This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans (2024) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
Let's see.
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
Here we are again with Plawan,
the Basil Connoisseur,
the channel that’ll take everyone around
to try basil dishes from all over.
And today, we’re at
No Long Beans Basil House.
I heard the chef here is really strict.
No idea what to expect.
Let’s go check it out.
Come on, everyone. Follow me inside!
The door itself is impressive!
And here we are, everyone.
Right when you walk in, you’re hit
with the amazing aroma of basil stir-fry.
The atmosphere is incredible.
There's the table I reserved.
Alright, let's go!
Wow, the plating style
and the restaurant's atmosphere
are absolutely stunning.
The food is here.
Wow.
Just bringing it over.
It smells amazing already!
The plating is absolutely stunning!
Let me get a thumbnail shot.
Let's start tasting it!
Wow, oh my!
It already looks beautiful,
but the taste is
incredibly rich and delicious.
What should I try next? Alright,
let's go with the beef. Beef it is!
Who said you could film a vlog
in my restaurant?
Hey, what's going on?
I'm a big fan of yours!
I'm here to review your restaurant.
Here he is, everyone,
the one and only Chef Oab!
Also known as "The Hellfire Chef".
In the flesh!
Take the plate away.
Hey, wait!
I haven't even started eating yet…
We don't allow filming
that disturbs other customers.
- Please leave.
- Hey, how can you do this, Chef?
It took forever to get a reservation here.
You won't even let me film content?
Hey!
This place is for people who
truly want to enjoy basil stir-fry.
People making shallow review content
are not welcome.
Please leave.
Please put it down gently.
It took me forever
to get a reservation here.
It really did.
How can you treat a customer like this?
Here he is, everyone.
This is the face of Chef Oab.
This is the No Long Beans Basil House.
To all my followers,
don't come to this restaurant.
The food isn't good,
and the service is terrible.
Seriously awful.
You broke the restaurant's rules yourself.
Hey, what is this?
I cook food for people to eat,
not for the camera.
Don't come back again. Go!
Yeah, like I'd ever come back.
This place is terrible.
- What, come on!
- Chef, please don't!
Come on.
You think you're tough? Come on then!
Oh wow!
You think you're a famous Chef?
Do you know that
my channel is way more popular?
I have thousands of subscribers.
You're definitely going
to be famous now, Chef.
Dang it!
Hello?!
Yes, I'll be there right away.
Just a moment, really.
Alright, goodbye.
Just remember this.
WELCOME
Face forward.
Wow, looking sharp! This is perfect.
Wow, very solid. Okay,
rub your stomach just like that.
- Rub it just like that.
- Good.
Alright, next person, please.
Next person.
Where did he go?
I'm sorry, everyone.
Come on, Plawan, take your place.
Face forward, please.
Yeah, that's it. Now turn to the side.
There you go,
looking good. Do a full turn.
Okay, Plawan. Take off your shirt.
Take off your shirt. Go ahead.
Can I not take it off?
Is something wrong? Oh, is it too cold?
Guys, can we turn up the temperature?
Why not? Come on,
you're wasting the crew's time.
- Well…
- What?
It's just that
I don't have a six-pack right now.
No time to work on it.
I told you from the start
we needed someone with abs.
Just take it off. It's alright.
But I'm really good-looking though.
These days, any body type
can present products.
Or are you trying to set
society's beauty standards?
Well, yes.
This is an ad for a weight loss clinic.
TRANSFORM A FLOP BOD
INTO A HOT BOD! WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC.
You do understand this is for
a weight loss clinic, right?
You said he was a rising star.
More like a fallen star.
Also,
if he can't follow
instructions like this, blacklist him.
And tell the modeling agency
not to send anyone like this again.
Hold on. Please calm down.
Even though my body
isn't in great shape right now…
I can pose and act well.
Like this, like this, or like this.
Please, let me try one test shot.
Let me try on camera again.
What am I supposed to do with acting?
This is a weight loss clinic!
The client wants six-packs,
do you understand?
Get out now!
Ouch!
Gosh.
Why does everyone these days
only care about looks?
Not giving me a chance.
Damn it!
What should I do next?
What now?
PLEASE PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL BY TODAY.
APOLOGIES IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
THE REMAINING BALANCE IS 999 BAHT.
Damn it, why is this all I’ve got left?
What should I do next?
I went through all the trouble
to get you that casting job, Wan.
And you got yourself kicked off the set.
And now you're asking me
to help pay your electric bill?
I really tried my best,
but the casting team didn't choose me.
You need to stay in shape to be a model.
Otherwise, you're just
screwing yourself over.
Sis, please help find a job for me.
Just one job, please. A really great one.
I promise I'll pay you back with interest.
Please. I'm begging you.
You said you'd get in shape
at the start of the year.
But all you do is go around
eating basil stir-fry.
Oh, come on, basil stir-fry is delicious!
Who can resist it?
And besides,
it's not like I don't exercise.
You know I hurt my wrist
shooting that motorcycle
commercial for you.
Look at this, sis. It still hurts.
Take a look.
Alright, alright, I understand.
If being a model is so difficult,
why don't you switch careers?
Being an influencer pays well.
Some are even bigger than celebrities,
if you really specialize in something.
But I've been eating
the same dish for two months now.
Doesn't that make me an expert?
And when I go out to eat,
not a single sponsor pays for me.
I pay for everything myself.
If a basil stir-fry isn't good,
I can't bring myself to compliment it.
My taste buds were made to
enjoy only the best basil stir-fry.
Oh, come on, why don't you get it?
Talking to you is pointless.
Sis, please.
Okay then, if you don't get in shape,
don't call me again, understand?
Uh, sis…
Sis, please help me
with the electricity bill.
Or at least pay for the coffee.
Sis, please!
Woah.
Creditors these days are so relentless.
Don't they have any sympathy?
IMMEDIATE DISCONNECTION
Hey, What are you doing?
I'm staying at your place.
I'm letting you stay
at my place for tonight only.
Tomorrow, go back to your own place.
Oh, I just got here and
you're already kicking me out.
My place doesn't have air
conditioning, and the power's been cut.
JJ, how can you let
your best friend live like that?
Stop it.
I've already paid your electricity bill.
It will be back on tomorrow.
Do you have any other problems?
Thanks, my dear friend, but…
I just found out they've
taken the water meter too.
Can you pay for my water bill too?
Wan, you're asking for it now.
- Pay your water bill, too?
- Wait!
- I'm your friend, not your dad.
- Pa…
Oh wow, JJ, buddy.
