Pit Babe (2023)

Muito boa de assistir, mas com seus pontos negativos.

Acompanhei desde de o lançamento e foi muuuito bom e divertido de acompanhar! É um bl bom de assistir, apesar de ter alguns pontos negativos.

A série é adaptação de uma novel, mas não diria q é uma adaptação perfeita. A história em si é muito boa e diferente do comum, aborda assuntos importantes e que (apesar de ser de um jeito adaptado para o universo da novel) dificilmente vejo sendo abordado no mundo dos doramas. Contudo, achei que a história foi muito corrida (principalmente o ultimo ep), e acabou deixando muitas pontas soltas. Foi pouco explorada e abordada superficialmente.

Os casais são todos lindos e fofos, gostei bastante deles. O Pavel e o Pooh tem uma química ótima, ficam muito bem juntos.
Gostei bastante do tema de corrida, achei que foi apresentado de uma forma bem legal (as corridas por exemplo) e que os atores encaixaram perfeitamente nesse tema.
Apesar de não ter achado a atuação de todos perfeitas, os atores são todos lindos, queridos e maravilhosos, peguei um carinho por eles.

Bom, é um bl que não achei incrível e perfeito, mas que mesmo com seus pontos negativos, é bem legal de assistir.

Imperfect, but full of heart

This was a long ride. Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting from Pit Babe, but a human trafficking/car racing/omegaverse storyline surely wasn't. It's not a perfect show. It has a lot of inconsistencies and silly things, but it's undeniably charming and interesting. I, a person who didn't even like omegaverse much, was intrigued by the world setting.

The characters are wonderful and compelling. I fell in love with all of them. For their stories, their experiences, their personalities, etc. Even the main antagonist enchanted me (although for other reasons/he is a very convincing villain).

Anyway, Is Pit Babe perfect? No, but it's very charming.

babe deserves the world

it was good (technically), but i didn't love it. the acting WAS good. i just didn't have a good time. my boy Babe deserves better (i got really attached to him because he's perfect and Pavel is an amazing actor) but he can have Charlie if that's what he really wants. i guess. the fact that it's ABO is so funny to me, like...the sniffing takes me tf out every time. like? don't include it, or commit to it 100%, please. i would rather Way have died in a horrific fire that exposes him for the monster that he is, rather than a blaze of glory making him out to be some sort of hero. but...i was not put in charge here.

I saw this series and the poster immediately caught my attention. I like Formula 1 and MotoGP, but something in me said that I wouldn't like this as much as I like the poster. Sadly, I was right.
In this case I don't think the series is bad or anything like that, it just failed to grip me and I'm not theright viewer for it. I'm sure someone else would find it much more interesting. But yeah, I was just bored.
It started off pretty interesting, but I don't know, it could've been the writing styl, but it didn't keep my attention as it went on.
Everything goes to fast with no explanation for the characters motivations or why they’re doing what they’re doing. Too many characters and nonsensical plot, which plods along then goes nowhere.
I am going to miss Alan and Jeff 🩷
But will I give it another try? I'm not sure.
Either way, if you look this go right ahead, I hope you'll be the viewer who connects with this series on every level.

"I can die for you."

Okay, hello gang, and welcome back to the channel. I started this on November 19th, 2023, and I finished it yesterday September 14th, 2024. Ain't that something? Let me average it lol. 8.92 out of 10, so we will round it up to a 9 out of 10. And the headline is a quote from Charlie, lol. Not even going to lie, this was actually really good. Like I understand omegaverse puts most people off but it isn't even that big of a part of it, like it's really deeper than Omegaverse and racing (and drinking alcohol, lol), so if you are on the fence, I think give it a shot, and the Omegaverse is just in the background of all of it. And if season 2 ever comes out, I will be watching that shit lol. Now let's break it down lol.

There was a pretty interesting start and right off the bat the camera work was very good I was pretty impressed. You know my trifling ass doesn't read tags or the description so when I heard the word alpha I was like what? And low and behold I found one of my favorite tags, so I knew they were either gonna cook up something absolutely heinous or it was gonna be good. And it was good. I didn't read the description and still haven't but I was talking about how I only trusted Babe in this and that he can do no wrong lol. He looked really sad at the start and looked like he was forced into the racing stuff, and then I thought that I was overthinking it, but nope, he was very much forced into it. Good for me for spelling everything wrong in this episode review and trying to find some stuff out. I knew from the start that Charlie had a hidden agenda and I for real thought he was going to be a villain, but he wasn't, just another traumatized kid man. Uh I think I was talking about Kenta because it says "guy with middle part working for the millionaire guy" and I thought I recognized him "but at the same time, everyone has the same haircut" besides Charlie. There was a lot of stuff happening and I was really praying that they would work everything out.

