I do not know how people can like this series that much!!!
Okay... this is my first time ever writing a review just because I cannot believe how people qualify this as the best or their favourite series ever!!! Like what???? How???The plot is all over the place. There is no specific goal or reason for anything! The only interesting thing was the concept of omegaverse, but it didn't even follow the usual concepts of omegaverse!
I felt so bad for Pit Babe, poor thing. He just suffers because the people around him are idiot-lying bastards!
The series is watchable, but it should not be anybody's favourite anything!!! It's just toxic and abusive!
Unpopular opinion:
Charlie is trash! Charlie is trash! Charlie is trash! Saying this over and over again for the last couple of episodes was the only way I could finish them! He is a power-stealing, lying, deceiving, thoughtless bastard! He broke my man's heart for absolutely no reason whatsoever, no actual plan, and then just showed up out of nowhere for no apparent reason!!! He kept making promises that he would never lie again, never hide the truth again, but would not hesitate to do it the very next chance he got. I did not like his character at all! How are you just going to steal your boyfriend's powers like that???? On purpose!!! Without telling them!!! And you call yourself loving them! Knowing he also used his power to race, which was his whole life! Although he did not need it, Charlie did not know that! His dad was super trash as well!
His best friend tries to rape him, but we are okay with that as well, I guess...
The most important people around him are just trash, poor thing!
End of rant!

One of the must watch series this is. It's worthy to watch pit babe the series.
Mind-blowing story line with outstanding acting skills, and the chemistry is next level, nc scenes are heavenly 😍... I hope season 2 will be as good as season 1 because nothing can be better than this ❤️ at first I want to say about babe character which is played by Pavel, one of the best actor, babe is a successful and confident car racer and a alpha, he met Charlie another alpha, who feels babes life full of happiness. Pooh played Charlie's role and as a bigganer he nailed it... We can sea many ups and downs in there relationship but there is only Charlie who stand beside babe with his life. In ep 10 Charlie's disappearance and babes sadness made hole fandom cry all night and I'm one of them. You must have to watch this to know what happened to Charlie and what is the destination of their relationship... And you also come to know a theory based on alpha enigma and omega. It will steal your interest. And the story line and the suspence will make you to see this till end... Wish you a great time with pit babe ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
Not for me
So, I knew this was an omegaverse which already made me doubt if I'd like it, BUT that's not what threw me off. I thought I'd like it since I love car and motorbike racings but jesus Christ. It was just so fucking boring to watch. On one hand I wanted to find out what the fuck Charlie really wanted and what was happening, but I don't know, I just lost motivation since it was kinda slow paced. I just got bored of it.Was this review helpful to you?
It gives me LITA vibes but the plot has nothing in common. First of all, the story is unconventional, really interesting and kind of mysterious.
I can definitely say that this isn't a series for people who like "slow burn" but as I see it, the fact that it has a fast plot matches its thyme.
Moreover, many people believe that there should have been more information about each character's life but, in my opinion this would have destroyed the suspense of the episodes. Making scenarios and trying to understand the characters' feelings and motivations it's much more interesting than knowing every single detail about their lives. (And that's what it makes it different from the other bl series.)

Missed Opportunity
As a fan of ABO I was really excited for this. However, they don't explain the ABO dynamics and it feels like they don't have a world system in mind. They just throw around words like "alpha" with no real thought behind it. I also don't really care for race car driving plot. It didn’t hold my interest. Another thing that added to the disappointment was how the friends were one-dimensional and ignorant. It's a shame because the two MC's have chemistry and showed some good acting, but the lack of investment in the story and understanding of ABO led to lackluster results.Was this review helpful to you?
I am known to be overly dramatic, but hear me out.......
For weeks I have been on the hunt for a good BL to watch. I feel like at this point I have watched almost everything (over exaggeration), but for weeks, I have seen this series everywhere and I continued to avoid it after reading the summary over and over again because of ONE thing.......racing lol. I avoided watching this because of the concept of racing cars. Yesterday, I gave in and I just did it, and I will tell you, I was GAGGED after the first episode, absolutely and completely gagged. I am going to try and review this in a really well thought out and organized way, but bear with me, because I do not do this often.Story
The story is not what I expected it to be, I generally thought I was going to be bored with the whole concept, but boy, was I wrong. I have never been one for racing, but I have been on the edge of my seat with that whole again, concept. Racing is not really the whole part of the story though, and watching it has made me realize that there is so much more and it feels so complex to me, in a good way. I think that maybe there is a little bit of confusion sometimes when it came to the main story, but when is there not confusion in a BL (with the exception of the eighth sense, my all-time favorite). I think the story was really well thought out and portrayed in such a way that makes you want to keep watching. That's all I really have to say about the story, just STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF AND WATCH IT!!!!!!! (if you feel the same way I did.
Acting/Characters
The acting is flat out amazing, now I do not know Babe's real name yet and I will learn it soon, but he is outstanding. Everything about his performance has been amazing. Same goes for Charlie. The two of them combined = heart explosion. Their chemistry is and will forever be one of my favorites, they just feel so real and perfect. The side couple, which I haven't gotten into far yet is also going pretty well, I won't name names because it's a slow development so far and I don't wanna spoil it. This show has just done a really great job overall.
I know this is probably a very short and direct review, but this show has taken the words right out of my mouth. I have smiled, laughed, and cried already so much and I still have more to watchhhhh. I am just so invested right now that I had to come here a write a review on this. This show is sooooo different from any Thai BL that I have really seen, with exceptions of course, but I really just highly recommend this show, especially if you are a romance fiend like I am as well as someone who likes a little bit if steam~~.

