KinnPorsche (2022)

WATCH IT!

These series gave me everything I could wish for and even more I didn't ask for but still liked. Kinn being the arrogant brat he should be as mafia boss's son falling in love with poor bartender with debts that aren't his but his father's and using this to make him work for him was genius. I don't want to praise the authors much as I know about the issue and toxicity with them but this story is complete masterpiece. There was no episode that'd bore me or that I'd expect what's gonna happen next. Porsche automatically became my favorite character together with Pete and Chay. Power bottoms but they were all amazing. Also Kinn's older bro was the legend. I laughed everytime he appeared on the screen showing how great the actor is. I liked how Kinn taking advantage of Porsche wasn't overlooked but Porsche was genuinely hurt and Kinn prayed for his forgiveness because it's not okay to sleep with drugged person. Being lost in that forest was really everything they needed to understand each other more and get closer. It helped Kinn to change too and be more himself. Then we have Kim and Porchay aka younger generation of main couple. As I learn Chay's actor is still minor, I did not want to couple them very much as Jeff (Kim) is 10 years older. But luckily there weren't those scenes between them. Just innocent kiss on the cheek from Kim and cuddling. When Kim told Chay he did everything just to learn more about Porsche and his family and Chay broke into tears, I had to cry with him because he is the only character I can't stand hurt. He's just pure angel I fell in love with. It hurt me seeing him hurting himself with alcohol and almost drugs but Kim appeared again and tried to reconcile with him which was really hard but made Kim love Chay more. And in the end we have Vegas and Pete, couple I shipped just from the intro and funny scenes together turning into the most toxic but my most favorite. I seriously laughed when Vegas killed Tawan as I hated him and couldn't imagine Vegas being serious about anyone. He fooled me as I thought he's into Porsche but using him just as bait to hurt Kinn. I hated him for this but still liked his character. Then... everything went blank as Pete, my fav character I love, was being tortured to death by Vegas. He suffered so much he wanted to die but Vegas wanted to toy with him more. Now why are they my favorite when it's obvious red flag and KinnPorsche is completely green comparing to this? Emotional scenes is the answer. Learning about Vegas's past and seeing Pete struggling with the same thing. Both were left with daddy issues and child abuse which made them even closer and than Vegas's pet, the only thing he purely loved, died and made Vegas and Pete closer to that level Pete couldn't resist his urges and slept with Vegas. It seemed great, Vegas was more himself and less aggressive but after his so called dad hit him he became the same again and took his frustration on Pete again and Pete was suicidal again. In the end Pete managed to escape but still was stuck in Stockholm syndrome and was blinded by love to Vegas. I have to say Porsche disappointed me when he let Vegas see Pete for his help. Pete was hurt again, completely broken and I hated to see that. Vegas even strangled him to calm him down so he was still abusive. But the last scene where they are chasing each other as enemies and Vegas is unable to kill Pete is he's the first person he fell in love with, he wants to be killed by him instead. The scene was so powerful and emotional as both can't let each other go despite everything they went through and how Pete was sure Vegas died after being shot three times, I really thought he's gonna die with him as they were addicted to each other. This weird obsession that turned to love. I cried, I really cried very much and fell into depression as I thought my favorite couple and ship just sunk but I waited till the end of the episode Porsche making me the happiest woman by saying Vegas is doing fine with Pete by his sight. The final scene where they smile, are happy like complete and heartwarming family melted my heart. And Vegas's brother accepting Pete and totally loving being with them with no worries was so amazing. I came here for spicy scenes but my favorite because the family moments between couples. Absolutely loved it and recommend it with all love!

I'm not sure what happened!?!

So I don't get all the hype about this show or maybe after listening to the hype I was expecting more but I feel like the story was all over the place and half way through it I honestly didn't care about Kinn or Porsche because the side stories were way more interesting Vegas & Pete need a show that starts after Vegas recovers. I would also watch a show about Kim & Porchay. I think maybe I expected to much and they just tried to do too much I mean at the end I want sure who was related to who have they all been sleeping with relatives? Got to the point I didn't know and I didn't care.

