This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans (2024)

Melhor do q eu esperava! Não vou mentir q n tinha muitas expectativas pra esse bl, mas no fim ele superou minhas expectativas. É um bl bem divertido de assistir, ótimo para distrair e passar o tempo.
A história é bem simples e leve, como é curtinha n achei enjoativo. Adorei a abordagem da cozinha na série, a cinematografia e os pratos ficaram ótimos! Também gostei bastante da produção, achei q ficou bem feita.
O enredo n é complexo, na vdd é uma história meio clichê.
Tanto o casal principal quanto o secundário tem uma química absurda!! Adorei acompanhar esses casais.
Por fim, gostei! Recomendo bastante pra quem quer ver uma série pra descontrair.

Spy-Pon Chemistry is Explosive

The title “This Love Doesn’t Have Long Beans” is based on the Thai dish Pad Kaprao. It is a popular dish that some believe traditionally comprises meat, holy basil leaves, chili, and fish sauce. However, there has been some controversy over these ingredients as others prefer to make their Pad Kaprao with chopped long beans, baby corn, and mushrooms.

In “This Love Doesn’t Have Long Beans”, Pad Kaprao is more than just a dish, it’s a way of life. As the series unfolds, we discover the motivations, and passions of Plawan, Oab, and the rest of the ensemble. The show blends humor with heartfelt moments that together create a “flavorful” series. Here are 3 things I loved and hated about the show.

The chemistry between both of the couples is phenomenal!!!

I fell in love SailubPon in Pitbabe and so I was really excited to watch another show with them. Their chemistry was on top! I loved seeing their relationship slowly develop. The show was really entertaining since they added the cooking contest storyline. I personally found this quite refreshing as it was different from all of the other highschool/college romance bls. But even though I started watching for SailubPon I gotta admit that I finished for Garfield and Benz. These two absolutely stole my heart. I only wish they had more screen time and i am PRAYING for another show with them. Their chemistry was simply mind blowing and I really loved their acting. These two have so much potential!

Better than expected

This was better than expected, but overall it's still an average, typical thai romcom BL.

Let me start with this: I am SO glad that Supanut was not in this series, because I was able to focus on the cast (unlike in Pit Babe, where I only saw, felt, loved, hated Way, thanks for that Nut)...

All in all, I already kind of made notes of Benz, Sailub and Lee in Pit Babe, so I was happy to see all of the here.

CAST:
I loved everyone, except Pon's character... I think I've seen almost all of Pon's work, and I yet have to see a character of his that I like. Nothing against Pon, he is OK, but his characters just irritate me...

The rest, I was having a blast with. Benz is a new addition to my fav list, and I loved Methas so much! His happy smile was everything, I would re-watch the whole series just to see him happy again. Benz's acting is very very balanced, I loved watching all of Methas' sides (loved how layered this character was, not the usual black and white villain).

Garfield took me in fast too, surprisingly, because in Pit Babe he was a bit meh for me, but loved him here. His acting and their chemistry with Benz was FIRE...

Sailub, OMG I already loved Alan but Oab? His acting was just sooooo on point, his range of emotions he can display only with his eyes is amazing, and he's got great comic timing too. Another addition to my fav actor list.

Lee... I just love him. I need to see him in a lead role, any role (REALLY looking forward to I am the most beautiful count). SO TALENTED, I'd say second best to Supanut in this bunch (fight me, idc but Supanut is a superior actor, and not just under Change2561 but all in all, and no one can convince me otherwise).

STORY:
It was ok, there were some scenes I cringed or just fast forwarded a bit (boring, filler etc etc), but I am glad I watched this series, it did make me laugh and I enjoyed it.
The first few episodes were a bit of a drag, but once they got into the stories, it picked up.

Despite the averageness, I still think Change2561 is producing quality stuff, the direction is ok, picture and sound too, and music was also ok, esp the songs not sung by the cast members... (sorry, but I will never understand why the thai BL industry must force these boys to sing, even the ones, who CAN'T... it should be normalized for these boys / men to NOT sing).

