Pit Babe

Heard there will be a second season of this, so before I watch that, let’s dive into this 1st season…

Story about Babe, race car driver who change s*x partner likes changing clothes. Haha… One day comes Charlie, who wants to be a racecar driver but he doesn't have a racecar of his own. So Charlie come to Babe to borrow his car in exchange for s*x. Amused by how brave Charlie is, Babe accept the offer & they officially become s*x partner.

The deeper in the series we also learn that this is not only about racing cars. But also about kids / people with special abilities. Babe has this special ability, his hearing is more sensitive than other people. Babe had a foster father, Tony Chen, Tony had collected & trained all special kids for a long time & all those kids called him dad. Babe at first feels grateful for Tony, to give him shelter, food & all the love & care. But later on Babe learned Tony is the reason his real father abandoned him & Tony also exploited Babe special ability for Tony's own gain, that pissed Babe, so he ran away from Tony grab.

But Tony did not just stay still. After so many years (they don’t tell us how many years) Babe ran away from Tony’s house. Now Tony finally decided to chase after Babe. Tony enters the race car business by investing in Babe’s no 1 competitor & trying every means to make Babe return to him, even with dirty tricks. How will Babe & all his friends fight against Tony & all nasty things he did…?

That’s pretty much the story, without giving away all important spoilers… Unfortunately this drama has too many stupid plot holes that sometimes just makes me laugh while watching…. Nothing much about what I like.

What I like:
+ Pavel Naret Promphaopun as Babe.
+ S Vorarit Vaijairanai as Tony Chen
+ The cute second couple Alan & Jeff. Although their story is also stupid. But I quite like their story.
+ The dirty business behind sport & the ambitious people that will do anything for the trophy or the change, like Winner & Dean
+ Kim, he’s one sportive man that acknowledges Babe as his rival.

What I don’t like:
- How combustible Babe. He really doesn't like to hear any excuses from people.
- Pooh Krittin Kitjaruwannakul as Charlie. I don’t know it just feel Charlie is so stupid. They want to give the impression that Charlie is a naive man, but I don’t get that vibe from Pooh himself.
- The story of Alan & Jeff. It is just like Alan falling in love with Jeff out of nowhere, it feels like that’s the script so they just go on with the plan.
- Seeing so d*mn many special people around Babe, until it just felt stupid.
- Everyone feels intimidated by Babe's ability.
- They don’t really explain to us the level of the special kids are… Like Babe special Alfa, Pete as Enigma. What the hell is Enigma…?

Below I'll write a little bit about the stupid plot hole that I notice. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

The plot holes:
- Tony’s house is filled with many kids with special abilities that Tony considers important & precious, yet the security really makes me laugh. It is like every person that is being held captive so easy to walk away from that property…. Like how Babe ran away from home, in the flashback we also see how Pete also just ran away or how Jeff ran away later on. See… that’s so easy…
- People so stupid yet so lucky. Several times what Sonic & North did is just plainly stupid, but they are important characters, so the writer decided to save them just at the last second.

Overwhelming emotions with steaming heat, just the 'perfect match' ?

PitBabe was a turbulent ride with all the heat, fun, tears, and overwhelming emotions; it definitely wasn't a regret. The cast did an amazing job, as if they were made for the roles. Everything was portrayed just the way it should have been. Plus, I loved the omegaverse theme. I never read the novel, so everything was fresh to me. I loved how all 12 leads were tied up by the end. However, there are certain things that I think could have been shown.

1. The last episode shouldn't have been the final one. I believe the entire climax of defeating Tony should have been a bit longer, at least one more episode. Babe, Charlie, and the others, along with Uncle Reval, should have plotted something, where Kenta could have the final word. Then they could have followed with the entire death scene.

2. Way's death was not well-written. I understand that Way died in the novel, so they decided to kill him in the series too. But there are things that should have been paid attention to. Way was an Enigma, the highest tier in the omegaverse, and a single bullet was enough to kill him. The entire time the boys were holding him and crying, he could have been taken to the hospital, or at least the attempt should have been made. His death turned out to be just an unnecessarily stretched scene.

3. Babe should have confronted Charlie. Even though Babe might forgive Charlie later, there should have been some conversation about Charlie's fake death. Charlie should have been given a chance to make up to Babe for all the tears the latter cried. The entire plan, along with Jeff's foreseeing the future, should have been discussed. Everything was very rushed.

