KinnPorsche (2022)

Not perfect but sooo WORTH IT!

I don't know if everyone knows, but getting this series released was a miracle in itself.
Yeah it has some cringe and also some bad product placement scenes but those don't take away much. All the minor deficiencies are made up by the rest of the show, be it the superb chemistry of the main couple or the excellent cinematography.
I keep seeing people's comments that it's overrated but let me tell you it's not, within good reason. The show is amazing technical wise, the frames don't look soap operaish instead are of great quality, the best in Thai BL I've seen so far. The music is absolutely amazing. The supporting cast pulls their weight and more. Even the clothes, make-up and styling is gorgeous. This is evident especially if you watch the first version (cancelled) of the series.

And of course the highlight is kinn and porshe, it's fireworks whenever they are together. There are some problematic aspects due to an equally or more problematic source material (novel). But the writers of the series have mellowed it down a lot.
It's a different experience for those who are sick and tired of High school or college BLs.
Ps. Not safe for work

Could've been epic but writers casually decided to made mess in some parts

I would be honest, I only watched this series for Vegas and Pete, and especially for Vegas in particular, but I was left disappointed with their screen time and writing.

Since I mentioned them, let's start with Vegas and Pete. I already said I watched this series just for them, and they both catch my attention the most. Honestly, I always get hooked to psychologically complex characters like Vegas and Pete, which is definitely the reason why they caught my attention the most. The portrayal of highly complex characters like them required way more screen time than the director gave them in the series. In almost 14 hours of series, they only get like 14 minutes, which left their story badly portrayed. Okay, so personally, I'm not against their relationship, and I won't say that writing controversial and psychology messed up relationship is particularly bad, but it takes extra efforts and care to rightly portray them. But whatever happens in the series is way more acceptable and better than the novel. In the novel, Pete was raped by Vegas, not just one time but over and over again, and in the novel, there was no internal conflict as in the series. As in the series, both were struggling with daddy issues, but in the novel, it wasn't like that, and I refused to believe that somebody can fall for their rapist. I get that it's the Stockholm effect or a machonist n sadist relationship, but still it's hard for me to except novel version of vegas.

So I'm quite glad they didn't follow the novel, and they made a lot of changes, but they definitely deserved and needed more screen time, like at least 3-4 episodes, or even more, to show their relationship dynamic better, and lastly, this could be a subjective opinion of mine, but if Vegas had died when he was shot, it would have been so much better, not because I hate him or something, but I think that tragedy death would have been so much better.

The sex scene of Vegas and Pete doesn't have a verbal consent, but since Pete kissed him first, we all have assumed that Pete gave his consent. Like really??? Should it be considered as consent??? But I can tolerate their sex scene more than Kinn and Porche scene. Kinn and Porche had sex twice, while Porche was unconscious, and yes, you can say that "Porche started liking him", but he was drugged, he was freaking unconscious, his consent at that period wouldn't be considered as consent. And we have to admit their relationship was as messed up not as much as Vegas and Pete but their relationship was everything but healthy. I've to admit, Kinn and Porche gave us some sweet romance scenes compared to Vegas and Pete cause these two bitches were only having scenes which could mentally mess you up.

Porche as a character is quite admirable in my eyes, a loving and hardworking brother and I would be lying if I don't say that I'm a little biased when it comes to Porche cause I was able to connect to him with older sibling who is a parent to younger sibling part. But Porche as a lover is quite stupid.
Talking about Kinn, he started off as a really strong character in start but I ended up not loving that character very much, they both turned out blind in love. And their relationship didn't have depth and internal conflict. For example, we get to see why Vegas and Pete fell for each other but Can we name a single thing why Porche and Kinn fell for each other despite their sex appeal to each other. Probably no and all I'm trying to say is it would've been better if they would've shown us their POV and internal feeling when they were falling for each other for more depth but this is completely my subjective opinion because I would not lie, I was personally looking forward to Vegas and Pete more than Kinn and Porche so this could be possible that I was not able to see their relationship depth. I haven't read their story in novel so I can't compare series with book but I must say that Kinn was quite toxic in series and he was even more toxic in novel. [ only read a small portion about Kinn in novel of Pete and Vegas story ] so that's all for them.

Now let's talk about the 3rd couple, Kim and Chay. You can hate me for saying this but in my opinion their relationship was unnecessary like both of their roles could be utilized better and yes I get it they look cute together and stuff but their relationship was nothing but an eye candy to watchers. But I must say they were the only sane couples in series and I actually was chill about it until I found out their real age gap was 10 years. Honestly 10 years of age gap is not the matter of scandal just because my subjective morals do not approve that but what I found scandals is that Chay was a minor at that time which I personally could not tolerate but I'm glad they got decent scenes and even off screen Jeff was pretty decent as well what I am able to see so far.
Chay's internal conflict is easy to break down, a young teenager fell in love with his fav singer and it made sense but I'm still not able to find out what's Kim's reason to love him back, like what was his internal depth? So still there is a lack of internal conflict writing like Kinn and Porche.
And talking about Kim as a character, I quite like him, he was just a one step away from becoming my fav character. He had flaws which made sense. His character arc was fine even there are still somethings which I didn't like about him but I can outright those with his decency.

