Started off eagerly awaiting every Friday's Pit Babe, but now, I'm jotting down a mix of disappointment with the plot and characters.

Let's talk strategy, or the lack of it, with Tony's challengers. They're like headless chickens in a storm, emotions blazing, strategy missing. Cheering for them feels like rooting for a sinking ship.

Babe, our childhood-trauma-scarred hero, is now just a vulnerable guy who trusts no one. His superpowers? More of a curse than a charm. What was once an electrifying character in the racing world now fizzles out in dull non-racing scenes. His humor's lost its sparkle, and his oblivion to Way's feelings? Facepalm-worthy. His fiery confrontations with Tony? Like a moth playing with fire.

Then there's Charlie, the puppy-eyed adolescent with a hero complex for Babe. He's like a kid with a shield, thinking he can protect Babe but lacking any real plan to take on Tony. His role? A sidekick in a romantic subplot, not the mastermind we need.

And Alan, when Jeff's released, all he wants is a reunion, not a revolution against Tony. No vendetta against Tony means Alan's just cruising in a romantic comedy lane, not the action-packed highway.

Jeff, our escape artist, bizarrely walks back into Tony's den. Does he think he's invincible? He's got this whole future-seeing dilemma and a lukewarm flirt-fest with Alan, but honestly, it's hard to get on his fan bus.

Kenta sticks close to Tony, anger simmering but never boiling over. His rebellion? Non-existent. He ends up as Tony's prisoner, not a game-changer.

Kim, another racer from abroad, dreams of a fair track duel with Babe. Dives into the detective world, clashes with Tony, and guess what? Ends up as Tony’s captive. Not exactly the plot twist we hoped for.

And Pete, oh Pete. Adopted by Tony, turns rich businessman with a secret anti-Tony mission. Sounds like a lead character, right? Wrong. He's collecting evidence on the down-low, which could crown him the mastermind, but his screen time? Blink and you'll miss it.

In the end, Tony's downfall is inevitable—good always beats evil, right? But with their current hit-and-miss tactics, I'm worried the show will keep losing its charm, and these characters? They'll just be part of a forgettable tale.

I usually reserve my late-night, Japan-time marathons for BL series I adore. A few extra face masks? A small price to pay for a BL binge. But with this plot twist turning less twisty and more yawn-inducing, I guess I'll wait for the full season to drop. Then, on some lazy day, armed with a stack of face masks and zero expectations, I'll power through it. It's like waiting for the last piece of a puzzle – you're not sure it's worth it, but hey, you've come this far!

Ah, the dance of trust and betrayal, ever so crucial to the drama's allure. Watching Babe's tears cascade, it dawned on me – I've never wept like that, ever. (Isn’t it remarkable how some can cry with such soul-shattering intensity?)

I haven't delved into the original novel; my weekly ritual is simply to dive into each episode of this series. Lately, my disappointment has been strikingly vivid.

It’s a curious twist, seeing a race car driver morph into a detective, trading the grip of a steering wheel for the art of combat. Yet, there's a palpable void - the absence of a clever, strategic mind at the helm.

Such a shame, really! An overabundance of product placements has tragically shrunk Pete's role, who, in my eyes, is the epitome of cunning and cleverness.

In the hospital, Day's encounter with Mork was marked by a smile as brilliant as the sun itself, radiating warmth and light.

Their “first” date blossomed into an unforgettable experience of joy. As Mork painted a picture with words of a mouth crowned with hearts, Day gently reached out, tracing Mork's features with a soft touch. When their lips finally met, it was as if they were living out the very painting Day had envisioned in his mind—a moment both touching and awe-inspiring.

Despite the possibility that the surgery might not succeed and Day might remain without sight, I remain steadfast in my belief that their love will perpetually inspire us. My prayers have been, and continue to be, for Day's sight to be restored in the next chapter of "Our Skyy 3."

Next thing you know, they’ll be battling it out with leg warmers and neon scrunchies! 😂🕺💃🎶”

Little dude’s name is Porsche, but post two-week nap, he’s more ‘Lawnmower’ than luxury car.😅🤣

Binged yesterday’s episode and then boom, out like a light! Seriously, was that two-week break just to lull us into a snooze-fest? Talk about a plot twist - from drama to dreamland in one episode!

Alright, how about we compromise and play ‘Love is a Battlefield’ instead? Because let’s face it, this show’s ‘love’ is more like navigating a minefield in a clown car – utterly chaotic and oddly entertaining. ‘Old Romantic Blues’ for when they’re moon-eyed, and ‘Love Stinks’ for when the reality of their ‘delu delu’ hits. As for therapy, at this point, the whole cast needs a group discount. And co-dependency? More like a recipe for a ‘How Not to Date’ manual. Stay tuned for next week’s episode: ‘Group Therapy Gone Wild’! 🤣🎵💔

Oh my gosh, right? When they started going all ‘soft and gentle’ with the series, I was like, ‘Who swapped my spicy drama with this vanilla soap opera?’ 😂 We tuned in for the wild ride, not a lullaby!

