What a gem
I wasn’t expecting to see Earth Pirapat in a Singapore series, let alone a series where he speaks Mandarin, but well, what a gem this turned out to be!!Earth plays Tae, a Thai swimmer whose mum disapproves of his dreams. His dialogue features a combination of Mandarin, English, and a smattering of Thai, which is really quite amazing if you ask me – I cannot imagine how stressful it must be to deliver lines in (what I assume to be) a completely foreign language.
Compared to the other characters, Earth doesn’t have as many lines in the show, but serious airtime is dedicated to his story. So if you’re a fan of Earth (and swimming), yes, you might want to check this show out.
Plotwise, Victory Lap doesn’t have anything particularly well-developed or complex to offer. But unlike some other series which are all over the place, Victory Lap has decent storytelling and pacing. The story is also driven by its characters - each of the swim club members come with their own problems (and secrets) and I would have liked for the series to be longer so that there’s room to explore everybody’s backstory.
What you can expect from this show: A wholesome swim club story, some comic relief and romance, lots of camaraderie and friendship.
