watch it if y'all still haven't watched it
I will fall short of adjectives explaining and talking about KinnPorsche the series, I mean what a show man, what a show!!! awesome!! watched it when it was ongoing, have been watching all the episodes since then ON REPEAT, it has become my comfort drama.All the actors are so so so good, each one justified their characters so so so well! Wow I am in love with all the characters! Kinn Porsche, Vegas Pete the first lead couple and the second lead couple will make you laugh, smile, cry and Kim Chay the baby couple I felt so bad for them in the end!
It had every element one show must have, it was not just a typical romcom BL drama, but BL drama with lots of actions, romance, comedy, drama, suspense, and omg talk about suspense I would not really want to give any spoilers in my review but only people who already watched it or have read the novel we know what all happened in the 14th episode!!!!!
There was no episode which seemed boring or plain, every episode was like a roller coaster ride, and the last episode was just AWESOME.. omg! the range of emotions we felt during the last episode, I guarantee all the KPTS fans who watched the last episode felt that!
omg! I am still hooked to that drama, I am sure I am not getting over it anytime soon!!
ONE OF THE BEST BL DRAMAS! I AM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO BL DRAMAS, AND AFTER WATCHING KPTS, (NO OFFENCE TO ANY FANS OF OTHER BL DRAMAS HERE) I FIND NO BL DRAMA AS INTERESTING AS KINNPORSCHE THE SERIES! KPTS HAS RAISED THE BARS OF BL DRAMAS! AND I GUESS NO ONE CAN DENY IT!! I AM WAITING FOR SEASON 2 I BELIEVE THERE IS SEASON 2 AS WELL! THAT CANNOT BE THE ENDING I AM SURE!!
I laughed and felt ticklish for kinnporsche, cried and later smiled for vegaspete, felt sad for kimchay!! not to forget Tankhun, one of the besttttttt characters omg!! childish yet most sensible person in the house, he proved how sensible he was every time there was problem in the family, none of his doubts were wrong and he used brains most of the time!

This is good but not perfect.
After watching it, I do understand why ppl loved and hated it all at the same time. Tbh, the first few episodes was so good, you will literally get hooked and will definitely stay to know more. But I have to agree with what other reviews have said, in the latter part of the story, idk but it get so confusing & a bit annoying at the same time.STORY: (I haven't read the novel so this is base on my understanding in the series itself)
Tbh, the story is fantastic but not perfectly executed. Idk if its really the goal of the series, to make us all confused and annoyed but that's how I felt especially on the last 4(?) episodes. Also the ending felt too rushed or is it just me?.
I guess what I like abt the most in this storyline is how it is connected together and being polished in the end. I would say; trust issues will really hit you rock hard here in this series.
ACTING/CASTING: One word; spectacular.
The actors and their acting really did blend together so well esp Bible and Build. Dont get me wrong, I love how Mile and Apo portrayed Kinn and Porsche but I have to agree with others that BibleBuild nailed this one so much.
I do know that this wasn't the original cast for KP, some have been changed.. but tbh, the casts who have portrayed it now, NAILED IT so much.
MUSIC: Iconic.
Free Fall & Why Don't You Stay? Unforgettable?
FOR THE REWATCH VALUE: its still up to u tbh.
But for me, this kind of series is good for one time only. Maybe, will rewatch some scenes but not the whole series.
OVERALL REVIEW — is it worth the watch? Yes.
As a BL fan for a long time, I can say that 'so far' this has the BEST mix of genres in a series esp in the aspect of Action. But still I have to stand for my say that; Yes, this series is good but its not perfect. Why? Watch it to know :))
Ps. I entered as Apo biased, got out with Bas ?

