i love the series and is my fav bl ever but the ending is something else.
I love the romance between Kinn and Porche that in its own is what i love but i dont mind the side roles either. Anyways if the Stockholm syndrome romance(love for abuser) isnt the best and is pretty wrong its okay. but the ending was super weird and qouestionale. but i still stand by the bl. and is the only bl i have rewatched and will rewatch again.Was this review helpful to you?

Mafia series
I was expecting more given it's hype but yeah it's good I suppose. VegasPete is really problematic and seeing people normalize it just because Pete acceptes how Vegas acts is weird, it's not because Pete "is ok" with it that it isn't toxic and terrible but yeah you can't really expect a healthy relationship in the mafia so...Was this review helpful to you?
The best series BL

MAFIATIC JOURNEY !
IN CREDIBLE ! that is all I gotta say for this work, such a performance I want to congratulate everyone who created this TV show ! What a Mafiactic Journey I had with this drama ! It was bloody, sexy, funny and romantic and Thrilling at the same time, god ! I cannot find anything I did not like with this drama I just like everything and every thing here is fantastic.This drama is something else and all I ever felt after watching this was like I want more , I am not ready to say goodbye and now I do not know what to do with my life anymore
The story was always surprising, it was not easy to predict, it was like leading you step by step but not gonna tell you where to go, I felt Like the head of tge Minor Family Khun Gun have something else more truth to say just before he was shot by Khun Korn, I am somehow confused who of the two heads really killed Porsche's Father.
Everyone is gay here HAHAHA it is BL after all , it was so spicy, it is something that Thailand can boast about, I have so many thoughts about this, I am thinking if there will be an addaptation from other country, will they be able to do what Kinn Porche did , Like it was so so Spicy and Romantic.
While everyone is mature and raging and sexy here, we have Kim and Porchay with the teen age first love to help us lighten the vibe.
The Action was really action! Ugh no words to say two thumbs up ?? Probably one of my favorite parts was when Porsche have found out the one who killed his Father, I mean the scape goat who has a grand daughter, he was about and wants to kill that man but he chose not to because everything will keep on going round and round just as what happened to him, he chose to let the situation end with him, such a good heart Khun Porsche ! And the probably the story of Vegas and Pete, it was toxic but it was beautiful ! Damn ! I really thought Vegas ended up dead ! I literally shouted out knowing he was still alive at the end !
And yeah what more to say, this may be the reason why this drama was so noisy 2 years ago when it was airing , it was this awesome , it was Phenomenal, it was a wave ! Mile and Apo such a great actors and super professional ! Like did they just did that love scene as if it was nothing like , it was too daring and its like they are too used of doing it, it was so natural, it looks so real damn ! But not just them ! Everyone there , Vegas I am crazy over him, you hear him speakinh English ? I am melted every time.
Production, Cinematography, Visuals, sound effects 10 out of 10 .. Be on Cloud Kuddos to you ! ??? lets meet again Kinn and Porsche ! Nothing more left to say fantastic , one of the best !

(vague spoilers) loved this show!
I went into this show knowing nothing, having never seen a BL or a Thai show at all, and only knowing that the main couple was cute thanks to a gifset on my tumblr dash. I had no expectations, but the show exceeded them anyway. The acting was astounding for this being so many's first role, and the cinematography was beautiful. I had to pause all the time just to take in the scenery presented to us. Every single episode gave me something to be shocked about, or something entertaining to laugh at, or something to coo over. At times it was very soap opera-y but each twist and turn had me hooked to my screen.I'll reiterate what I saw other reviewers say which is that this show is meant for mature audiences who can understand that these relationships are toxic. They're extremely fun to watch and the actors do an amazing job of guiding the audience through their character's emotions and growth, and showing the love each ship has for each other. But they're toxic. Don't go into this expecting that they're perfect and do no wrong -- they wrong each other all the time. But imo the morally gray quality adds really interesting layers to everything and I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much if they were squeaky clean.
I have to mention Bible especially for how talented he is portraying Vegas as an evil monster, an abused son, and someone desperate for recognition and love no matter where it comes from. He nailed every scene he was in and I enjoyed how it felt like Vegas could completely change in a matter of seconds. So versatile and captivating. Also while I was watching, whenever something was great, I found myself jokingly thinking 'thank you Mile'. So yeah, I would also like to say, thank you Mile. This was an amazing show and I can't wait for a season two.

A BL for those who enjoy morally grey characters
KinnPorsche is not for everyone. If you have a preference for sweet, lovey-dovey romances that end up tied in a pretty bow, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.If you are looking something different and your mind is open for imperfect and flawed characters, then you might want to check this out. No matter which review you read, you can't really judge the show if you don't at least watch the first episode and form your own opinions.
This is a character-driven show and the plot only gets started at the later part. The acting is phenomenal!!! Bonus points for having a visually appealing cast. The music is perfect - addictive rock music and hauntingly beautiful love song. I have rewatched the episodes many times already.
If you end up watching the show, please do so at iQiyi. Don't watch it through illegal sites. iQiyi has the first three episodes of the TV version available FOR FREE. If you end up liking the first 3 episodes and want to watch more, then please do so by getting the VIP subscription. The cast and crew didn't work hard on this show only to be short-changed by illegal sites. Please respect their dedication and hard work by watching only through iQiyi. Thanks.