4. A closure to Uncle Reval's project. They just completely left off his entire mission of looking for a chemical to cancel out the special senses. Even if not a success, some progress should have been shown. Plus, does Babe even know what his dad has been up to all these years?

5. What happens to Kenta and the other kids of the foundation? Probably this could be covered in case they decide to come up with another season.

There are a few more tidbits here and there, but these are the ones that bothered me the most. As a whole, PitBabe is a pretty great watch, definitely worth your time.

P.S., It's a bit of my guilty pleasure, but I wanted some scenes from Alan's racing era, the time before he built X-Hunter.

Give Pavel everything he wants in life, he deserves it all

This is my favorite Thai BL of all time, and Pavel is my favorite Thai BL actor, I love Pooh too but Pavel has range, he can go from playing bad boy Fourth with a heart of gold in 2 Moons 2, sensitive cutie pie Pleng in Coffee Melody, to breaking our hearts as Babe in Pit Babe. I don't know what awards are giving but he needs them all.

First off, Omegaverse is not for everyone, however, it's definitely for me, I love the concept and I like that they made a series about it, now just like anything else, this could've ended up bad but it was so good. I look forward to every episode even though some broke me more than others (Episode 10), that's the point of a good show. If a series can bring out so many emotions within one episode, and make you feel like you know the characters personally and the pain they are going through, I think that is a good show.

I also love anything with racing in it and a good plot with just the right amount of drama and good spicy scenes, this show has it all for me. The drama in this show is so good, it's not over the top, and it's not underwhelming, it keeps you on the edge of your seat while not dragging anything out.

The spicy scenes are perfect, with both couples, you can tell they love each other, Is Babe usually worried about himself and doesn't give Charlie ALL his attention? Yes, but he loves Charlie with his whole heart and you can tell in Episode 10.

In conclusion, Pavel needs more roles as the main in 2024 and beyond

Rouler des mécaniques… Mmh, presque !

Les débuts ont étés difficiles pour moi. Rien ne me poussait à continuer, sauf la petite intuition. Certes, Pavel et Garfield sont deux bonnes motivations. Cependant, aussi cool que soit Pavel et aussi charmant que soit Garfield, leurs beaux yeux ne pouvaient pas me faire tenir 13 épisodes à eux deux.

Pour moi, Pit Babe est scindée en deux parties. La première se concentre sur la course automobile et les personnages. Néanmoins, cette partie est trop lisse et propre. C'est vrai, les écuries professionnelles sont d'une qualité irréprochable (il suffit de regarder une course F1 pour s'en rendre compte), cependant, j'en attendais un peu plus, notamment lorsqu'ils ont, littéralement, la tête dans le moteur. Ça manque de cambouis, tout simplement ! De même pour les courses auxquelles on sent les limites du budget. Il n'y a pas de spectateurs, pas de foules ou d'acclamations. C'est vide. Pour cette raison, j'ai tendance à penser que cette partie avait pour but de placer les personnages, le côté cool en cadeau.

La seconde partie nous sort la tête du garage, et c'est sur celle-ci que j'ai trouvé un intérêt à l'histoire. Si les personnages sont là depuis le début, avec quelques brides d'informations ici et là, ils n'ont pas apporté grand-chose jusqu'à maintenant. Certains peuvent même passer pour des figurants, tandis que d'autres vont et viennent. Cela dit, cette seconde partie va enfin leur apporter la matière suffisante pour faire tourner le moteur avec son lot d'action et un bon bagage émotionnel. Certes, c'est parfois tiré par les cheveux avec des plans foireux dans lesquels les gentils sont stupides, mais ça reste rythmé et entraînant. Cette seconde partie est un très bon mélange d'action, de romance et d'émotion (sentimentale, amicale et fraternelle).

Le casting est bon. Le jeu de Pavel (Babe) s'est clairement amélioré depuis 2 Moons et son charme n'a fait que s'accentuer de la meilleure des façons. Pooh (Charlie) m'a souvent donné l'impression de surjouer (en plus d'avoir l'air psycho avec son regard et son sourire), je ne suis pas fan de l'acteur ici et le personnage de Charlie n'est pas sensationnel pour moi. Le jeu de Nut (Way) s'est considérablement développé et affiné depuis Oxygen. Sailub (Alan) et Pon (Jeff) sont également sympathiques, tandis que j'ai adoré détester Pop (Winner) et S (Tony).