A full month went by and then I watched the second episode. I said it was pretty good and everyone in there is just so hot lol (future me still stands by this). The plot was starting to make sense and there was the right amount of loopholes where you want to find out more and know more without it being too confusing or too boring. I had my midterms literally the next day, but I was too busy watching this crap lol. I figured out they call him Pit Babe because his name is Babe and he drives in a pit, like a racing pit (I am so smart I know). Then I said that "the serious face motherfucker with the scary face (hopefully future me figures out who that is)" was getting on my nerves with his shit. I am gonna say Way because he has a scary sexy face and he was getting on my nerves but I don't know. Okay yep, definitely Way because I said "Let Babe and Charlie be happy." I mentioned that Jeff and Charlie were working together (and are brothers, but adopted so doesn't that make Babe and him brothers? They never touched on that lol) and I hoped they weren't working for Tony, which I was wrong about. They were but not in the way I thought. I mentioned that Jeff was very attractive and then said "Everyone is, but I feel like he doesn't get any edits about him, and he's actually really hot, handsome, and beautiful." And then I made the prediction that Jeff and Alan were gonna be a pair and I was very right about that. They were a nice break from the main couple and their issues. One question though, not related to this episode but instead to the whole show, so is everyone an alpha or omega or beta or enigma or whatever the fuck? Or is it just certain people? Because like North, sonic, Alan and a few others aren't or were they and it just wasn't relevant? Like how does that even work? Uh I was talking about how North and Sonic are nice comedic relief from this show and have this really weird tension that I couldn't explain and it mentioned something about them dating, but I didn't know then and I still don't know if they were dating lol. Let me look that up actually. Uh one thing is telling me they are and the rest is telling me no, they teased it but we don't know. And I now have a cute edit of them lol.

Damn, why am I writing so much lol. This review didn't make a lot of sense because of the voice thing on my phone lol. Bae loses a race and then was acting like nobody loved him when Charlie did and then I said some outlandish shit about Charlie not actually liking him because he was being suspicious. Wrong, so very wrong December 29th, me, so very wrong. Charlie was lowkey scaring me with his weird ass and him sketching around Babe's house, I would freak the fuck out if I was Babe and kick his ass out, but I am glad I am not Babe lol. I talk about Kim and how he looks like he was forced into it like babe, I was right, but I don't know if he was in the human trafficking thing. Then I mentioned that Way looks Korean. And then said, "I know he likes Babe, but he needs to like just mind his business and stop meddling for real for real." Bro Way actually meddled himself to death, crazy man. Also, the theme song was lowkey bumping, lol. I mentioned that Alan and Jeff were my favorite couple. Lol and then I said, "Hopefully {Babe can} actually talk about his feelings instead of bottling them up and losing qualifiers because he wants to be cool." That's funny as fuck.

And the same day I watched the next episode instead of waiting a month or six months. I don't even know what I was yapping about in the first part because I used the voice thing again. I think Winner I think his name is cut Babe's tires and he spun out and crashed. That happens more often than it should in this show bro. Then I started to connect the whole sense thing because they did not all explain that well. Jeff can tell the future, which I think is the worst sense out of all of them. Okay let me rank them because I can and this is also based on memory so if I forget someone, lol my fault. 1) Charlies because he can literally absorb people's powers, that's overpowered as fuck. 2) Way with the making people freeze and sleep, which was used problematically used, but it is very overpowered and wasn't used to its fullest potential lol. 3) Pete and the reading people's minds or whatever it was, that's very cool but I wouldn't use it that much because that would scare me lol. 4) Babe's heightened senses, I am gonna do formula 1 with these. 5) and lastly Jeff, I would not want to tell the future and then not be able to change it, freaky deaky man. Like there is nothing you can do to stop it because it is already set in stone. I would lose my mind. Hopefully, that's everyone, lol. Okay back to Jeff, He is scared of his relationship with Alan because of this future thing, and he tries to stay away from his but it was already set in stone. Freaky deaky man. Then so much is happening and Babes stuck-up ass is getting in his own head personality comes out and they were dragging the plot out from the last episode, it was very annoying. I mentioned that Kim is a good guy, which I was right about. Then more Charlie and Babe being annoying lol.

