The story didn't really flow for me. There were times where I was lost of what was happening and then there were times where it was obvious that the shock value didn't really have an impact on me.
I'm a little disappointed with the ships that they had suggested but we never got to see.
Also, I think because this show was SO hyped up, you know when you see too much of something you just get the meh feeling.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
My first omegaverse
Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve never be one to judge those who enjoy the omegaverse but until now I’ve never had any interest in it myself even though I’m a pretty big BL enjoyer. However, this drama changed my opinion and I fear I may like the omegaverse quite a bit now. As for the drama itself I fought myself on my rating because while I enjoyed it, the storyline was just messy and some characters genuinely annoyed me. That being said I LOVE Babe so much that I stayed hooked from beginning to end. I’m absolutely obsessed with Pavel and will be keeping up with everything he does now! I also really loved Charlie and all the side characters (especially Kim) and I think them being so likable added to my enjoyment. Now onto PB2!Was this review helpful to you?

Loved it!
I had mixed emotions watching this drama. Loved the main couple and the support couple. But like the racers were perfection. Pit babe was honestly the best racer. Hr had gone through so much. Even went through his boyfriend fakes death, his own best friend of 10 years sexually harrased him and got betrayrd by him...etc. Charlie was also on a tough road, faking his death to protect his boyfriend and friends, got betrayed...etc. (don't wanna spoil too much). Alan and Jeff we're also a good couple. Jeff can see the future which is really cool! Jeff had also been kidnapped by Tony, their enemy but luckily, Alan saved him. I kinda hoped for North and Sonic to get together aswell but they didn't. Overall, i loved it and i recommend it, especially for the people that love wathcing omegaverse dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Fast Start, Total Crash
I went into Pit Babe genuinely wanting to like it. The premise was promising, underground racing, high-stakes competition, power dynamics, and a touch of Omegaverse-inspired lore. The first few episodes had momentum. There was tension, intrigue, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting.And then… it derailed.
What started as a sleek racing drama slowly turned into a chaotic mix of over-the-top melodrama, inconsistent character motivations, and plot decisions that made less and less sense as the episodes progressed. The tone became strangely cheeky and exaggerated, almost parody-like at times, which clashed heavily with the darker themes it was trying to explore. Instead of escalating tension, the story began circling itself.
One of the biggest issues is the writing. The series introduces complex elements, Alphas, “special senses,” manipulation, power transfer — but barely explains any of them in a coherent way. Viewers unfamiliar with Omegaverse concepts are left to either accept everything blindly or do external research just to understand basic plot mechanics. Even then, the rules of this world feel inconsistent. Powers conveniently disappear when the plot needs them to, and emotional conflicts repeat in cycles without meaningful growth.
Character development suffers just as much. Babe starts off compelling: confident, sharp-tongued, emotionally guarded. But his progression feels abrupt and, at times, contradictory. Charlie, meanwhile, remains frustratingly underwritten. His motivations lack depth, and his emotional range often feels one-note. What’s meant to be intense devotion comes off as shallow fixation. Their relationship is heavily dependent on physical chemistry rather than emotional foundation, which makes the dramatic stakes feel hollow.
Side characters are introduced in abundance but rarely handled with care. Some arcs hint at something interesting, redemption, betrayal, hidden loyalties, only to be rushed, abandoned, or concluded in unsatisfying ways. The overstuffed cast dilutes focus, and several characters feel either redundant or poorly utilized.
The villain, despite being positioned as a mastermind figure, lacks real menace or dimensionality. Instead of a layered antagonist, we get a cartoonish presence whose impact never quite lands.
The final stretch is particularly disappointing. Instead of tying up lingering plot threads or addressing the broader consequences of the story’s events, the ending leans into surface-level emotional beats and fan-service moments. Major questions remain unanswered. The resolution feels abrupt and oddly empty, as if the narrative simply ran out of direction.
To its credit, the series does have flashes of potential. The racing concept is refreshing within the BL landscape, and certain performances elevate weak material. But strong acting alone cannot compensate for inconsistent writing and tonal imbalance.
Ultimately, Pit Babe feels like a show with an ambitious concept that never found its footing. What began with promise collapses under messy plotting, exaggerated melodrama, and an ending that fails to deliver closure.
It wasn’t just disappointing, it felt like wasted potential.

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.

Did I enjoy it? Maybe. Am I invested in it? Yes
This is the exact type of storylines I avoid but I couldn't stop myself from watching this drama. The reason why I started watching it is because I love racing circuits but something about it made me so much invested in it. SO many things were happening all at once with racing, human trafficking, sub gender omegaverse, special power, love story , betrayal etc. etc but it definitely made me invested enough not to drop the series midway.The plot might have few holes however the suspense was there. I didn't know exactly whom to trust. Othe rthan Tony there were not set villain. Everyone were just pawns of Tony. At one point I felt liek Charlie and Jeff are working for TOny and then few more clues we got debunking it. The plot twists were great and made my jaw drop.
In terms of acting everyone did amazing. Pavel aced his emotional scenes to the point he made me cry. SPecal mention to Nut Supunut for playing a character completely opposite of him and making it so believable I thought that is real life personality as well. Also I usually don't like when there are too many couples but this one I loved all the side couples (and potential side couples... S2 I am looking at you.)
The direction and the cinematography was nice. The romance felt a little loose and should have been highlighted more. We didn't get to see them develop feelings for each other as much however the post relationship scenes were well done. The racing and everything else were filmed efficiently which created a thrill.
Again I am not sure why even I watched this when Omegaverse is not my thing but this is a show you can 100% gossip about.
Anyways I LOVE YOU NUT

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.

I can't ever trust reviews, this wasn't good
yea, this series wasn't good, but I'm still gonna watch season 2 some day since I'm a completionistanyways, I really only like two characters, which are Kim and Sonic, and that's mostly because the plot didn't care about them enough to be handed the bad script the main group got
I also liked Pavel's acting, I like the raw emotions he portrayed for his character Babe, but I feel like him doing so made the already bad story and scene worse (don't know if that makes sense)
if you're hoping to get the omegaverse you know from like novels and comics, it's not here, actually, whatever semblance of it they wanted to have in the show hardly ever mattered since it wasn't utilized properly
also, strangely enough, I feel like the racing wasn't important either, but to be fair I got frustrated after some episodes and took breaks in between so maybe I just can't remember the racing (or there wasn't enough to remember
in conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this, the pacing is all over the place, the story is frustrating, and Charlie clearly had teleportation powers but nobody batted an eye to it!

A Beautiful Blend of Love, Loss, and Superpowers
I loved all the storylines in the series.Thanks to this drama, I discovered new actors that I adore, but above all, I really like the chemistry between Pooh and Pavel.
It's a drama about love, hardship, loss and “superpowers”.
SPOILER ALERT
My favourite scene was Pavel's performance when Pooh died in his hospital bed and all the scenes that followed until we find out that Pooh is actually alive. He really brought the scene to life for us viewers in a phenomenal way.

So-so Drama
Pavel's acting was great but I do not like the acting of his partner. It has a good story too, but maybe I am not that interested with the plot that's why it made me bore after watching the first episodes of the series.Still, better than other Thai dramas that I have watched since it has a unique story line.

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