En revanche, je regrette de voir Ping (Pete) et Garfield (Kenta) être délaissés de la sorte… Et la frustration qui me ronge vis-à-vis d'eux est folle… Je veux dire, rien de plus ? Pas un regard. Pas un échange. Pas même un petit signe. Rien de rien… Humpf !

En bref, Pit Babe est dans un univers que je n'apprécie pas, cependant il sait comment trouver son public (et les scènes de lit ne sont probablement pas innocentes là-dedans). Néanmoins, il trouve tout son intérêt dans sa seconde partie, jonglant entre romance, action et émotion.

A Disappointment Despite Good Ideas

I just finished Pit Babe, and frankly, watching it was quite a chore. The concept (alpha, enigma, child trafficking, charismatic villain) was promising, but the execution was confusing and messy.

The acting was inconsistent, creating a jarring disparity. The product placements were often poorly done and totally broke the immersion.

But the worst part is Babe: easily one of the worst BL characters, selfish and rude. The dynamic with Charlie is toxic, with Charlie constantly letting himself be walked all over. It's frustrating and makes the relationship uncomfortable.

I absolutely do not recommend it.

I Wanted SO MUCH to LOVE THIS...

Omegaverse. I'm barely familiar but I'm a huge fan of Pavel since his days as the 2nd Forth in the sh*t show that was the 2 Moons 2. Don't get me wrong 2 Moons wasn't a bad series per se but it's production company was the actual sh*t show but I digress this isn't about 2 Moons.

Quite honestly when I heard about this and Pavel being it's star I was thrilled because his initial return to BL fell so short. (Sorry, Coffee Melody) I thought Pavel finally gets his chance to shine again. Because quite frankly the man is a star.

However for me, the pairing was like Coffee Melody and Pavel and Pooh just didn't fit for me. The chemistry was there I guess but yet it wasn't. The deluge of senseless side characters that was on and off that I couldn't like nor hat's because they came and went then came again.

Unlike the masses I couldn't get on board with the Alan/Jeff. It just seemed I don't know creepy in away. Kinda sorta inappropriate like on Absolute Zero when Adult Suansoon romanced Teen Ongsa. I don't know maybe it was just me. So I dropped it somewhere around Episode 9 or 10.

I just want Pavel to shine. I wasn't a fan of all the recast of 2 Moons 2 but I wish all of them the best in moving on from Motive Village. It was so long ago but Din, Ben, Joong, Dome and Pavel (Nine seems to have gone a different direction and if he's happy I'm happy for him) deserve to shine with reputable companies behind them.

This just wasn't it for me but plenty people loved it so Pavel shined for them and that at least makes me happy for him.

It was something new, even if it got a bit messy

I had quite high expectations for the series. The trailer looked interesting, even with all the red flags it threw at us. The plot was good, it made sense to some extent, but there were still some plot holes left and many, many stupid decisions. Not that anyone expected anything else. It did get a bit messy at times, especially with so many characters that each had their own plot.

Now, for the omegaverse aspect of the series. I, as most other fanfic readers out there, have at least a little bit of an idea what omegaverse is and how it works. It’s not usually my cup of tea, I’ll admit that, but it’s something I can deal with when it’s not too in your face. I didn’t mind it too much in the series, I even missed some elements of it. So, while certain things were hinted at, I wish they were clearer, especially the whole enigma-alpha relationships.

Charlie & Babe: I am not a fan of how the two started, and I only got less impressed as the series progressed and more things were revealed. Both of them are big red flags, but somehow, they made it work. They both have past trauma and find it hard to easily trust people. But while Charlie tends to make plans and then act on them, Babe tends to rush into things with not much thinking. He’s very hotheaded. Communication? We don’t know her. The two were very quick to forgive each other and forget about everything that had happened, which is both good and bad. Bad, because a lot of very problematic things were just swept under the rug. Good, because the story would drag on too much otherwise. I liked the chemistry between Pavel and Pooh, and I really liked how Pavel handled the more emotional scenes.

I feel like this is a good space to mention Way. He made me go through so many different emotions. His story is one of the major plot holes and unsolved situations of the series. I feel like his story did not get a proper closure, but it was the lazy way out. Nut was great in portraying Way’s emotions, especially love and jealousy.

Alan & Jeff: They were such cuties! Even if there were a lot of lies and secrets between the two at some point, they talked about it. Jeff is a loner and very reserved, which is very understandable with his upbringing. And Alan is just full of love that he is always trying to share with his boys. In a way, he collected a group of lost boys and gave them love and a chance to thrive under his guidance. It’s no surprise started to melt around Alan at some point. I found their height difference adorable. I also liked the chemistry between Sailub and Pon.

