Taken at face value, Pit Babe appears to be yet another BL fuelled by s3x and pretty boys. But it’s not as formulaic as one would expect for a BL involving racing.

What I like about Pit Babe is that nothing is ever as it seems. The story is permeated with a constant sense of danger and uncertainty, given the many unknowns at play.

As a rival racing club gains ground and Babe’s testy relationship with his adoptive father worsens, the story takes fun twists and turns around various characters, whose special powers are slowly revealed.

The Pit Babe universe is imaginative and original, but it is unfortunate that the ending was sloppy and rushed. The conflict was resolved a little too easily, and the scene in the final episode between Way and Babe certainly did their relationship a disservice.

The sizzling relationship between Babe and Charlie was what I stayed for. While there was a side couple, I'm sure most would agree that the BL was hard carried by Pavel (what a glow-up!!!) and Pooh.

Babe and Charlie, played by Pavel and Pooh respectively, have great chemistry. The casting was on point for the characters, they seemed genuinely comfortable with each other. This is peak Pavel!!!
