One hell of a ride!
Kinnporsche is one of the best series I've had the pleasure to watch.
No, it's not perfect, the plot has few little holes/stuff that left me dissatisfied, but overall this is a product of quality that any BL fan should try to watch at least once in their lifetime.
What can you expect from KP though?
First of all, a pretty damn nice and capable cast. All the actors involved in this project did an amazing job in portraying their assigned characters, delivering funny/dramatic/cheesy/whatever scene with ease.
KP, in fact, it's not about mafia and the dark side of it, it's mostly a love story. It has very serious elements, but also lighthearted and steamy episodes. It's a mix of everything and that can be seen as a plus or a minus.
Two main couples have a proper storyline (and I admit, a third one has a weak development/plot in my opinion - but I won't spoil who I am talking about) and topics such as consent, abuse and trusting others are very well played.
Unfortunately, if there's something that sometimes KP doesn't excel at is displaying human reactions. While 3/4 of the series is okay, near the end the characters started to react and do stuff just because it was needed for the story to progress. But I repeat, this is not a common problem throughout episodes, so it's not that irritating (or, at least, it wasn't enough for me to drive me crazy and drop the rating).
To summarize, you should definitely watch KP if you're looking for a high budget thai BL with interesting couples, nice action scenes, a sprinkle of violence and steamy scenes. If you're looking for a dark thriller/realistic and raw portrayal of mafia, then forget it.
Ps. Also, if you're italian (like me), pls be prepared for broken italian with a very heavy foreign accent. I appreciated them trying tho XD
Pps. Tankhun deserves to be mentioned because this character is A+ and the reason why I gave the rating a +0.5 in my final score. God, I'd love to be his bff. We all need a dramatic Tankhun in our lives!