Enjoyable but definitely questionable
There’s about a million things wrong with this show lol like a massive amount of toxicity in like every single relationship but it does meet it’s purpose as a show, it’s interesting and it catches your attention.Kinn and Porsche are cute, it’s almost disgusting actually lmao. I hope Chay and Kim will make peace too. Pete though… he’s probably my favorite character and I cannot believe they did that to him. I was kinda crushed when Vegas got shot just because Pete suffered but let's be real it'd been best for him if Vegas had died like ??? Why would you give someone so sweet such a tortuous (literally) relationship and such a nasty person for a partner? I do not understand. How can you ever act as if your partner hadn’t literally kidnapped and tortured you for days in the worst possible ways? It’s seriously disgusting. And no kind of trauma justifies that one, I do not care. I hope Pete gets help with his Stockholm syndrome fr. And Kinn and Porsche and everyone else but Tankhun just kinda forgetting about him… Yeah no.
Plot-wise, it’s painfully obvious that there’s something wrong with Porche’s and Chay’s mom and there’s definitely even something else that Mr. Kohrn is hiding (what’s new), so I admit that I’m curious, so I will probably end up watching season 2. But seriously, choose another target cause there’s so much emotional damage and trauma that a person can process and I feel like porsche is at his very limit give him a break?
Last thing I wanna say is that the entire cast is insanely gorgeous. They seem super nice too I may or may not have ended up following some of them on Instagram?

Wasted potential.
I finished this show the day the last episode aired, but I’m only writing a review now so bare with me if I don’t remember certain details.It’s entertaining. The ships had chemistry. Actors have pretty faces. Unfortunately, that’s it.
A Mafia BL series with production as high as KinnPorsche could’ve been one of the best BLs of our generation. But.. they just.. blew it. Watching this show felt like watching a rom-com that took place in a mafia setting rather than an actual mafia series. I love rom-coms, don’t get me wrong, but if you’re going to advertise this as a mafia BL then why does it not feel like one?
However I think it’s most important I address the big, giant, obese elephant in the room. Sexual assault.
Kinn raped Porsche. It’s that simple. How many times do I have to say that people under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol cannot properly consent before BL fans get it? Porsche was extremely drunk. His judgement was severely impaired, he could not consent. Kinn took advantage of Porsche being drunk to have sex with him. That is rape.
The sex scene in Episode 7 (i think? the bathroom one) also had me feeling icky. While I don’t think the screenwriters intended for Porsche to be drunk during that scene, I had to rewatch it to catch that. If I’m remembering correctly, Porsche was drunk when Vegas kissed him. I find it insanely hard to believe he completely sobered up by the time Kinn came in, but I also think that’s just a plot hole.
Vegaspete. Ew. Just. Ew. If you liked Vegaspete, there is something wrong with you. I don’t know how you could watch those scenes and not feel sick to your stomach for Pete. But I guess because they had a “hot” sex scene, it doesn’t matter. I’m not going to ramble about that because if you didn’t see the issue just by watching the series, then you’re a lost cause.
And the cousins plot.. Lord help me. I still like to think that I imagined that and that it isn’t real, cause what the fuck?? When the show was airing, I remember having weekly prayer circles that they wouldn’t keep the cousins storyline from the novel. I suppose my prayers were not answered.
I’ve been very negative this whole review, so here’s a few things I did like.
- Porchay. NOT KimPorchay, but only Porchay. He’s a cutie.
- Arm. Also, ArmPete ghostship.
- Soundtrack. Free Fall is a banger.
- Episode 6. Actually showed some of the potential the series had. I wish more of the series was like Episode 6, cause that was REALLY good.
In conclusion, I really wouldn’t waste your time. There’s just so many issues that can’t be ignored and if you’re normal to any capacity, you’ll hate it.

You weren't exactly supposed to like VegasPete.
I want to start off by saying I loved this show—the acting, the cinematography, the music—everything was done so well, and the characters are incredibly lovable! They did a very good job adapting this from the book, and by "good job" I mean they took literal trash and turned it into gold, A.K.A. please by god do not touch the book with a 6-foot pole if you value your sanity.There's a lot of things I could talk about with this BL that I absolutely loved, but I want to focus on one thing I don't see a lot of people understanding with this show: and that is the extremely toxic relationship that is VegasPete.