LOL Honey, you need to crash the writer’s room, like, yesterday! Starting with episode six, they’re practically screaming for a splash of your fabulous flair. It’s like they say, ‘Save the script, save the show!’ 🌟✍️💁‍♀️

Maybe the post-production team decided to ‘remix’ the New Year’s break - by turning their holiday into a work-from-home disaster episode!🤣

In the latest twist, 'Playboyy' has come back from its two-week nap, armed with what seems like a biology degree. This quirky BL drama has hilariously morphed into an impromptu ecology classroom. Imagine every smoldering look and tender touch between the characters now paired with a commentary on 'mutualism' or 'parasitism', transforming the campy scenes into something resembling a wildlife documentary. It's as if David Attenborough hijacked the scriptwriting, creating a unique Thai BL meets nature documentary mashup. Who knew ecological relationships could add such fun... and so much unresolved tension?

Adding to the hilarity, the scene with First and Soong turned into a post-production comedy, with their lip movements hilariously out of sync with the dubbed voices, reminiscent of a poorly dubbed kung fu movie.

Meanwhile, Nont's time warp adds to the fun. He arrives at Nuth's place at 8 PM, but then there's a message from Prom timestamped at 10 PM. What exactly was Nont doing for two hours? Perhaps circling the block on the motorbike, perfecting his brooding look?

And let's not forget Zooey. Our boy Zooey – has he stealthily graduated from the not-so-virgin club? The plot, much like our curiosity, certainly thickens!

I called it quits at episode seven, for the simplest of reasons: it was a major downer.

Here's my two cents:

With every twist, the plot thickened into a soup of chaos and misery. Sunshine, in a bold but misguided move, attempts to erase his ex's gal pal from existence. Lo and behold, this lands him in a reality where his love had checked out years ago. Talk about a cosmic backfire.

Here lies more than a love story gone awry; it's a deep dive into the philosophical realms of time, choice, and the butterfly effect. Sunshine's conundrum throws us a curveball about happiness: it's not a prize won by rewriting history. Nope, it's about taking the cards you're dealt with a shrug and moving on from boo-boos.

And then there's the million-dollar question: If Sunshine gets the bright idea to have 'Cupid the Reaper' zap him out of the picture, isn't he just playing hide and seek with his problems?

Whether Sunshine opts for the grand exit strategy or finds a saner route through his heartache maze is the crux of the tale. It's a narrative cocktail of love, decisions, and the aftermath, with a twist of time, universe, and the quest for self-salvation. Amidst this narrative labyrinth, it dawns on me: true transformation is an inside job, not a magic trick.

High five 🙌

Almost 3 AM and here I am, uncorking some midnight magic in a wine bottle. Meanwhile, in the world of late-night plot twists, our boys finally decided to rewrite ‘just friends’ into ‘more than that’. And it’s as real as it gets - no dream sequence, no fantasy. The best part? Their kisses were so earth-shattering that the entire Kao mystery subplot just evaporated from my mind.

"Last Twilight" is so vivid that it gave me an illusion: as if this drama was adapted from real life events. Its emotional depth and narrative artistry masterfully blur the line between fiction and reality, irresistibly drawing one into its exquisitely crafted world.

Somehow, I've hit a point where every character is as gripping as a wet noodle. I'm so uninvested now, I could be watching paint dry and not know the difference!

This series no longer 'revs up' my interest; with racers turning into detectives, the plot's more tangled than a race track at rush hour.

My eye makeup's smeared, and my eyes are puffy from crying. Inside, there's a mix of heartache and warmth. The only thing in my head is "seize the DAY."

Thank you for your passionate response! It seems my review stirred more than just interest in the show. Just to clarify, my appreciation for the series is rooted in its storytelling and the depth of its narrative, not in fetishizing any aspects of it. It's great to see a show sparking such strong reactions, though - it means they must be doing something right with their storytelling, doesn't it?

Ah, the classic ‘fujoshi shaming’ - how refreshing! You see, being a fujoshi is less about fetishizing and more about celebrating all forms of love through the art of storytelling. It’s like being a gourmet of narratives, where every flavor, whether it’s BL, thriller, or mystery, has its unique appeal. And just like a gourmet, a true fujoshi seeks depth, character development, and a gripping plot. So, in the spirit of good taste, let’s appreciate the diverse banquet of stories out there, shall we?

Even though some of the dialogues and plot twists had me puzzled, I was hooked till the end.
