Not what I expected
✨️It was more than I expected.✨️-SO GOOD.
I was really scared to start this one,but woahhh,I'M GLAD I DID.
This had the potential to be my favorite ,but honestly it didn't.I can still give it a 9-10.
1. The first think I can think about is how much I loved Porsche, no need to explain why .
2. The ost? 💯%
3.The whole plot was just a masterpiece, I finished it 2 day ago and I already miss the vibe it gave me SO MUCH.
4. I rarely find shows where I just LOVE the acting of all the actors and simply enjoy all of their screen time. It was pure art for me.
5. Can we talk about Tankhun? I ADORE HIM. He was such a cutie from the very start. His actions, words and interactions with his bodyguards,especially Pete (listen,that boy,I loved him so much too) were just 🔛🔝. I can't imagine KinnPorsche without him.
6. The story of Kinn and Porsche? I can simply just ignore everything bad about it. (I won't lie,I know there were some toxic parts,none of them was an angel) but I didn't really notice them while watching. For me,it was just perfect,their chemistry was on another level of chemistring and nobody can change my mind. The way their story progressed> (My favorite part is that part between the ep 1 and 14.)
7. Kim and Porchay? I liked their story and ending too,it wasn't really that sad for me,it was just the better option,it was hard for them to trust,at least Chay knew Kim loved him after everything that happened,he always did,he just didn't choose the best way to show it. (That scene where Kim was fighting for their lives in the back and Chay was just enjoying his time with the headphones, I laughing and thinking it was me trying to ignore my problems).
8. Huh,Pete and Vegas? Wow,ok,I'm gonna be honest,I don't really understand the hype. I knew they would end up together and I knew what kind of story they have too(before wathing),but still had hopes that it's gonna be better. I told myself that I'm not gonna fall for them and yes,I did a little,they were cute somehow but I couldn't ignore ...it was so toxic...
I can't love Vegas with all my heart He tortured him man...he was so wrong... did that thing with him and then again,Did Pete so dirty...in the end : "please don't leave me" .Really? I wanted at least more apologies.
Poor Pete,he fell for him and yes,the heart wants what it wants. So my bottom line is that if they hadn't ended up together, I wouldn't have been sad.
Somehow I feel guilty about my good opinion because I very clearly noticed other BAD parts, but idk, I liked it and that's it, I just can't deny how much I enjoyed watching it. This got the power over me,it's an exception,I promise. I am proud of the opinions of others.✌️

LE MEILLEUR BL JAMAIS CRÉÉ
KinnPorsh restera à tout jamais LE BL ultime selon moi. Le casting est exceptionnel, chaque personnage est parfaitement incarné et parfaitement à sa place. L’histoire est bien rythmé, on ne s’ennuie à AUCUN moment.Le couple Mile-Apo est iconique, et les side couples sont tout aussi important selon moi, ce qui est rare. On s’attache à absolument tout les personnages présent dans l’histoire, même ceux considérés comme « mauvais ».
Apo est un powerbottom de ouf, il ne se laisse pas faire, il est rigolo et un peu maladroit mais il sait ce qu’il veut.
Je n’ai rien à dire de négatif à propos de kinnporsh. Je l’aime d’amour. Je recommande à n’importe qui de le regarder et je regrette moi même de l’avoir déjà vu car je n’aurai plus la chance de le redécouvrir.

NO DOUBT. WATCH IT RN.
This was my first bl i watched 2 years ago and my expectations are now high because of it. i really enjoyed the series and all the couples. Almost everyone had chemistry and soo many good ships. The character development was also amazing and very clear. The main couple didn't take up too much time and everyone had a good number of scenes. The only problem? Not long enough, i could have had like 20 seasons and not complain. Still in my top 5 evem after 2 years and over 60 dramas, it is truly a masterpiece.Was this review helpful to you?
Bestest of the Best!
Well, all I can say is the actors are very good looking and very talented especially Bible and Build; Bible, who executed psychotic and domineering mafia; Build, who is cute, overthinker and masochist caring person. Kinn and Porsche the manly Top and Bottom couple who are passionate.Plot and the twist is not that typical BL series we are watching before. This series nailed it!
Thank you KinnPorsche La Forte Series for the great job. Hope there's a season 2. Season 2 that is still the best without making Vegas and Porsche a toxic character.
Very worth to wait and watch 😍