Not so stereotypical mafia story

KinnPorsche is one of those stories I could rewatch a million times without getting bored.

Firstly, I have to say that I started the series with negative thoughts because of my hatred towards the "mafia romance" storyline I am not so fond of. I was scared that the story would turn into those mainstream erotic-themed scenarios evident in most books and movies (especially Western ones). With this type of trope, the creators were stomping on thin ice and even one mistake could make this work unwatchable.
But despite the heavy start, I was pleasantly surprised with how the plot was delivered. There weren't any parts in the show when I had to pause and think to myself "What are you doing with your life?", which is very rare with Thai BL.
The main element that made the series so enjoyable was the chemistry between the main couple. Thanks to Apo and Mile, I watched the whole time amazed by their performance. I won't be lying when I say that there were no awkward scenes that could make the watcher uncomfortable or embarrassed. Every moment between the main characters was worth remembering and unique in its way.
The next element that stood out to me was the fact that we've got some noteworthy storylines from side characters as well. It made me even more excited to continue because every episode had something fresh to offer. There was no dullness in what I was watching. I wasn't bored even once as a result of the rich and stimulating script.
And while I am a big fan of the series, I have to say that some of the plot was a little bit unclear for me at first. I have no idea whether it's because of the pace of the story or my slowness but it might be apparent to some while watching. Though for me it cleared up pretty fast after continuing.
And you might wonder "Why hasn't she rated this work ten stars if she's such a big fan of it?". Well, even as an enthusiast I can point out that there was a romanticisation of themes that shouldn't be there. Some dark topics were just presented too vaguely in my opinion (which caused a lot of discourse around the portrayal of specific behaviours). And even though it wasn't that noticeable to others, it was something I couldn't ignore.
Overall, I would recommend KinnPorsche to anyone interested in BLs, especially the more mature ones. A bumpy ride full of intriguing characters, big affairs and complex motives unfolding in front of your eyes. Nothing ordinary or mundane.
What else can I say?

Enjoy this rollercoaster,
Lula

A heartfelt Thai BL with action

Kinnporsche may not have made it to the top of my list for Thai BL, but it definitely found a place in my heart. There were some loose ends that needed tying up, especially regarding the truth between the dad (main family head) and uncle (minor family head). The uncle was supposed to say something before the dad killed him, leaving me uncertain about whom to trust since the dad has already lied multiple times in the series. This particular scene doesn't sit well on me.

However, I must give credit to the action scenes that was well-executed. Although comedies weren't necessary, they somehow added to the overall fun.

Finally, it's refreshing to see a Thai BL that doesn't revolve around school romance. It's been a while since I last watched one, and now I finally understand why there was so much hype around this series last year.

And let's not forget Vegas' sexy english and Jeff's amazing OST. Overall, it was a beautiful BL experience.

Lived up to the hype

I hadn’t watched this because (1) I was not a IQIYI subscriber but I finally broke down and subscribed yesterday and (2) I am not a Mile fan but I have read that he is one of the nicest guys out there.

I just finished the series ( in 2 days - because I had to work today haha). Let me tell you, it was fantastic. Mafia themes are my favorite. Manner of Death and HIStory 3 are other favorites.

The acting was superb. I never expected this to bring out so many different emotions . Apo wins the prize for gorgeous, sexy, fit, and hilarious. Some parts were funny, while other parts were very intense. The twists and turns keep coming until the very end. Not one boring part anywhere.

The BibleBuild story was over the top like nothing I have ever seen before. Incredible.

Overall, it was great and I would watch this again.