Come on,
think of our 30 years of friendship.
Thirty years, huh?
You're only 25. You jerk.
I don't care.
I'm only paying for this month, alright?
And if I see you
sleeping at my place again,
I'll charge you 500 per night.
Plus a 500 cleaning fee, making it 1,000.
You bloodsucker.
Fine.
When I find
a modeling job, I'll pay you back.
A modeling job? With how much you eat?
And you can't even exercise properly.
I just can't right now.
Tell me everything.
I'll be your physical therapist.
You're the one who forgot my instructions.
I told you not to indulge your cravings.
You still can't exercise like you used to.
Otherwise, you'll need wrist surgery.
See your wrist, right?
I know, let go. It hurts.
Let go, okay?
I'm serious, Wan.
This modeling stuff,
why are you pushing yourself to do it?
Pushing myself? I love modeling work.
You don't actually like modeling,
but you like the money.
You like the money, do you hear me?
Talking to you is like…
- So frustraiting. Don't eat it.
- Hey, where are you taking that?
Wait, JJ!
Damn it.
From the top Chef of the show,
"Kitchen on Fire"
How can you dare call this food?
The pork is still undercooked,
and it tastes awful.
If you're just here to
mess around, get out.
Yes, Chef.
Every dish is made
with carefully selected ingredients
chosen by the Chef.
Even though I only sell basil stir-fry,
it will be a basil stir-fry
you can't find anywhere else.
And most importantly,
the basil stir-fry at this restaurant
has no long beans.
What do you think, Chef?
I think this is really great, Chef.
If you want any changes,
just let me know, Chef.
You want it to be more concise,
or maybe make the logo bigger?
- No, thanks.
- You mean
no need to make it more concise
or doesn't need a bigger logo, Chef?
I don't want any of that.
I've decided not to use this clip.
Kluer, please process
the expense reimbursement for the team.
But Chef…
This is just the first draft.
We can still make any changes needed.
Your team did a great job.
I'm not dissatisfied with anything.
I've just decided to close the restaurant.
I'm in the process
of selling the business.
Huh?
Chef?
Chef!
Are you serious, Chef?
You're really selling the business?
You've been my assistant for a long time.
Have you ever seen me joking around?
So that's why
you haven't come out
with any new dishes lately, right?
- I've lost my passion.
- I thought so.
I was just telling the others
that something felt off.
I wasn't sure before,
that's why I haven't told you all.
But don't worry.
If anyone takes over the restaurant,
I'll ask them to keep you all employed.
Don't you want to cook
basil stir-fry anymore?
I still love cooking.
But some things
don't feel the same anymore.
Is it because of Khaosuay?
Our restaurant,
the No Long Beans Basil House.
Welcome!
If anyone knew why you
opened a basil stir-fry
restaurant without long beans,
they'd be really confused.
It's easy to explain.
My girlfriend is allergic to long beans.
Have you told Khaosuay
that you're selling the restaurant?
Why do you want me to tell her?
It's not like she'd care anyway.
I'm just going to take a break.
Try to find my passion again.
I've been cooking for ten years.
I would get tired eventually.
Former Hellfire Chef
from the famous TV show
suddenly selling his restaurant
because he’s desperate for money.
Sounds suspicious if you ask me.
I have my own problems.
And another thing,
I'm not borrowing money from you, Kluer.
So, Chef, who are you
planning to sell it to?
Whoever contacts
me first, I'll sell it to them.
I'm not that hard to deal with.
If I've already decided
to sell the place, why overthink it?
MR. OAB-UEA KUASKULKI
TWENTY MILLION BAH
I won't sell it to you,
no matter how much you offer.
Stop contacting me.
I thought you said you'd sell
to anyone who was interested.
If you think
the amount I offered is too low,
just write down a new number
and send it back.
How much do you want?
The number isn’t a big deal.
The buyer is.
I'll only sell this restaurant
to someone I approve of.
I won't hand it over to greedy investors
who just want to turn this place
into something else,
Mr. Methas.
NO TRESPASSING
PROPERTY OF MT GROUP CO., LTD.
What are you doing to my restaurant?
This place has been seized.
- You can't do this!
- Please!
- Professor!
- Teacher!
Professor! What did you guys do?
- You can't do this.
- Get out!
Hey, hold them back!
Get out!
No!
I thought you were upset about something.
Turns out it was that condo after all.
That restaurant was really old.
Preserving it is pointless.
I'm redeveloping that area
to make it beneficial.
Isn't that a better thing to do?
His restaurant had been around
for nearly a century,
passed down through generations.
How could you force him to sell it?
Chef Anas didn't own the land.
I bought it from the landowner.
What's wrong with that?
I don't want to waste my time
talking to trash like you who
don't appreciate food.
I know you're buying up
the land around my restaurant
to build a new community mall and condos.
All that benefit you keep talking about,
it's only for yourself.
Get out now.
Suit yourself.
But no one else is going to
offer you a better price than I did.
You want to sell
the restaurant fast, don't you?
Isn't it because you need a lot of money?
METHAS SIRAMONKOLSAWA
If you change your mind,
just give me a call.
I'm always available.
This place has been seized.
I won't let you! Get out!
I'm calling the police.
Go ahead, call them.
Everyone, get out!
NO TRESPASSING
PROPERTY OF MT GROUP CO., LTD.
Let's go.
BUNYAVEJ HOSPITAL
Mr. Anas's coronary artery disease
has become severe
and is significantly reducing
blood flow to his heart.
We should proceed
with the surgery as soon as possible.
Have you been able to
contact his daughter?
Not yet, doctor.
But I'll keep trying to reach her.
Alright. Excuse me.
Don't call her.
Let's not bother Khaosuay.
Professor.
Aren't you going to tell her
that your condition has gotten this bad?
Just focusing on her studies
is already enough for her.
She doesn't need to know
about my condition.
In that case,
let Nubnueng and me
help cover the expenses,
so you can get the surgery soon.
I won't allow it, Oab.
Stop right there.
Professor,
please let us help you.
No way.
No, Oab.
I said no.
Oab,
that's just how stubborn he is.
Before I came here,
I transferred 500,000 baht to you.
Use it to pay the hospital first.
Tell them I'll sign anything,
as long as they stabilize his condition.
PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL
500,000 BAH
I'll find more money soon.
Where did you get the money?
Don't tell me you burned through
your last savings.
What about your restaurant?
Are you shutting it down?
This is my business.
You go and handle the payment.
I'll take care of the money.