Put away the scissors ✂️ ?️
In the beginning of this year I saw an edit about Pavel and Pooh and their audition. It may be because of the editing but I loved the chemistry between these two and was really exited for this drama.Then it aired. The first episode was amazing, breathtaking acting, cinematography: chef kiss.
While the story had some information holes for newcomer in the abo-verse, my only other complain is the cutting in the cut version.
I understand that there are cut and uncut version, but while paying for VIP IQIYI the series is not available in my region (Germany) so for legally watching I am depending on the cut version on YouTube. It‘s missing important little details, that make the story seem completely torn into small pieces, not really related to each other and it’s disturbes the smooth watching experience.
Nonetheless I love watching this series. It‘s little icks are made up by the actors performance and while I got some information from TikTok about the plot I am exited how this series will evolve.

So far, Pit Babe is worth the wait
Just watched the first episode and I must say, i am impressed. The episode introduces this series perfectly without so much spoilers and a hint of suspense to keep you glued. The characters are introduced with as much information as necessary to give you a hint but not so much that you might predict what might happen next. The hint of omegaverse makes this an exciting add to my watchlist as I am a huge fan. Who is the mafia looking businessman at the end of the episode? What does he have against Pit Babe? Is Charlie on Pit Babe's side or is he one of the bad guys? Who did he talk to on the phone at the end of the episode asking for an update on Pit Babe? Sooo many questions needs answers and I can't wait to watch this and hopefully I will get my answers. Highly recommendWas this review helpful to you?

First impression(watched the first episode)
Pooh has done a really good job even though its his first series. I felt Pavel and Nut's acting has also improved since 2moon2 and Oxygen respectively. It took me some time to realize it was Pavel. What a transformation of his looks. I just loved it. Talking about the series, there were too many characters so it might take me some time to understand whats going on. But, for sure ill continue watching it since my first impression was pretty good. I'll come back to this review to add in any details that i notice. Else I'll come back at the end to share my overall review and opinion on the series.Note: this is just my impression of the series and characters. Doesn't impose anything on anyone. What I like, you might not like and viceversa

Uma montanha-russa de emoções, testosterona e decisões questionáveis
Pit Babe é aquele tipo de BL que você começa achando que vai assistir por causa das corridas, do romance leve e de uns pilotos gostosos. Só que, do nada, você percebe que caiu numa novela mexicana com drift, onde todo mundo tem um segredo, ninguém sabe conversar, e o coração do espectador vai sendo atropelado a cada plot twist.A premissa até engana bem: Charlie, nosso menino esforçado e sonhador, quer correr mas não tem carro. Todo um drama raiz que o brasileiro entende. Aí ele vai bater na porta do Babe, que é tipo o deus do circuito de corridas e também o dono da pose mais insuportável do mundo. E pra conseguir a ajuda dele? Tem que virar meio que um assistente... um pupilo... um submisso? Enfim. Uma relação que começa com aquela vibe “por interesse” mas logo vira um caos emocional com faíscas e muita tensão mal resolvida.
E sim, aqui entra o momento “me aproximei por interesse, mas me apaixonei de verdade”, porque todo BL que se preze tem essa virada. Só que Pit Babe pega essa fórmula e mergulha de cabeça num mar de drama, ciúme, segredos de família, traumas não tratados e uma boa dose de “ninguém aqui sabe se comunicar sem gritar ou sair andando”.
O casal principal, Charlie e Babe, tem química? Tem. Tem até demais. Mas também tem uma bagagem emocional que faria qualquer terapeuta pedir demissão. Eles se amam, se odeiam, se encaram com aquele olhar que só BL tailandês consegue entregar, uma mistura de raiva, desejo e “se você mentir de novo eu te atropelo com o seu próprio carro de corrida”.
As corridas existem, tá? Mas sinceramente, ninguém liga. Porque o foco vira mesmo o DRAMALHÃO: aquele nível de drama que flerta com o absurdo, mas você já tá tão envolvida que aceita. Só que vamos conversar rapidinho sobre esse universo omegaverse que aparece sem explicação nenhuma? Me irrita. Me tira da imersão. É aquele detalhe que fica ali, flutuando, e você sente que ou esqueceram de explorar ou cortaram tudo na edição. E mesmo assim... eu amo. Fazer o quê?
Pontos altos? Temos:
- Personagens secundários que roubam a cena (Way e Jeff, meus amores);
- Pavel entregando tudo nos momentos de surto emocional (ele entrega, sim);
- Trilha sonora que gruda na cabeça;
- Figurino? Todo mundo parece que saiu direto de um editorial da GQ versão corrida de rua.
Agora, os baixos (porque tem):
- Furos de roteiro que fazem você dar pausa e falar “pera, o quê?”;
- Drama tão exagerado que às vezes parece sátira;
- Decisões dos personagens que testam a sua paciência e o controle remoto.
No fim, Pit Babe não é uma série perfeita, longe disso. Mas ela é viciante. É tipo fast food emocional: meio caótica, nada saudável, mas você come tudo rapidinho e no fim tá pedindo mais. Tem defeitos? Muitos. Mas tem alma, tem entrega, tem emoção. E tem o Babe sem camisa, o que automaticamente dobra a nota.
Se você gosta de BL com emoção à flor da pele, corridas só de enfeite, e um romance que parece um acidente em câmera lenta, vai fundo. Pit Babe vai te pegar.