A kedvenc thai bl sorozatom. Nagyon izgalmas a storyja. A vegaspete jelenetek a legjobbak. Remélem Bible és Build lesznek egyútt még sorikban. Nekem Vegas mint karakter nagyon tetszett,, érdekes volt, erösnek mutatja magát de mégis belül gyenge.A háttérstory nagyon izgalmas és jól kitalált. Mindenkinek ajánlom. Bár kicsit szomorú vagyok higy porchay és kim nem jöttek össze, de 2024-ben Jeff és Barcode együtt lesznek egy wuju bakery nevű bl ben . Akinek nagyon tetszik és már látta az nézze meg a not me-t , nagyon hasonló.
A kinnporchet egyik thai bl rajongó sem hagyhatja ki.

Aspettative troppo alte

Ho visto questa serie dopo diversi mesi dalla sua uscita sentendola lodare molto da tutti e quindi l'ho probabilmente iniziata con aspettative troppo alte pensando che avrei visto qualcosa di molto diverso. Iniziamo col dire che la cinematografia della serie, la regia, la fotografia tutto è di livello molto alto e si vede. Ciò che per me è mancato è il vibe giusto per l'argomento trattato. Si tratta di una serie di mafia in fondo, ambientata in ambiente mafioso, ma è troppo 'cute' in troppi episodi per esserlo veramente. La storia tra Porsche e Kinn è troppo dolce prende troppo tempo e non è realisticamente inserita nel contesto. A parte che non si capisce perchè si innamorino e tutto accada troppo in fretta, questo passi, ma la psicologia dei due personaggi è molto basica. Porsche ancora ancora ci sta,ma Kinn proprio non l'ho capito a parte che sente il peso della sua famiglia e del dovere e vorrebbe non averlo a parte che fatica a fidarsi della persone (ma va?) ma anche questo è mostrato in modo estremamente semplicistico. Così come anche la trama mafiosa dei problemi con la famiglia minore e gli italiani, che è veramente ridotta all'osso. Scene buttate lì ma non spiegate. Mentre entrare più a fondo negli affari di famiglia mostrarci gli intrighi politici con le altre mafie, il commercio e l'importazione della droga, il racket, tutto avrebbe reso più realistico il telefilm invece nada. Sono di più le scene nel bar che non le scene d'azione. Sarà che sono abituata a telefilm mafiosi di alto livello come La Piovra o Gomorra, sarà che mentre lo guardavo seguivo anche il kdrama Reborn rich estremamente ben costruito, e forse chiedevo troppo ad un BL. Ma anche Not me che pure era un BL thai è riuscito a darmi molta più profondità di temi sociali e politici pur contenendo tre storie d'amore. KinnPorsche no, rimance fluffy e cute veramente veramente troppo per una serie di Mafia. Gli unici personaggi credibili sono Korn, suo fratello e Pete come bodyguard (a volte). Ma gli altri sono macchiette o terribilmente troppo semplici se uno pensa seriamente ai loro ruoli. Poi per carità mi è stato simpatico il fratello maggiore di Kinn, e mi è piaciuto il ruolo di Kim il fratello minore. Ho capito meglio lui e il suo conflitto nel provare qualcosa per Porschay che non Kinn col suo rapporto con Porsche. L'ho visto più credibile. Non so, in questa serie ho visto molto potenziale buttato lì e sprecato purtroppo, a favore di ore e ore di scene smut della coppia principale a scapito di una trama che poteva essere molto ma molto meglio. E anche il finale. Mi sarei dovuta stupire che dietro a tutto c'era Korn? Non credo proprio, fin dall'inizio ci viene mostrato che è lui che controlla la partita tramite tantissime scene con gli scacchi, praticamente ce lo urlano che dietro a tuutto c'è lui. Sono piuttosto delusa. La colonna sonora però è veramente stupenda e utilizzata benissimo.

Un capolavoro nell'idea, una serie con grosse pecche nel concreto.