The same day, the episode wasn't that memorable lol. He forgave him or some shit and Jeff and Alan I wanted more of them and Winner and Kim, which I never got, but I did get more of Jeff and Alan, and that's all that matters lol.

2 months go by lol. Babe and Charlie were finally boyfriends and they were a little too happy lol. "I am not praying {on} their downfall, but no one can stay this happy for long, so next episode they are crashing down." I was very much praying for their downfall. I couldn't remember what happened in the previous episode and neither could past me who watched the episode apparently lol. Analogy: "All I know is that this episode felt like we were sitting around in a pond waiting to be eaten, but the pond {is} frozen over." I don't even know what this means but it is funny. Then they bring in the mama and papa shit, which they drag out through the episode which is funny because I think that shows their dynamic pretty well I am lowkey obsessed with it. I knew Dean was a bad guy from the start, good job past me. Way was getting really real, besides the whole pick me shit, with the unrequited love. I say something about it "You like a good friend, and you know they don't like you back, but they have given you all of these signs. But now that it's too late, your heart still likes them and you can't just not like them because that's not how it works." Okay me, shout out for the deep shit. Way throwing out the chain was the end of them, which I was right about. I finish it off with "I also want to knwo what Jeff saw in his memory with babe. They fake for not telling us because, like what do you gain from not telling the audience, like, bruh?"

This was written yesterday, and after 6 months, I finally came back to finish this show. I saw edits and now we are back, turns out I already watched the edit in episode 2 and just couldn't remember it lol. I said, "Lowkey forgot they race, and this isn't just an omegaverse." That's funny ass fuck. Once again way was getting on my fucking nerves with his love for Babe. Someone told Kim to go back to Korea, which was definitely derogatory lol. And every single time something sad would happen they would play the first 3 notes of piano man lol. And then the whole human trafficking thing is revealed and I was just like "This raising kids to sell them to millionaires is so problematic... it is slavery and human trafficking which is so problematic because it affects so many people," especially with the auctions he has. CRAZY. Babe and Charlie getting freaky in the convertible with the top down is crazy fucking work bro, but it was a good scene lol. "Are there any women in this?" 3, the lady at that restaurant and two paparazzi people lol.

I forced myself to finish this show lol. I ask what baes ability is and then ask a question I asked earlier. I also love Charlie and Babe's dynamic a lot, I think it was very well done and they developed it very well. I thought that Pete and Way were a thing, and I guess I was right because it was one-sided. I asked what the trippy-ass vision is, but I still don't know lol. Also insane how they didn't know each other but they were all in the house together, that makes that so much more problematic and depressing because he would block them off and keep them away from each other. I felt bad for Kenta and I am glad he came around in the end. I was asking who is the enigma and I said it was Way, which I was right. I continued to slander way. The fighting scenes in this were actually really good. And them holding people hostage with plans to sell them is crazy.

"Almost got gangbanged." We have different definitions of that word. Then they started to live in Alan's giant-ass compound house bro, that was funny. Jeff and Alan are still my favorite couple lol. I was talking in all caps about way being the enigma and this setup thing that wasn't actually a setup. "nah why are we letting men control us? And then way with his enigma power. And him emaciating Babe. WHICH WAS INSANE. If Charlie did not interrupt, was Way going to rape babe? Like that's what I thought and that's what I still think but holy fucking shit. The solution to everything, kill Tony. Way claims he is doing that for Babe's own good, oh shit. Oh shit. Okay so the whole thing was that Tony wanted a child from Babe, or this is what I remember from what Charlie said and only enigmas can do that, and was that what way was trying to do? Oh shit. I just realized that. That's problematic. They all still call him daddy is weird and also really depressing because they still see this trama and all of this through the eyes of kids. Tony was stupid for trying to get Babe instead of Jeff, he and Pete are the most useful out of all of them. Jeff has so much game bro. And then live in the Encanto family house bro.