Hey, wait!
Man,
Professor and student really are alike.
You're just as stubborn as your professor.
Oab,
why don't you try the other option?
Stop that thought right there, Nubnueng.
Why, though?
Just bring Khaosuay back to Thailand.
You know he always
listens to his daughter.
I'm not going to bring her back.
He said he didn't want that.
I don't want to make things worse.
Why not?
Are you afraid to call your ex?
If you don't call Khaosuay,
it's like you're letting his condition
get worse without doing anything.
KHAOSUAY
KHAOSUAY
RECENTS - KHAOSUAY
INTERNATIONAL CALL - KHAOSUAY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
LOS ANGELES
Is something wrong, Oab?
No, nothing's wrong.
I dialed a wrong number.
I see.
- Okay.
- Well…
Have you been in contact with your dad?
With exams coming up,
I haven't talked to him much.
Is something wrong?
Um…
Well…
The Professor…
I haven't been able to
reach him much either.
It'd be good if you could call him.
If there's anything
you need to tell me, just say it.
Hey, Chrissy, we have to go now.
Okay. Give me a sec.
Oab?
Oh.
It's probably morning there now, right?
You're probably getting ready for school.
Sorry to bother you.
Don't forget to call your dad.
Oh. Alright.
Hurry up my girl.
Today we have class with you.
We're gonna be late.
And you know,
last night, with my boy, was so fun!
Let's go.
Let's go.
If you're selling your restaurant,
then I'll sell mine too.
I'll use my money to help him.
Chef Nubnueng,
you just opened
this restaurant last month.
Have you already paid off the bank loan?
Just my restaurant alone should be enough
to cover all the hospital expenses.
Anyway,
Did Methas really have the nerve
to try and buy your place?
Doesn't he have any shame?
What do you expect from someone like him?
But don't worry, I already kicked him out.
And what about the others?
Anyone else interested?
There are a few.
But after looking into them,
turns out they're all investors
working with Methas.
So I still haven't decided yet.
Even though I need the money,
I don't want my restaurant
getting torn down.
At the very least, I want someone
who'll keep the place running.
Oab, How about this?
Why don't you hold a cooking competition
to choose your successor?
- A cooking competition?
- Yes.
That way, you'll find someone
who won't tear the place down.
And you'll get somone
with the right skills
to carry on your Chef's Table
basil stir-fry too.
Right?
So, what do I need to do?
Looking for a successor
to No Long Beans Basil House
through a cooking competition
to find someone with the right skills
with the following qualifications.
First, has 20 million baht.
Holy shit.
Excellent cooking skills.
Passionate about basil stir-fry.
Must not be affiliated with MT Group.
Anyone who meets all these requirements
Chef Oab is ready to sell
No Long Beans Basil House to them.
Oh wow, Oab,
twenty million baht?
Come on, Nueng,
I'm just following your idea
about posting to find candidates.
Chef Oab, you should
select based on more realistic
and achievable qualifications.
This is what I want.
If someone meets all the qualifications,
they'll get my restaurant.
Hey!
It's your idea after all.
SELL THE BUSINESS.
SEEKING A SUITABLE SUCCESSOR THROUGH
A BASIL STIR-FRY COOKING COMPETITION
FOR "NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE"
Send someone undercover
to enter that chef's competition.
Do whatever it takes
to make sure our guy wins,
no matter the cost.
Just a basil stir-fry place,
are you really investing that much?
You don't understand.
Once that area
becomes the new community mall,
the value I gain
will multiply many times over.
The reason for holding
this competition is simple.
I want to sell the restaurant
to someone truly skilled.
Those who are just after
the land to start a business,
don't bother contacting me.
It's a waste of time.
Also, I want to show
that foul-mouthed chef that
those who say money
can't buy everything are just losers
who don't have enough of it.
Yes, sir.
Dude, I found a way to make money!
What is it this time?
This way, please.
MT GROUP
REAL ESTATE
Wan, keep walking.
Please, have a seat.
Please wait here.
The previous candidate is not done yet.
Sure.
Wan.
- Wan?
- What?
Are you sure we came to the right place?
This is an office, not a kitchen.
Yes, this is the place.
I found out from a secret group of chefs.
Why do you want to
audition for a cooking competition?
Want to be a chef?
I don't want to be a chef,
I want the money.
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
Just like I said in the post
about selling my restaurant.
Anyone with the skills
can come and compete.
If you win, you earn the right
to buy the business.
I want to sell the restaurant
to someone truly skilled.
Those who are just after
the land to start a business,
don't bother contacting me.
It's a waste of time.
What’s your deal?
You said you didn't like Chef Oab,
that foul-mouthed Chef
you had a problem with before.
And now you want to
apply to be his successor?
What's your plan?
And another thing, Wan,
this whole fake-successor job
sounds so shady.
How could you be dumb enough
to take it? Idiot.
Look, Mr. Methas Siramongkolsawat
is a real estate tycoon.
His company, MT Group,
definitely has the money for me.
That's not what I mean
that he's loaded like you said.
I'm talking about you.
You have to disguise yourself
and fool the country's top chef.
And another thing,
Wan, can you even cook? Huh?
Can you?
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
You are both an actor and a model,
so you have a long
history of cooking, is that right?
Yes, I'm good at acting.
You might have seen some of my work.
Never seen it.
I'm wondering
if you're just some insignificant extra.
Also,
with a body like that,
you really think you can be a model?
Easy for you to judge.
My work's not out yet,
but you'll see soon enough.
I don't care about your career.
I only care about the basil stir-fry.
What's your signature dish?
A lot. I can make anything.
Tasty? That's another story.
I'm very busy.
If you can't cook, then what's the point?
- Please leave!
- Okay.
- Mr. Methas, wait a moment!
- This way, please.
I may not be able to cook,
but I can definitely beat everyone else.
I've eaten basil stir-fry
from hundreds of restaurants.
If I were in the Super Fan contest,
I'd easily take first place.
That's your pathetic experience?
Chef Oab would reject
your application in the first round.
Submitting your application,
I feel bad for the trees
that got turned into paper for you.
I don't waste time
talking to people like you.
Every minute of my time is worth millions.
Just talking to you right now
is costing me ten million.
And what do rich people eat
that can make them so disrespectful?
Your feet touch the ground
just like everyone else's.
You didn't fall from the sky.
Why act like you're above everyone else?
Hey, you.
Hey, JJ.
- Calm down.
- Wan, he's insulting you.
It's fine. Calm down.