There are a lot of other possible and hinted at ships throughout the series. But if there is one that I am fully on, it’s the North and Sonic ship. The two were a breath of fresh air. There was the least drama surrounding them. I loved their little bickering moments, vlogs, and them trying to be helpful but not really managing to do that.

As for the other characters, Tony is horrible. Kenta is… hurting. He doesn’t know how to quit being Tony’s right hand, no matter how much he hurts him, humiliates him. Pete was a surprise; I wasn’t really sure what to expect from him. Similarly with Kim, and even Dean. Winner is not worth the trouble of talking about him. But all the actors played their characters well, even if some of the villains felt a bit cartoonish.

All in all, it was a good watch, but I think it needed something more to be amazing.

OVERHYPED?

I subscribe IQIYI for this bro cause of the uncut version is steamy ( that's what people been saying ) and I admit, that is indeed true. Steamy and keep making me ask myself if this is allowed? LOL. Okay first, you know the series is meh when the series ended, you just be like "Eh. Okay.". The plot itself have potential to grow but I wish they explain in much detailed version of Alpha x Enigma and the fact that some of the Alpha and Enigma have powers. I feel so lost when suddenly Babe have sense/power, I was like "Eh? Is this fantasy genre?". The explanation is lacking however the conflict is really well execute. No delayed part except sometimes there is unnecessary love scene which got me questioning "You did this for what?".

Okay. The acting. I'm sorry but Pooh need to improve his gaze and the way he is talking to his co-star. It felt weak. It felt like he is still stiff and not ready. But I dont know why when it comes to sex scene, his gaze changed and almost makes my heart skips a beat. LMAO. Charlie's character seems to lack of passion, lack of love and he doesn't even care about maintaining relationship with Way nor other X Hunter's members. I feel like he could care less about them as long as he can be with Babe. Pavel, on the other hand, MISS GURL- I LOVE HIM! I mean how can I not remember he were in 2MOONS 2. Like um WHERE??? Anyway, Pavel's acting is alright but Babe's character is 80% RED FLAG. Like THERE IS NO WAY that he doesn't know Way likes him. Like please-. COME ON. And I think that Babe knows about Way's feelings but he chose to ignore it because back then he was young and all he wants to do is to fight Tony. But still, RED FLAG!

NUT. NUT. NUT. He is my new husband now. HAHAHAHAH I mean- I did watch his first series as main role - TSIMR and I love his acting but it's been a while so I WAS LIKE "YO! WHY IS NUT HERE???". HAHAHAHA but to be honest, I like Way's character and I wish the screenwriter could have include like emotional lines as Way's final lines like, "I am sorry, babe. That day where we back to become friends, will never happen." or "You love him because he would die for you but I love you because I died for you.". YOU KNORRRR???? Such a waste. Way is the only BL character that makes me cry. IM NOT EVEN KIDDING.

Anyway, plot could be better, good cast but lack of good lines.

Not at all what I thought it would be..

.. which actually turned out to be a good thing. There was a lot of hype around this series being geared toward a more mature audience and having adult themes, not just in the NC sense. There was a lot of talk about it incorporating aspects of Omegaverse so I was interested to see what they did with that... whether it was going to be a major plot point or just a passing mention like "Oh, by the way, I'm an Alpha, just so you know."

What I thought it would be, based on the trailer:
-sports drama based on racing
-"playboy denying he's falling for a guy" type of romance
-rivalry between racers as main source of conflict
-father trying to cash in on son's success

While the first few episodes make it seem like it is setting up for some of the above.... Spoiler alert.. it's actually about none of the above and only mildly focused on the racing aspect. The story we actually got was much more involved and, quite honestly, more interesting to me, personally, than if it were simply about car racing. The "omegaverse" aspect was actually the main focus of the overall plot although it's not quite the omegaverse that is commonly portrayed in novels/webcomics/etc which typically includes the secondary sexes, mPreg, going into heat, amongst other things. In this series, they do have Alphas and Enigmas where both can have supernatural abilities and strengths. Scenting plays a small part as well though that is more because of the fact Babe's specific special ability is heightened senses, which obviously include his sense of smell.

But in this series, the big focus is on the Alphas being rare "super human" beings that all have different abilities which manifest as they get older. It was very X-Men to me, quite honestly, as every Alpha had different "powers" and I found myself keeping them straight by comparing them to their X-Men counterpart.

