This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans -2nd round of 10 BL/QL

First things first. 

This is a beautiful man. Like he looked good in Pit Babe, but he was simply irresistible in this, and that was before he started cooking and crying.

The title of this one had me before I even knew what it was about. It's been like a year since I watched a BL, and I knew this was the first one I wanted to start with.

I was not a fan of the sound effects and exaggerated dramatic music moments, but otherwise, this was a 9/10 for me. I was in the mood for something lighthearted and fun, and this absolutely fit the bill. It did everything I wanted it to, and in only 8 episodes, without me feeling like it needed more. Impressive. 

Competitions where everybody helps each other and cares about each other instead of being backstabbing, are my jam. 

I’m not a big enemies-to-lovers trope person, but I have to say that so far that the BLs that I’ve seen do a really good job with it.  And speaking of, holy shit I shipped JJ and Metas so hard.

I’ve already said that sunshine/chaos gremlin is one of my favorite pairings, and they qualify completely. Metas pouty exasperation with the kid and also constantly with Plawan getting any of JJ’s attention is hilarious. 

I’m glad I watched this before checking out Pit Babe 2 because I straight up hated Kenta, and this is going to go a long way to letting me enjoy the Kim/Kenta ship. JJ is awesome. This is the second time a Pit Babe actor whose character I hated like flames licking at the side of my face has completely won me over in another role, so kudos to them. 

Also hilarious? This.

Like, I know it’s supposed to be sad also, but I couldn’t stop laughing long enough. Plawan brought a whole garden into this man's kitchen. Poor JJ.  I loved their friendship. It felt very real. One of those, welp, we met as kids, so now I'm stuck with this idiot for the rest of my life friendships.

My poor baby Pun Sib just tryin’ to live his best life while everybody else had allll the drama going on. He thought he was in a friends-to-lovers romance featuring the shy, geeky boy and his goofy, cocksure buddy, sure, but it’s not his fault he was in the wrong story. He was a delight.

Adults acting mostly like adults and not high school kids when it comes to romance, what? 

Well, not Kleur but the rest of them, yeah. Kleur, on the other hand, was this weird funhouse mirror for me -one minute he read as a sweet, shy guy you feel sorry for, the other as a creepy “good guy” stalker type.

I wanted to like him, even though his hat was giving Jughead, and I’m glad they leaned into the former at the end. 

I was feeling some kind of way about Khao Suay in the beginning because the ex showing back up is a razor wire to walk, but damn, that “Actually, now that I know what true love is, I don’t think I ever really loved you” couch jumping dismissal was brutal. And she took it on the chin like a champ. Completely won me over. 

The show even threw a few surprises at me, and I was verklempt the last 30 mins or so, including shrieking in delight at that proposal. 

Look at how sweet and domestic! 

They’re adorable together. 

Burning questions :

Did they keep both restaurants or just like expand them into one giant one? 

Did Auto’s family restaurant go out of business, or did they just send him back to learn more? 

Did JJ give up physical therapy forever? 

Will the goldfish ever get an actual tank? 

* I legit did not recognize that song from Pit Babe and just giggled when my phone informed me that it was from the OST. 

* *I gotta find some Thai basil chicken soon. I’m lucky I live near a decent number of Thai restaurants. Also, I’mma need some recipes. I feel like granita is also in my future.

divine hell — oab x kluer

kluer always knew that loving oab wouldn't lead anywhere, and no matter what he did to get his attention, nothing would be enough — he wasn't enough to replace khaosuay, it also wasn't enough to replace plawan either.

this is a little something based on a kluer vs oab edit from twitter and I of course, had to experiment a little more with kluer's character :')

[kinnporsche-is-life]

Ok, am I weird (I am, like all of us)? But I can't concentrate at all while watching This love doesn't have long beans and it's totally not fun for me to watch. I know that a similar plot of lying that will probably come out at the very end is in every other BL, but Wan knows how important it is for Oab to not get involved in the business with Methas. Like it’s a really big thing. But MONEY. And I don't really want to do it anymore, but I would have to give the money back and I don't want to look for a way to do it and also I won't tell Oab what the situation is like either. What can go wrong? And you also have the nerve to be jealous of his ex-girlfriend.

Am I exaggerating?

Ugh. JJ, you were supposed to be the knight in shining armor and Methas kept pointing out how kind and selfless you are.

I don’t like all of these people at all.

Kluer is the only nice one. I hope he will stay that way, I’m only at episode 5.

I hope that in the end no one will get involved with anyone. You all deserve to be alone.

I have had nice words with chef and Plawan and chef must be in agreement...? 🤔

[the-bl-road]

Excuse me Chef and Plawan...

I've heard that making up is one the best ever, but Chef just finished cooking those noodles, and he plated it so well too. Could you please not do it next to the plate and oh, you pushed the plate off and there goes perfectly good food.

*sigh* guys come on. I could've eaten that. Can you not waste any more food?

Also, I would not like to be the next chef who moves in, imagine the horror when they find out just what happened in that kitchen besides cooking.

[itsryuworld]

so are you telling me chef oab knew about plawan being methas's spy at THIS moment? that's why he was saying you can't tell or won't tell? and that you can't hide anything from me AND then proceed to have sex with him even tho he knew plawan was lying him?

ok then, i'm fine. chef was so in love with him, i can't even-
