Pit Babe

Pit Babe Season 2 has been a frustrating ride from the beginning. Unfortunately, the final episode cemented what many of us feared: this production was sloppy, rushed, and made with zero care for the craft or the audience.

It felt like the goal was to slap together something just to push to market and make a quick buck, rather than to tell a meaningful story or respect the fans who've supported this series from day one.

What truly pushed the fandom, especially SailubPon (AlanJeff) fans, over the edge was the complete erasure of a scene that had been heavily promoted. Not just by the actors themselves, but by the company. A significant, intimate scene between Alan and Jeff, played by Sailub and Pon, was teased for weeks. It was in the trailer. It was proudly shared by the actors, who spoke about how meaningful it was and how much work went into it. Over three hours of filming, for just that one scene. It was even included in the official photobook, which, let's be clear, fans paid for before the final episode aired.

But when the episode dropped, the scene was gone. Completely cut. No warning, no explanation. Just a choppy jump in the edit where something clearly used to be. The fandom, confused and frustrated, assumed it might be saved for the "uncut" version released on the paid platform, as is often the case with more sensitive scenes. But no, it was missing there too. In what was falsely labeled an "UNCUT" episode. That's not just poor editing. That's false advertising.

This wasn't just a creative choice. It was deception. Fans were sold something we never received. We were manipulated into anticipating and paying for content that was deliberately withheld, with no transparency or accountability. To this day, the company has offered no explanation. We've asked. We've waited. Silence.

What makes this worse is what happened to the actors themselves. Sailub and Pon were made to sit with the rest of the cast and watch the final episode live on camera. You can see them waiting, excited, like the rest of us, to see that scene. Something they worked hard on and had publicly shared their enthusiasm for. The shock and embarrassment when they realized it was cut was painful to watch. Imagine that. Being blindsided on camera by your own company. No warning. No chance to prepare. Just humiliation.

This isn't just about fans being upset over a missing scene. This is about a complete lack of respect for the actors' work, their emotional investment, and the trust of the audience. We're not just disappointed. We're heartbroken and angry. Until the company addresses this with honesty and accountability, that wound will remain wide open.

I've only watched the first three episodes at the time of this review, but I have to admit. This is shaping up to be a possibly really great show.

When it comes to Thai BLs, I have watched many of them, and they can be hit or miss. Like most dramas, they can become a bit formulaic and, in my experience, that's been no exception for Thai BLs, but Pit Babe has got me hooked and eagerly awaiting the next episode each week. It has that feel of what's expected and comfortable, but also gives a breath of something fresh and new.

There's a lot to be appreciated about the show in just the first three episodes, although that Thai BL angsty drama is ever-present, the storyline and execution of the premise has thus far been really well played out.

Storylines set in the omegaverse have always been only a fictional premise that I have read about, but never seen in a show. Pit Babe is actually delving into this incredible fictional universe, even though it's only just dipped its toes into it so far, it's still really fun to see this fantasy idea played out on screen.

I've found myself interested in the side characters and their arcs just as mush as that of the leads, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes. Great job so far with the acting and writing, I really am enjoying it.

It's yet to be seen if the rigors of the Thai BL storyline conformity will set in, but so far, I'm liking it and looking forward to more.

Edit: now that the show is done and over, I am left wanting a bit. I will say the show was good, but not necessarily great. However, it kept me tuned in every week, so for that I will give Pit Babe my respect and love. Regardless of what it was lacking, it still kept me entertained.

BL, romantic, drama, action, thriller, sci-fi, and more in a film😭😭😭😭😭

I know that Thai names are funny and sometimes straight up laughable. But naming Babe for a man? That really got me laughing my butt off. But in all seriousness, funny names aside, this series started off slow paced and kinda boring. The story only starting to get more interesting halfway through the whole series. The first few episodes were kinda dull. I also didn't expect that this series is about people with special abilities. They call it senses, in this series. Kinda like X-Men, but far less cool. Why less cool, you asked? Well, they didn't cultivate this senses more. It's nothing more than an accessories to the plot. Had they used more of it, the story would've been much more interesting to watch. Too bad. Imagine having Professor X in a series only for him to use his mind reading ability once or twice the whole series. Kinda lame.

I'm not really into sport-themed drama, but I saw some good reviews about this series on YouTube so I thought, why not give it a try? Honestly, it was a bit boring at first, the opening scene was all about racing and I almost tuned out. But wow, I did not expect it to get so exciting a few episodes in. Every time there's a race, my heart's racing too literally haha.

And it's not just about racing either. There are a lot of steamy scenes that definitely keep things interesting. When Babe and Charlie first showed up, I wasn't really feeling it. Charlie seemed a little shady and there was no spark for me. But as the story went on, their chemistry totally grew on me.

As for Babe and Way's storyline... man, I feel bad for Way. Like, it's been 10 years and he still hasn't confessed? That part felt kinda unrealistic, but hey, it made the drama more intense.

Overall, I ended up really enjoying the series. It surprised me in the best way.