This guy may only have
his looks going for him
and not look very reliable,
but when it comes to eating
basil stir-fry, he's on top.
Go watch his vlog.
All 100 clips are about basil stir-fry.
Just because he's good at eating
doesn't mean he can win.
I've thought it through and decided
that sending your friend
would be a wasted opportunity.
- Oh, you're so confident.
- Whoa.
- Hey, calm down.
- What?
- Wan, get out.
- Don't hold me back.
And if you don't
choose my friend, then don't.
He doesn't need someone like you.
Let's go, Wan.
- We're going home.
- Hey, wait!
- Please give me a chance, Mr. Methas.
- Stop talking.
What's wrong with you?
Stand tall.
Why are you looking so defeated?
I didn't pass Mr. Methas' selection.
So I've lost my chance to make a million.
How can it be hopeless?
He didn't send you,
but he never said you couldn't apply
to become the successor, did he?
What do you mean?
If you pass the audition and
get into Chef Oab's restaurant,
there's no way that greedy investor
wouldn't hire you.
Holy crap,
my dear friend,
how did you think of that?
Once you have the upper hand,
that's when you negotiate.
And then, Wan,
you can demand money
and bleed him dry.
Oh my, that was close.
What should I do now?
Where did he go?
He was just here.
Where is he?
Oh.
It's the annoying YouTuber.
Why are you following me?
What? Who's following you?
I'm just here shopping.
Only you can shop here or what?
No, right?
What's your problem?
- Give it to me.
- Hey!
It's mine.
Hey!
What?
Why are you tracking what I buy?
Just a coincidence.
I'm just here to buy
ingredients for cooking.
What's the issue?
I think it concerns me,
- so I'll take this.
- Hey!
And don't follow me again.
I don't need a fan.
You don't know me well enough.
CARROT ½ KG., CUCUMBERS, TOMATOES,
LARGE ONIONS, BELL PEPPERS SPUR CHILI,
GARLIC, GREEN OAK LETTUCE, KAREN CHILI,
WAGYU BEEF 2 PACKS
Here it is. Is this all?
Carrots, tomatoes…
What are you doing at my place?
Why did you buy so many ingredients?
You're the one who told
me I have to pass the audition
to squeeze money out of Mr. Methas.
So today, I followed
Chef Oab and noted all his ingredients.
I'm going to replicate
everything exactly like he does.
Why don't you practice on your own?
Why come here?
It's not like I can cook.
You cook better than I do.
If you can make an omelet
without burning it, you're already ahead.
What the hell?
If I beat Chef Oab,
that means you beat Mr. Methas too.
Or are you going to
leave me to struggle on my own?
Come on, my hand hurts.
Alright, alright,
let's just get this over with.
So, where should we start?
- Stop it.
- Huh?
Who told you to do it like that?
When you're pounding,
cover it with your hand like this
so it doesn't splatter.
Your hand.
No need to cover the whole thing.
How's this? Is it okay?
What are you doing?
You have to peel it first.
Yeah, just like that.
- That's enough.
- A bit more.
Basil in, now.
Is that enough?
Why are you adding so much?
It smells amazing.
Oh, acting like a pro now.
Wan, my kitchen is a mess!
Here you go.
Eat up.
Do I really have to taste this?
Of course you do. Come on,
taste it quickly.
Ugh!
Wan, what did you make for me?
Stir-fried basil with
minced pork and a fried egg.
I used the exact
ingredients from the recipe I saw.
What recipe?
The pork is burnt to the core,
and it's so salty it hurts my kidneys.
Am I going to die from this?
I don't want to beat
Mr. Methas or whatever.
Just stop.
People need to improve, my friend.
Get ready to taste the next dish.
Hey, wait! Wan!
Here, try it.

I need to rest to save my energy.
So how far have you gotten
with your perfect basil stir-fry?
I think I've improved a lot.
I have something for you.
Here, try this.
I'm really confident in this dish.
It's delicious, and I guarantee
it won't hurt your kidneys.
Come on, taste it.
I'm really confident.
- Hurry.
- I'm probably going to die first.
Come on, eat up.
How is it?
How is it?
How does it taste?
It's not bad.
It's not bad, right? I knew it.
Do you want another bite to
make sure the flavor is consistent?
- Try it.
- By the way,
have they announced the results
for the first round of applications?
What if they already picked them?
I have no idea.
Hey, it's here!
Open it.
EMAIL FROM NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO PROCEED
TO THE NEXT ROUND. CLICK TO CONFIRM.
Passed the first round.
JJ, I passed!
I passed, I passed, did you see that?
Yes! Aren't you happy for me?
Of course I am.
But how is that possible?
Let's do it for millions of baht.
Oh.
Hey, where are you guys from?
Everyone,
welcome to the first selection round
for the successor of
No Long Beans Basil House.
We will narrow it down
to the top three candidates.
Those who pass
will train with me for one month
before I announce the winner.
These are the rules.
If you feel you can't handle it,
you can leave right now.
For the first round,
there will be two tests.
Whoever gets a combined score
in the top three
will pass this round.
Any questions?
Good.
I'm going to announce the first challenge.
Today, each of you must cook
a basil stir-fry dish of your choice.
You must also present your dish.
You have 15 minutes.
Ingredients are in the kitchen.
You may begin.
Has it started?
I'll go with pork then.
Five,
four,
three,
two,
one,
time's up.
Everyone, stop what you're doing.
I'll give you a ten minute break,
then I'll call each of
you to present your dish to me,
one-on-one.
Yes, Chef.
Mr. Fanclub,
I think we need to have a little chat.
I didn't expect you to
take this competition seriously.
Have you ever cooked before?
Well, yeah. I just
made the basil stir-fry for you.
That doesn't qualify as basil stir-fry.
It's not even the work
of a professional chef.
Plawan,
your nickname caught my attention
because I've
filleted many fish in my life,
including a whale once.
I think you're just
getting in the way here.
Why don't you just go home?
What, Chef?
Oh, Chef, let go of me.
With your hand swollen like this?
What kind of Chef is he?
Ouch, Chef!
Your hand's hurt, and you're still
doing something you're bad at?
Only someone without
any sense would do that.
You need to soak it,
and then apply some Snow Lotus Cream.
Chef, you don't have to get so close.
I'm uncomfortable.
Aren't you my fan?
You should be happy,
not uncomfortable.
Plawan.
Are you the one Methas sent to compete?
Every week, someone will be eliminated.
Everything you do
will count toward your total score.
From now on, you are all competitors.
I'll warn you one more time.