My biggest issue with most BL dramas is—and always will be—the romanticization of SA and/or abuse. There is nothing 'cute' about getting kissed under the influence when you did not consent, nor being held down and touched when you clearly do not want to be. Sometimes it's the dynamic, yes, but I'm not talking about that; I'm talking about the too-many instances where it crosses the line (coughtharntypecough).
There's a big difference between when BL's show these things happening and condemn it, and when they play it off as a joke or romanticize it. BIG. DIFFERENCE. This show somehow managed to do both!
Everything with Vegas and Pete made me extremely uncomfortable, and the "happy ending" they got felt... bittersweet. Pete fell in love, yes, but the mental trauma inflicted on him by Vegas is undeniable, and they both seriously need therapy if any form of a healthy relationship is to exist between the two of them. But that's just the thing, right? This was SUPPOSED to be a toxic relationship, that's what it was written to be. So why do I see so many people online romanticizing what happened to Pete?
It really gets under my skin, seeing fans look at these two and find them "cute"—you're allowed to like the actor (Bible and Build)'s dynamic cute, you're allowed to find VegasPete's story interesting, and you are allowed to favor it, but please stop looking at these toxic relationships and viewing it as "romantic" because it isn't, it's damaging to the queer community for you think like this.
Anyways, there's my two cents! Take from it what you will, but as someone who is gay, this particular thing just happen to be getting on my nerves. Again, I love this series, it's one the best to come out of the BL scene this year, but I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it if I didn't bring this up. :)

Even with its many flaws, I love this show
KinnPorsche created a shift in me that I don't know how to explain.Before watching it, I had watched the Eclipse that got me into Thai BL shows and it was fairly enjoyable. After that, me and my mom (who got me into those shows in the first place) started watching KinnPorsche and I have to say, I'm not the same person since.
First of all, the presentation is incredible. Even when you don't compare it with what the Filmania trailer showed (which was so cheap looking and amateur-ish), it's beautiful and so well put together. There were some issues that I couldn't overlook - extras who were supposed to be dead were slightly moving in the background, hair length changing between scenes, daytime changing to night time in a matter of minutes, wounds disappearing and reappearing etc - but I noticed most of those upon rewatches of the show, so a newcomer probably won't notice them, unless they are very perceptive. Besides that, though, the cinematography, directing, editing, lighting, costume design, set design, all of it was so professionally presented and the attention to detail impressed me.
I want to focus a little on the music because I pay a lot of attention to it whenever I watch a series or a movie. And I have to say, the music was one of my favorite aspects of the show. I spent hours trying to find every single piece on YouTube and was happy that most of it was Royalty Free music, since it was easier for me to discover. Each piece was chosen spectacularly and fit with the scene perfectly. The theme song was very catchy and fun to listen to, as well as its variations they were using as background music throughout the show. Jeff Satur's song stuck in my head for many days after finishing KinnPorsche, his angelic voice resonating with me. But my favorite song has to be Season Five's. When we heard the vocals as viewers during that particular sad scene, my heart broke, it was devastating and beautiful.
The acting was phenomenal and all of the actors and actresses deserve praise - which they got eventually and that makes me so happy for them. Many of them were rookies but they were so good at their respective roles that you wouldn't even notice. The most notable example being Bible who played Vegas, easily one of the best actors of the show. The way he portrayed Vegas, arguably the most difficult role of all, is astounding and I have nothing but respect for his talent and determination to give it his all. Other notable performances were Apo's, who played Porsche, and Build's, who played Pete. Those three, for me, were the best actors of the series, each giving a unique and memorable performance for their amazing characters.
