Pit Babe (2023)

Dont look for logic !! Just watch with open mind !!

Man ..this has been a wild ride. I seriously thought this was well cast. Pavel as Babe literally lived the character and you could feel his inner feelings almost in every frame. I liked him as Forth in 2moons2..but here I just loveee him. The other cast members did their roles well with what screenspace given to them. I liked all the couples here..they all had chemistry and NC scenes werent cringey.

The main issue was the loophole filled plot, with halfassed execution of the script..not enough screenspace for the large cast and short running time. Either they could have gone with 10EP with longer running time or go for 15 EP..it felt rushed and incomplete towards the end. The fight sequences could have been better..editing was random at the best. For these kinda stories a tighter editing is half work done, along with some great action scenes and some solid car race sequences. Even if the script was fantasy/fanfic type it still could have been enjoyable if v know the characters in depth and get into the story more. Pavel's was the only fleshed out character along with Sailub's which sorta made sense and made them utilise their acting prowess.

Overall can watch if you wanna watch something new with a lot of great actors and specially for Pavel 🔥🔥❤️

Bonkers ass setup

My favourite part of Pit Babe were the characters. I love pairings that subvert stereotypes, so I was absolutely in love with Charlie, the sunshine puppydog character being the top and Babe, the badass cool racer being a bottom, truly a highlight of the show for me. Pavel is also an excellent crier which the show certainly took advantage of.

The side characters/pairings were also charming, none came across as especially annoying or bothersome, so it was fun to watch even when the focus shifted away from the main pair.

However, the plot unraveled a bit towards the end, and there were too many characters thrown in that kept running around which made the ending really messy. There was really no real reason, OR any true benefit to Charlie faking his death at the end, and he could have let the team know he was alive and well way earlier.

I don't really like A/B/O, but I would have loved if they truly committed to it on national TV but alas, I'll be campaigning for mpreg on S2 lol

I'll definitely come back to this show to rewatch everything before the fake death, the story up until that was really enjoyable!

Not Captivating Enough For Me

First couple episodes i was really interested I've wanted a motorsport/car racing series when I first started watching BL's and to get some glances at it in like LITA and others was cool but like I wanted one that dived into the racing scene and from the pilot trailer i thought that is what we were getting. Then the first episode aired. I got some racing and didn’t look at anything else then everyone was like omg an omega verse story and i was ok I would watch and see where this goes. Fast forward through to episode 6 and everything was good. Then I completely got bored, the racing scenes and the fighting scenes were meh...and i got tired of the smechx real fast LOL. Wished they limited down the racing scenes some more so that they had more time to explain all the trafficking and the A/B/O stuff or just write it better.

CharlieBabe - I can write an essay about how these two irritated me and I would be hated for it. These two did not have enough chemistry to try and keep me watching their scenes. Pavel did a amazing job, but Pooh acting reminds me of Dunk's in how they keep that one tone and be void of all emotions. Also, they annoyed me at the fact he was supposed to take over for Babe and was terrible at it. The miscommunication was the dumbest thing because like if you’re going to have them do this don’t have Babe forgive Charlie every single time and then have him forgave him instantly. Even in the final episode like wouldn't you be pissed if the person you cared about the most lied and faked their death where you had a grave and everything for him to see just show up as you were getting your ass kicked. That along with the mama papa thing that annoyed me.

AlanJeff – When Charlie and Babe weren't captivating enough these two were next on the chopping block, was confused the entire time because how did they go from oh don’t touch and talk to me to Alan showing up outside a random coffee shop with cards to apologize like they were in a Love Actually scene. I honestly can’t tell you anything that happened with these two. Nice scene in the final episode can’t remember anything else.

PeteWay - What could have been would but would never be. Arguably would have been the most powerful couple in the show but nah because Way redemption was death (would have been more impactful if all the spoilers didn’t exist). Like a person who can read minds and one who can controlled them POWERFUL duo. Also, Way was probably the most well written character, technically all the villains were well written, probably the only good thing the writers did.

NorthSonic - Listen they came and did their thing and I’m not mad at all. Wished they had more scenes, and they should have been together from the beginning. Also would not call them to rescue me at all.