If you're not serious, step back.
Someone like you will never succeed.
Chef is mean as hell.
Keep standing like that
and you'll wreck your back.
If you don't get two million…
You don't need to hire
my friend for this job anymore.
But if your friend fails,
he will have to return
every single baht to me.
I have an announcement.
One person who made it to the next
round has a secret deal with Mr. Methas.
Will you confess,
or should I say the name?
What are you doing?
NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
Here we are again with Plawan,
the Basil Connoisseur,
the channel that’ll take everyone around
to try basil dishes from all over.
And today, we’re at
No Long Beans Basil House.
I heard the chef here is really strict.
No idea what to expect.
Let’s go check it out.
Come on, everyone. Follow me inside!
The door itself is impressive!
And here we are, everyone.
Right when you walk in, you’re hit
with the amazing aroma of basil stir-fry.
The atmosphere is incredible.
There's the table I reserved.
Alright, let's go!
Wow, the plating style
and the restaurant's atmosphere
are absolutely stunning.
The food is here.
Wow.
Just bringing it over.
It smells amazing already!
The plating is absolutely stunning!
Let me get a thumbnail shot.
Let's start tasting it!
Wow, oh my!
It already looks beautiful,
but the taste is
incredibly rich and delicious.
What should I try next? Alright,
let's go with the beef. Beef it is!
Who said you could film a vlog
in my restaurant?
Hey, what's going on?
I'm a big fan of yours!
I'm here to review your restaurant.
Here he is, everyone,
the one and only Chef Oab!
Also known as "The Hellfire Chef".
In the flesh!
Take the plate away.
Hey, wait!
I haven't even started eating yet…
We don't allow filming
that disturbs other customers.
- Please leave.
- Hey, how can you do this, Chef?
It took forever to get a reservation here.
You won't even let me film content?
Hey!
This place is for people who
truly want to enjoy basil stir-fry.
People making shallow review content
are not welcome.
Please leave.
Please put it down gently.
It took me forever
to get a reservation here.
It really did.
How can you treat a customer like this?
Here he is, everyone.
This is the face of Chef Oab.
This is the No Long Beans Basil House.
To all my followers,
don't come to this restaurant.
The food isn't good,
and the service is terrible.
Seriously awful.
You broke the restaurant's rules yourself.
Hey, what is this?
I cook food for people to eat,
not for the camera.
Don't come back again. Go!
Yeah, like I'd ever come back.
This place is terrible.
- What, come on!
- Chef, please don't!
Come on.
You think you're tough? Come on then!
Oh wow!
You think you're a famous Chef?
Do you know that
my channel is way more popular?
I have thousands of subscribers.
You're definitely going
to be famous now, Chef.
Dang it!
Hello?!
Yes, I'll be there right away.
Just a moment, really.
Alright, goodbye.
Just remember this.
WELCOME
Face forward.
Wow, looking sharp! This is perfect.
Wow, very solid. Okay,
rub your stomach just like that.
- Rub it just like that.
- Good.
Alright, next person, please.
Next person.
Where did he go?
I'm sorry, everyone.
Come on, Plawan, take your place.
Face forward, please.
Yeah, that's it. Now turn to the side.
There you go,
looking good. Do a full turn.
Okay, Plawan. Take off your shirt.
Take off your shirt. Go ahead.
Can I not take it off?
Is something wrong? Oh, is it too cold?
Guys, can we turn up the temperature?
Why not? Come on,
you're wasting the crew's time.
- Well…
- What?
It's just that
I don't have a six-pack right now.
No time to work on it.
I told you from the start
we needed someone with abs.
Just take it off. It's alright.
But I'm really good-looking though.
These days, any body type
can present products.
Or are you trying to set
society's beauty standards?
Well, yes.
This is an ad for a weight loss clinic.
TRANSFORM A FLOP BOD
INTO A HOT BOD! WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC.
You do understand this is for
a weight loss clinic, right?
You said he was a rising star.
More like a fallen star.
Also,
if he can't follow
instructions like this, blacklist him.
And tell the modeling agency
not to send anyone like this again.
Hold on. Please calm down.
Even though my body
isn't in great shape right now…
I can pose and act well.
Like this, like this, or like this.
Please, let me try one test shot.
Let me try on camera again.
What am I supposed to do with acting?
This is a weight loss clinic!
The client wants six-packs,
do you understand?
Get out now!
Ouch!
Gosh.
Why does everyone these days
only care about looks?
Not giving me a chance.
Damn it!
What should I do next?
What now?
PLEASE PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL BY TODAY.
APOLOGIES IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
THE REMAINING BALANCE IS 999 BAHT.
Damn it, why is this all I’ve got left?
What should I do next?
I went through all the trouble
to get you that casting job, Wan.
And you got yourself kicked off the set.
And now you're asking me
to help pay your electric bill?
I really tried my best,
but the casting team didn't choose me.
You need to stay in shape to be a model.
Otherwise, you're just
screwing yourself over.
Sis, please help find a job for me.
Just one job, please. A really great one.
I promise I'll pay you back with interest.
Please. I'm begging you.
You said you'd get in shape
at the start of the year.
But all you do is go around
eating basil stir-fry.
Oh, come on, basil stir-fry is delicious!
Who can resist it?
And besides,
it's not like I don't exercise.
You know I hurt my wrist
shooting that motorcycle
commercial for you.
Look at this, sis. It still hurts.
Take a look.
Alright, alright, I understand.
If being a model is so difficult,
why don't you switch careers?
Being an influencer pays well.
Some are even bigger than celebrities,
if you really specialize in something.
But I've been eating
the same dish for two months now.
Doesn't that make me an expert?
And when I go out to eat,
not a single sponsor pays for me.
I pay for everything myself.
If a basil stir-fry isn't good,
I can't bring myself to compliment it.
My taste buds were made to
enjoy only the best basil stir-fry.
Oh, come on, why don't you get it?
Talking to you is pointless.
Sis, please.
Okay then, if you don't get in shape,
don't call me again, understand?
Uh, sis…
Sis, please help me
with the electricity bill.
Or at least pay for the coffee.
Sis, please!
Woah.
Creditors these days are so relentless.
Don't they have any sympathy?
IMMEDIATE DISCONNECTION
Hey, What are you doing?
I'm staying at your place.
I'm letting you stay
at my place for tonight only.
Tomorrow, go back to your own place.
Oh, I just got here and
you're already kicking me out.
My place doesn't have air
conditioning, and the power's been cut.
JJ, how can you let
your best friend live like that?
