This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans (2024)

Surprisingly Amazing

I actually hesitate to watch this at first, since i wasn't familiar with the actors. But then i saw some fan made videos on youtube and amazed by the chemistry from both main leads. So i decided to binge-watch it, and WOW it didn't disappoint!. From the story wise, acting, chemistry, and everything is soooo good!

Kiss and love scenes on this series have got to be one of the best out of Thai BLs (or even all dramas). We're convinced that they are in love. And what i like about it is every kiss has different urges. We can fee whether it was frustration kiss, passionate kiss, sad kiss, playful kiss, etc. The actors really did excellent job here.

confused why they liked each other lol

oof. this one did not work for me at all. i thought the writing is sooo bad. for a story that has a competition in it, it was so boring and corny (not in a fun way). the dialogues were so bad. i wasn't fond of any of the characters which is so sad. they're all so bland. but most of all, the romance did not make sense to me. i don't understand how those two liked each other. they disliked each other then next thing you know, they're destroying the kitchen area and making out. as i said, i wasn't liking the writing and i think that affects my enjoyment of the characters especially plawan (i'm sorry). i just find him annoying to be honest and i can't believe two people are so into him so quickly. this is making me sad to type because i thought sailub and pon had so much chemistry but these characters in this dream kinda ruined it for me. even the second couple and supporting characters weren't enjoyable to watch. i don't know.... ugh. i'm disappointed.

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 .
