I was not disappointed
I came into the show blind without watching trailers, clips, and did not read the novel, so I was not looking forward to anything. But I did come into this knowing it was a BL, so I was waiting for that aspect. The biggest thing that this show has done, which none other has done for me before is that the anticipation for a new episode every Saturday was always high. So I did love that it was very dramatic until the end, if you love the SLOW BUILD, this show is NOT for you. Everything happens very fast, to the point that you might even miss things and have to come to the internet to realize some stuff. Was it perfect? No. Did I love it? Very, much.**Spoilers ahead**
Some things you will see might be triggering, and it would be best if you can't handle torture, violence, blood, and sex while drugged (yes that's how I'm calling it), you might have to step back. Many characters that are complex and very flawed, and I think that's exactly what the show wanted to portray.
This show has handled some heavy topics very well in my opinion especially Porsche's ''rape''. And because Kinn and Porsche ended up in a relationship after they had sex while Porsche was drunk does not mean the show is romanticizing rape, please.
The whole VegasPete relationship, I can understand how some people might not like it, very understandable. At first I didn't know how the show was going to portray such a complex dynamic. But they did very well, to the point that I was rooting for them to have a happy ending.
** End of Spoilers**
In conclusion if you were expecting Casa Del Papel or The Godfather SORRY. it's not. It's just a show, with a dash of mafia and a lot of gay. And the soundtrack is so great.

This series' reputation preceded itself.
Boy, did it deliver, in way more ways than I expected.Only minutes into first episode, the production and music both proved to be top notch. The cinematography is gorgeous to look at. By the end of the first episode it was clear the actors and writing were quality as well. With writing, it's hard for me to tell how much of the quality is the original script and how much goes to the translation. Maybe it's a combination of both.
The characters behave logically, and their motivations feel believable, even if they're immoral choices. It's incredibly satisfying watching the character arcs, and the tension built between characters flows smoothly. There is so little to complain about in every aspect of this show that I thought it'd be a sin not to leave a review.
It's remarkable how the writing transforms your opinions of the characters too. You might start out feeling one way about a character, and before you realize it you feel the opposite way about them.
Something is to be said for the little moments of humor. I didn't expect them with the tone of the show, but not only were they welcome but they fit perfectly when they happened.
There's multiple couples explored and all of them are very different types of relationships that explore very different obstacles. I feel like they were balanced well without detracting from the main storyline. All of them have chemistry too.
I'll say one thing, based on its reputation, I was honestly surprised there weren't more love scenes (and I watched the La Forte version). The way people talked about it, I thought it might be one of those 'every episode' kind of shows, or 'every other episode,' but that was not the case. I will say the scenes lasted longer and went farther than any other show, but to me it added to what the show has to offer. It's not graphic, and it's not so often that it feels excessive. The scenes are carefully placed in terms of the evolution of the characters involved. And I'll reiterate here: the cinematography is gorgeous in these scenes as well.
Without spoiling anything, my one wish is that certain characters had a more conclusive onscreen ending. It was left a little open ended without making it clear to the audience what might happen next between them. But honestly that is one of the only missteps I can think of, but the only missteps happen at the end of the last episode.
Literally everything else, I can sing nothing but praises.
I thought Manner of Death had high production value, but this one was even higher.
Watching this honestly felt like watching an award winning show/movie. Every little thing just fell into place in an amazing way that was extremely satisfying.

Overwhelming (in a positive way)
First of all, it is really dark and rough. If someone is looking for a cute, tooth-roasting bl, I suggest to not watch KinnPorsche. But, actually this is its charm. Personally, I am really bored of the same, old sweet, clichΓ© bl/romance dramas (there are exceptions but OK). I am really happy to watch a turn of the genre to more serious and mature themes with stories more wholesome, well written characters and better direction and cinematography.Kinnporsche has all of them. A good, dark story with a main plot and smaller ones that complement it. Well written characters and an amazing cast to bring them to life (extra credit to Apo and Bible, they are absolutely perfect). Also, the production was really serious with movie-like work. The direction, the cinematography, the scenery, the music... (I was hooked in the first scene with Kinn, the Italians and the music...).
However, plot wise it was action-packed and fast, I really believe that they could slow down a bit and make more episodes. I think there were moments that the story was a bit rushed. A slower pace could give the characters more time to shine. I really needed a bit more depth in Kinn, Pete, Kim and Porschay. For the last three, I have hope in the 2nd season, if they finally do it. But especially Kinn, he is the main character and sometimes I was like wtf he is doing that or that... I wanted to see more of his motives.
Or maybe I am looking to say something a biit negative just to say it. Because really, what is important here is the big picture, the forest, not the tree. The evolution of the BL genre, especially the Thai. The last 2 years, we watched some great examples of good BL. "I told Sunset about you" and "I Promised you the Moon", "Bad Buddy", "Not me" and now "KinnPorsche". Series that take theirself seriously with realistic characters and a plot that goes deeper than the romance. Also, without harmful clichΓ©s and fetishism of LGBTQI+ people. Growing up, family, social problems, crime/mafia (not realistic but OK), themes popular in dramas but rare in BL dramas. I am really happy with this turn. With the success of these dramas, I am confident we will see more.
(English is not my native language. I really hope that I made sense.)