KentaKim - A figment of all our imaginations. Also found it hilarious that Kim is the only professional driver in any of these teams as this guy came from Korea and had Charles Leclerc (Monegasque F1 driver) as his teammate which i found funny as hell. I love Charles but they could have gone for Alex Albon (Thai F1 driver). Also, Kim was locked up and hidden better than Jeff was, and this man had no special abilities at all.

WinnerDean -They would have been the most amazing villain teammates ever. All Winner wanted was to beat Babe, yet he had to settle for Charlie and Dean just wanted to drive for the team and he got shafted but guess who got to drive Charlie (LOL) my man just wanted to experience life as the lead driver till Babe recovered. He cut the brake line for the car, yet it flipped...be serious you can’t convince me that Jeff and Charlie didn't know that it was cut because something else would have had to happen for the car to flip ON GRASS. Yes, he touched the curb but still they have had to do something. Justice for Dean

You either like it or you don’t.

I honestly didn’t think I’d be finishing this series anytime soon, but here we are. As someone who was new to Thai bl when I started watching this, I had very mixed opinions. I wasn’t very intrigued by the plot at the time and I had so many other bls on my watchlist that I just completely stopped watching this all together after about 4-5 episodes.
I think it really depends on the person. The plot is a bit rough at first, but when I did eventually return to this series I became really invested into it. I did NOT expect to like this one, let alone binge the rest of the entire show within a couple of days. I must admit that I did not like this show at first cause I felt there wasn’t enough plot, but then the series picks up about midway through and gets good.
Does this have plot holes? Yes absolutely. But it’s super entertaining and keeps you on the edge of your seat nearer the end.
I won’t give anything away, but I actually cried like twice while watching this. No normal drama can make me cry! I can’t even remember the last time one did! I must give it to the amazing actors who did such a good job with portraying their characters and emotions. Like, this series isn’t even that sad, but the actors were just so emotional that I started getting emotional too lmao-

If you’re thinking about watching this I would go for it, but be warned because the first few episodes may be misleading since the series does get much more intense and interesting as it goes on. I know there are a lot of negative reviews on here, but I actually did really enjoy this in the end, despite the rocky start :)

"Pit Babe the Series": A Captivating Journey Through Love and Betrayal, Led by a Brilliant Cast

Story :
"Pit Babe the Series," is a whirlwind of emotions, complex characters, and tangled relationships that keeps me on the edge of my seats.

Acting/Cast :
Starting with the character of Babe, portrayed brilliantly by Pavel, this series takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of his life. Pavel's portrayal is nuanced, capturing Babe's savage yet charismatic persona perfectly. Despite his cold demeanor, Babe's depth and vulnerability are slowly unraveled, making him an irresistibly compelling character. Particularly noteworthy are the scenes where Babe is brought to tears, showcasing Pavel's exceptional acting skills. These moments are deeply moving, demonstrating a profound level of emotional depth that adds layers to Babe's character. Pavel truly excels in these instances, pulling the audience into Babe's world and making his struggles and pain palpably felt.

Charlie, played by Pooh, is the epitome of cuteness, combining innocence with a mysterious edge that leaves you questioning his motives. His interactions, particularly when wronged, tug at the heartstrings, showcasing Pooh's ability to balance charm and complexity with ease. The chemistry between Charlie and Babe is electric, their contrasting personalities clashing and melding in a dance of emotions that is both adorable and intense. Moreover, the fighting and naughty scenes between them are portrayed with a remarkable level of authenticity and intensity. These moments are well acted, adding a dynamic and exciting edge to their relationship. Pooh and Pavel skillfully navigate these scenes, maintaining a perfect balance between aggression and affection, which serves to deepen the complexity and appeal of their characters' connection.

The subplot involving the duo of Sailub and Pon as Alan and Jeff adds another layer of depth to the series. Their relationship, filled with subtle gestures and unspoken feelings, is beautifully portrayed, capturing the essence of their connection. The dynamic between these characters adds a rich layer of intrigue and emotion to the series, making every scene they share a highlight. The support leads, North and Sonic, add a delightful touch to the series, their friendship providing moments of levity and depth.

