Should you watch? I'd say yes; it is excellent for Thai BL standards.
After watching KinnPorsche twice, I think this BL is a pretty good watch overall. I've seen a lot of critical reviews on here, mainly because of the lacking storyline/plot and the disappointment in the quality after the years of hype that it's gotten based on the trailer. It's understandable that people feel "let down", however, I do feel that this series is better over worse.A common critique that I saw was that the relationships were toxic. In reality, though, this is about the mafia. Mafias are very real and they aren't pretty, so you can't expect the romances to be perfect and healthy. You can see the psychological struggles of the characters, you can see how the actors portray their pain. Especially with Vegas/Pete, it really shows it.
What I liked:
- It's clear that the creators and actors have put a lot of time and effort into making this. The production and cinematography is exquisite; the lighting, angles/shots, filming locations - everything about it feels like it's done right. The music is also fitting (generally better than most Thai BL, but of course, they had to throw in some goofy BGM) and the OST's are beautifully done.
- The acting. The chemistry. It's really good, they definitely chose the right people for the main roles. For quite a few actors this series was their debut and I must say, they did an amazing job.
- The series is definitely more serious, but it's also funny and a bit cheesy. It makes it easy and fun to watch, it's engaging, it's easy to rewatch. I did enjoy the steamy scenes, although it's not for everyone, I thought they were nice.
What I didn't like:
- I think everyone can agree that the storyline was lacking and had holes in it. It felt like some episodes and scenes were just filler due to a lack of ideas. My guess is that it's because the series was adapted from a novel that wasn't the most complex or interesting. The plot twist was a good one, but I feel like more could've been done with it. I've heard rumors of a season two due to the lowkey open-ending, but I'm just not sure if they'd have enough material to work with. To be completely fair though, I've only read part of the web-novel, not the entire thing.
- The series wasn't that deep. As stated above, more could've been done. It could've been more meaningful and realistic, but I'm not going to say that it was bad because it was very good and entertaining.
So yes, you should give it a shot!

One of my favorite
I absolutely loved this series. When I heard it was coming out I was so excited!! Yes it may have taken such a long time to come out but it was definitely worth it. The storyline the acting the chemistry between all of actors are amazing. I enjoyed each and every episode. A lot of the actors in this show are rookie actors which is hard to believe. I want to praise “Bible” in particular. This is the first series he has ever acted in and he did such an amazing job. I’m so sad this is already ended. Fasted 14 weeks of my life. Not to be dramatic but this show really got me through tough times, times when I didn’t feel like pushing through life I thought “Kinnporsche comes out on Saturday just a few more days”. Now what am I gonna do. Wait till season 2!!! I do believe there was MANY!!!! unanswered questions but there’s always room for season 2. Kimchay happy ending im hoping. There were some rough parts of the show but over all I loved it.Was this review helpful to you?
tales of mafia love
This series is something that filled my heart with love and hope. Whole kinnporsche cast and crew did a great job in all aspects. KP series just occupied my boring Saturdays and also increased my patience in waiting. When you start watching this series, each episode will have something interesting and also each episode has sudden surprise or a cliffhanger which increases curiosity to wait for next episode. Main couples (KP,VP,KC) were charming and Irresistible. Plot is so interesting not like some teenage love. This series gives it's best in showing how mature people love each other. Each character has it's own way to represent love. When you love someone, you trust them no matter what like kinnporsche trust each other. When you got love from someone during your tough times you should spread that happiness to others who are in need no matter how cruel they are, like pete loved vegas. Even all are comparing you with others and you are not being loved by others or even others fail to recognize your worth, you still have to love all and give respect to them no matter how cruel they are, like vegas gave to his father and main family even though he lost everything by his side! pete was his gift from god for his struggles. Thanakun is the symbol for colorful life, Kim is for unmasking truth, Arm is for secret weapon inventor, Korn is for his mastermind!!Action scenes are so realistic. Comedy scenes are hilarious, each actor never failed to make us laugh. Some scenes are hot and worth for waiting. OST of this series got me goosebumps! Especially "Why don't you stay" ost has each line designed for true love! My favorite lines from this series are:
"It's alright, keep practicing, one day you'll be good at it." - kinn
"Time is about life and death, four minutes lack of O2 will kill your brain cells, just a split second that you're slowing down is the chance of having yourself killed, hence Time is imperative for a bodyguard" - Arm
"There's no heroes nor villains in this world" -pete
"I ask myself all the time, how much do I want my dream to happen? Is it worth it if I lose something along the way? But if we love something so much with all our hearts, don't you think it's worth it?" -kim
"porsche: Why do we have to be cuffed together like this?
kinn: I am sorry! But this makes us know each other so much better! "
"When you are in love, we must often add sweetness to each other, spend time together" -yok