Just perfect
I just finished watching KinnPorsche again, and honestly, this is one series I can never get tired of. I’ve already watched it four times, and I can easily watch it many more times. It’s one of those rare shows that keeps pulling you back no matter how many times you’ve seen it.The biggest highlight for me is definitely Mile and Apo. Their performances as Kinn and Porsche were incredible. The chemistry between them felt so natural and intense that it completely carried the emotional weight of the story. They didn’t just act the roles — they truly became the characters. Every scene between them felt powerful, whether it was romantic, emotional, or dramatic.
What surprised me the most about the series is how it balanced two completely different tones. On one side, the story is quite dark, dealing with the mafia world, violence, and power struggles. But at the same time, the show also has many light and heartwarming moments that make you laugh and feel attached to the characters. That mix made the series very unique compared to many other BL dramas.
The casting overall was excellent. Every actor suited their character perfectly, and the group dynamic felt very real. I was personally hoping to see a little more romantic development between Jeff and Barcode’s characters, but even without that, they still did a good job and added an interesting layer to the story.
And I absolutely have to mention Tankhun, played by Tong. He was honestly one of my favorite characters in the whole series. His personality, humor, and dramatic reactions made every scene he was in unforgettable. He brought so much energy and fun to the show, and without him the series would definitely feel incomplete.
Overall, KinnPorsche is one of the most memorable BL series I’ve watched. Strong acting, great chemistry, and unforgettable characters make it truly special.

This is a must watch
The actors are great. Mile and Apo's chemistry burns like fire. Its so natural, too. They ate in every show I've watched them in thus far. At first I was mesmerized by Apo because I love a melanated man! But the more I watch Mile, and the more I see them together, I really love him too, his looks and his on-screen presence.Build, I miss you so much! I'm not in the weeds enough to know the whole story but dammit!
Bible is peak sexy, deliciously evil, and intensely emotive in KP, and yet I've also seen him deliver perfectly timed comedy elsewhere. I enjoy watching him act. And no one should be that beautiful. It hurts my eyes. Again, I like a man with a little seasoning.
Jeff and Barcode were so cute but they wounded me along the way.
And Tong. What can I say? Such a perfectly executed performance. He's one of my favorite characters in KP. Tong, if you're reading this hit me up because I'm pretty sure we are fated lovers. Give me your LINE ID so we can work out the logistics.
There are so many good scenes. Emotional, suspenseful, sexy, and deeply humorous. There are also a few writing fails, but nothing that ruined it for me. Amd the music is good! A must watch for BL aficionados.

Might be one my favorite drama of all time...
After I watched it for the first time, I just thought it was pretty decent. But as days passed by, this drama put my in a slump. Nothing was giving me joy like watching KP MV's. If you are a dark romance girlie, you will absolutely eat this up. I obviously would not recommend this to everyone. If you are triggered by dub-con/torture... this ain't it.Let me start off by saying that the cast/screenwriters completely carried this drama. The storyline is basic af. The fact that so much was changed and adapted lets you know how much everyone elevated this. Every couple shine in their own way (different couples for different levels???). The main couple was just chef kiss. And I am not talking about the toxic consent/non-consent parts. Straight up, they have one of the best on-screen chemistry I have ever seen in an asian drama. When they kissed, it doesn't feel weird or out of place (like kissing a plastic cardboard). They played their parts so well that it's easy to get lost into. Their tension and attraction is never lacking.
This has the perfect amount of everything (humor, romance, action, etc...) without going overboard. I didn't feel bored because they pacing was pretty decent and cohesive enough. The only weakness (IMO) in the cast/acting was Barcode but understandably he was very young compared to the other cast member. However, his cuteness and innocence really shine through in Porchay. I do love KimChay chemistry/dynamic. My second favorite.
The couples are very toxic in different ways but the acting is so good. They elevated the characters and brought them to life. I cannot believe this is BIble first time acting. I am impatient waiting for his next project. Although I didn't really care for his character/romance--I see the potential.
Soundtrack and cinematography was great. I dig the color palette.
I'm gonna be real, I can rewatch this drama a couple times a year LOL.