Overall :
However, the series is not without its flaws. The storyline involving Way, Pete, and the unresolved themes of human trafficking and the mysterious Alpha concept leaves the audience craving more clarity. The conclusion of the series feels somewhat rushed and unfinished, with certain plotlines dangling and character arcs left incomplete. The climax, in particular, seems jumbled and confusing, detracting from the overall impact of the narrative. The problem for me is that when a series gets off to a good start, I get greedy and my expectations grow, expecting a complete and satisfying conclusion. Alas, I didn't have that with this series. The initial promise and the build-up raised my hopes for a well-rounded finale, but the end left me wanting, highlighting the challenge of maintaining momentum and fulfilling my heightened expectations.

It's impossible not to commend the exceptional casting. This ensemble of young actors is not just visually stunning but also immensely talented, each bringing their unique flair to their roles. From the leads to the supporting cast, everyone involved has contributed to the series' magnetic allure. Their performances go beyond mere portrayal, embodying their characters with such conviction and depth that it elevates the entire viewing experience. This fantastic group of actors has indeed nailed their roles, making "Pit Babe the Series" a standout in the BL genre. Their collective presence on screen is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it's clear that they share a chemistry that transcends their performances, hinting at a promising future for each of them in the industry.

In light of the remarkable talent displayed by the cast of "Pit Babe the Series," it's only fitting to extend heartfelt wishes for their future endeavors. The dedication, skill, and sheer presence these young actors have brought to the screen speak volumes of their potential for even greater achievements in their careers. As they move forward, may they find themselves embarking on a multitude of projects that challenge, inspire, and further showcase their versatile talents. The industry is indeed brighter with their contributions, and it's with eager anticipation that I look forward to witnessing the continued evolution of their craft. Good luck to the entire cast of "Pit Babe the Series" – here's to many more projects that allow them to shine even brighter.

Will enjoy the twists if not for the spoilers

Must mention, the spoilers on this show ruined the experience for me . But had i not known the spoilers open every where on social media i would have definetly been mind blown by the twists this series had. Not one not 2 but many.

Loved the new ans fresh pair babe amd charlie. Charlie is the cutest character i have ever seen any BL. Lie he topped the list of cuteness his silly smile really melted me and ofcourse Babe's hotness is worth mentioning.
What i found really unique about this series is how Babe was so weak for charlie and the storyline got really interesting at times by theintroduction of new plotline.

I felt like i entered expecting someone but later discovered this was something else. The NC scenes must mention were hot the couples stole the show and all the characters were bearable.
Few episodes kinda felt dragged out towards the end but overall it ia a good series and Pavels acting was outstanding throughout loved watching Charlie too. The other couple story line developed a little late but loved their plot too

This is defenitly a series i would re watch only for Babe and charlie's interactions the rest is completely skippable.