Uh, Tony was a good villain. "all he cares about {is} his money holy shit. doesn't matter who lives and who dies, he doesn't care that Charlie is dead, he only cares that his money is gone." And then I went on a rant about how nothing makes what Tony did okay. Nothing that could have happened to him in a million years could have made this okay. "Not even being dramatic if I was going through what {Babe} was going threw I'd genuinely hang myself, like you lost your best friend and boyfriend in the same week, and then all the alpha shit and the senses, power, bonding, I would have hung myself." And Alan trying to slide on Jeff at his brother's funeral is crazy work. And there was so much happening lol.

I lowkey forgot that Kim lived with them and Sonic and North were the much-needed plot slow down and I am so grateful for that. Also glad that Charlie was doing okay because if they got caught before they acted out their full plan, they would be capital f FUCKED. Their sex scene beat was fire, and I gonna drop my freestyle on SoundCloud, link in bio. "Okay, not to be a snot-eating kid but Kenta and Tony's relationship is giving Catnap and the prototype in Poppy Playtime chapter 3." Because he does all of this wrong but Kenta still sees him as this god. The random ass Kenta and Pete lore were very interesting, and maybe they were a couple (Kenta and Kim apparently lol). I hope they get more development for that in season 2 I guess.

"Mr. Pete has a fetish for traumatized men with strands of hair framing their faces." Lol. We get babes father revealed and that was fucking twist that I was not ready for lol. There was a lot happening lol.

"Someone pass Babe some week, bro, he needs it." They had a terrible reunion spot and if were Babe I would crash the fuck out and be a crazy-ass villain. They have 4 plans and they surprisingly all worked because of timing lol. Also, the put your man behind you in the crossfire thing was very cute and I love to see that. Once again asking if North and Sonic are a thing. They shot Tony lol and Way was dying. Tony "wanted a beast and he got one and now he is wondering why." All of the people got ruined by Tony besides Alan, sonic, and North. Thats crazy. "He made a monster and now is wondering why this monster now hates him. You made him this way, he is the monster you {had always} wanted, the monster you created." I didn't think that Kenta was going to come around lol. Tony dying was traumatic for everyone. Crazy twist that didn't happen, alan was actually the villain all along. We got a cop-out ass ending but I am okay with that because of the emotional baggage of this. And that's it. I would recommend it and this review is almost 3000 words and I have almost 500 mistakes lol. Okay bye!

Nice BL with some good love scenes

the story story line started off great! the first two episodes relied you in but then by episode 7-9… they really didn’t flesh out the pace of the storyline and so the last episodes felt rushed leaving the audience to fill in the gaps with what has happened to lead up to the scenes in the final episode; for example, we are kept on the dark of what the plan was to protect Babe by Jeff and Charlie - even when things changed up and they needed to make adjustments to said plan or the late introduction of the father and no real explanation as to why he’s been gone and now he’s into biopharma for special alphas or why their adoptive father didn’t sell gifted children like Babe and Jeff when they were a bit younger as we see is the case for the other kids currently in the foundation… all in all, I would rewatch as the a tired were cute and the main couple, PavelPhoom had great on screen chemistry.

wasted potential

this drama started off pretty strong with only a few minor flaws every now and then, so i thought it was still salvageable as long as the ending was decent- which it, unfortunately, wasn't at all.

at some point around episode 10, the (metaphorical) train completely derailed and every single episode after that, including the finale, was only 10% entertaining while the other 90% was downright frustrating.

the only commendable thing about this series was the actors. while some were subpar, the ones that were good were *very* good. pavel, nut, and benz in particular were constantly stopping me from dropping this series.
however, almost everything else was aggravatingly bad. the camera work made me nauseous at least once per episode, certain actors consistently delivered their (already lacking) lines poorly throughout the entire series, and the plot was written as if it was just a bunch of random bullet points of things they wanted to happen and then they just made up on the spot how they'd connect them all.

all of that being said, i do still think it wasn't terrible. if they'd simply put a bit more effort into, what was meant to be, such a serious drama, i think most of my qualms would've faded to the background. i can put up with a plot that goes a bit off track sometimes and a couple bad actors- but when i can predict every cliche and just *know* that an emotional moment is going to be ruined by poor acting almost *every time* it's just too much.

