KinnPorsche (2022)

A Gamechanger

When I read the book for KinnPorsche I was wondering... will this really be that good? I know the hype behind the show, personally I've been a part of it also, and with all that I knew that the show could just be overhyped and overrated. Hot Take: it is not anywhere near being overrated.

Coming from a country where there are many BL's that means there ultimately is a formula that could be followed and many stereotypes that are sort of a Niche to BL's as a whole. KinnPorsche isn't any of that, it's as the directors described, a story between two people. Regardless of gender the relationships are real, improved in areas to add a sense to further the characters. The characters are more developed, and looking into only the first episode alone I can tell this show will continue on a high point and only keep going up.

The story had so much potential as a book and I am so glad they are taking it seriously. I see so many ways that the topics could've been dealt with, and how the relationships could've been handled as well. KinnPorsche takes a completely new approach and offers something fresh, gritty, and overall a refreshing story as a whole. The production is top noch, and you can tell a lot of work went into this. I know as I've followed the production how much passion and care was put into this series. As a result this series is what it is. A gamechanger to BL's, setting a high bar for mature storylines within the genre of BL. This series shows that a series can be this cinematic and can be taken seriously as a whole. It's without the campiness around LGBTQ topics, it shows people and situations in a way that's respectful.

The acting is at the top, the production, the plot, the pacing, the chemistry. KinnPorsche had the care behind it and ultimately it's a show I highly recommend. KinnPorshe is adult, so I recommend to adults and feel bad for those who live their life not knowing this show exists or not watching it. Watch KinnPorse guys, it's really good

Hi, I actually enjoy the show but there is a dubious consent sex scene at the end of episode 4 and I wanted to let other people know in case this kind of scenario is upsetting. I am very upset by dubious consent sex scenes where consent is not firmly established. at the end of episode 4 one of the characters is drugged and hitting on a sober character. they hook up, and it makes me feel yucky. I'm not here to yuck other people's yums, but I just wanted to let other folks know in case this kind of scenario also upsets them.

After reading other spoilers/reviews, apparently there's mostly dubcon sex scenes where one character is inebriated and the other is not, so I'm dropping the show for now.

Meets Expectation

Oh, I just loved the pacing of the show. have been waiting for this show for so long and it didn't disappoint

I just hope the chemistry between the actors follows the same pace as can be seen in the first episode.

Things that I liked
* The story buildup
* Pace
* Duration of the episode
* Hot actors

Scope for Improvement
* Acting of some of the side actors like Porsche's brother
* gone are the days where we wait for episodes every week, don't know why even now many Asian series releases once every week. I am not sure if I won't lose my interest in this BL (even when it's just my type) because of this weekly thing.

What a waste of hopes, time and efforts watching it

When two years ago the first trailer has been released, I had great expectation of the title.

And then, passed weeks, months, seasons, years, and nothing but the first trailer. Which was excellent work, by the way.

For some time I had assumption that it was all. Well, so far, so good. There are many shorts that have hints for expansion, but remain there.

And then started to appear new trailers, and with each new one my hopes were sinking, like US warships in Pearl Harbor.

Finally, I have seen first episode. And I fully regret it. If only I have restrained myself onto first trailer.

After watching it, I cannot decide what was the cause. I guess that similar result would be if production has spent almost entire budget on renting exorbitantly expensive spaces for shooting and expensive cars to parade with, so the rest was more than discouraging for everyone involved: scriptwriters, directors, actors, ...

If there were scarecrow strawmen, at least I would know that I am expected to animate them mentally. But directors have employed living beings, unfortunately. It floods with wrong entry timings, script inconsistencies, poor cutting, poor acting most of the time, .... name it. Result looks as if everybody was doing forced labor in Nazi camps. Just because it has BL notion, it does not deserve this.

I have dropped watching it further.