Speaking of characters, some of them I loved and some of them I loved to hate. My favorite character was easily Pete, with Vegas being a very close second. Both of them had so many layers to their personality and were so much more than what was initially shown to the audience that I was dumbfounded. I loved them to pieces. Porsche was also quite interesting and truly gave the impression that he was a 23 year-old man, which I appreciated. Other characters I enjoyed spending time with was Kim, Arm and Big, all of them giving me exactly what I wanted. Kinn, Korn, Gun and Porsche's uncle, as well as Tawan, were the characters I disliked greatly, some even hated with a passion. The reasons are multiple but I cannot specify without spoilers.
This brings me to the story. I'm here to tell you, there isn't that much story here. The mafia setting isn't really the focus of the series. I found it to be more or less the excuse for bringing all these characters together. I particularly don't find that a bad thing but nevertheless, it's important to know so that you are prepared before watching. What you also need to know is that the bits and pieces of story there actually is, it has some plot holes that may hinder your engagement and enjoyment. Some character decisions make no sense, the way the things progress may seem rushed or out of nowhere and some back and forth may occur. If those things will bother you depends a lot on what you enjoy in a story and what your expectations will be for KinnPorsche.
Now, I must dedicate a paragraph or two to talk about the romance. It is a BL after all, isn't that why we're here?
KinnPorsche has 3 main couples. The first one being Kinn and Porsche, as the title suggests, the second one being Vegas and Pete and the third one being Kim and Porchay. If this wasn't common knowledge, I wouldn't even mention what the couples are, because I love the element of surprise, especially with VegasPete. But I really want to give my opinion about all of them so, here it is.
Kinn and Porsche's relationship had it all. It was passionate, it was cute, it was wholesome, it was dramatic, the whole package. MileApo really gave it their all while portraying those characters and you can just feel their chemistry from the 1st episode. I have some issues with how their struggles were presented and some back and forth they had, especially with Kinn being an asshole most of the time, but I can't say I didn't enjoy what the show gave me. They were the stars of the show and rightfully so. Kim and Porchay were cute. Their celebrity/fan dynamic worked for me and the progression of their relationship made sense. They weren't my favorite but I had fun during their scenes, they gave me a feeling of fluff that I didn't know I wanted but definitely needed between all the angst and suffering that was happening.
And then, there's VegasPete. My favorite element of the series, which says a lot, considering their story started super late. I was immensely hooked and invested from beginning to end. I truly adore tragic portrayals of love and their relationship is the very definition of that. Their love story is full of pain but also mutual understanding in every sense of the word; romantically, sexually, mentally, physically. They are 2 broken people who grew up used to being abused and neglected, until they met each other in the worst of circumstances and somehow found solace in each other. Many KinnPorsche fans can't see them as a couple and while I completely understand why, I can't help but be fascinated by what the show accomplished within such a tight timeframe; making me love a couple for all the reasons that I should have hated it instead.
KinnPorsche isn't perfect. It has problems in many areas and I can see why some people had issues with it. At the same time, I don't care about any of them. It gave me a whole new experience that grabbed my attention and never let it go. It made me look beyond the entertainment I consumed in the past and gave me an experience I never thought I would have and thoroughly enjoy. If we actually do get a second season, I'll surely be there to support KinnPorsche with all my heart. Give it a chance, I'm sure you won't regret it!

100% deserved worldwide love
Last september I discovered KinnPorsche absolutely occasionally in my Twitter's feed and it was the very hot moment which surprisingly looked very natural... So I started watching immediately and was impressed A LOT by acting.Mile and Apo as Kinn and Porsche are just amazing in everything: the chemistry, the bed scenes (oh, they're amazing!), intereaction and character development. If you want to see how a strong and quite selfish appears as a reliable and acceptive boyfriend, staying the hottest man alive thanks to a bratty kitty-boy and a soft and caring brother who can kill you without any problems (except the moral ones from time to time), you're welcome to KinnPorsche.
Bible and Biu as Vegas and Pete have very interesting dynamics. They open each other's hidden needs and feelings step by step and do it very powerfully. Vegas (by Bible, I think even thanks to Bible) is one of my top three most favorite characters of KinnPorsche (with Kinn and Porsche themselves), because his way from a piece of sh*t to the absolutely wild and vulnerable character is brilliant.