The main couple had one problem for me: Wan... his character REALLY irritated me, but Pon and Sailub's chemistry was great, and it helped a lot tbh, but not enough apparently, because the second couple took the show for me, I ADORED them every second they were on screen.

Sorry for the messy review, it's almost midnight and I just finished watching it.

Aside from Benz's performance, almost all the actors who played in this series did a wonderful job! One31 really took care of their stars from each series. I knew Sailub and Pon from Pit Babe, and honestly, I never thought they would make such a great main couple in another series.

I’m honestly getting annoyed by the number of sex scenes portrayed in this series. I love both of them and enjoy seeing them together, but those bed scenes were too much.

This series could have ended easily if Chef Oab had done what the audience expected, but I guess the way P' Nui steered the story in a different direction was surprising. Especially after the scene in Episode 7. I never thought it would take another 50 minutes to finish, but they proved that this series is worth watching until the end.

The side couple always attracts my attention. In this show, Khun Methas and JJ's relationship had a significant influence on how the series progressed. I really hated Garfield in Pit Babe, but he proved to his fans that he deserved another chance. Meanwhile, Benz's character, Khun Methas, was the most developed in the series. Even though his acting was the weakest, I appreciate his effort to make the series more engaging.

This love definitely didn’t talk about long beans

I was super excited when this series was announced because I really loved Sailub and Pon in Pitbabe and I was robbed of Benz and Garfield. I felt this series had its ups and downs, but overall the series was really good and I don’t regret watching it however that last episode didn’t need to be and hour and thirty minutes long. Just a warning that spoilers are ahead.

The plot was something because I’ve never seen a drama focusing on a basil themed restaurant and a basil lowering YouTuber that now wants to be a chef in order to get money. Plawan was a YouTuber who’s channel focused on his lover for anything basil, but he went to Oab’s restaurant and he wouldn’t let him film so when Oab was looking to hire a new owner for his restaurant since he lost his passion Plawan tried out for it. Also at the same time Plawan went with his bff JJ to gain money for competing to win the restaurant with Metas because they won’t let him take it over since he won’t keep the restaurant, but would turn it into a mall. Then there was a whole entire survival show about who’s gonna take over Oab’s restaurant based on skills and at first you felt that’s Plawan would definitely not make it too the end because he really isn’t the best compared to others, but the final four were Plawan, Auto, Pansip, and Kluea. I felt bad for Auto since he wanted to win so his family can get money, but it was wrong stealing recipes. Then sadly my favorite got voted out which was Pansip, but luckily he was working at Nubnuengs restaurant because he actually ate there. At the same time Plawan was starting to date Oab and also dealing with the Metas problem until Kluea also had feelings for Plawan and Oab’s ex came back from studying aboard since her dad became sick and now she kinda wants to date Oab and wants everything to go back the way it was before. It was kinda getting messy and I felt the downfall of my interest came at this point of the show and too the end. But I will say that it went uphill with JJ and Metas!!!! I was so happy I didn’t get robbed of them again because they carried this show. So basically JJ is a psychical therapist who now has to take care of his enemy Metas because of Plawan making a deal with Metas and JJ doesn’t fully trust him. Then JJ got assigned to assist Metas with his bad knee and now has to make his knee get better and I have to say I was squealing so much because of how cute they were and especially that bathroom scene and those movie theatre scenes. I also have to say that JJ has full control of Metas because he will do anything he says if he gets to stay with him. Also that’s last scene where JJ has that giant diamond ring and his showing it off cause their engaged like I was screaming so much!! Also Oab where’s Plawans ring? Cause I don’t see it yet. Okay but overall even thought this show had its ups and downs it was overall a pretty good show and I do recommend it.