Lo complicado de llevar el trope omegaverse a las series

Uy.
Hablemos de Pitbabe The Series. Primero que nada, viendo desde la perspectiva de una gran mayoría, entiendo que les parezca "la mejor serie del año" y mucho más por la película que sacaron hace un mes (es un resumen de la serie pero con escenas eliminadas), las NC scenes le subió el hype un montón.
No creo realmente que nos hayan "robado". En realidad hasta sentí un poco vacía la serie por la falta de explicación ya que mucha gente no sabe que es el omegaverse, nunca se entendía qué era tal personaje secundario pero importante para la serie, la historia detrás de los personajes principales hasta del villano de la serie... Vos te quedabas a ver por ver nomás sin saber nada, "seguro pasando los capítulos saldrá algo", salieron alguna que otra cosa pero tampoco se entendió por qué Tony empezó a hacer tráficante de humanos "especiales", cómo es que Tony simplemente sabe que los niños que "cria" son alfa, enigma, omega o betta?, cómo es que way y babe se conocieron como para que hasta antes de eso way ya haya tenido una obsesión con babe, obvio por culpa de Tony pero cómo, simplemente lo mandó a buscar sabiendo cada paso y respiración que daba babe? Me pareció un poco ridículo Tony porque literal, si ya hasta mandó a way y sabía que tenía que hacer por qué nunca se salió con la suya??? Tony encerio es un villano mal escrito. También te quedas pensado mucho en qué pasa con charlie y Jeff, cómo es que simplemente se sacó la conclusión de que Jeff es omega o enigma si nunca dijo nada, no se presentó ?? Se quedan encerio muchas cosas vacías hasta una de las cosas importantes que según recuerde del omegaverse... Cómo también no reconocen entre ellos quien es alfa, enigma o omega si con Alan te das cuenta de que obvio que reconocen, pero babe se sorprende demasiado con que pete sea enigma o que directo en la primera escena de la serie, le pregunte a charlie qué es cuando Alan desde al segundo de conocer a jeff te das cuenta de que ya sabe que es?
Pitbabe me pareció una buena serie, me gustó mientras pasaba los capítulos pero tardó un tiempo en convencerme, más por lo del omegaverse porque encerio me dejó mucho vacío. Supongo que fue para agregar más escenas NC a la serie, que sentí que no hacía falta tantas escenas así, un ejemplo de ello es la historia de Alan y jeff, ya que ni hablar de charlie y babe y sus intimaciones profundas. El omegaverse como tema es un poco muy cargoso porque se tiene que explicar todo desde cero, ya que no hay mucha inmersión en este tipo de conceptos y para adaptarlos a una serie se puede poner difícil la situación, más por como realmente se tienen que seguir x reglas de ello para que se entienda bien y Pitbabe no es el mejor ejemplo, ya que con dije, se quedó mucho vacío. Primero porque en ese universo la gente ya nace con su don pero ¿La mayoría no sabe? y nunca termina por hacer crecer su don pensando que son "alfas" o otro tipo de personaje "normal" en ese mundo y solamente tony hacia que los niños traten de entrenar esos dones por lo que es la unica forma en la que se dan cuenta, al parecer, asi que ahí fue donde ya medio cayó mal la historia de pitbabe the series. Te das cuenta de eso cuando por ejemplo, Jeff está teniendo una premonición por lo de su don de ver el futuro y Alan simplemente se queda ahí preguntando que le pasa y por qué, si literal debería de saber ya que él es parte de ese universo donde casi todos nacen con dones y deberían de reconocer eso igual si no lo entrenan pero Alan solo queda ahí sin saber que le pasa a Jeff.
Tampoco entendí por qué Tony tiene tanta obsesión con charlie si literal este nunca le mostró su don, lo hizo sentir inútil y todo por eso pero nunca nos mostraron una razón real como para que él quiera quedarse SI O SI con charlie ya que prácticamente no le servía ni para venderlo o como para entrenarlo, porque no mostraba lo que tenía y él no lo sabía, lo de Jeff se enteró casi a finales de capítulos y todo. Te voy a hasta entender que entre los capítulos finales recién tenga esa obsesión con charlie de regresar "a casa" porque ahí también es donde se entera por way de que charlie si tiene poderes y es uno de los alfas más especiales de ese universo, pero este ya venia con la obsesión desde que comenzó la serie.
Es encerio muy complicado todo lo que es el omegaverse para integrarlo en una serie y esta serie dejó tanto afuera que ojalá expliquen un poco de trasfondo en pitbabe 2 para así completar bien la historia y tener trama que seguir para una serie que a mi parecer no le veía segunda temporada, pero como va a tener y está confirmado, por favor que el detalle se vaya mas para la historia y no solo pars las escenas NC.
Bueno. Hablemos de los protas y demás porque me pasé hablando de como el omegaverse es un trope complicado de llevar y de como tony es una mierda. Así que veamos.
Pitbabe. Hay que destacar un montón el gran trabajo que hizo Pavel para realizar a babe en esta serie, las expresiones, emociones, diálogos y todo lo hizo de manera correcta haciéndote sentir al personaje. Me encantó personalmente como este adaptaba de la mejor manera la relación que tenía con Charlie desde el momento cero y como iba cambiando de a poco con respecto a eso. Dirigiendome más a lo explosivo que era babe para todo y todos, ya que bueno babe obviamente no era el personaje mas estable mentalmente de todos, ese título es para alan chicos, claro que te das cuenta de eso pero es obvio la costumbre que pitbabe ya le tiene a sus situaciones de vida y trata de mantenerse con calma pero de todo le pasa lo que hace que explote, pero imagina, que aparezca alguien que lo saque de costumbre. Desde Charlie, ahi ya se va notando como babe empezaba a cambiar y a explotar mas por no querer dejar pasar ls situación cada vez más profunda con Charlie, por no entender que hay alguien que puede leerle y puede has comoarsisquedarse encerio con él. Me encantó como hizo todo, como te hace ver los cambios y las emociones que siente por todo lo que sucede con charlie, te hace sentir que estás también dentro de la cabeza del personaje y sinceramente Pavel es un gran actor, lo adoré.