Jeff and Barcode as Kim and Porchay made a cute and touching and at the same time painful line of the first love. Both of them, cold and sharp Kim, good in acting and really bad in feelings, and soft but quite hot tempered Porchay in the inoccence of his first feeling are adorable.
Flamboyant and charming Tong, very interesting Bas and others also made the idea even more interesting.
Music in KinnPorsche is absolutely great, the main two songs Free Fall and Why Don't You Stay are now one of my favorites and I listen to them very often. Both rock and soft moods are breathtaking.
The story itself is cool but in my opinion it couldn't work so good without such a brilliant cast. It's definitely worth to rewatch and I rewatched it with my mom (she is ok to BL and likes the quality films and shows, so it was her first Thai BL series and she loves it!). I think I need to rewatch it again..

Don't know how to feel.
Since watching the trailer, i was so hyped for the actual series. The series was worth watching but, it didn't blow me away. What saved the whole show was the amazing chemistry everyone of the couples had.1.Ship thoughts
2.Good/Bad things
3.rewatch rating
KINNPORSCHE:
they were cute, but as i watched more episodes a cycle started to be obvious, Kinn hurts Porsche in some way or another, Porsche then gets back at him, and misunderstandings start, get together and rinse and repeat. Not gonna say their scenes werent enjoyable, they were still enjoyable as a couple, widely contributed by the insane chemistry between the two actors.
KIMCHAY:
In my opinion, they got too little screentime, thoroughly enjoyed them too tho, and again widely contributed by the great chemistry.
Would have loved ,if there was a scene with their confession or just more with them .
VEGASPETE:
....
What am i even supposed to say, i hate their coupling ALOT. Vegas is a psycopath, he tortured, broke,stripped Pete of his humanity. It wasnt even to just torture him physically, what caused him more pain i think was the psychological trauma that he caused him.
He made Pete, adress/feel himself like an animal, he took it all from him.. and also Pete 'falling in love with Vegas' that's not love. That is borderline if not IS, stockholm syndrome.
I wont forget the scene when , Pete is in the bath while telling Porsche that he's fine as he tries to smile. Sorry if i keep repeating myslef but. He was an empty shell.
They were a very intresting ship, but i will NEVER ship them.
Good things:
The action was real and was there. The music was great 'freefall' is such a great song.
Visualy was beautiful.
The chemistry i feel for all couples was there.
Just Tankhul. I loved him. His character, was crazy,not serious. But when he needed to he also knew how to be realistic and serious.
Bad things:
I feel like Kinn/ Porsche's character development was nonexistent
Ending felt kind of weird??
Alot of thing could have been prevented , some by simply comunicating, if i was korn I'd have killed Gun years ago.
Kinn just felt kinda useless/ a bad boss.
HOW DID IT TAKE THEM SO LONG TO FIGURE OIT PETE WAS MISSING?
How likey i am to rewatch:
I probbaly, most likely won't rewatch the whole series again.

yes but .... why ?
i really enjoyed this drama, but there were a few things that left me a little frustrated. some of the romance arcs felt unnecessary—like the one between porchay and kim. they were my endgame, and it felt disappointing that it didnt work out between them. the scenes i only cried in were with porchay in it haha, guess who my favorite was atp. since they only got like five minutes of screen time, i would have preferred they didnt spark a romance if there wasnt going to be a payoff. same goes for kims map thingy, which was just dropped. it left me wondering what even was the point ......on the other hand, kinn and porsches relationship was sooo cute. the episode in the woods was SO FUN. everyone was right about this show being steamy, but it wasn’t overdone or overwhelming. the major plot twist at the end was a bit confusing though. something about them being half cousins or something .... LOL? im just going to pretend that part didnt happen heh.
i also felt that vegas and pete got way too much screen time toward the end, especially compared to kim and porchay, which seemed like a missed opportunity.