Riot
Now this is a simple story about a man who can't button his shirt so he hires a man who also doesn't know how to button his shirt to be his body guard and thus, a love story begins! LmaoFor real tho that's kinda how it goes ANYWAY this series was top notch lust and I'm screaming for it. No lie, several scenes I watched repeatedly (no shame). If you're looking for something cute and fluffy TURN BACK! If you're looking for amazing visuals, bloody gun fights and family rivalry LOOK NO FURTHER!
I got a LOT lost toward the end and almost launched my computer across the room but we survived the roller coaster of every dirty and emotional moment this series has to offer and more. Would recommend (even if you're new to BL). I tried to wait until it was completed to binge watch but I couldn't and I regret it cause the cliffhangers almost made me lose my head! (you'll understand the pun later in the series)This is one of the few series I can't decide who my fav couple is lol
Enjoy....

If you didn't watch this series, then you've wasted the half of your life
I don't know about y'all but for me it's soooo hella good i loved everything even the soundtracks are amazing.My fav couple of all times are Vegas and Pete, omg they're so AMAZING together.
If we gonna talk about KinnPorsche, they have such an amazing chemistry you literally can feel it, beside their love scenes hahahahaha even though they're the main couple and all the focus is on them but i kinda prefer VegasPete, it's my opinion anyway.
Not forgotten also about Kim and Chay i loved them so much but the ending kinda got me confused idk, but literally the best thing about this is Jeff's OST omg guys it took me to another world with his ANGELIC voice.
Anyways, this series is the DEFINITION OF PERFECTION

Go watch this!
Starting by saying I am a straight person that appreciates art and love in every shape or form. I started KP because of a beautifully fan made video on tik tok.I have little to no knowledge of the BL universe but still blows by mind that this has just a few viewers on dramalist. I mean, it was an insane, fantastic, absolutely emotional ride of a show.
I started watching when the first 4 episodes were out and let me tell you it draw me in so much that for the next couple of weeks I planned my Saturdays on their episode releases.
Acting, cast, story, visuals, music were top level!!! Oh my god did this show delivered. I was an emotional wreck by the end of it.
Emotions poured through my TV screen, still cannot believe so many of the actors are newbies. The chemistry between all of them and I’m not referring here to romantic feelings but more like the actors worked so well together and balanced themselves so well in the scenes that I am forever a fan.
I get that this is not a light story with quite a few taboo topics but they are part of our day to day life in a way so seeing it portrayed so raw and soulful to give it justice makes me love this series even more.
It’s a first for me on a bunch of levels and it’s one of those shows that you will forever remember one way or the other.
Art is art and love is love!
Go watch it! 10/10