The world of Mafia men and their trauma.
Firstly I'd like to say everyone did great acting wise, no hate towards the actors whatsoever... that being said...I despised VegasPete's storyline. Despised Vegas in general and yeah it's a Mafia story blah blah excuses, even Mafia men have their limits in the morals they break. It's expected for a villian to exist but not all villains deserve redemption. People say you're the product of your surroundings but explain Macau? Pete? They weren't saints (tho we really barely saw Macau ) but they weren't completely and outright repulsive with their behavior like Vegas and his trauma is no excuse. So really the last couple episodes are kind of unwatchable for me unless I skip the VegasPete stuff. It feels too Stockholm Syndromey for me so it keeps it from being a full 10 Star BL for me. The finale helped in a therapeutic way to help stomach the relationship but also still left me with a deep seeded bit of hate for him. I look forward to him growing up as a character and changing my mind about him and his relationship with Pete but for now it's just a trauma bonding, Stockholm Syndromey codependent mess with no love involved for me.
KinnPorsche were my favorite from the main three, they started off rocky but they worked through it with genuine remorse and apologies from Kinn. ( Stuff I had a hard time believing from Vegas.) After that, the trust issues and miscommunication, they were both at fault for. I didn't like how much Porsche teamed up with Vegas without the knowledge of what he did to him (which never gets addressed besides the second time he tried to do something) and also with the knowledge of what he had done to Pete. Putting way too much trust in the devil. Kinn not telling Porsche things he needed to know also didn't help either and I get he was scarred by his ex (who I loved and everyone else seemed to hate lmao) but taking his past relationship issues and making it Porsche's problem to deal with wasn't fair to Porsche. The finale tho, I loved what their end was and can't wait to see how it develops for next season.
KimChay , I don't have much to say besides they were cute and angsty, I don't hate Kim like others might and understand him not wanting to commit another mistake with Chay by further bringing him into his dangerous world. I was annoyed by Chay and how he was willing to throw his life away for someone he barely knew but what's done is done. At least he has a protective shadow watching over him... Jeff and Barcode did well with what they were given though; The whole age gap discussions were really getting on my last nerve with how people were making Jeff look when he was nothing but respectful the whole time and they were simply acting.
Now on to TimeTay, they barely got any screentime and I'm so bummed about it. Everytime JJUs were on screen they had my attention. I admit I enjoy a well written cheating plotline whereas others might be triggered by it but we didn't get to experience it this season even tho they were promoted just as much as the main three at one point in time.
Tankhun, Arm, Pol, Pete and Porsche as a group I loved so much and were a highlight of the series. The dads... untrustworthy the both of them is all I'll say. The plot twists wrecked my brain just cause I didn't see them coming from what I was spoiled for by novel readers. The action scenes were my favorite scenes honestly, wish there was more of it going on in terms of the Mafia part of it. So there's my rant and all and all, I still cant wait for a second season. There's lots of room for a season 2 so I really do hope it falls through and covid doesn't delay it so much.
The Sountrack was A+++ the theme song is so catchy in both Thai and English also love that each one is of either Kinn's or Porsche's pov and you can't go wrong with Jeff Satur singing one of the Osts. I also liked Barcode's song as well.
The cinematography for the whole series was beautifully done and it's very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.
Again congrats to the whole cast and crew for the tough journey they had to get us this BL, they deserve all the praise.

It’s Masterpiece, must watch fir every BL fan
This is the first BL of my life and it’s totally worth it. Acting done by main lead is exceptional. Not only main lead but all supporting actors, guest role, small roles all the actor did amazing job. Their chemistry i highlight of the series, their fight scene, comedy scene all are best. Production, cinematography, direction, Music, background score in all aspects the series is 10/10. After watching this series can’t seems to like any other series. It’s not typical high school or engineering college drama where actors do some cringe acting, it has very matured theme and acting is top notch. Already watched 4 times and read the Novel 2 times.Was this review helpful to you?

Highly recommended!!
There are a lot of things I loved about this show and a few that I didn't like, but not enough to make me hate the show. I LOVE BOTH MAIN CHARACTERS despite the fact that with a little communication some of their issues wouldn't be a big deal. But that's the case with a lot of dramas. They like to pan it out a bit. However, I really love their chemistry, and they are actually super sweet to each other when they push their misunderstandings aside and actually tell each other how they feel. I was giggling and kicking my feet a lot. As for the side pairings...well... I liked them enough. Vegas and Pete were more interesting, and I didn’t really enjoy Porchay and Kim as much as the other 2 pairings, but I could see the vision ig. There was a lot to be desired in that regard and the cliffhanging didn't really help them either, since we wouldn't likely be getting s2. There are a lot of plot holes and I wouldn't get invested if you couldn't handle that, since again, we, likely will not get s2, so It's good to pretend the ending is just the real ending for now.Overall, I highly recommend, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE THE SPICY BL'S. Lots of nice moments between the pairs ;)

That was one hell of a ride. This plot hits different in comparison to all the other BL series we've seen so far. It's dark, dangerous and seductive. Probably many won't enjoy this saying that it's not a great representation of the LGBT community and they're probably right. But for me at least this is not a problem. It's just a series and I don't want to watch something about the difficulties and the harsh reality, I just want to watch something that I will enjoy and that it will make me forget about real life for a second.
The music is amazing. Jeff Satur's song really made me emotional every time, but it's the main song by Slot Machine that will hold a special place in my heart.
All the actors did a great job. I could see the hard work and the love they put into these characters and I could always understand and feel their troubles, their happy moments, etc.
I think this one will change the course of Thai BL series in general. It was new and fun and I would totally recommend it

My Favourite BL Series By Far - RECOMMENDED!
This series is honestly a favourite of mine, however I do wish this included a trigger warning for some particular scenes, maybe not in the episode but like in the details on this website or such, because some of these scenes may be triggering for some people. Other than that I absolutely loved this series, the storyline was amazing, there's a lot of unexpected plot twists, and the acting from the casts was amazing, I honestly love this show. I recommend this to anyone considering to watch. It's awesome.Was this review helpful to you?
