A great tale about friendship and rallying
At first, I was a little confused by the dual personalities and put this drama on hold for a while. By episode 3, it gets easy to understand. Hu Xian Xu's acting in this drama was commendable. He portrayed Zhendong and Zhang Chi's personalities distinctly well. Wang Yanlin, Adi Kan, and He Xiang also acted very well. I enjoyed the camaraderie of Speeding Team very much, and the OST was pretty good as well.
I really liked the friendship between Zhendong/Xi Ting and Zhendong/Li Aoduo/Ai Fei. As a rookie racer and introvert, Zhendong made true friendships of his own too and it was nice to see those develop (unlike his best friend who thought he knew Zhendong SO well *cough*).
I just finished watching this a couple days ago and sat on this review for a while as I was a little stumped by the ending. Some other reviewers felt that 28 episodes was quite short, hence the "abrupt" ending. Personally, I felt that some flashback scenes in particular were a bit draggy, and that 28 episodes was well enough to convey the story. Therefore I feel that the ending was purposely abrupt which stumped me a bit at first.
I am actually okay with the ending now as on hindsight, through that long dream, Zhang Chi got a taste of what life would have been like if he could have a do-over. Some fates were inevitable (like breaking his leg) and others were successfully changed (like his relationship with Xiao He). Though it's a little sad regarding him and Xiao He at the end, I think the big thing that Zhang Chi took away was the great friendships that he had and his love for rallying (he did still retain the championship cup afterall). Life will go on and Zhang Chi has that to be happy with.
