CAST: Alice Ko, Zhai Zilu

DIRECTOR: Huang Ying Xiang

Based on Jiao Tang Dong Gua’s novel of the same name, this drama follows the journey of Chen Mobai, a young man with a lifelong dream of becoming a professional motor racer and representing China in the “Super Formula” race circuit.

Along the path to realizing his dream, he crosses paths with Shen Xi, an engineer who moonlights as a tea waitress, who is a mechanical engineer and holds a hidden expertise in liquid dynamics. Her brother was an ace racer who died in a car crash, and since then, she lost faith in her own abilities. A doctorate in Chemical Engineering, she hides behind clear glasses, her face, and her ability.

When Mobei realizes her potential, he tries to get her back into the pit, but as soon as he realizes that she is the sister of his mentor and idol, he understands her psychological trauma and backs off.

Meeting Chen Mobai and getting a whiff of tires back in her life is the nudge she needed to move back into the pit.

Chen Mobai’s unwavering passion and determination gradually inspire Shen Xi to confront her feelings. She helps Mobai navigate his path towards the race. In that process, Mobai realizes what a vital ally he has in her. Mobai’s sister, Mofai, is a strong businesswoman who helms their family business, but the two siblings have layers of misunderstanding between them.

Mofai realizes the potential of Shen Xi and asks her to move into the Engineering department. Still in her trauma and hesitation, Shen Xi refuses.

The drama set up against the competitive motor car racing industry is a great watch. The lead actors bring their own specific quirkiness to the screen, leading to a lot of realistic scenes. If you want to the see the behind-the- scenes precision, engineering, blood, sweat and tears that go into making of a race car driver win- this is an exciting series to watch.