Earlier this year, I expected more from KeixYaku that has a similar story, but Thailand packs it more adorable and of course many surprises. Stories about 2 different mafias, or between two opposite professions (such as police vs mafia) are the mainstay themes that I always look forward to every year.
KinnPorsche "only" tells about the romance between the Boss and his Body Guard, as we’ve seen in Golden Blood. However, these two series from the same country have very opposite qualities (like a huge gap). When I first watched KinnPorsche, I actually had my doubts, considering that a lot of people had predicted this series since the beginning of the pandemic. Of course my concerns are justified, remembering what happened with TarnType 2 back in 2020.
But again KinnPorsche offers a breath of fresh air. With an unusual story flavor coupled with a side couples were able to get more attention (at least mine). And the finale episode made my emotions go up and down, although in the end this series was able to make me smile widely until the last second.
The problem is, I feel like this series hasn’t finished yet. Many secrets still being uncovered, especially the riddles of Mr. Korn and (of course) his (big) family. Plus the love stories of Kim-Porschay and Vegas-Pete which made me hanging. I need another season!!!! 😭😭😭

I was not disappointed
I came into the show blind without watching trailers, clips, and did not read the novel, so I was not looking forward to anything. But I did come into this knowing it was a BL, so I was waiting for that aspect. The biggest thing that this show has done, which none other has done for me before is that the anticipation for a new episode every Saturday was always high. So I did love that it was very dramatic until the end, if you love the SLOW BUILD, this show is NOT for you. Everything happens very fast, to the point that you might even miss things and have to come to the internet to realize some stuff. Was it perfect? No. Did I love it? Very, much.**Spoilers ahead**
Some things you will see might be triggering, and it would be best if you can't handle torture, violence, blood, and sex while drugged (yes that's how I'm calling it), you might have to step back. Many characters that are complex and very flawed, and I think that's exactly what the show wanted to portray.
This show has handled some heavy topics very well in my opinion especially Porsche's ''rape''. And because Kinn and Porsche ended up in a relationship after they had sex while Porsche was drunk does not mean the show is romanticizing rape, please.
The whole VegasPete relationship, I can understand how some people might not like it, very understandable. At first I didn't know how the show was going to portray such a complex dynamic. But they did very well, to the point that I was rooting for them to have a happy ending.
** End of Spoilers**
In conclusion if you were expecting Casa Del Papel or The Godfather SORRY. it's not. It's just a show, with a dash of mafia and a lot of gay. And the soundtrack is so great.

This series' reputation preceded itself.
Boy, did it deliver, in way more ways than I expected.Only minutes into first episode, the production and music both proved to be top notch. The cinematography is gorgeous to look at. By the end of the first episode it was clear the actors and writing were quality as well. With writing, it's hard for me to tell how much of the quality is the original script and how much goes to the translation. Maybe it's a combination of both.
The characters behave logically, and their motivations feel believable, even if they're immoral choices. It's incredibly satisfying watching the character arcs, and the tension built between characters flows smoothly. There is so little to complain about in every aspect of this show that I thought it'd be a sin not to leave a review.
It's remarkable how the writing transforms your opinions of the characters too. You might start out feeling one way about a character, and before you realize it you feel the opposite way about them.
Something is to be said for the little moments of humor. I didn't expect them with the tone of the show, but not only were they welcome but they fit perfectly when they happened.
There's multiple couples explored and all of them are very different types of relationships that explore very different obstacles. I feel like they were balanced well without detracting from the main storyline. All of them have chemistry too.
I'll say one thing, based on its reputation, I was honestly surprised there weren't more love scenes (and I watched the La Forte version). The way people talked about it, I thought it might be one of those 'every episode' kind of shows, or 'every other episode,' but that was not the case. I will say the scenes lasted longer and went farther than any other show, but to me it added to what the show has to offer. It's not graphic, and it's not so often that it feels excessive. The scenes are carefully placed in terms of the evolution of the characters involved. And I'll reiterate here: the cinematography is gorgeous in these scenes as well.
Without spoiling anything, my one wish is that certain characters had a more conclusive onscreen ending. It was left a little open ended without making it clear to the audience what might happen next between them. But honestly that is one of the only missteps I can think of, but the only missteps happen at the end of the last episode.
Literally everything else, I can sing nothing but praises.
I thought Manner of Death had high production value, but this one was even higher.
Watching this honestly felt like watching an award winning show/movie. Every little thing just fell into place in an amazing way that was extremely satisfying.
