Honestly I've seen worse, but I've seen way way better too

I never write reviews because I'm not as accurate as some of you guys are, and some reviewers here are very professional and helpful. But this BL sent me into a rage fit every time something was off, and I opened the comments only to see people just loving every aspect of it.

The overall drama could have gotten a 6, but I had to take that 0.5 off because of one character in particular.

The story itself was lacking in so many ways, the main character's first 5 minutes set him up to being someone that you most likely wouldn't like if you met him in real life. The only realistic evolution of a relationship is the one between the second couple and even there the plot holes were big enough to fit a small elephant.

The characters that I despised the most were the girl, honestly, she arrives knowing nothing and acts like a lil b? Why? Where is the context for those side eyes and that pettiness? But at least she stops pretty quickly (since everything is rushed anyway)

But what baffles me is that everyone loved Kluer, and found him cute. He seemed nice at first but then he quickly escalated to being kinda creepy to me, to then show his true colors.
And honestly, I hated how he behaved and how he decided that respecting others came after his own personal feelings.

Not cute, pretty annoying and then VERY annoying. Nah, everyone being sorry for him or finding him super cute, while I was literally fuming.

I guess this BL can be someone's cup of tea but if you want a story that makes sense, that isn't rushed, with well-rounded characters, maybe look for a different one.
Else if you're looking for a bl that needed at least another episode, but also felt way too long to watch... give it a go.

This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans is a title long enough to make me excited with what the story is about and consider me pleasantly surprised because I really like this one. I will be honest and say that I am slowly losing interest in watching BL from Thailand but they are the main country who is doing them justice because despite of the good shows they are spewing is a ton of really shitty shows so I am always glad to find ones that are actually good and are presenting a really good story worth exploring. Lucking, This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans is one of them. I want to talk about the title first because this is a really long title and I am really happy with what they did here. The reason being is that they chose a title that will instantly pique your interest as a viewer as what the story is about. It is not a name combination or a something weird or cheesy. Instead, it is something that is carefully thought out and may not be central but served enough relevance to the story to make it worth watching. The story on the other hand is pretty basic haters to lovers trope when Plawan decided to enter a competition where he really knew nothing about just for the money that he will be getting from the rival of the boss so the secret and the main problem was already established but the supposed villain of the story is actually the secondary couple in the show together with Plawan’s bestfriend so he may not be that bad which will lead to you thinking that there will be an easier resolution for the main problem and the betrayal aspect is the only one that would make things worse here and it did. Oab learned about this betrayal and he knew about it long time now but I have to say that I am still surprised with where the story went because it had pretty interesting way of handling the story. They did not rush us towards the ending or at least that is what they think. I still feel rushed and it needed longer healing time but I can somehow forgive them because they were able to establish the relationship of Oab and Plawan smoothly by making us watch the love story slowly grow. This is what made it worth it for me because we got the main storyline going while the relationship is blossoming so that it did not have much things that confused the shit out of me in this. Instead, we got a good beginning to the relationship to actually respect the way that they are communicating. They are communicating with each other really well. It is not perfect but good enough to make you notice and root for them and this is why I did. I am happy with what they did and where they went. I also have huge crush on JJ. I love him.

Enemies to Lover Plot

First of all, I like their acting skills. Although the final episode is kinda rushed (all in this episode is here the conflict and the quick solution and ending). If you also like hot scenes, definitely suggest this one. If you are interested in BL series with the enemies to lovers plot. I will suggest this series. Kudos! Another completed series.

Next to watch?

I don't hate myself enough to finish this

I saw a cut from some NC scene that looked nice and got me here, but I wasn't prepared for how bad this bl is. I really think the high score is just because the NC scenes, because the story makes no sense at all! The mc is hateful and annoying, the chef is whatever (at least he is cute), none of the participants fit the requirements for the competition, especially the mc he never touched a cutlery that wasn't just for eating. Evething happens just because they need to happen to bring the main couple together and not because it makes sense according to the story.
Not even the second couple is good, tragic bg, so he needs to be liked. BORING
also not even funny
I've watched another bad bl recently, but at least the other one I managed to finish it

"Hooked from Start to Finish"

" Omg I am literally OBSESSED with this series !! The characters' interactions gave me SO many butterflies and I couldn't get enough! The chemistry between them is everything and more. I binge-watched the whole thing and I'm still thinking about it. If you haven't watched it yet, YOU NEED TO!! Guess it was one the best bl's out there(my opinion).

Undeniable chemistry

I enjoyed this, I was annoyed at time because of some side characters

Plawan was a bit annoying at first, but not that much to me.

For 8 eps, the flow of the plot was okay and the ending didn’t feel rushed. I didn’t dislike the cooking aspect of the show either

The best thing about this is definitely for me the chemistry between chef and Plawan. And seriously, one of the best kisses I have seen in a BL and we get quite a lot kiss and NC scenes. It was really fire. I loved their bickering and interactions. The breakup was needed and in the end all chef needed was an apology. I liked that.
I still find it funny how chef needed to get some, one last time ahah, before telling Plawan he knew about him working for Meta and leaving

The girl (chef ex) was really annoying and I’m still annoyed it take quite long for chef to set boundaries. Kleen got on my nerves too… but in the end everything got sorted out

For the second couple, I think they were interesting at first and the tension was good. but in the end, didn’t much like them that much. I don’t like how Meeta character became (and this thing with money was annoying), so clingy and everything, I don’t know. And it was pretty slow

Another point, I had some good laughs

So, I recommend, it pretty short, good chemistry and entertaining

PLEASE WATCH

I am actually obsessed with this show, having to wait a whole week for each episode is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I really liked the main couple when they were in pitbabe together and so when I saw that they were going to be starring in their own BL I knew I had to watch it. The first episode was a little slow but after that its literally perfect. The second couple isnt my fav but I am also normally not a huge fan of side couples in general, but if you like that then I think you will enjoy them.
Also the soundtrack is absolutely fire and its like different from the normal bl soundtracks that we always hear.

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.

A very good series

The chemistry between all the actors is amazing and the acting is very solid. The main couple in particular give both phenomenal acting whan it comes to feeling and very good NC scene.
The story, if silly at time, is well written. If the main character can be a little irritating in the first 15min, he will grow on you.
Overall, a very good series, worth watching and rewatching !

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!