KinnePorsche si prospettava come "LA" serie. Quella che aveva le carte in regola per strappare un 10 pieno e diventare il capolavoro del genere BL. Almeno questo è quanto promettevano trama e recensioni a dir poco estasiate. Il contesto della malavita e un'ambientazione per una volta tanto non accademica, era ciò in cui confidavo. Dopo i primi 6 minuti - quando Kinn fredda un tizio con un colpo di pistola - sono convinta: ho tra le mani un vero gioiello. Alla fine del primo episodio, e della memorabile scazzottata tra Kinn e Porsche, sono ancora dello stesso parere.
La triste verità si palesa, ahimè, già negli episodi successivi. Non ci sono personaggi che seguono una trama, ma la trama che si piega a scene volute tra i personaggi, meccanismo destinato ad incappare nell'incoerenza assoluta. Un esempio? La battuta ad effetto di Kinn rispetto al fatto che tutti lo vogliono morto...Tutti chi?!? Nel primo episodio gira con una scorta armata, dopo un po' di puntate se ne va a zonzo per i fatti suoi. Le pratiche BSDM di Kinn? Altro esempio, anche lì elemento iniziale ad effetto che - per carità - può starci, ma poi non può finire nel nulla cosmico. Ciò che si promette allo spettatore, che siano caratterizzazioni, frasi o quant'altro, deve poi essere mantenuto, altrimenti nasce spontaneo l'interrogativo "Ma perchè?!?!?". Dico, ma dove sta la credibilità di uno spietato boss della malavita con la mira di un cecchino che si illumina di entusiasmo manco fosse un albero a Natale nel catturare un pesce con un bastone la cui punta - c'è davvero bisogno che qualcuno glielo dica? - non può essere spuntata? Ma per favore, non scherziamo. La serie procede, le belle premesse iniziali finiscono nel dimenticatoio e la coppia felice cade sempre di più nell'OOC: Porsche in particolare viene proprio snaturato, un bel personaggio con un carattere deciso e definito che diventa a tratti ridicolo col suo risolino melenso. Kinn, poi, è stato davvero una delusione cocente: quella maschera di spietata freddezza che avevo tanto apprezzato nel primo episodio si è rivelata essere in realtà la sua unica espressione. No, errore mio, le sue espressioni in realtà sono ben due: Kinn che non sorride e Kinn che sorride. Se all'attore che interpreta Porsche riconosco la capacità di aver saputo mostrare tutta una serie di espressioni, per Kinn - e più che il personaggio dovrei dire l'attore che lo interpreta - mi è sembrato davvero di avere a che fare con una paresi facciale che non distingueva rabbia, preoccupazione, noia, paura, stupore, risentimento o che altro. Va da sé che la chimica tra i due - nonostante credo sia la serie che più di tutte può vantare le scene più esplicite (NC18 senza ombra di dubbio) - alla fine è quella che è, vuoi per la poca espressività i Kinn, vuoi per Porsche che del personaggio iniziale conserva giusto il nome. Grossolani errori vengono perpetrati anche a danno dei personaggi secondari, in primis Pete/Vegas: io capisco l'idea che sta dietro alla loro ship, un amore che nasce da un iniziale odio, ma messa così non è davvero credibile: cinque minuti prima Vegas si accanisce su Pete torturandolo fino a ridurlo praticamente in fin di vita, cinque minuti dopo i due si avvicinano grazie al "toccante" momento della dipartita del riccio di Vegas. Dai, mi viene da ridere anche mentre lo scrivo. In questo mare di pecche la serie ha comunque un suo fascino, per quanto altalenante e discontinuo. A salvarla sono due personaggi secondari: uno è Thankhun, splendido ed esilarante con la sua verve, la dipendenza dalle serie tv, l'abbigliamento a dir poco eccentrico e la sua passione per le carpe koi; l'altro è Kim, un personaggio con tutti gli attributi che avrebbe dovuto avere Kinn nel ruolo del boss protagonista della serie. E' proprio Kim che sa muoversi perfettamente in quel mondo che paradossalmente sembra rifuggire: freddo, determinato, mai snaturato, consapevole delle proprie abilità "da cattivo" ma che non necessita mai di metterle in mostra se non necessarie. E' diretto e scaltro, fedele ai suoi principi e soprattutto non si trasforma in una "panna cotta" come accade a Kinn e Porsche in diverse scene di una glicemia banale e irritante. KinnPorsche non è quindi un capolavoro, poteva essere l'idea di un capolavoro, poteva avere una qualità di riprese degne di un capolavoro...ma per quella temo dovrò ancora attendere che qualcuno, con magari con le stesse premesse, voglia dare vita a una serie simile che non tralasci però la coerenza nella trama e che punti a personaggi/attori come Kim senza però snaturarli in corso d'opera.