overall, this was a fantastic drama! im nitpicking because it got me so invested, and even the parts that frustrated me added to the experience and made me love it more i guessssss.
pros:
the chemistry between kinn & porsche
the freaky scenes werent weird to watch
the drama pulls you in emotionally i fear
great episodes, cliffhangers after each
left a lasting impact, even with some plot flaws
cons:
unresolved romance....
weird screen time and priorities
confusing end/plot twist
LOADS of unnecessary relationships

Words
This series had blew my mind, from beginning to end. I couldn’t stop watching. I wanted to know the how, the why and the how especially when it came to Kinn’s father. I still don’t trust him. He had so many secrets. I felt for Porsche who just wanted answers for not only himself, but for his brother. Overall, I can’t wait for the continuation to see what happens next for KinnPorsche. By the end of the series, I became a fan of MileApo & BarcodeJeff. But, the main ones who stole the show were Tong & Bible for me.Was this review helpful to you?
Epic and high in Re-watch Value
So here is my honest review:1. Production. Production value has got to be the most amazing thing that has ever happened in a BL series. As expected, they did an excellent job with the locations, set, fashion, and overall Mafia look. The shots, including camera angles and fight scenes, are straight out of Hollywood movies.
2. Story-wise. It's unusual to see series that depict the lives of the LGBTQ community in a mafia setting. Although the target audience is mostly female who likes stories of two men falling in love with each other, it's not surprising that the series turned out to be gay-friendly because both the actors who played the main roles, Mile and Apo, were vocal about their stand on equality. They even campaign for marriage equality in Thailand and are very supportive of it, as they mention in their interviews. The story is really one for the books. It didn't even come from the big companies out there, and it's a start-up project from a new production company, but it surprisingly gathered the best people, including one from the production team behind the Call Me By Your Name movie.
3. Acting. It's obviously one of the best factors that drives the show. All of the actors and even the production were really devoted to the series in the best way possible, and it's obviously shown. Although it's not that perfect, it certainly is one of the best that the Thai BL industry has ever had. Skeptics may find this statement biased, but you really can't think of a fault because it did what it was supposed to do. The actors clearly put in a lot of effort, as evidenced by the high quality of the final product.
So, what went wrong, according to the skeptics?
1. Some of them say that the third couple was unnecessary. Why would you even question this if they are following the books? It's weird for you to question the story if it is a product of the writer's imagination. It may seem mean, but I suggest you make up your own story if you don't like the idea. I don't even find it questionable to add the third couple simply because it's highly possible due to them being in one environment, the mafia world. Anything is just possible, and you can't do anything about it.
2. Unnecessary connection? Why do you even think there's an unnecessary connection going on? As far as the story goes, I can't remember a character who has an unnecessary connection to the story. Anybody who thinks otherwise can simply finish the series before saying this and drop the name of that character. I believe everyone played a lot, even the friend of Porsche who seems to have nothing to do with the plot but surprisingly plays quite a role in proving the character development of Kinn.
3. I don't know why it's a problem for some when the main leads simply develop a character change. I don't think in the real world it isn't possible, so why does this become a problem for some?
4. BL series, especially those from Thailand, are known to insert comedic plots, so I don't quite understand why other people still find it negative and distractive. If you are a fan of the Thai BL series, you will find that every now and then there are comedic scenes added. This is because Thai series in general are known for it. Even the lakorns use this type of plotting to create some lighthearted scenes in the midst of the episode's dark tone. To be honest, the only time I have seen the timing be off was when Kinn and Porsche were talking about Kinn's ex after Porsche showed Kinn the picture of Tawan. I expected their conversation to go deeper, but in the end they cut the conversation short and had Kinn throw the cramped picture of Tawan in the trash can after Porsche said so. I was expecting Kinn to actually dispose of it and get rid of it because Porsche, who is looking adorably cute, was jealous and ordered him. I was waiting for a game changer there because my emotions were high at that point, only to be turned off by a cute joke.