Stop it.
I've already paid your electricity bill.
It will be back on tomorrow.
Do you have any other problems?
Thanks, my dear friend, but…
I just found out they've
taken the water meter too.
Can you pay for my water bill too?
Wan, you're asking for it now.
- Pay your water bill, too?
- Wait!
- I'm your friend, not your dad.
- Pa…
Oh wow, JJ, buddy.
Come on,
think of our 30 years of friendship.
Thirty years, huh?
You're only 25. You jerk.
I don't care.
I'm only paying for this month, alright?
And if I see you
sleeping at my place again,
I'll charge you 500 per night.
Plus a 500 cleaning fee, making it 1,000.
You bloodsucker.
Fine.
When I find
a modeling job, I'll pay you back.
A modeling job? With how much you eat?
And you can't even exercise properly.
I just can't right now.
Tell me everything.
I'll be your physical therapist.
You're the one who forgot my instructions.
I told you not to indulge your cravings.
You still can't exercise like you used to.
Otherwise, you'll need wrist surgery.
See your wrist, right?
I know, let go. It hurts.
Let go, okay?
I'm serious, Wan.
This modeling stuff,
why are you pushing yourself to do it?
Pushing myself? I love modeling work.
You don't actually like modeling,
but you like the money.
You like the money, do you hear me?
Talking to you is like…
- So frustraiting. Don't eat it.
- Hey, where are you taking that?
Wait, JJ!
Damn it.
From the top Chef of the show,
"Kitchen on Fire"
How can you dare call this food?
The pork is still undercooked,
and it tastes awful.
If you're just here to
mess around, get out.
Yes, Chef.
Every dish is made
with carefully selected ingredients
chosen by the Chef.
Even though I only sell basil stir-fry,
it will be a basil stir-fry
you can't find anywhere else.
And most importantly,
the basil stir-fry at this restaurant
has no long beans.
What do you think, Chef?
I think this is really great, Chef.
If you want any changes,
just let me know, Chef.
You want it to be more concise,
or maybe make the logo bigger?
- No, thanks.
- You mean
no need to make it more concise
or doesn't need a bigger logo, Chef?
I don't want any of that.
I've decided not to use this clip.
Kluer, please process
the expense reimbursement for the team.
But Chef…
This is just the first draft.
We can still make any changes needed.
Your team did a great job.
I'm not dissatisfied with anything.
I've just decided to close the restaurant.
I'm in the process
of selling the business.
Huh?
Chef?
Chef!
Are you serious, Chef?
You're really selling the business?
You've been my assistant for a long time.
Have you ever seen me joking around?
So that's why
you haven't come out
with any new dishes lately, right?
- I've lost my passion.
- I thought so.
I was just telling the others
that something felt off.
I wasn't sure before,
that's why I haven't told you all.
But don't worry.
If anyone takes over the restaurant,
I'll ask them to keep you all employed.
Don't you want to cook
basil stir-fry anymore?
I still love cooking.
But some things
don't feel the same anymore.
Is it because of Khaosuay?
Our restaurant,
the No Long Beans Basil House.
Welcome!
If anyone knew why you
opened a basil stir-fry
restaurant without long beans,
they'd be really confused.
It's easy to explain.
My girlfriend is allergic to long beans.
Have you told Khaosuay
that you're selling the restaurant?
Why do you want me to tell her?
It's not like she'd care anyway.
I'm just going to take a break.
Try to find my passion again.
I've been cooking for ten years.
I would get tired eventually.
Former Hellfire Chef
from the famous TV show
suddenly selling his restaurant
because he’s desperate for money.
Sounds suspicious if you ask me.
I have my own problems.
And another thing,
I'm not borrowing money from you, Kluer.
So, Chef, who are you
planning to sell it to?
Whoever contacts
me first, I'll sell it to them.
I'm not that hard to deal with.
If I've already decided
to sell the place, why overthink it?
MR. OAB-UEA KUASKULKI
TWENTY MILLION BAH
I won't sell it to you,
no matter how much you offer.
Stop contacting me.
I thought you said you'd sell
to anyone who was interested.
If you think
the amount I offered is too low,
just write down a new number
and send it back.
How much do you want?
The number isn’t a big deal.
The buyer is.
I'll only sell this restaurant
to someone I approve of.
I won't hand it over to greedy investors
who just want to turn this place
into something else,
Mr. Methas.
NO TRESPASSING
PROPERTY OF MT GROUP CO., LTD.
What are you doing to my restaurant?
This place has been seized.
- You can't do this!
- Please!
- Professor!
- Teacher!
Professor! What did you guys do?
- You can't do this.
- Get out!
Hey, hold them back!
Get out!
No!
I thought you were upset about something.
Turns out it was that condo after all.
That restaurant was really old.
Preserving it is pointless.
I'm redeveloping that area
to make it beneficial.
Isn't that a better thing to do?
His restaurant had been around
for nearly a century,
passed down through generations.
How could you force him to sell it?
Chef Anas didn't own the land.
I bought it from the landowner.
What's wrong with that?
I don't want to waste my time
talking to trash like you who
don't appreciate food.
I know you're buying up
the land around my restaurant
to build a new community mall and condos.
All that benefit you keep talking about,
it's only for yourself.
Get out now.
Suit yourself.
But no one else is going to
offer you a better price than I did.
You want to sell
the restaurant fast, don't you?
Isn't it because you need a lot of money?
METHAS SIRAMONKOLSAWA
If you change your mind,
just give me a call.
I'm always available.
This place has been seized.
I won't let you! Get out!
I'm calling the police.
Go ahead, call them.
Everyone, get out!
NO TRESPASSING
PROPERTY OF MT GROUP CO., LTD.
Let's go.
BUNYAVEJ HOSPITAL
Mr. Anas's coronary artery disease
has become severe
and is significantly reducing
blood flow to his heart.
We should proceed
with the surgery as soon as possible.
Have you been able to
contact his daughter?
Not yet, doctor.
But I'll keep trying to reach her.
Alright. Excuse me.
Don't call her.
Let's not bother Khaosuay.
Professor.
Aren't you going to tell her
that your condition has gotten this bad?
Just focusing on her studies
is already enough for her.
She doesn't need to know
about my condition.
In that case,
let Nubnueng and me
help cover the expenses,
so you can get the surgery soon.
I won't allow it, Oab.
Stop right there.
Professor,
please let us help you.
No way.
No, Oab.
I said no.
Oab,
that's just how stubborn he is.
Before I came here,
I transferred 500,000 baht to you.
