Love, Racing, and Missed Potential
First of all, I started this series with the hope of finding some fresh air in this genre. Unfortunately, I quickly became bored by the lack of plot in the first few episodes. Despite this, I decided to give it another chance and trust the process. Having now finished the series, I can say that, in my opinion, it fell short in a few areas.
There is a lack of plot in this series, and I wish they would have given more screentime to some side characters. I would have loved to learn more about Pai's siblings or their other friends, but we rarely saw them, and they added nothing to the plot. The way their love stories develop seems way too fast, and I would have enjoyed some more push and pull between them, especially for Rain and Payu. As for the second couple, Sky and Pai, I appreciated the efforts made to make their relationship as healthy as it could be.
I'm not afraid of stories that deal with sensitive topics, and I'm able to enjoy them if they are executed correctly.
In the case of this series, it all felt a little rushed, and it brushed off important issues that could have added so much more to the story and left a bigger impact on the viewers.
Also, there are not enough racing scenes! The story circles around the organized racing events, but the scenes where we actually see the characters race are limited.
Overall, this series had some really enjoyable moments that made me laugh and sometimes feel for the characters. Although the writing is questionable at times and cringeworthy at others, it left me wanting for more.