5. Some people are saying it should focus on the mafia aspect. I beg to disagree. This is a BL series in a mafia world; it has the right amount of mafia in there, and if you really followed the story correctly, there is plenty of that aspect in every scene. If they go beyond it and focus on the mafia aspect, the story will become a mafia story rather than a BL story. I haven't read everything in the novel, but I came across an English translation one time, which is now removed due to copyrights. The scenes are too dark, but overall, it didn't really get too deep into the mafia world. So why would you think the series should go into that aspect when it's not the main point of the series? I get it; it lacks scenes where there is plenty of killing every minute, but do you really think that's how the mafia works? They have already shown a couple of scenes where there are killings and actions and everything you can expect from a mafia world, but just because they are showing how Kinn is slowly leaving away from that part because he falls in love with Porsche, you can say in general that they should have been focusing on the mafia aspect. Why is that a problem?
6. Vegas, you say, is the saving grace. Yeah, I get it; everyone loves Vegas. It's always the toxic manipulator, the cunning character, and some fans have typical villain apologists' behavior that I always see, but, to be honest, he is not the saving grace because there is nothing to be saved here. You just love the concept of torture, killing, toxicity, and redemption. There's no need to argue that those are typical story arcs that always get a good clap from fans; honestly, that's how it gets interesting, when villains become good people after they do the most horrible things. I can see where this is going already, so I am not surprised that a group of fans would rather choose Vegas and Pete over Kinn and Porsche. I have no problem with that except that you oriented your review of the series around what happened to your favorite character. That's not fair because that's not how you make a review. You can't say the entire series is bad just because you don't like the characters. That's not how it works, honey. Just tell me you have second-lead syndrome; I'd understand. Kinn changes into a soft, caring, and loving character because of Porsche and Vegas similarly did when he met Pete. But why are you hating how the story of Kinn and Porsche goes because you are loving Vegas and Pete? It doesn't make sense to me. That is why I don't like people with one-sided views on everything. They always misunderstand things because they are not open to looking at other people's points of view because they only like what they like, then shut off the window and close the argument.
7. You like Tankhun but you hate the comedy inserted into this series because it's too much? Every scene with Tankhun is hilarious. Are you kidding me? Every scene with him is a literal comedy.
All in all, the series is not perfect, but it is definitely something to be praised for its production value, story, and actors' performances. They deserved to be recognized and hailed. I almost forgot about how great the cinematography is. So yeah, it is one of the things you will notice in this series. Spoiler alert! The bathroom scene, the helicopter, Vegas' torture room, and Kinn-Porsche's date are stunningly shot. Those scenes are really incomparable. The acting of the actors in those scenes is superb. Please watch them on official channels. You can watch them legally on iQIYI.

Haven't seen much BLs with this much professionals
Not really a review but a small rant about how I loved their acting and chemistry.The main thing that usually lacks in BLs is chemistry and eventually it hampers their overall acting. But kinn porche the series outdid everything that has ever made. This is the standard now. Nothing less will be enough from now on. This isn't about being 18+ only. Many people get it wrong that people loved it because of the adult contents. No, it's not. It's because of how they delivered the adult contents. There were several failed attempt at making 18+ contents. Most of them end up being cringe but this series had all the professionals in a nutshell. Let them be mafia they nailed it, let them be cute they nailed it, let them be romantic they nailed it, let them be sexual they nailed it again. Also how they portrayed the whole Vegas Pete thing. That is very much real and that's a real life issue. There wasn't a single negative thing that could be said about the main characters' acting and how they delivered the whole thing. Even taikhun's annoying character was on point. Kim Chay were off time to time but considering their screentime, it was doable. Even Erika who was just handling guns all over the series did great with that shooting at ep 14. Pol Arm were a perfect comedic duo. I wish we had Ken and Big till the end. Also, the guy who played Big is really really pretty. The story wasn't that much of a thing if you notice. But it is still worth watching again and again because like I said they set a STANDARD.
Also they have my favorite BL dad and Porsche has an eye blinding smile ?