Worth the wait, Ride the hype
This series is rated 21+, so watch at your own risk. If you're a kid, go away as this series target viewers is adult. πSo far, I'm impressed of how well they interpret the novels into live action, it is not easy to express the feelings or emotions of the characters without using words. The directors and production team has done very well in the aspect of camera angle, cinematography, music arrangements, vfx effects, and etc. Currently Can't imagine what if... What if the series is cancelled. I'm so glad we are able to get this series, after few controversial issues. We are able to see the ability of Apo and Mile to delivers their character truthfully. For the storyline, I'm more interested in Vegas and Pete story. I want to know how the directors will lays their part of the story for us to see.
As this is an adaptation from the novels, there will always be comparison with the novel version, can't escape that. Currently we are at ep 5. I'm expecting the best from this series. Although there is several part that I think could be better, but for now I shall keep it to myself first and see how the series develop.
Till then.

KinnPorsche is not bad not so good as well
Most of the BL fans waited for this anticipated series.Yes, the first three episode are what i expected it to be so fun the cast are doing great and romantic kiss perfect for me.
But what i dont like now ep 4 my mind when crazy i partial read the novel bcoz it has lots of violence, rape, bdsm and i know its R18. But i am seeing this being shown in illegal site. Yes, some are paying but hacker and scammer are posting this in porn site. What is this the quality that you saying great cinematopgraphy. Great scene for porn like in porn site. And wait about that drugs does your series supporting that drugs in ep 4 not only that but non consent sex is called Rape adding drugs not very good to watch. People are praising this series even magazine saying future of BL.
Right now ep 7 Porsche is drunk and maybe little drugs was on his drunk. He said himself his a heavy drunker but his drunk already. His was almost got non consexually sex again. This series is wasted. Garbage for me. 4/10

Wow
I'll come back to flesh this review out once the series has finished airing, but until then: WOW.Opening episode? Brilliant.
The storyline so far? I'm hooked.
Characters? Adore them.
Music? Hits the spots.
The humour is light but adult, matching the theme SO well, the balance between serious and lighthearted is incredibly centred and just.. I'm down bad. This might just be this year's SHOW and I hope anyone who's side-eyed it so far opens a browser and watches.
My only complaint thus far will have to be that it is, in fact, still airing and I have the patience of a 5-year-old.

Worth the wait
Storyline/Plot: The first think that I liked about the story was that it was fast paced and easily to follow. Then, the overall Mafia theme, which was nice and dark for a BL series, since we do tend to get a lot of Campus type of BL's. I also enjoyed the adult content of the show it wasn't unnecessary many of the "adult" scenes were beautifully shot and served a purpose. Similarly, it was nice to see a BL that had adult content since most BL's are tamed and feel more like Bro romance. Furthermore, it wasn't predictable as most BL series are, yet they even changed the way things happened from the novel to spice it up a bit and get people anticipating for the next episode. The only minor thing about the plot was that there was only one plot hole in which never got resolved, which never really messed up the plot, but I would have liked the character's reaction to the conflict being resolved.Acting/cast: I felt like most of the cast did an amazing job and was amazingly casted. I could not imagine other actors playing any other roles unlike the cast that we got. I'd like to thank Miles for playing Kinn because he really brought out Kinns horny and slutty moments perfectly. While Apo was able to portray Porsche's unpredictable nature swiftly without no issues and it was believable.
Music: This was the first drama that I've watch were I liked all of the Ost's because it fit the show and it expressed character's relationships and how certain character's felt. It was a nice touch on letting Jeff have his own Ost since he is a famous musician/signer himself. Furthermore, I liked the main song in the show, Free fall, since they had two versions one from Porsche's Pov and another from Kinn's Pov.
In conclusions, this show isn't a masterpiece but it's a great show nonetheless and after this I will have high expectations when it comes to other BL series. I would also rewatch this show because it was really good, and I do hope that in the near future we do get a season two.

Perfect in imperfect.
Was actually drowned into the series all those 14 weeks, waiting every Saturday night to come.Many people criticized it as "just a sexual, 21+, thirsty trap" and what else they expect in a mafia world?
and acting was on top level, but,
plot regarding with Kinn-porshce couple was a bit messy. But can't point it out the matured relationship & the story understanding among the characters. I loved it.
plot with vegas-pete, that was the one i was emotionally attached with. The two broken souls, acting also was amazing. And ending for them was, loved it loved it.
kim-porchayβ ending was beautiful as a story review. but as a person I need more.
tay-timeβ i expected a breakup. lol
khunβ give him the crown, fav character was he.
and all the other castsβ just legendary.
the production was the best.
