Super cute, and definitely worth watching if you like OffGun!
This may be the first time I started a series because I like the bts chemistry of the main characters, and I don't think this series disappointed at all! It was quite sad seeing many people not enjoying OffGun in this serious, and I can definitely see why. But I love their chemistry, and the absolutely hilarious comedy (not everyone will enjoy comedy of course), and I love the friendship groups of both leads.Prem's grandma is an absolute cutie, and need I mention the couple who everyone thinks overshone the main cpl Dynamite and Firefy! They really have such a great story and I enjoyed their relatinoship as much as Ten x Prem, although I won't say I liked them better, cuz i seriously love OffGun.
The premise of the show is supposed to be 'cooking', and I do think it's cute that we have a foodie x passionate chef pairing, that's always such an adorable trope! But admittedly the premise doesn't really add anything relatively important to the plot. But I did go into this mindlessly just to watch the sweet moments of the couples, hence why my rating is probably a lot higher than others.
But overall, I would definitely recommend this if you want some sweet OffGun / Dynamite x Firefy moments, they're definitely worth the time!
PS: Ten's step-mum is actually quite likeable despite her knack to cause trouble for Ten

1 Star Michelin: Worth a Try
Honestly, the story wasn't all that interesting. What hooked me was mainly just OffGun's chemistry. I did begin to favor the side couple as time went by, but the main leads were definitely the reason I stayed. This was wholesome, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional at times. As a story, it's not special, but as a lighthearted show, it sure is entertaining. OffGun can truly make anything work! The only things kind of throwing me off was the lack of engaging story and the caricature designs of the side characters. Overall, I enjoyed watching this, and it was a pretty solid watch. A typical Thai romcom, nothing groundbreaking can be expected but it's like a sweet treat for a gloomy day.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I think Not Me and Theory of Love made my expectations too high.
This was fine. A perfectly okay fluffy rom-com. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed after seeing the main actors in Not Me and Theory of Love previously.I found myself bored and tuning out frequently. And the humor rarely landed for me. But it had a few cute moments, and the actors are still competent.

Offgun saved the show for me
The show was really enjoyable for me due to offgun playing the main roles. Their acting is always on top and as always they had a great chemistry. I’m not really sure if I’d carried on watching without them. For me there was quite a lot of unnecessary effects and too many scenes giving me second hand embarrassment. The storyline was really simple and not really anything new, but I think it was also really cute. I would recommend this show to all offgun fans, they had so many adorable scenes and it makes you fall in love with them even more. Despite its weaknesses, it was one of the shows that always improve your day and make you smile.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Light entertainment for me
Nothing special about this BL, but good enough to entertain myself by binge-watching the first 8 episodes, then watching the last four episodes weekly,. It wasnt something I would die for every Sunday, but it was okay. Usually watched it the following day (Monday or Tuesday). Everything was predictable. Parents understood their kids at the end. Grandma was so nice until the last episode. The three friends remained friends forever and each found their partners. Everybody lived happily ever after (at least, that was shown in the last episode).Of course the food was so apetizing, especially Grandma's cooking, and whatever Prem and Ten cooked at the end. I'm not to keen on the fancy dishes made for the chef competition (or any chef competition with Asian food) which looked too artificial and unappetizing. Would rather have regular Thai street food :-)

Watch for OffGun
Cooking Crush was about what I expected it to be: a silly goofy gay romance. Don't go in expecting anything other than that, and it's a great watch. There might not be much in the way of drama, but boy is it cute and fun!Prem (Gun) is a culinary student, who doesn't really stick out with his abilities, but does an okay job. When his sister loses her tuition money, Prem needs a way to get it back fast. Ten (Off) is a med student who decides he wants to learn to cook - but really, he just wants to be around Prem. Prem charges him an outrageous fee for cooking lessons, but Ten doesn't mind since his dad is wealthy. The two get closer during their cooking lessons, and feelings start to emerge between them, but it seems there will be some obstacles before they can be together.
If you like OffGun, you should watch this. It's really goofy, and no problems seem to be drawn out too long. Overall a good show and an easy watch.

Just another forgettable watch, but OffGun's chemistry sparks
What can I ask more than OffGun kissing in every episode. Their chemistry is certainly strong but with this story, I just couldn't enjoy that much. Maybe because I am still in OffGun Not me era and couldn't get out of it yet.No doubt it is just a easygoing,lighthearted show. I was not invested in the storyline. To explain it more clearly; it wasn't like I would watch one ep and think about it all week and keep waiting for the next. This was more like I would watch just because I want to watch not giving much thought to it and have nothing else to watch.
What I liked about this show:
1. I liked the friendship dynamics of both the groups(Prem Dy Unky) and (Ten Fy Metha) .
2. Comedy was fine in the beginning.
3. Dynamite's character development, from being annoying to mature.
4. Offcourse, Off gun kissing in every episode
5. Food dishes.
Overall: Not the best but not the worst either...