Long beans Were really looooong

I saw this drama after reading the blurb. It looked promising but felt flat towards the end. The story of deceiving young love, businessman making profits by all means ,hunk chef who is too arrogant and good friends who support the idiocy of main leads and plays cupid. Wow!! all spices delivered. To be honest chef oab, JJ and Metas were portrayed really well but Plawan was annoying from begininng till end. Metas character showed so much improved throughout the show. I simply loved JJ. The romantic scenes were hot and chemistry between both couples were off the chart.

What I not liked -
1. Plawan (sorry I couldn't connect with the character)
2. Ending was rushed like a hell
3. Needed more metas JJ moments
4. Renowned chef making instant noodles ???
5. Kluer's pettiness though Oab can give him a fair competition in that department

THERE WAS A LOT OF TOO MANY

Overall the Series was good, it was okay but I have not learned anything about it, it was just a funny romantic and emotional at the same time given the situation the characters have. I have seen a lot of story concept as this, falling in love with someone who in the end have deceived you all along, but it was okay. I did not know if understood the drama enough but I quite did not know why P'Oab is angry with Khun Metat, or maybe because Khun Metat was just an arrogant rich business man who wants to take over his beloved restaurant. The drama was full of kissing scene , I became tired of it, at first I had butterfly but when there was a love scene and kissing scene with P'Oab and Plawan in almost every episodes Its tiring, but I really salute them because, they really did a great job doing that thing, they seems careless. The competition was annoying, and the idea of P'Oab of looking for a successor was annoying and chaotic , I got distracted of how P'Oab was always angry and having a high tone one the kitchen, or maybe that's really how it works for those who works at the kitchen , I really have no Idea but I am just having an honest review here. I was actually still glad I finished this series. The last part specially when P'Oab and Plawan reconciled, that probably my most favorite part, and now guys are really getting married here so its time to say good bye to every girl in Thailand HAHAH.
I must say the pairing of the lead was okay but I got the feeling that P'Oab is more suited in a Hetero roles, and his super long eyelashes is a lot ! , and Plawan really looks like Book Kasidet the way he acts and his body posture, but it was okay, both did a great job. Also the drama got boring on the middle part specially when the ex came back .. they are so annoying HAHAH . I don't really know if I will be watching this again, PS. P'Oab was so Hot by the way and seems to have no problem kissing a guy ! and to be honest I do not find this pair suited, I think Sailub needs a better pair if it is not too much, coz I honestly cannot absorb this pair .. all in all it was good , good to annoy us all AHHAHA just joking .

Tell them, tell 'em, tell them the truth

And we are here. That was a pretty good show. Good job. 9.125 out of 10, so round down to 9 out of 10. This was actually really good, like in hindsight, there are a few things wrong with it, but it is actually pretty good. And this is my breakdown of it lol.

I finished this show in 19 hours, go me. I would have finished it in 8 hours, but I was lazy and waited. We meet Wan everyone's favorite food blogger. I like most people watching this, am here from Pit Babe because it's the same people just focused on a different couple, which was nice. There was a lot of second embarrassment lol. I really liked the actor's dynamic and this really carried over in this, but they were flipped. Instead of the nonchalant and mean younger one, this time chef was the nonchalant mean one. Good to see and I think that did that really well. Chef X Blogger was the vibes and a lot of the soundtrack, besides the intro, was fucking bumping. It was so good. Interesting trope broke bitch x chef. They showed Los Angeles and I was in denial for the rest of the show, because it didn't look like it lol. The cooking competition was a really good idea and it was not at all how I thought the show was going. JJ, who played Kenta in Pit Babe looks so cute when he is normal and not a figurehead. JJ and Wan were a cute dynamic because it showed how JJ has soft spots for stupid bitches. His trying to beat up a billionaire is crazy. The fits in this were fire, shout out whoever was on outfits. JJ is Wan and everyone in this show's biggest hater. Wan was also so baddie core.