Takkhun, he was quite an iconic character even a lot of people find him quite annoying which is understandable cause a Takkhun in real life would be an annoying a-hole but I quite like him in the series, he added the extra spice into it.

Talking about this series overall, It was good but it could've been so much better, it could've been one those bl series which could easily go in history because Mafia bl theme is quite rare I guess. It's always high school or university or sometimes office romance. But bl with mafia theme would be so fucking epic but the mafia theme got lost somewhere in bl. They were not able to consistently maintain mafia and bl together. And the plot of the series?? I dislike it. Don't ask me why I just personally didn't like where the series was going, it almost looked like some forced weird and alienated plot that made you go like wtf?? One side of me was so curious that how Porche's mom ended up like that and why but we ain't getting a second season so I think it would remain just a curiosity.

Other things about the series such as cinematography, I love it. I love the angles, shots, and visuals.
Acting, the cast did a great job, and some actors just nailed it, such as Bible as Vegas. Probably the best decision the makers made about the series, and considering it was his first project, he did such a good job. I personally feel like nobody could've played Vegas better than Bible. The sadistic nature, the anger, emotions, fear, guilt—everything was amazingly portrayed by him. Build as Pete, at first his acting didn't catch my attention very much, but the scenes which he did with Bible???? The smirk, the sorrow, the empathy, the emotions he conveyed, oh God, they were just fine. Takkhun, I don't know why, but I always felt that his character is hard to perform. Like all those dramatic dialogues, reactions, I just found them very overwhelming to perform, so he definitely did a great job. Porche, his acting was just perfect. Chaoticness, anger, love, sadness—he did a great job. Kinn, I might not like the character very much, but I love the actor and his acting. Kim, I personally feel like Jeff is quite opposite to his character in real life, so he definitely did an amazing job with his character. Chay, he was just 17 at that time, and it was his first time acting too, so considering all those facts, he did a great job with his role. And the rest of the actors did a good job too, making the story more enjoyable.

Two words to describe the whole series: Very Cool

For those who are wondering, this series is a *happy ending* for 2 out of 3 couples.
TAGS: Violence, BDSM

One thing that I really love about this series is the fight scenes. The camera tricks and the martial arts of the actors are very notable and clean. Though the explosions are a bit childish for the lack of a better word.

The love scenes are almost soft porn as most love scenes shows they are somehow naked which gives the feeling of lust and love at the same time. There is a ton of sexual tension in the lovescenes, but still makes it to a point that the love story does not hinder the flow of the story much.

Now the flow of the story is very smooth...up until the last episode which really confused me alot. There they presented new plot points that made the story confusing. Even right now, I still dont understand who isnt lying: Korn or Vegas's father.

I guess there are a lot of points in the story left unanswered to make sure to pave the way for season 2.

Overall, I just want to say that I did not regret watching this series. I am a bit adamant to watch it because I dont watch shows where they physically hurt their partners, but this show is bearable in that area. Add to that that the plot is very immersive and makes you want to watch more.

This show deserves all the hype and the edits (except vegas and petes relationship)

This series was definitely something. i took off 1 star at first for the fact that literally, everything fell apart in the last two episodes. and i also took a half a star off because of the fact that vegas n pete and kim and porschay didnt have the redemption arc that i craved for. but the little clip of vegas n pete earned this show back half a star. so my final verdict is a 9/10. Kinn and Porsches helicopter scene (pre bj) felt so authentic, real, and actually made my heart melt. their love story is what i live for. the edits do not do this show justice. have to watch for the full experience


I listen to the intro song like 16 times a day

sorry for grammar errors. english is my first language i just suck at it

Best of the best!

Honestly, KinnPorsche set a new thai BL standard for me. After watching this series it's hard to go back to lower quality productions because of how good it is. The cinematography is simply beautiful, elegant, bold and everything is made with good taste. The acting is superb - shoutout to Apo, Mile, Bible, Tong, Build, Nodt, Sprite and Gun who made me forget they were acting. Everything feels fairly authentic and well balanced as the story develops. The only aspect I didn't like to much was all the ending regarding Porsche's family story - didn't feel so solid. Other than that, I can't stress enough how amazing KinnPorsche turned out. I am almost done watching it for the second time, totally worth it!

Extremely unhealthy relationships that you can't stop watching

Personally, I'm a sucker for a good bodyguard drama AND a good mafia drama. Put those together and I'm gonna like it. However, in good conscience, I can't give this series 10/10. As much as I loved this series, the consent was questionable at best (arguably non-existent for most of the scenes) and the characters...still end up together after that. I feel like they fail to flesh out the consequences of these scenes (and honestly, why did they include them in the first place?) The mafia plotline was pretty loose if we're being honest, but most of that could be explained away by Kinn not being the head of the main family yet.

The one thing that made this drama as good as it was is the chemistry of the couples. There's the perfect amount of conflict and plenty of tension between them and it makes for an interesting watch. I dislike shows where they seem to get together too easily, or where the conflict is so drawn out to a point where they're barely even together. The balance in this show is perfect. I still have complaints about the 3rd couple, but the main two are the important ones anyway imo.