Charlie. Siento que muchas personas piensan lo mismo de Charlie y de quién realizó el personaje, Pooh. Pero luego de leer varios reviews de Pitbabe the series me decepcioné por como hablaban hasta del actor y no solo del personaje. Primero que nada, no es necesario que un alfa sea la cosa más gigante del mundo, no tiene que ser un físico culturista y no tiene que tener una personalidad horriblemente dominante y fría para que decidan que es un alfa, ya que el "alfa" en el omegaverse suele tener más como característica principal la dominancia y el olor fuerte de sus feromonas que otra cosa, porque estos pueden llegar a ser grandes en otros aspectos no solo en lo físico, que siempre los dibujen de tal manera es solo el estándar de si es fuerte y escucha así es porque tiene que verse también así pero como dije, no es necesario hacer eso. Aunque en la novela charlie si sea el típico alfa que siempre describen, de igual forma sigue sin ser el típico típico alfa porque dentro de la novela el no es la gran cosa, porque tiene la actitud que todos vimos en la serie pero más tonto y menos cute, el tema es que a las personas no es que no les gusta charlie el personaje DE LA SERIE y como lo actuó Pooh, sino que no les gusta que Pooh no sea el tipo por quien babear por el cuerpo que tenga y es bastante decepcionante. Es obvio que iban a cambiar cosas de la novela pero no iban a ser cambios gigantes, sino que cosas que compensen a esos pequeños cambios, como lo es justamente Pooh siendo Charlie en la serie, porque lo que quisieron hacer es vender a un Charlie alfa visto como "débil" por verse pequeño por ser delgado, tierno y distraído con las cosas, cambiando al Charlie enorme pero tarado y pienso que fue un buen trabajo ese cambio para no hacerlo parecer lo que es, alguien que sabe lo que hace y que es dominante. Claro que pienso que la actuación de Pooh fue un poco pobre porque no entendías nada hacerca de sus expresiones o lo que te quería hacer sentir, no entrabas en su cabeza como con babe y fue algo estresante no lograr captar bien la situación por la mala expresión, es su primer trabajo igual y quizá de igual forma se hubiera preparado mejor para escenas donde se requiera demasiada emoción porque Pitbabe the series está cargada de emociones que se tienen que expresar con todo el cuerpo y si tu rostro no ayuda, no se va a entender. Algo que me gustó de Charlie es que en las escenas NC si tenía un aura completamente diferente, así que por eso terminaban siendo muy atractivas esas escenas, también me gustó que Pooh sea quien represente a Charlie, ya que encerio hace parecer lo que no es y después simplemente te sorprende que si tenga buenas características para representar a un alfa aunque "no parezca" uno, es delgado pero con musculatura marcada, grandes hombros y se nota que disfruta mucho ser Charlie, igusl Pooh, mejora tu actuación para Pitbabe 2.
Alan. Mi personajes favorito literal. Me encantó bastante como saylub hizo su trabajo siendo Alan y encerio me gustó toda su presencia, demostración de emociones, sus expresiones, como me llamó la atención desde el principio y su dualidad al estar con Jeff, siento que fue uno de los personajes que más me han gustado por mostrar muy bien la personalidad que tiene y como no solo se basa en ser "aburrido" por ser alguien maduro sino que muestra diferentes facetas por no tener conocimiento de todo y tratar de trabajar en eso principalmente para enamorar a Jeff quien es obvio que cayó desde que se conocieron ys que cómo dije, pudieron reconocer la conexión que iban a tener pero calro que hay que enamorar a uno primero para aceptarlo. Fue súper lindo y pienso que saylub se parece mucho a su personaje.
Way. Amigos, encerio, por qué coño alguien iba a querer que babe se haya quedado con way? Mas mal de la cabeza la gente. Cómo te explico que él es quien además de tener una obsesión manipulada y voluntaria a la vez con babe es quien estuvo con la mente distorsionada durante diez años para devolver a babe con tony y así el ganara dinero con los hijos que way y babe tenga, lo manipuló de 50 formas durante no sé, TODO EL TIEMPO impidiendo que tenga algo con otra persona, haciendo que termine las cosas rápido con otros alfas y haciendo que siempre se quede solo porque la frase que siempre usa para manipularlo con sus dones es "no confíes en nadie, no ames a nadie, la soledad es mucho mejor" ahh pero que babe se enamore de way tiene que ser natural verdad? Super ridículo. Claro que way quiere a babe realmente en el fondo, pero con esa mentalidad tan distorsionada obvio que iba a ser una de las peores cosas que le pasó a babe, hasta un punto en donde babe se da cuenta pero no quiere creerlo ni él mismo. Pienso que supanut hizo un gran trabajo, porque me hizo sentir esa traición y satisfacción a la vez porque desde un principio sabía que él no era la cosa más buena del mundo pero luego está la gente a la que no le entra el personaje bien y dice pelotudeces como "ojalá se hubiera quedado con babe" supongo que tenemos sentido común verdad? Pero bueno, hizo un gran trabajo igual si la gente está loca.
En fin, sigo pensando que la serie aún tiene huecos y ojalá en pitbabe dos rellenen esos huecos, en especial con kenta quien encerio encerio adoré a kenta en todo sentido por ser uno de los personajes más llenos de los cuales quiero saber un montón. No me dejen con la duda sobre kenta.
Me gustó la serie y aunque le de una calificación de tres y media estrellas, es por como no hubo un buen balance para llevar el trope del omegaverse y como se perdieron en los detalles, lo que hizo que tarde en gustarme y convencerme.