This show is iconic, but don’t expect lovely and healthy relationships
This show will definitely be remembered as one of the most iconic BL’s ever. It’s so perfectly done that even if you don’t really enjoy the plot, I think that it’s still worth watching.I don’t have any issues with the acting or the cinematography, but some parts in the plot were kind of messy and kept me from giving it a perfect rating.
The beginning was really good and the relationship between Kinn and Porsche was developed really well. The action parts weren’t too much or too little and that made watching the hour long episodes enjoyable.
The worst part for me were the last few episodes, especially the last one. They started to get too complicated for me, too many plot twists that just over saturated the story and defeated their own purpose of being shocking and unexpected. I still don’t know the real truth behind what happened in the last episode because of how confusing it was. However they ended the show in a way that might suggest another season, and I really hope that happens because there are still a lot of storylines to explore, especially the sides couples’ ones.
Another thing that kind of annoyed me was how toxic all the relationships in the show were. Maybe the healthiest one was Kinn and Porsche’s and that really says it all. I just would have loved to see more development in the emotional side, yes they love each other, but they keep doing the same mistakes over and over again and at the end they just fix everything with sex. Nonetheless I still loved the more intimate scenes, they were very explicit but that is something we never see in the BL industry so I was really happy to see that. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the couples in here, but I just wish they were a little less toxic so that I wouldn’t feel bad for rooting for them.
Overall I think that this BL is really a gem, and it’s so good and well made that is able to stand the comparison to the most popular action and romance series out there.

The relationship between KinnPorsche so far is vonluntary. They treasured each other, the sacrified for each other, they gradually discovered their feelings thru many hardship and it is a shame that some vegaspete stans distorted the truth, while vegaspete relationship started from torture, violence, stockhomes. Some even tried to say vegas is a greater leader, NO, A LEADER NEVER USE THEIR PEOPLE AS LIFE VESTS, and from the beginning, vegas used lots of his bofyguards for life vest, while Kinn were trying to SAVE AND PROTECT his people, KINN SAVED PETE FROM BEING SHOT IN THE LAST EPISODE, TOUCH SOME GRASS PLEASE SOME VEGASPETE STANS.
stupid vegaspete stans tried to kick war since the beginning, but KP stans didnt wanna. Now, the series end, and some fukers still never stop doing stupid things. IF YOU KEEP DISTORTING THE TRUTH, BE AWARED THAT WHICH REPATIONSHIP IS MORE TOXIC FROM THE BEGINNING. vegas is good at deceiving, but Kinn is a leader and that is why his people are willing to die for him, like Chan, Big, Erika, even Porsche

please use earphones while watching
Kinnporsche! wholly new concept in the BL world.The drama is all about crimes, guns,bloods, hot actors and sex. The story of a Mafia falling in love with a bartender is quite a fresh concept. Talking about the story, it was quite impressive that turns out to be lil bit suspensefull that nobody hopefully expected. There are 3 love stories of Kinnporsche, Vegaspete, Kimchay. and a story we were curious about; TimeTay. I will give brief intro of these couples :
kinnporsche: The light of the show. they are the two rough guys initially who turns out to be cuter after falling in love with each other. they were cute and funny together. They develop love for each other in between various ups and downs. and they form the strongest support and bond for each other
Vegaspete: The most toxic couple you will see in this show. Vegas who loves to torture people grows feeling for Pete. the development of this characters is intense and the bonding is beyond the level. pete a cute puppy faced person understood vegas more than anyone else. They share their scares and comfort each other. the couple were the sexiest and crime lover.
KimChay: the couple who was adorable. but... we wouldn't see much of them. hopefully will see in next season.
TayTime: they were the couple from starting. but the writer keep on hinting some other way unfortunetly there is no straight story about them
Although, the main couple was KinnPorsche but VegasPete and Kimchay grows over me. I like the way writer potrait the character very intensely. All the actors were of top notch despite of some new inexperienced faces. but the acting was so spectacular.
The special shout out to Tankhun. He was the heart of the show and steal our heart with his charm. I wish to see him in many more drama.
The music was lovely and catchy. I'm in love with the music. the voice of Pjeff is so good that i keep falling in love with it. i really recommend you to check out the music of this show.
There is some point i would like to bring in light because that was not not so good for me. the writer tried really hard to make funny moments between Kinnporsche but that was the big fail for me. somehow it fell in the dumb category for me. Pete and Tankhun were enough to make us laugh.
The sex scene was something for me. it was so intense and hot that i nearly forget to breath lol. sexual tension between vegaspete and kinnporsche was next level. it's like sweet porn to me lol
The ending of this so was mess for me. there are so many things yet to reveal. they are still blurred and i hope they clear it out in 2season. yes they annouce the 2nd season. The ending has a bif cliffhanger.
It's off air so you all can bringe watch it
Bringe watch value: 100%
umm.. it is really hard to make me rewatch the drama.. ahmm this drama doesnot pass the rewatch test for me.. i will not rewatch it rather i will wait for the 2nd season^_^
Here I stop writing!
I hope this review brought you some information
happy watching!! ^__^

