KinnPorsche: Love, Crime, Mafia Conflicts, and Emerging Secrets

KinnPorsche (2022) Thai BL Series is among the productions adapted from a novel. The drama will offer you a love story combined with crime and mafia conflicts. Actually, the mafia is the excuse for the business; our subject is love. If you are bored with the university and youth series that form the foundation of the BL industry, this modern classic is exactly for you.

Are you looking for crime, loyalty, and passion? You are in the right series. Although the year 2022 might seem like a bit of the past to you, it is one of the first productions that comes to mind when “Thai BL” is mentioned. It is also one of the first productions to be watched for the novice viewer who has just discovered the Boys’ Love genre. Of course, the influence of “MileApo” fans also plays a part in the series being popular. I always prefer to stay away from popular productions. But the series offers a high-quality viewing experience with the lead chemistry, quite daring scenes, and bittersweet romance.

The series is about the relationship between Kinn, the heir of a mafia family, and Porsche, who saves his life by coincidence. The plot is a bit cliché, I admit this. Porsche, initially just a bartender, becomes Kinn’s personal bodyguard. Over time, the bond between them strengthens, and this relationship turns into a dangerous, dark, yet equally passionate gay love story.

To say it again: The series, considered a turning point among Thai BL productions, etched its name among cult series with the “MileApo” partnership and the impact of the duo’s chemistry and character conflicts. Indeed, this is an incredible performance. A BL that is watched even today. You can also watch the performance of the “MileApo” duo in the 2025 production Shine series.

KinnPorsche (2022) Plot and Synopsis

While living a modest life with his brother and uncle, Porsche makes a living by bartending at a club. They often get into trouble due to his uncle’s debt to loan sharks. (I am sick and tired of this theme by now. BL producers and scriptwriters should leave the loan shark and debt themes behind.) Amidst this chaos, his path crosses one night with Kinn, who is fleeing a mafia conflict in the bar. Porsche saves him, and following the events, he catches Kinn’s attention.

Kinn is the heir to a powerful mafia family named Theerapanyakul. Impressed by Porsche’s courage, Kinn wants to hire him as his personal bodyguard. Porsche, who hesitates at first, accepts this offer to protect his family. Within the ruthless structure of the mafia world, he receives training, meets family members, and especially has to deal with the spoiled brother Tankhun.

Over time, the relationship between Kinn and Porsche crosses professional boundaries. A passionate bond develops between them. However, this love will be tested by enemies within the mafia and mysterious secrets. Porsche’s past and why he is so important to Kinn also turns into a riddle.

Amidst family and power struggles, as Porsche sees Kinn’s fragile and strong sides, he also learns that he has a different personality from this mafia family. The amazing chemistry between them is somewhat in the flavor of ‘enemies to lovers.’ The emotional tension between them continues constantly. Again, Kinn’s position within the family, his conflicts with his uncles, and dealing with his nonsensical brother also develop his bonds with Porsche.

As I will write below in the finale. There is a very simple kinship and family drama. Without going into too much detail, we can say that although the chemistry and balance between the duo are very good, the finale and the mafia theme will end with an inadequate conclusion. However, Kinn is the one who wins the family war. The duo also wins in love.

Series Review / Comments

KinnPorsche has an unusual chemistry among Thai BL series. The duo balancing each other in the series is very good. Actually, I can say it is the character chemistry that makes the series still watchable despite the years that have passed. However, even if the mafia theme remains superficial at times, the action and emotional tension in this production, where crime and love intertwine, are at an average level.

As is known, Thai BL series mostly cannot go beyond offering superficial stories for the fans. Especially the strong chemistry of the leads and the tension in the scenes are the successful aspects of the series. Kinn’s harshness and Porsche’s rebellious nature will give you what you want. KinnPorsche will offer you passion, tension, and a full romance.

KinnPorsche should definitely be the first choice for those looking for something different from classic BL series with fantasy or school themes. As the series progresses, it arouses curiosity as to how character development and mafia intrigues will deepen. However, sometimes the fiction can become simplistic. The biggest mystery for the audience will be revealed in the final episodes of the series. The audience will also learn about the familiar blood ties, secret family member themes, and the secret of Porsche’s father.

You will also learn about Porsche’s connection with Kinn’s family in the final episodes. But this connection felt very simple and coincidental to me. This theme can truly cause you a bit of disappointment for such an ambitious BL.

In mafia-themed BL series, the content is generally weak. Even though the mafia theme does not fit well here either, the audience will love the romance and the tension between the duo. You will say, “The mafia theme is an excuse; the duo is fantastic.” Again, relative relationships and coincidences can be called the second weak aspect of the series.

Is the Series Worth Watching?

Yes, both the crime theme and the incredible harmony of the lead actors have placed the series among the most beloved and first-to-be-watched BL series. It has become a cult series now. It has also entered the must-watch list for beginners.

The series might get repetitive, but this is a story where betrayal, trust, family, and passions are intertwined. The series continues not only as a romantic love but also in a subtext where identity, devotion, and courage are questioned. Again, there is senseless violence and mafia scenes in the series. While watching the mafia reckonings in the series, these reckonings felt disconnected and aimless, as if scenes were just added in between. There were scenes and episodes where I frankly couldn’t understand what they were doing.

KinnPorsche Series Details

While surviving an attack, mafia heir Kinn escapes the scene with the help of bartender Porsche. Porsche enters the mafia world as Kinn’s bodyguard, and the relationship between them turns into love. The BL series, which continues with intra-family conflicts, Porsche’s past, and Kinn’s leadership battle, is a 2022 Thai 🇹🇭 production. The series, whose number of episodes is 14, is 1 season. Where to watch the novel adaptation drama written by Daemi? Even though it is watched on iQIYI. I cannot provide guidance other than this. For more trashy information and if you want to fall into the fight of the fans, more info: is on the MyDramaList site. Additional Info: We can consider the series as the second ascension phase of Thai BL productions, perhaps after the SOTUS series.
