KinnPorsche (2022)

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.

This was the most anticipated BL series of the year and trust me it did not disappoint.
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

farcical end ruins it

excellent drama, everything looks expensive and high quality, the casting (so many handsome actors who also can act!), the cinematography, the kaleidoscopical plot, the beautiful settings... everything BUT the last episode, that seems written by a different person. the mafia war is like a computer game!? tens of people killed, no one wearing a protection vest, the ML's hardly get a scratch though. the ones we thought dead are alive, the secrets are neverending. and after all the blood bath, here come the sugary moments of all the loving couples/families. i guess the ending is somehow justified, still it should've been toned down.
obviously, the director left the door open for a sequel, too many loose ends.
well, nothing is to be taken seriously abt this drama anyway, just enjoy it.

SIDE PAIRING DID NOT DISAPPOINT

Okay okay. I know the main pairing is the main plot here but I could not get enough of the side pairing's story???!!! Vegas X Pete contain much more meaningful relationship and yes, I agree that they are toxic but um hello????? I feel it shows the most realistic relationship especially when you living in Mafia surrounding. Bible, my baby. He is the best! The English pronunciation is *CHEF KISS*. Build, also my baby, portrays that he is not weak but he is not strong either. I don't know what to say but I will only rewatch for Vegas X Pete. Such a waste that BOC did not take care of Build well and now it will be difficult to see any project for Build X Bible. But anyway, I love the plot and the casting because they manage to make it realistic and not cringe. LOVE IT!!! <3 The action is on point and I would never have thought that I would love action series but here I am.

Worth the wait !

The overall wait for the series was worth it. The acting without a doubt was excellent, especially that of Bible ( Vegas), the rest of the cast also delivered outstanding performances. This series is definitely different from other Bl series. I have been watching Bl series for quite some time and without a doubt, this series is one of the best Bl series I have watched. I was really tired of watching the university-type Bl series so this series was like a breath of fresh air.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of the series. I just finished watching the finale episode and I miss them already. I am so happy Vegas and Pete got their happy ending, the last hospital scene with Vegas, Pete, and Macau was so cute, their smiles are everything after all the pain and suffering. I liked Kinn and Porsche in the first half of the series but Vegas and Pete definitely carried the series from episode 10. I miss them already.

So good!!!

Damn this was good!! Till the end I couldn't guess if Kinn's father is truly telling the truth. Also just before he was shot Vegas's dad seemed to have something important to say. So my guess is that they both messed up and only told their own embellished version of the real story. Also I don't believe the reason why Porsche's mom can't speak is cause she took pills...That's just shady! That aside I'm glad KimChay didn't end up together...Kim just rub me the wrong way. VegasPete is a hot mess but they kinda work. And kinnPorshe is just hella hot. Now for the sake of being noisy just like Kim and that for no particular reason I gathered infos about the characters:
Kinn = cruel and kind
Porshe = strong and stupid
Tonkhun = the best!
Big = so mad he died!
Ken= good thing he died!
Pete = pitiful and loyal
Vegas = cruel and pitiful
Chay = sweet and useless
Kim = I don't like him
Korn = can't figure him out
Gun = just shoot him
Porsche's mom = Whatever her "family" did to her, she is broken beyond repair!
Me = I'm so sad it's over! season 2 please!
Congratulation to all cast member! It was so much fun watching this series. Well done!!!

Amazing Show

Honestly there’s so much to appreciate about this show, but I’ll keep it short, the acting is top tier, the music is amazing, the story is spectacular, the chemistry is immaculate, the tension is always there, there isn’t a second where you aren’t at the edge of your chair waiting to see what’s gonna happen next or just having a plot twist out of nowhere. I absolutely loved this show, and I love how at the end everytbing was resolved and everyone was happy and where they should be (including Vegas and Pete which I wanted them to be together in the end so bad and I was hoping he didn’t die) and thank god he didn’t because that was one of the best relationships with that chemistry omg. Of course nothing beats Kinn and Porsche and their chemistry and relationship is just WOW! Overall amazing show and so worth watching, only thing is it’s a little long but honestly they do an amazing job at making a hour pass by like it’s a minute of how entertained and concentrated you will be.

Outstanding!

I didn't expect this when I first signed up for KinnPorsche since the novel is way off balanced for me. However, the series takes it own way of executing everything and is awesome in all level! Shit, I feel all characters even Erika. This must be the most satisfied episode Penultimate and Finale in any series I've watched in my recent memory! Live on par with BBS and The Severance level!

I love how they crafted Kinn to be more human than in the novel. I love how they made me feel for the character that I didn't like at all like Vegas and the relationship that I kept on screaming NOOOOOO between Vegas and Pete. I love how they don't make Porsche's attitude a toxic one. I love Tankhun for just being Tankhun which is very weird since I thought I would be annoyed by this character so much when he first appeared. I love how they give Kim justice on showing his skill as one of the three mafia family new generation members. I just love Erika without having to give a freaking damn reason! And yes, I love every characters, main or sides (except you know who). They all have such an amazing chemistry and backup stories! I loved and enjoyed every episode as in EVERY! However, if I have to vote for my top 3, it's EP6, EP13 and EP14.

In EP6 - I have no idea how could they make a 2 men stand up show become very much addicted, moved and touched at the same time without getting bored AT ALL! Their chemistry is off the chart. The director could really use this single episode opportunity to explore the personality of Kinn and Porsche amazingly and took us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Mile and Apo portrayed Kinn and Porsche in a way that I don't feel like acting but 'being' is the word that is right for them.

In EP13 - I couldn't stop thinking of how could they do this. Previously, I felt no regret or pity for Vegas at all. I'd never rooted for Vegas and Pete relationship at all and I couldn't see myself crying for Vegas or VegasPete relationship like ever! There was no slightly sign that they would make me cry 'til I lost my breath like this. The 'Contradiction Song' is so beautifully written in both lyrics and melody. I ended up crying my shit off for Vegas and Pete in a way that I wouldn't expect before. Bible and Build performance in that scene alone is an award tier and no one can talk me out from that idea.

The graveyard confession scene is also very touching and beautiful. The interaction between Kinn and Porsche and the way that we all know Porsche hid some major things from Kinn that could lead to trust issue is so real. When Apo changed his facial expression after Mile talked the line about trust, I couldn't rest easy from there on. And the ending, OMG! my worst fear ever is the bloodline issue. I was not in the right state of mind to take that troll anymore.

EP14 - My gosh!! This is how you end the series with a bang. This is a season Finale that is very rare to see. Before KinnPorsche, I felt satisfied by the ending of Apple TV+ Original 'Severance' as it kept me on edge and I thought for a second that this would be unbeatable for long. How I was wrong about that, few months later and I found KinnPorsche Finale that kept me on edge with twisted and actions and emotion until the real final second of the episode. The confusion created in the Finale is legit and is a leading to Season 2. However, they did really close all important issues that they started in Season 1 within the Finale so I don't feel like being left in the middle of the ocean like most of the series I've watched.

The action sequences are executed very well. I like how they could bring all the characters together in this madness of season finale. They didn't leave anyone behind, not even Erika. I love how they created the fight style that is very suitable for Tankhun and Arm. It's so believable and satisfying. I love how they gave Kim a solo fight scene that is so kick ass cool!! OMG!!! I freaking love everything in the Season Finale.

All in all, 9.5/10. I don't say it's perfect but the way it's being executed make me forget about every flaw here and there in the 14 episodes long series. I love it at maximum.
