OWN Kidnapper who tortured him for fun and had an opportunity to escape but didn’t…But the cast visual was insane everyone was fine!
the plot was soo good and wasn’t boring at all which this drama is about violence which is rare to make usually interesting! Definitely watch this.

DANCE IF YOU GAY BRYCE
The people are hot as fuck; I am just a pussycat and hate guns. I swear, I will watch this. I am no longer a pussycat. This shit is actually crazy good. There was a really good start and a pretty solid end. The plot stayed consistent. i hated vegas charcter with a burning passion so good acting all around. This went so crazy. I loved it, and I am so glad I finally watched it and stopped putting it off. glad to see all of the iconic scenes that i have scene as ads for youtube or on youtube shorts and those cringey bl complications because those go crazy. I felt emotionally moved; I loved the visuals and the violence, even though I hate violence. They got some hot ass men That's all I'm saying. dance if you gay bryce, is to literally everyone in the cast . Porsche will be my bias forever; he is my god. My heart and soul belong to that man. Kinn, get your hot ass in line. Okay, great show all around. Also, despite watching about 5 hours of porn a week, sex scenes had me giggling and shit; shit had me covering my eyes and giggling. There were so many good and iconic scenes. The whole drama is iconic. The story at the end had me a little confused, but thats fine. Acting went crazy because I was mad when people came on screen. The music, the theme song, is my top song on Spotify right now, so that answer speaks for itself. I would definitely rewatch this. I am surprised I haven't. a solid 9 stars out of 10. Cheers!Was this review helpful to you?

Mafia series
I was expecting more given it's hype but yeah it's good I suppose. VegasPete is really problematic and seeing people normalize it just because Pete acceptes how Vegas acts is weird, it's not because Pete "is ok" with it that it isn't toxic and terrible but yeah you can't really expect a healthy relationship in the mafia so...Was this review helpful to you?