The show started off really strong but became a tad ridiculous at the end; A lot of plot-points felt unnecessary or overly dramatic - especially in the latter half of the show - and the ending was pretty anticlimactic.
Also, the whole omegaverse aspect could have been entirely omitted and it would have had no bearing on the plot.

However, despite these criticisms, the show still managed to entertain me throughout.
The scenes between Pavel and Pooh were electric and their romance was worth following to the end.
Pavel was definitely the better actor of the two, but he nailed his role and some of his scenes were so moving I almost cried.

Overall I don't regret the time I spent watching the show.

With potential but lacking

I really wanted to love this BL I really wanted to but it just dissatisfied me. They wrapped it to fast i mean it was so easy apparently to solve their problems by killing Tony but they just had to drag it for 13 ep and leave much more important things out like that magical cure. What about Pete and Kenta and Kim and Winner? And tha moat important WAY. I just felt that their relationships were brushed aside.

On top of that they just killed Way in the most stupid manner. I know he was an idiot for a long time but he did love Babe and i think that after loving someone for 10 year on his own it might take a tool on his mental health. But he did not deserve to die.

Overall I was kinda disappointed. I am happy Babe and Charlie were together in the end but with so many characters with potential i feel something it's missing

The ending ruined it!

OK.........first off good for them to try and bring the whole Omegaverse to the TV screen, however there were a few areas of it that they didn't really go that far into, and thats why some people (i know personally) seemed to be so confused as to why Babe became so obsessed with Charlie so quickly. The show did mention that Babe doesn't like Alpha scents and Charlie doesn't have one, but other than that it kinda skipped over it and lots of people didn't see that as a reason for their relationship. The whole Way being an Enigma thing was the same. Some people didn't understand it, and it was only partially explained in the show.

Personally I loved it, I loved the way they didn't follow the stereotypes of 'tops' and 'bottoms' in gay relationships.........with Babe being perfectly comfortable being the 'bottom' in their relationship, and not one even raising an eyebrow at it. That was great. Pavel and Pooh had great onscreen chemistry, and really worked together well. It's the first time I had seen either of them on screen and i'm glad I did.
Babe was really well written and Pavel knocked it out the park. Charlie was a little less understandable, but that was his character, still Pooh did well with it. Even Nut in playing Way.......you know an actor is doing brilliantly when you want to reach into the screen and strangle their character!

This show was seriously going to be one of the best shows i'd seen in a while with its new Omegverse plot, cinematography, actors and interesting plot..........until about episode 9...........then it fell off a cliff!

I have no idea what happened after that but YIKES!
There was no reason to 'kill' Charlie except for to devastate Babe and separate our two leads for a while...........and it was WAY too long! But even then, while Charlie was 'dead' how they handled it was seriously messy. After Babe had had a breakdown weeping for the loss of his partner, Charlie was never mentioned again by anyone, except once when Charlie himself asked Jeff how Babe was dealing with his death.......it was almost like the show was going 'ok he died, and now we move on'. It didn't work right.
Then you had the Kenta/Kim/Pete/Way mess. They were setting up Way and Pete only to then set up Pete with Kenta, who they had kinda set up with Kim......they couldn't decide what they were doing. And I'm sorry but turning Kim into basically the third stooge with North and Sonic was just a waste of that character after its great introduction.
Babe's father and his magic 'antidote'.........they spent so much time on that.........but in the end nothing happened. That was pointless and just wasted time.
Charlie's 'plan' to save Babe by dying.......again nothing came of it, and it just wated time the writers could have used better by forwarding the plot, character relationships and development.
The end episodes where a mess and really let the show down!

Still I liked the show and would watch it again, simply for the chemistry of the cast and because those first episodes were well written.

Why

What the actual f**k did I just watch? It was amazing and the casting was as expected which is good but they just cut things off to quickly. The whole plot of the drama was fuzzy but the main couple was carrying with their chemistry and their kiss scenes . Now that the side couple barely brings anything to the table because their relationship was never explained or got looked in to so now the drama is now a redemption arc and dry . The start was good because it was slow and steady so it had time to expand on the characters but at the end it was to quick because of the episode limit and the rush to get information out that couldve been explained if the drama was longer or they focused on the information at the beginning because they had the time . Not mad just disappointed.