The action scenes keep your attention the whole time, and the twists in the plot keep you on your toes. It's got the perfect touch of comedy added to the otherwise fairly serious plotline. The actors do a fantastic job portraying these characters. Unfortunately, the storyline brushes over huge issues of assault, manipulation, and torture, and treat these as normal aspects of the relationships instead of addressing them.

What a treat!!!

I was very unsure about this before I started watching but OH MY did I fall in love haha

Was it perfect? No, certainly not. Was it an absolute blast anyway? Yes!

The plot certainly had it's flaws here and there, especially towards the end when it felt like they just try to push too much into too little time. But overall the drama had surprisingly good cinematography, very lovable, interesting & mostly nuanced characters, a great OST and just SO.MUCH.CHEMISTRY between the main couple!!

I binged it in 2 days and enjoyed every sinlge minute. Even rewatched some scenes just because I enjoyed it that much.

And I have to admit... I can't get over how PERFECT A HUMAN BEING Apo is!! How can someone be so gorgeous??? I absolulety drank up every scene he was in. And he gave so much playfulness & heart to his character - I absolutely loved it. And you could tell how good a relationship him and Mile have as their characters had just such intense chemistry! It's really been a while since I have seen such chemistry in a BL drama series!

Second favorite character? Tankhun!! haha I loved him so much as he was not just exquisitely eccentric but also rather clever and nuanced if you looked close enough.

You want an interesting setting and decent action scenes? This is the show to watch.
You want incredibly hot actors with awesome chemistry? This is the show to watch.
You want quirky characters that make you laugh? This is the show to watch.
You want steamy scenes between beautiful men? This is the show to watch.
You want to see one of the best BL series out there to date? THIS IS THE SHOW TO WATCH.

KinnPorsche: Overall Thoughts

I think that it was a very good show, though difficult to watch at times. There are some themes present that might trigger other individuals, so viewer discretion is advised. Although those themes may be present, the overarching themes of love presented in the show are beautiful to witness. All of the stories everyone go through whilst also going through things together is really touching and a great element of the story. You develop a connection with all of the characters (whether they are good or bad), and you start to feel the emotions with the characters at times. The actors do a really good job at conveying emotions and making you feel as if you are apart of the story as well. If you've been wanting to watch this show, this is your sign to do it.

I’m speechless-

I started binge watching this drama a while ago when i was unwell and ended up watching probably over half of the series. Despite liking it, I kinda forgot about it as other series caught my interest. After many months, I finally decided to sit down and finish- and let me tell you… Once I started watching the episodes I just couldn’t stop! I thought the drama would die down, but no it was just the beginning!
Personally my favorite scenes will always be that one where Kinn and Porche are stuck together in the forest, but I must say that the second half of the series also had some amazing scenes.
Where do I even start….?
1. The quality?! The budget for this show?! I have no idea how much this would’ve costed but this was and probably is to this day one of the best bls in terms of cinematography. All of the fight scenes were just top notch!
2. Alright let’s talk about the secondary couple, Porchay and Kim. Honestly I did quite like them, but when I originally started watching this series it didn’t compare to Kinn and Porche, not even close. But I did start to like them more later on- I just wasn’t really satisfied with the ending they got.
3. Let’s talk plot. Cousins?! They’re cousins?! Come on now- that’s not the plot twist we were looking for lmao! Idk the plot was definitely something. It was a bit all over the place and kinda unpredictable but not at the same time. Either way, I still really liked it so the confusion and oddities made it better in a way.
4. Kinn and Porche… I must say, the chemistry between them was so good throughout the first half of the series, but for me it kinda fell off after they got together. Idk why but I really liked the love-hate relationship they had. It was actually interesting! Once they got together I didn’t find it as exciting- almost boring in a sense. There were even a couple sex scenes I skipped in the last few episodes because I just wanted to know what happened to the other characters…
SPECIFICALLY-
5. Vegas and Pete! So when I stoped watching this series I didn’t understand the hype with these guys, since I hadn’t gotten to the whole ‘pet’ part. But let me tell you- these guys are who made me finish this entire series! They carried the last few episodes with so much suspense that I couldn’t even give a care about whatever the heck Kinn and Porche were doing in that rooftop pool lol! I KNOW- it’s so bad… it’s so bad… Vegas is literally unforgivable… BUT- damn I just wanted things to work out for them so bad. I was so scared that Vegas would keep hurting Pete- like he was so unpredictable in a sense that I knew when he was gonna lash out at Pete but in my head I was begging him to give up and let himself be vulnerable with Pete. I could go on and on about how much I was invested in them! I literally skipped most of the ending of the series just to figure out what happened to Vegas. I got so scared when the ending credits started playing and I was like ‘WHAT ABOUT PETE AND VEGAS?!’- luckily the ending was saved but I desperately wanted more ahhhhh

Anyways, this series is 100% worth the watch! (Also just a side note but Jeff’s songs for this OST are amazing!)