THE BEST MAFIA THEMED SERIES FOR SURE

I am writing this after a year.... And you can already imagine what the series is for me that I can watch it again and again.... When it said the series was not going to be released because of production problem I was mad as heck but the series was WORTH OF ALL THE WAITING! The cast , their chemistry, plots, quality altogether it was the best of BE ON CLOUD and always will be! Hoping for Season 2.... If u are new in this BL WORLD this will make u fall in love with this world. I used to prefer only fluffy, all white, student life or mid 20s' BL SERIES ( but I was a HUGE THARNTYPE & MANNER OF DEATH fan then also lol) as I started with 2gether and used to just watch Gmmtv, Studio Wabi Sabi and Rookies Thailand's series and used to think these MAFIA themed series are not my type but this series proved me wrong! Now I am obsessed with BE ON CLOUD !!! If you are hesitant because of Mafia genre I assure you that you will loveee it! GO FOR IT

Practically perfect.. however...

There is so much to love about this series that it's hard to pick which aspect was at the top. But for me, the overall production was superbly executed; everything from the story to the acting to the camera work and direction. (Special shout-out to the fight scene in the casino and, more specifically, the panning shot going up and down the stairs.)

It truly was a rollercoaster ride of emotions - sometimes so quick, in fact, that I felt like I may get resulting whiplash. Within the span of 10 minutes, there could be a moment of laughter, tugging at heartstrings and on the verge of tears in suspense, but it still all worked well and somehow managed to flow all the same.

I like how every character has their strengths and their flaws. No one is perfect and they all make mistakes, but you still root for them despite their shortcomings. They are all simply human, trying to make the most out of the hands they were dealt either from birth or somewhere along the way.

While I would love to see more, I feel like the story could end here, at least as far as the relationships go. The only relationships I'd be curious about is Kim and then how the boys handle being reunited with their mom. However, it kind of broke my heart that the mom looked almost uncomfortable and afraid of them as they hugged her in the ending scene. They just want to love her but they are essentially strangers to her and that's devastating... I don't know if I could sit through more scenes like that. And yet I thought it was beautifully executed all the same to show the reality of the situation and that being reunited is not going to be all hearts and rainbows.

Overall, the series was the best I've watched to date in the BL genre, hands down. There is definitely rewatch value in it, especially knowing what the ending is. I'm looking forward to searching for hints from the beginning since I know there were "lightbulb" moments for sure.


***EDIT***

After watching the series a second time, I feel like there is even more rewatch value in this series. During the first watch, I'm constantly confused with all the deceit and trying to guess who is actually good or bad. But, as I've said above, everyone is flawed in their own ways yet it's how they deal with it that makes the viewer either root for them or jeer them.

My main gripe with it is the whole storyline with Porsche's parents essentially being thrown in in the penultimate episode. That didn't really give viewers much time to grasp what the heck was going on and I still wonder who was telling the truth with all the different scenarios that were presented. And man, the way the mother was uncomfortable while Chay and Porsche tried to make her remember them still bugs me the second time around.

I did have to up my rating though because it's still a great series and I will keep it in rotation for favorite series.