I made my predictions about Wan winning the competition and of course, I was right. I was calling Wan a biggie. I also said that Kluer was going to be evil, but I guess I was right. But not really. The only thing was that the selling restaurant thing just didn't add up and if I was with Wan and I had bills to pay so I don't go homeless I would also lie. Brokie things I guess. The whole basil-smelling thing was actually really funny. Auto's body was making me wanna act UP. Me when me when me me when. Me when sexy man body, me when. Chef right off the bat violating Wan, and I really like the pacing of this, because I think it was pretty good. One thing, I feel like they could have developed their relationship more, it felt very jumpy and I am just like a little more development I beg.

Not even going to lie I am obsessed with their dynamic of clumsy and aggressive but still care. Chef's rizz was so bad, I can't. I actually fucking hate restaurants like that, that have set menus and you can't order anything but that. I talked about JJ's job and his anger issues. They used the same clips a lot lol. Metas has no one to take care of him? Oh no, something to make JJ's heartless ass feel bad lol. JJ is such an empath I can't. Wan is obsessed with basil because of his mom, that's actually really sweet. And once again I feel like they could have developed their crushes a little more because it feels a little rushed. 

Wan ate too much stir fry and his modeling career was ruined lol. Chef's memories of his ex changing into Wan were very cute. I felt like I was actually watching a cooking show lol. Metas and JJ have the same personality with the whole asshole empath, that is why they clash. The soundtrack was fucking bumping. JJ has no game at all lol.

Irl and in character, JJ and Metas have a lot of tension and I think that's why their couple was so good. I kept saying "The longer you wait wan the more it is gonna hurt." And then Wan tried to use JJ as leverage which he ended up doing lol. Great NC scene. This just explains itself lol. "44:40 Why is wan slim thick? He got no ass but looks like an hourglass. BIG BOOTY ALL IN MY FACE. I can't even focus on the plot anymore lol. He sees him as his father bro that's even sadder. I am gonna be so honest I don't even know what happened at the end because of that big booty. Why is wan slim thick bro? Ten out of ten because of his ass lol. Does that make me shallow or a horny teenage boy? Both." Um yeah, so that happened and that's why the review is higher than it should be lol.

Once again "The longer you wait the more it is gonna hurt." and the show was making "me so fucking hungry." It still is as I am editing this review lol. Money can buy you everything but love. That's something that opened my eyes a lot actually during this. Metas talks about how he only does financial investments and doesn't waste his money, but in the end moved heaven and hell for his man, who he didn't even know was going to be his man. Also, Chef when his actions actually have consequences and he can't just rebound back to him when he wants him again. He should have made it clear he didn't want Kao Suay from the start, but no. And Kluer with kissing a sleeping and drunk person.

So why are you trying to kiss him if he's drinking too much? Haven't we learned anything? Be fucking for real. I was asking how long they were going to be happy for. I was lowkey praying that their downfall happened sooner because I could not take this impending doom. Not even joking, didn't know that Metas was courting him. Good for JJ, doing anything for his friend. That's such a jit move. My sister thinks Metas is very hot. "He's got that freaky look." Uh, I was with Wan through and through because he had no actual mal intent, he just couldn't afford his rent, like how is it his fault that he is broke?

Pretty good ending to a good show. I will miss them lowkey. This show was ruining my mental health earlier at school today lol, it was not good. I did not think he was going to win the competition at all. Wan was so willing to drop everything and risk being homeless to prove his love. Quote of the day by me: "Kill yourself Wan and then make it so he will feel bad." And then I was blaming Metas for everything. "Metas literally caused every single problem in this show, with his wealth. Being alone isn't fun." "Metas redemption we love to see it. Good on him for apologizing. I am gonna be so honest I did not think he was going to come around and this is the ending I wanted, them getting freaky. HE PROPOSED NO FUCKING WAY. That waiting for him was such a slow blow I can't lol" That was a good ending and it was what I was expecting so I am happy. Uh, and that's it. I recommend it lol. Okay bye!