THE MOST ICONIC BL TO BE AIRED!!
I started to watch kinnporsche the same hour ep 1 came out, that's how interested i was. Cause to find a Bl that is has an actually interesting plot is really hard this days, cause all you see in bls this days are engineering students that are cute and adorable but KinnPorsche the series is the first EVER bl that i feel there isn't something missing.If i were to be asked what I didn't like in the show. It would be the way Vegas treated Pete. I did frighten me a bit but i felt better in the end.
The acting was ON POINT, especially Bible and Apo's acting absolutely perfect for their roles.
I highly recommend you watch Kinnporsche its totally worth watching

The plot feels a little all over the place(or non existent) but to me it's understandable because I feel it was in fact written with a 2nd season in mind. I do think season 1 centered around the main characters falling in love with some extra information given that would be used to extract the actual plot for season 2( if we do get one). The directors actually took time to find ACTORS for the show. I didn't once feel like someone was not doing a good job at portraying their characters(INCLUDES EVERYONE) but I'd like to give a special shoutout to Apo and Bible. Their performance speaks for itself! I'd like to compliment Apo for the way he acts with he's eyes (only ever felt so compelled to compliment the way people act with their eyes was for Nanon and Mixx from gmm) [ if you've got chance to rewatch the show, try to focus on Apo's eye acting, it's actually insane when you watch and zoom in. I do wish the people behind the camera's focused on he's eye acting when he portrayed emotions( basically the way it was done in bad buddy for Nanon)]. Mile and Build were outstanding as well!
Probbaly the best OST's from thai BL, thank you to Jeff and The slotmachines.
There is most certainly rewatch value, more so because of the comedic scenes for me. I know many dislike the comedy factor, but it's what made the show more enjoyable. Tong, Build, Apo, Bas and Job eally carried the reasons for my laughter while watching this show.
I won't comment much on either of the relationships because I'm well aware what type of show I'm watching. I did feel uncomfortable with certain scenes of both couples [ep4 ending for the noncon( thank you for apologizing at least kinn) and VP abuse. The pet scene especially irked me] but not to the point of where I'd feel I want to petition to cancel it. It was just something personal.
IMPORTANT: GAY people have sex and I'm a little tired of having this conversation with people, especially the cis woman using it as a way to invalidate the show because it's apparently porn to them. And all the NC scenes done in this show was done beautifully, especially ep7 and ep13( 2 NC scenes that portrays different emotions of the characters at that time of their relationship). Let uz queer people in media have sex without minimizing it to porn just because that's all you see as a viewer

You never know what to expect
I remember seeing the first Episode of KinnPorsche, and at the time I didn't think I was going to get so hooked up on it. As I kept watching the new episodes each Saturday I found myself so captivated by all the elements used in making KinnPorsche, from the actors, the music, the little details, everything fit in with each other so well. I always wanted more after I finished an episode and would rewatch the teasers for the next episode over and over again. The story was written very well, no one was able to predict what would happen. The actors did an amazing job in bringing these characters to life, they've been working so hard to portray their characters and their hard work has truly paid off. The OSTs are perfect, every single one of them was written with so much though. I absolutely love how the Thai and English version of Free Fall reflect the perspectives of Kinn and Porsche respectively. It's just brilliant.I don't know if this will be the end for KinnPorsche, regardless of whether there's a special to be released or a Season 2, I'm very satisfied and content with how it ended. I would not change anything about it.
If you plan on watching it please read the episode warnings beforehand, because this series is definitely not for everyone. For those of you who do plan on watching it, I hope you enjoy.