Use it to pay the hospital first.
Tell them I'll sign anything,
as long as they stabilize his condition.
PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL
500,000 BAH
I'll find more money soon.
Where did you get the money?
Don't tell me you burned through
your last savings.
What about your restaurant?
Are you shutting it down?
This is my business.
You go and handle the payment.
I'll take care of the money.
Hey, wait!
Man,
Professor and student really are alike.
You're just as stubborn as your professor.
Oab,
why don't you try the other option?
Stop that thought right there, Nubnueng.
Why, though?
Just bring Khaosuay back to Thailand.
You know he always
listens to his daughter.
I'm not going to bring her back.
He said he didn't want that.
I don't want to make things worse.
Why not?
Are you afraid to call your ex?
If you don't call Khaosuay,
it's like you're letting his condition
get worse without doing anything.
KHAOSUAY

Is something wrong, Oab?
No, nothing's wrong.
I dialed a wrong number.
I see.
- Okay.
- Well…
Have you been in contact with your dad?
With exams coming up,
I haven't talked to him much.
Is something wrong?
Um…
Well…
The Professor…
I haven't been able to
reach him much either.
It'd be good if you could call him.
If there's anything
you need to tell me, just say it.
Hey, Chrissy, we have to go now.
Okay. Give me a sec.
Oab?
Oh.
It's probably morning there now, right?
You're probably getting ready for school.
Sorry to bother you.
Don't forget to call your dad.
Oh. Alright.
Hurry up my girl.
Today we have class with you.
We're gonna be late.
And you know,
last night, with my boy, was so fun!
Let's go.
Let's go.
If you're selling your restaurant,
then I'll sell mine too.
I'll use my money to help him.
Chef Nubnueng,
you just opened
this restaurant last month.
Have you already paid off the bank loan?
Just my restaurant alone should be enough
to cover all the hospital expenses.
Anyway,
Did Methas really have the nerve
to try and buy your place?
Doesn't he have any shame?
What do you expect from someone like him?
But don't worry, I already kicked him out.
And what about the others?
Anyone else interested?
There are a few.
But after looking into them,
turns out they're all investors
working with Methas.
So I still haven't decided yet.
Even though I need the money,
I don't want my restaurant
getting torn down.
At the very least, I want someone
who'll keep the place running.
Oab, How about this?
Why don't you hold a cooking competition
to choose your successor?
- A cooking competition?
- Yes.
That way, you'll find someone
who won't tear the place down.
And you'll get somone
with the right skills
to carry on your Chef's Table
basil stir-fry too.
Right?
So, what do I need to do?
Looking for a successor
to No Long Beans Basil House
through a cooking competition
to find someone with the right skills
with the following qualifications.
First, has 20 million baht.
Holy shit.
Excellent cooking skills.
Passionate about basil stir-fry.
Must not be affiliated with MT Group.
Anyone who meets all these requirements
Chef Oab is ready to sell
No Long Beans Basil House to them.
Oh wow, Oab,
twenty million baht?
Come on, Nueng,
I'm just following your idea
about posting to find candidates.
Chef Oab, you should
select based on more realistic
and achievable qualifications.
This is what I want.
If someone meets all the qualifications,
they'll get my restaurant.
Hey!
It's your idea after all.
SELL THE BUSINESS.
SEEKING A SUITABLE SUCCESSOR THROUGH
A BASIL STIR-FRY COOKING COMPETITION
FOR "NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE"
Send someone undercover
to enter that chef's competition.
Do whatever it takes
to make sure our guy wins,
no matter the cost.
Just a basil stir-fry place,
are you really investing that much?
You don't understand.
Once that area
becomes the new community mall,
the value I gain
will multiply many times over.
The reason for holding
this competition is simple.
I want to sell the restaurant
to someone truly skilled.
Those who are just after
the land to start a business,
don't bother contacting me.
It's a waste of time.
Also, I want to show
that foul-mouthed chef that
those who say money
can't buy everything are just losers
who don't have enough of it.
Yes, sir.
Dude, I found a way to make money!
What is it this time?
This way, please.
MT GROUP
REAL ESTATE
Wan, keep walking.
Please, have a seat.
Please wait here.
The previous candidate is not done yet.
Sure.
Wan.
- Wan?
- What?
Are you sure we came to the right place?
This is an office, not a kitchen.
Yes, this is the place.
I found out from a secret group of chefs.
Why do you want to
audition for a cooking competition?
Want to be a chef?
I don't want to be a chef,
I want the money.
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
Just like I said in the post
about selling my restaurant.
Anyone with the skills
can come and compete.
If you win, you earn the right
to buy the business.
I want to sell the restaurant
to someone truly skilled.
Those who are just after
the land to start a business,
don't bother contacting me.
It's a waste of time.
What’s your deal?
You said you didn't like Chef Oab,
that foul-mouthed Chef
you had a problem with before.
And now you want to
apply to be his successor?
What's your plan?
And another thing, Wan,
this whole fake-successor job
sounds so shady.
How could you be dumb enough
to take it? Idiot.
Look, Mr. Methas Siramongkolsawat
is a real estate tycoon.
His company, MT Group,
definitely has the money for me.
That's not what I mean
that he's loaded like you said.
I'm talking about you.
You have to disguise yourself
and fool the country's top chef.
And another thing,
Wan, can you even cook? Huh?
Can you?
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
You are both an actor and a model,
so you have a long
history of cooking, is that right?
Yes, I'm good at acting.
You might have seen some of my work.
Never seen it.
I'm wondering
if you're just some insignificant extra.
Also,
with a body like that,
you really think you can be a model?
Easy for you to judge.
My work's not out yet,
but you'll see soon enough.
I don't care about your career.
I only care about the basil stir-fry.
What's your signature dish?
A lot. I can make anything.
Tasty? That's another story.
I'm very busy.
If you can't cook, then what's the point?
- Please leave!
- Okay.
- Mr. Methas, wait a moment!
- This way, please.
I may not be able to cook,
but I can definitely beat everyone else.
I've eaten basil stir-fry
from hundreds of restaurants.
If I were in the Super Fan contest,
I'd easily take first place.
That's your pathetic experience?
Chef Oab would reject
your application in the first round.
Submitting your application,
I feel bad for the trees
that got turned into paper for you.
I don't waste time
talking to people like you.
Every minute of my time is worth millions.
Just talking to you right now
is costing me ten million.
And what do rich people eat
that can make them so disrespectful?
Your feet touch the ground
just like everyone else's.
