Overwhelming (in a positive way)
First of all, it is really dark and rough. If someone is looking for a cute, tooth-roasting bl, I suggest to not watch KinnPorsche. But, actually this is its charm. Personally, I am really bored of the same, old sweet, cliché bl/romance dramas (there are exceptions but OK). I am really happy to watch a turn of the genre to more serious and mature themes with stories more wholesome, well written characters and better direction and cinematography.
Kinnporsche has all of them. A good, dark story with a main plot and smaller ones that complement it. Well written characters and an amazing cast to bring them to life (extra credit to Apo and Bible, they are absolutely perfect). Also, the production was really serious with movie-like work. The direction, the cinematography, the scenery, the music... (I was hooked in the first scene with Kinn, the Italians and the music...).
However, plot wise it was action-packed and fast, I really believe that they could slow down a bit and make more episodes. I think there were moments that the story was a bit rushed. A slower pace could give the characters more time to shine. I really needed a bit more depth in Kinn, Pete, Kim and Porschay. For the last three, I have hope in the 2nd season, if they finally do it. But especially Kinn, he is the main character and sometimes I was like wtf he is doing that or that... I wanted to see more of his motives.
Or maybe I am looking to say something a biit negative just to say it. Because really, what is important here is the big picture, the forest, not the tree. The evolution of the BL genre, especially the Thai. The last 2 years, we watched some great examples of good BL. "I told Sunset about you" and "I Promised you the Moon", "Bad Buddy", "Not me" and now "KinnPorsche". Series that take theirself seriously with realistic characters and a plot that goes deeper than the romance. Also, without harmful clichés and fetishism of LGBTQI+ people. Growing up, family, social problems, crime/mafia (not realistic but OK), themes popular in dramas but rare in BL dramas. I am really happy with this turn. With the success of these dramas, I am confident we will see more.
