back to square one (uncut version)
Overall: I enjoyed how Pit Babe was different from most BL, but I wish there had been less nonsense writing and noble idiot tropes. Here is my review of season 1 https://kisskh.at/profile/blcompilations/review/31727913 episodes about 45 minutes each. Uncut version aired on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/qlw2ei88cg?lang=en_us&sh_pltf=4 ; cut version aired on YouTube (I'm guessing NSFW is cut shorter, not available in North America, Central America, South America, UK, Australia, Southeast Asia, Korea or Japan) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc3B9DM2kKP7vC_8E0mCBU7G27St3LqM5&si=wrOib7pJ5705qgdH

What I Liked
- fun racing sequences
- visuals
- chemistry/intimacy (ready for and interested in more)
- sweet moments
- mystery element
- production value
Room For Improvement
- established couples had terrible communication, noble idiot tropes
- idiotic plans
- too much time spent mourning a character who did some really terrible things, I think they should have stuck with showing short grief scenes with a couple characters instead of that scene with everyone in episode 1
- once again we had a ton of characters (and new ones were added), there wasn't really a re-cap from season 1 and I was struggling to remember who some of the characters were/their relationship to other characters
- too much time spent on nonsense plot stuff instead of relationship development
- amnesia trope
- nonsense plot stuff (police aren't aware or involved at all???, believing people because they say so, not having security, etc)

chemistry charlie and babe
This episodes, Charlie character is amazing. When he gets angry at Babe, Charlie face is so scary. I like to see when Charlie is angry and jealous of Babe. I really like their acting. The emotions they portray are improving. Theirs chemistry is very cool and great. I very enjoy to watch Pit Babe S2, This drama is very good.Was this review helpful to you?

I had no expectations and still was disappointed by the nonsensical plot choices and bland ending
Not going to lie, Pit Babe Season 1 is definitely not a series I would recommend as it is deeply flawed. Still, I wanted to give a shot to the Season 2 as I thought it could explore the lore more and provide a more satisfactory take on this very specific universe as well as on the various characters.However, the writing was particularly weak. It first approached some interesting ideas but very quickly fell apart with characters making all the bad choices and a too easy ending. Another big issue was the numerous secondary couples : there were so many of them that it was impossible for me to really care about any. As in Season 1, the fantasy universe was not exploited enough : instead of developing the lore, the scenario got stuck on one note.
It is not all bad, as I quite enjoyed the performance of Pavel as Babe. He delivered some solid acting moments despite all the cringe factors from the script. His chemistry with Pooh (playing Charlie) was very good and probably the main reason I completed the series. Production was also good overall, even if some fight scenes could definitely have been better, they did not feel too cheap. The OST was quite enjoyable at first but clearly became too much as it was overused.
I would not recommend this to people as there are better BLs out there. If you had already mixed feelings regarding Season 1, this Season 2 will certainly not change your mind.

Just no! If you like Pit Babe you are better off not watching this.
This is why really good shows shouldn't have second seasons. This was bad I mean like What the Duck, 2gether, Check Out bad. It was painful to watch how stupid and naive they made all of them. Friends are going behind each other's backs cooperating with Tony and when everyone else finds out it's just like oh OK no worries we are still cool. The last 2 episodes literally had me yelling at the TV to the point my family asked what was wrong. This is a perfect example of how to ruin a good show. Pit Babe was a good show and idk who needed the money (writer, directors, production) who knows but I have to imagine even the cast was all well we already said we'd do it so we are stuck now. Like my gods I'm am just gobsmacked by just how bad this was. I played the it's going to get better game for 11 episodes and by then I just had to power through. 🤦♀️Was this review helpful to you?
Waste of Time
Welp, it’s official down from that 8.0 rating and honestly, I was just waiting for it to drop 🥴. The drama had potential, it really did.. until Willy’s character got side lined and everything just slid into meh territory. The action? A whole 1%. Some of the acting? Oof. It’s painful watching others improve while a few folks act like growth is optional. No aura, zero charisma, dialogue flatter than a pancake (I won’t name names, but whew 😬). They had all the time in the world to deliver drama, but clearly, romance was the only priority. And that daily car race? Still scratching my head over its purpose. Cool concept, but execution? Mid.Was this review helpful to you?

Fast Paced Thriller With Interesting Characters!
Continuation of the hit supernatural Thai-BL and adapted from the novel of the same name, “Pit Babe The Series Season Two” is a series full of race cars, mysterious happenings, and supernaturally powerful beings. From the first episode, we start seeing competitions, new decisions, arrival of new characters and the return of some old ones grambling with mysterious incidents. Babe (Pavel Naret), the undefeated king of the racing track loses his crown when new rookie racer, Willy (Milk Natchanon) beats him in a race.The first episode starts with Pavel, who is playing the title character, Babe having a nightmare followed by Charlie (Pooh Krittin), calming him down. Kim (Benz Atthanin), another racer in X- Hunter company resigns to move forward with his career, to be honest I am very invested in his story and wish to see where his story arc and character goes. Another new twist in the story is that Way/Chris (Nut Supanut) is back (but is he? Or is it someone else?). I wish that Pete (Ping Orbnithi) could find his closure or get his happy ending in this season. Despite taking the power sealing power, Jeff is still getting his visions, and predicting future predicaments related to his colleagues in X-Hunter. The second episode follows up with the confusion that occurs when Chris joins Pete’s company as their new researcher. He looks exactly like Way, who is presumably dead. Tony who was declared dead also returns to play the antagonist. He promptly kidnaps Kenta (Garfield Pantach) and Winner (Pop Pataraphol) to assist him in his attempts to destroy X-Hunter again. In the midst of this chaos, Willy tries to flirt with Babe. I am a little skeptical about Willy’s character as I have zero idea of what he is planning to do.

10/10 BL
BL, Romance, Car racing, Omegaverse. Will keep you on the edge. Love this drama. Introduced a new genre in the bl industry. The alphas, omegas and the enigmas. It is very interesting and nice to watch. The actors did very well and can't wait to watch the second season. Babe was all serious until he met Charlie and he became hopelessly in love.Charlie will do anything to make Babe happy and keep him safe. In all it is a good series but did not like the way they rushed the ending. They all did not act surprised when they saw Charlie alive after seeing him die, it was as if they knew about his plans to fake his death.