You didn't fall from the sky.
Why act like you're above everyone else?
Hey, you.
Hey, JJ.
- Calm down.
- Wan, he's insulting you.
It's fine. Calm down.
This guy may only have
his looks going for him
and not look very reliable,
but when it comes to eating
basil stir-fry, he's on top.
Go watch his vlog.
All 100 clips are about basil stir-fry.
Just because he's good at eating
doesn't mean he can win.
I've thought it through and decided
that sending your friend
would be a wasted opportunity.
- Oh, you're so confident.
- Whoa.
- Hey, calm down.
- What?
- Wan, get out.
- Don't hold me back.
And if you don't
choose my friend, then don't.
He doesn't need someone like you.
Let's go, Wan.
- We're going home.
- Hey, wait!
- Please give me a chance, Mr. Methas.
- Stop talking.
What's wrong with you?
Stand tall.
Why are you looking so defeated?
I didn't pass Mr. Methas' selection.
So I've lost my chance to make a million.
How can it be hopeless?
He didn't send you,
but he never said you couldn't apply
to become the successor, did he?
What do you mean?
If you pass the audition and
get into Chef Oab's restaurant,
there's no way that greedy investor
wouldn't hire you.
Holy crap,
my dear friend,
how did you think of that?
Once you have the upper hand,
that's when you negotiate.
And then, Wan,
you can demand money
and bleed him dry.
Oh my, that was close.
What should I do now?
Where did he go?
He was just here.
Where is he?
Oh.
It's the annoying YouTuber.
Why are you following me?
What? Who's following you?
I'm just here shopping.
Only you can shop here or what?
No, right?
What's your problem?
- Give it to me.
- Hey!
It's mine.
Hey!
What?
Why are you tracking what I buy?
Just a coincidence.
I'm just here to buy
ingredients for cooking.
What's the issue?
I think it concerns me,
- so I'll take this.
- Hey!
And don't follow me again.
I don't need a fan.
You don't know me well enough.
CARROT ½ KG., CUCUMBERS, TOMATOES,
LARGE ONIONS, BELL PEPPERS SPUR CHILI,
GARLIC, GREEN OAK LETTUCE, KAREN CHILI,
WAGYU BEEF 2 PACKS
Here it is. Is this all?
Carrots, tomatoes…
What are you doing at my place?
Why did you buy so many ingredients?
You're the one who told
me I have to pass the audition
to squeeze money out of Mr. Methas.
So today, I followed
Chef Oab and noted all his ingredients.
I'm going to replicate
everything exactly like he does.
Why don't you practice on your own?
Why come here?
It's not like I can cook.
You cook better than I do.
If you can make an omelet
without burning it, you're already ahead.
What the hell?
If I beat Chef Oab,
that means you beat Mr. Methas too.
Or are you going to
leave me to struggle on my own?
Come on, my hand hurts.
Alright, alright,
let's just get this over with.
So, where should we start?
- Stop it.
- Huh?
Who told you to do it like that?
When you're pounding,
cover it with your hand like this
so it doesn't splatter.
Your hand.
No need to cover the whole thing.
How's this? Is it okay?
What are you doing?
You have to peel it first.
Yeah, just like that.
- That's enough.
- A bit more.
Basil in, now.
Is that enough?
Why are you adding so much?
It smells amazing.
Oh, acting like a pro now.
Wan, my kitchen is a mess!
Here you go.
Eat up.
Do I really have to taste this?
Of course you do. Come on,
taste it quickly.
Ugh!
Wan, what did you make for me?
Stir-fried basil with
minced pork and a fried egg.
I used the exact
ingredients from the recipe I saw.
What recipe?
The pork is burnt to the core,
and it's so salty it hurts my kidneys.
Am I going to die from this?
I don't want to beat
Mr. Methas or whatever.
Just stop.
People need to improve, my friend.
Get ready to taste the next dish.
Hey, wait! Wan!
Here, try it.

EMAIL FROM NO LONG BEANS BASIL HOUSE
YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO PROCEED
TO THE NEXT ROUND. CLICK TO CONFIRM.
Passed the first round.
JJ, I passed!
I passed, I passed, did you see that?
Yes! Aren't you happy for me?
Of course I am.
But how is that possible?
Let's do it for millions of baht.
Oh.
Hey, where are you guys from?
Everyone,
welcome to the first selection round
for the successor of
No Long Beans Basil House.
We will narrow it down
to the top three candidates.
Those who pass
will train with me for one month
before I announce the winner.
These are the rules.
If you feel you can't handle it,
you can leave right now.
For the first round,
there will be two tests.
Whoever gets a combined score
in the top three
will pass this round.
Any questions?
Good.
I'm going to announce the first challenge.
Today, each of you must cook
a basil stir-fry dish of your choice.
You must also present your dish.
You have 15 minutes.
Ingredients are in the kitchen.
You may begin.
Has it started?
I'll go with pork then.
Five,
four,
three,
two,
one,
time's up.
Everyone, stop what you're doing.
I'll give you a ten minute break,
then I'll call each of
you to present your dish to me,
one-on-one.
Yes, Chef.
Mr. Fanclub,
I think we need to have a little chat.
I didn't expect you to
take this competition seriously.
Have you ever cooked before?
Well, yeah. I just
made the basil stir-fry for you.
That doesn't qualify as basil stir-fry.
It's not even the work
of a professional chef.
Plawan,
your nickname caught my attention
because I've
filleted many fish in my life,
including a whale once.
I think you're just
getting in the way here.
Why don't you just go home?
What, Chef?
Oh, Chef, let go of me.
With your hand swollen like this?
What kind of Chef is he?
Ouch, Chef!
Your hand's hurt, and you're still
doing something you're bad at?
Only someone without
any sense would do that.
You need to soak it,
and then apply some Snow Lotus Cream.
Chef, you don't have to get so close.
I'm uncomfortable.
Aren't you my fan?
You should be happy,
not uncomfortable.
Plawan.
Are you the one Methas sent to compete?
Every week, someone will be eliminated.
Everything you do
will count toward your total score.
From now on, you are all competitors.
I'll warn you one more time.
If you're not serious, step back.
Someone like you will never succeed.
Chef is mean as hell.
Keep standing like that
and you'll wreck your back.
If you don't get two million…
You don't need to hire
my friend for this job anymore.
But if your friend fails,
he will have to return
every single baht to me.
I have an announcement.
One person who made it to the next
round has a secret deal with Mr. Methas.
Will you confess,
or should I say the name?
What are you doing?
