Should you watch? I'd say yes; it is excellent for Thai BL standards.

After watching KinnPorsche twice, I think this BL is a pretty good watch overall. I've seen a lot of critical reviews on here, mainly because of the lacking storyline/plot and the disappointment in the quality after the years of hype that it's gotten based on the trailer. It's understandable that people feel "let down", however, I do feel that this series is better over worse.
A common critique that I saw was that the relationships were toxic. In reality, though, this is about the mafia. Mafias are very real and they aren't pretty, so you can't expect the romances to be perfect and healthy. You can see the psychological struggles of the characters, you can see how the actors portray their pain. Especially with Vegas/Pete, it really shows it.

What I liked:
- It's clear that the creators and actors have put a lot of time and effort into making this. The production and cinematography is exquisite; the lighting, angles/shots, filming locations - everything about it feels like it's done right. The music is also fitting (generally better than most Thai BL, but of course, they had to throw in some goofy BGM) and the OST's are beautifully done.
- The acting. The chemistry. It's really good, they definitely chose the right people for the main roles. For quite a few actors this series was their debut and I must say, they did an amazing job.
- The series is definitely more serious, but it's also funny and a bit cheesy. It makes it easy and fun to watch, it's engaging, it's easy to rewatch. I did enjoy the steamy scenes, although it's not for everyone, I thought they were nice.

What I didn't like:
- I think everyone can agree that the storyline was lacking and had holes in it. It felt like some episodes and scenes were just filler due to a lack of ideas. My guess is that it's because the series was adapted from a novel that wasn't the most complex or interesting. The plot twist was a good one, but I feel like more could've been done with it. I've heard rumors of a season two due to the lowkey open-ending, but I'm just not sure if they'd have enough material to work with. To be completely fair though, I've only read part of the web-novel, not the entire thing.
- The series wasn't that deep. As stated above, more could've been done. It could've been more meaningful and realistic, but I'm not going to say that it was bad because it was very good and entertaining.

So yes, you should give it a shot!
