If it wasn't for Tie Xin Lan, I would've given it a much higher score
So, overall I really did enjoy watching this show. There were so many times I laughed out loud and the action scenes were great! If you like dramas that are mostly about family issues and conspiracies, you will love this.Jiang Xiao Yu was such a likable character and the actor who played him was cast perfectly! The dynamics between the two brothers made me love this show and the intense reveals towards the end really got me in my emotions.
And I LOVED the female characters in this show! They were so cool, funny, fierce, and gorgeous!
That being said, I legit took off 2 points just because of one character: Tie Xin Lan.
Omg yall, I could not stand her character!!!! I liked her at first but then as the show went on, it just went downhill.
She was the most useless person on the show and I could not understand her role in this drama. I was constantly annoyed at how she literally had zero ability to do anything except stand around. There was no character development at all and I also felt like she had no personality tbh. Yea... I just could not vibe with her character in this show.
But anyway, if I were to take her out, then YES this show was great! The story/plot was good and overall acting was good too.
And I really appreciated the comedy that Jiang Xiao Yu's character brought to the show. It made it so much fun to watch!
That's all :))

Give it a chance!
It wasn't perfect but I definitely enjoyed watching it so much! It's one of those series I never expected myself to like, but WOW I am so glad I gave it a chance !!The cinematography is GREAT, and I love each pairing in this show! The side couples especially stole my heart!
The cast was also very well picked! They did so well in their roles and I could feel so much chemistry between all the couples :D
As for the story, I feel like this show gives off a sense of reality, which I appreciate. The story really makes you get engaged to all the characters and their respective struggles. However, there were some parts I wish could've gone better. For example, the pacing was off.... and the time jump kinda made things weird.
And I was hoping for a better ending tbh, but I guess I can understand why the writers chose to end it that way.
So overall, tho there are some parts that could've been better, it's honestly one of my favorite BLs I've watched this year!
I found myself getting excited about each episode release and now that it's over, I miss it quite a lot.
I feel like this show is def a hidden gem and should be talked about more. Lowkey hoping for a S2 with more insight on how the couples are doing or even some special episodes plssss

ITS GOOD
So obvi we've all been waiting for this series for a very long time and I think it was definitely worth the hype!First, the cast was very well chosen! The complex character of Vegas was done perfectly because of Bible. I don't think anyone else could've acted this role as well as him. The rest of the cast also acted very well, especially Apo! The chemistry between each couple was perfect! Mile & Apo were an amazing pair and acted so well as Kinn & Porsche. and OF COURSE Bible & Build did SOOOO GOOD as Vegas & Pete, these roles were def made for them. LOL and I found Barcode's acting to be very endearing and cute haha. With Jeff, he's obvi a good actor but his character just didn't do it for me.
And lets give a huge round of applause to Tong, who played Tankhun. His character was one of my favorites!!!
And lemme just say I really admire all the actors for how much dedication and time they put into their roles. You can really tell that the actors became one with their characters and worked so hard to make this show the best it could be :)) sooooo honestly 10/10 for the cast and overall acting.
As for plot, there are some things I wish were different in terms of both pacing and reasoning. For example, what was Kim's purpose for the entire season? He was investigating lots of stuff but there really wasn't much of a conclusion or impact (?) I feel like his entire role was very BLAND to me. It's like the only thing he did the entire series was break Chay's heart :/
And I also wish the whole VegasPete arc was introduced a bit earlier, even just a few scenes would've helped. To me, their story felt very rushed and crowded in the last few episodes.
There are also many questions I have that still aren't answered, like why did this Ken even betray the family??? And how is Tawan even alive in the first place???? There were also lots of scenes that I felt like were a bit dragged and unnecessary.
I also think there were several plot holes. The plot and writing itself could've had SO MUCH MORE DEPTH! and tell me why there were sooooo many characters but it felt like they weren't even needed. For example, Ta! I feel like the writers could've made more use of his character! For example, showing us the relationship of Vegas and Ta as brothers, which would let us see more of Vegas's compassionate side. And on that note, WHY is there barely any scenes of the 3 major family brothers interacting!! They sat together one time during the entire series. I feel like It would've been so interesting to see their dynamics as brothers and watch them interact & work together. Or at least give us reasoning as to why Kim doesn't even speak a word to Kinn the entire show. ALSO Tay & Time!!! They were introduced but barely had any screentime so we were left with nothing in regards to their story :((
anyways.... now on to the positive side :
Even with all the plot issues, I still did like the show! I feel like overall it's VERY HARD to find such a high-production and mature BL so I'm very happy and satisfied with what KinnPorsche did :D Of course it could've been better, but I still enjoyed it for what it was and I def anticipated each episode as it was airing!
ALSOOO ----- The directors did an amazing job with their shots, some scenes were just BEAUTIFUL!!! and I LOVED the coloring that was associated with specific scenes and characters.
As for the music, MY BOY JEFF REALLY HIT IT WITH THE ONE!!! His song "Why dont you stay" was a perfect addition to this story and the lyrics explain exactly how the characters feel which i LOVEEEEE. The intro song "Freefall" for this series is also super good and goes very well with the theme !
To CONCLUDE: my overall feelings with the show
As a watcher, you do get super attached to these characters and even tho some of their decisions are questionable, you really feel for them & root for them. All of the relationships in this show are problematic in some shape or form but I think that's to be expected because of how they all grew up. It is the mafia world afterall~~ That being said, this series highlights how our childhood & relationship with parents can affect the way we grow up & treat those around us. And I appreciate that this series takes us through each character's trauma and gives us background as to why they act a certain way. I also like that many of the characters had good character development, whether it be in their relationship or within themself.
And as a plus, I think this series did a very good job in making us sympathize with even the most morally WRONG characters so I applaud them for that! Who would've thought I'd go from hating Vegas to loving him lol
And DONT WORRY------> Even with all the serious scenes throughout the series, there are still so many laughs & funny moments happening. Plus several cute scenes of our KinnPorsche couple which I loved to see :D
So yeaaa I really do recommend everyone to watch this series, especially if you're a fan of BL. It's probably one of the best BL I've ever watched in terms of production and acting :)) so do give it a watch !

not bad, could've been a lot better
Okay so it wasn't THAT BAD. Honestly, I enjoyed watching it. BUT, objectively speaking, it could've been so much better.Starting with the actors, I absolutely love Chap and Green. They're one of my favorite ships off-screen so I was really excited for this show and I think they're acting was done pretty good.
With the plot, the pacing was kinda off. Everything happened so fast and there were many things that didn't feel complete. Lots of scenes felt unnecessary, repeated, and sorta cringe. BUT BUT BUT! Given that each episode was only 20mins, I feel like most of the flaws are understandable. If the show was longer, then the storyline would prob be a lot better and more clear.
Soooo I wasn't really focused on the plot as much because of the lack of development. Tbh Chap & Green's chemistry really saved the show for me. Their pairing is reaaallllyyyy nice visually and you can tell they're comfortable with each other which is GREAT.
There's not much to say about the side characters cause honestly you don't really know much about them. And I blame that on how short the show was.
The soundtrack by Jeff Satur was AMAZING !!! Love his voice, that song is stuck in my head all the time lol
TO CONCLUDE: if you just want to watch something short that doesn't require much thinking & has really handsome leads with great chemistry, then this is the show for you lol ------but if you want a really nice storyline with great acting and character/plot development, then its best you find something else to watch :)))