The overall plot was very involved and nerve-wracking while at face value it just looks like the good guys are going after a super villain and his cronies. However, as agendas are revealed and the entirety of the situation unfolds, it actually turned out to be some of the most interesting story writing I've seen in a BL to date. It's very rare this happens, but I would dare say that the story was what kept me more invested rather than the acting. A lot of times, an actor's performance will save a series for me and keep me from either dropping it or giving it a bad review because of bad or uninteresting plot. But here, it was the opposite.

I wouldn't say the acting was "bad" per say, but there were definitely some better than others, which became evident when they all had scenes together. Pavel was really good, especially when it came to the emotional scenes in the later episodes. He wasn't afraid to "ugly cry" which made it that much more believable. Pooh wasn't bad but he certainly wasn't outstanding. I feel like he either got better over time or he just grew on me throughout the course of the show. (most likely the latter since these things don't typically shoot in chronological order.)

Nut's performance was very good and, honestly, I think he pulled off the complexity of his character very well. We don't find out much about him as an individual until about halfway through but there's always this underlying question of "what is his deal?" from the very beginning because something just seems "off." Nut portrayed this extremely well with little nuances sprinkled throughout and it's almost like a "blink and you miss it" kind of thing.

There's actually quite a bit of that going on throughout the series with multiple characters and I found the guessing game to be very captivating. I think the only characters I never questioned their motives or true feelings were Babe, Mr. Tony and Alan. They were pretty much "what you see is what you get" all the way through.

This was also one of the few times I've seen a series where everything is explained, tied together and resolved by the end. There's nothing introduced for the drama aspect only to be forgotten about or given a half-assed resolution. Everything that happens is important and it all gets wrapped up by the finale. It was a breath of fresh air not leaving the series with questions or feeling like something is missing. All of it is very satisfying in that regard.

That being said, I can see this not being for everyone as it is very heartbreaking and frustrating every time the "heroes" are thwarted and they have to start over. People looking for a more mature love story may also find it somewhat lacking as the romance part takes a back seat to everything else going on. It's certainly NOT a light a fluffy watch. But I assure you, it truly is engaging and it had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next pretty much from start to finish. I definitely liked it a lot more than I thought I might and I would gladly watch it again in the future.

Mucha química, pero no mucho sentido

Ahora que he terminado la serie y empiezo a leer comentarios, me sorprende leer que una de las cosas que la gente echa en falta sea química entre la pareja principal, cuando si algo creo que hay entre Pavel y Poo es una química interesante.
En cuanto al argumento de la historia, creo que había un material muy interesante del que partir que se vio eclipsado por la ejecución. Esto permitió tener una primera mitad de gran calidad que va perdiendo sentido en la segunda parte. Muchas veces cuesta comprender las motivaciones de los personajes y me veía preguntándome cómo era tan sencillo entrar en la casa de la Fundación o en la de Alan, como si escondieran la llave debajo de la primera maceta y todo el mundo lo supiera.
He de decir que a mí la retórica papá/mamá no me incomoda nada y que me flipa que el chulito de la relación sea tremendo power bottom, porque arriba los power bottoms, literal y figurativamente.
Me quedo con ganas de esa segunda temporada. A ver qué tal el desarrollo de esa.

10/10 BL

BL, Romance, Car racing, Omegaverse. Will keep you on the edge. Love this drama. Introduced a new genre in the bl industry. The alphas, omegas and the enigmas. It is very interesting and nice to watch. The actors did very well and can't wait to watch the second season. Babe was all serious until he met Charlie and he became hopelessly in love.
Charlie will do anything to make Babe happy and keep him safe. In all it is a good series but did not like the way they rushed the ending. They all did not act surprised when they saw Charlie alive after seeing him die, it was as if they knew about his plans to fake his death.

cheap porn with weird stock music

Literally a cheap porn with weird stock music in the background (also way too loud!!) The story is weird too like I also would be a f1 driver right now following this kind of logic. Just stalk a driver, screw him and boom here is your contract? Max Verstappen here I come!

Omegawerse is not explained at all and has little presence, at least AboDesire tried.

One thing it shares with AboDesire tho is that ugly as fuck interior design, why are their apartments filled with weird ass decorations when they are supposed to be rich. If I had that sort of fuck you money I would choose something that at least is comfy to live in not a fucking concrete looking ass cave.

Overall a feverdream and very uncomfortable to watch, one star because our friends' reaction was funny but we could only barely finish the first episode.