it's an okay watch

to be honest I really like this dramas characters but I feel like all the characters were in the end made to be good. They rushed in the story a lot didn't explain anything clearly to be fair they didn't even talk about the alpha and enigma storyline and how and why the people who have the special senses have the senses .... there was a lot of chemistry between( I feel like ) all the characters...
a lot ships could be made from the drama
I don't understand how they just suddenly get a happy ending like the characters the main characters got their happy ending but what happened to the children after the death of Tony is still unclear.. what happened to Kenta is unclear...
what was the reaction of the people from the outside world when the news was flash is not shown. like it would be a very big thing if someone as influential as Tony who as always been an Angel and "world most wanted husband" is proven to be an evil person who had so many bad things done to children's and had human trafficking and stuff like that going on behind the scenes like nothing was shown in the end
main characters romantic scenes and cute scenes for shown which I did like but I would want a little more knowledge about what happened afterwards.....
I do understand the that the characters just went back to their normal life and Kim got into the x hunter side and they continued there racing life but I would have like to know little bit more context about the stuff that was introduced into the story and I would have always liked the ending to have more explanation of what happened to the people and kids after the death of Tony
there are lot of plotholes in the story and at times the conflicts were very repetitive I am not talking about the reason but I'm talking about the way it the conflicts ressolved was always the same way

and bro what I hated ... I hated was the way they treated death ... at first Charlie dies even though fake death like the only one who was sad was babe babe only everyone was sad when they went to the graveyard and stuff but that's the only time they were sad that I think I was more sad than them because I was sad throughout the whole episode and they were sad for a few minutes and done I understand that babes don't only one who will be depressed because the person he loved died but everyone else also like Charlie so why were they as sad as babe or at least half as sad as babe I don't understand but then comes the real death of way not fake REAL death bruh I was so shocked so sad I thought maybe is not dead you know I don't understand how but again they was sad I'm not saying they were in sad they were sad only when they were putting flowers on the graveyard ... Babe and surely were walking out of the graveyard and they were talking about some random shit about eating food of Something like that bro your best friend of 10 years died and that's your reaction that's how sad you are uff

the fake death scene I know that they did it for a reason but what was the reason bro like you really thought that a fake death would make everything better it doesn't make sense and in the end how they was like very forgiving of Charlie for doing a fake death scene and not telling anyone about it like wth he just accepted him that second he saw Charlie no questions asked done ( I know that babe asked why did you do it and stuff but still)


this is something I am still mad about but Jeff can see the future and j knew that WAY would die but he kept quite about it like really
EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY ENDING BUT WAY and that makes me very sad
I did love Alan and jeff
pit and babe
the acting of the actors in this drama was phenomenal I love it....
I just hope that the actors could get a better story in which everything is explained and even if the episodes are bit longer it would be okay but the context should be given like I still don't understand what they really meant by Alpha and enigma I had to research about it after I finished the drama to understand it so yeah
I hope they improve their writing but I really would be okay with recommending this drama

A series that lacks finesse

It starts with stories about rally cars. There are big cars, espionage and mysteries. In short, it gets off to a pretty good start.

But all of a sudden, this omegaverse story takes over. First of all, not everyone is familiar with it. Some explanation would have been appreciated. The problem is that the story becomes chaotic: there's a permanent lack of coherence, the dialogue is poor and our car races come and go without us really understanding how. Theoretically, there are a lot of theatrical coups, but they're so predictable that they're not. The last episode is absolutely grotesque.

The acting gets worse and worse as the series scatters off in all directions.

The innumerable sex scenes and permanent good morals are not enough to save this series.

This story is a mess, but well acted.

There are definitely spoilers below.

These are my initial thoughts immediately after watching. I really wanted to like this, and by all rights I should have. The car and racing theme along with BL is right up my alley and an area of life I am familiar with. However for me it was one of those series you watch jut to finish, rather than keeping my undivided interest. It wasn't great, nor terrible, but something in-between. Normally if I like something, I can finish a series like this in 3-4 days. This series dragged on for a couple weeks, and I was even home sick for a couple of those days.

This story is a mess of themes, none of which seem to be explored in very much depth, nor are some of them explained how or why. There is BL, supernatural powers, action, child trafficking, racing, mystery, sex encounters, and more. The supernatural powers bit is quite odd, they only use or mention them a couple times throughout the series, but apparently those powers make Babe a winning racer? And Tony the child trafficker somehow finds and sells these special children somehow? And Tony never is suspected of selling all these adopted children? There isn't a child welfare system in Thailand to know where these kids are? Then there was some mention of experimental drugs or something helping these powers?

The actors were great, they brought this 3.0 story up to something watchable. This was the first major production for some of these actors, and you really couldn't tell. They must have had some good coaching and lots of practice, besides being good actors. I hope to see them in future series.

The characters, in my opinion, were all very one-dimensional or maybe said another way they didn't have much depth. Either way, some of the characters were just there more so then they added to the storyline. North and Sonic were a good example of this, they were apparently amateur racers, but they never raced even once. Dean was sort of the same, there but didn't add much to the story. His character could have been eliminated and the plot point done a different way.

There were weird things like Alan supposedly being so much older than Jeff, when they are only two years apart in real life. The "kid" and "uncle" thing was a bit cringe. You could tell that they were both about the same age. And how about Way having supernatural powers and nobody including his only and close friend Babe knew that fact for years upon years? Add that to the pile of odd things in this series. Also, I know this is BL series, but never in my life have I seen so many gay guys and gay couples in car racing and especially not on one team. Not trying to come across as bigoted here, quite the opposite, I am gay myself. I am not saying it couldn't happen, but it sure isn't realistic from my life experiences. Of course if that idea was deleted then we wouldn't have a BL series like this.

I am not sure what would have helped this series, but maybe cutting it down a couple characters would be a good start. Maybe shorten it by a couple episodes. There are so many series that need the extra time, but this feels like it drags. I think they also need to focus on a couple of main themes instead of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.