Not bad, just a bit boring
I finished it, probably will only rewatch Neo and Aungpao’s scenes if I rewatch. It’s not a bad series, just a bit boring in my opinion. There are a lot of scenes where I found myself losing interest and waiting for it to switch up. I needed more excitement and Comedy in this RomCom.I think my main issue was the portrayal of Prem. He is a person who is so flat and boring that the scenes were also flat and boring. When a character is so non-descript then the plot really needs to carry the show, and it was to me way too predictable. Even the «plot twists» they introduced in the last couple of episodes made me roll my eyes instead of introducing any «drama» or excitement.
The love between the characters were believable, however the OffGun chemistry did nothing for me. It’s trying to be a wholesome series, and it does manage to be that. It was sweet, but it did not make me giddy. Although the main couple did have some shining moments that I liked, overall in my opinion, half the scenes with the cooking were too long and could have been left out.
The couple that were making me feel things were NeoAungpao. The side-couple carried majorly. I found myself tuning in each week for them and not the main couple. Without them or the friend characters introducing some personality into the show, I would probably have dropped the series.

Offgun: WE'RE SO BACK
when i first saw the trailer i didn't think very highly of this series. i was expecting it to be a flop like Fish upon the sky. I WAS WRONG!!!And i'm so glad i was wrong!
the cast was phenomenal and i liked that we were introduced to some new actors.
though mark was supposed to play dynamite, i'm glad we got to see another actor play together with neo. what a wonderful experience that was. both fire and dynamite's actors were expressive, loud and silly but also sensitive and sweet. it was a cute character arc. of course offgun was wonderful too, showcasing that sweet beginning of young and new love but also displaying levels of maturity and levelheadedness that we haven't seen before in their characters. it was very sweet and tender.
the story of cooking crush was hilarious: basically it's a cooking scam. iykyk. i did not feel cringe or corny at all during this low stakes romantic comedy. instead i felt connected and protective if the echaracters and found myself roting for each and every single one of them on thier journey: however silly that journey was.
i also loveddd the grandma of gun. she was great.
also something that i loved was the cooking segments in general: it was lovely to see the food getting prepared.
the plot was refreshing and original and also did not use episode 11 drama so that's a win for me !
if you haven't watched it yet: what are you waiting for?

Left With an Empty Stomach
While OffGun chemistry is undeniable, this BL felt like a letdown after the high from Not Me, even if it is expected and even a welcomed change of pace to a more heartwarming story to fill the audience's time, the series just didn't seem the right pick for them, in my opinion they were completely miscasted as the characters of Ten and Prem.Neo coming from Only Friends straight into Firefly's shoes, didn't feel right or organic, it would have been better if he was given a time to breathe between the characters, the same thing happened to Mark, but his character didn't have the same amount of screen time and neither did it give too much of a whiplash as seeing Neo go from narcisistic and sexual deviant Boston to repressed and quirky Firefly. Aungpao certainly came in strong filling in last minute in a role that requires a lot of charm from the actor, he is young and as a debut role did do a fine job, I'm curious what he will bring to the table in his next projects.
Some other characters felt like too much of a throwaway since there wasn't much to do with them, the grandmother being one that kind of disappeared in the middle of the story and only showed up in mention or to "be there". Changma was played by the handsome Victor Chatchchwit, so while I did like to see him on my screen, I did not understand the point of his character at all as the idol with an unrequired crush, a little bit Nurse Betty esque.
The story is sweet, with some unexpected drama, but nothing too hard to digest. The dishes looked delicious, I certainly would like my own copy of Prem's cooking book (if there isn't on GMM's shop, they are missing out), the antagonists are extremely annoying with a very unsatisfying ending. But overall, it is a happy-go-luck story to break OffGun's hiatus, because one thing that OffGun will do is work together as many times as possible, but it does not, neither it has to, bring anything new or challeging to their filmography. It's there just as much as Prem's grandmother is.

Soft and Innocuous
The story continues without highlights, moderately exciting. It's good to relax after a hard working day. Nice and enjoyable.More interesting is the relationship of Dynamite and Fire. It has much potential. In my opinion it comes too short and underachieves. The focus onto both could season the dishes.

Adorable más no memorable
Esta es la historia de Prem un estudiante de cocina y Ten un estudiante de medicina el cual luego de probar la comida de Prem queda encantado y con ganas de que él le enseñe a cocinar, pero mientras le enseña a cocinar irán surgiendo varias cosas entre ellas una historia de amor.Acaba de terminar esta serie y aquí ando yo dando mi opinión ?, La verdad esta serie no es la mejor que he visto del OffGun, pero es serie del OffGun y como fan del ship si soy, así que es una imperdible de ver. Debo admitir que siento que la serie le falto bastante, la trama es muy sosa e incluso puedo tornarse un poco aburrida y predecible, no tiene grandes emociones, la verdad, la serie en sí es un que te hace suspirar y listo, no tiene más que eso.
Con respecto a la actuación, la verdad he visto mejores trabajos del OffGun, pero igual esta serie es bonita, ellos transmiten lo que deben transmitir, aunque sentí algunas cosas un poco forzadas, o no sé si fueron impresiones mías, pero así lo sentí. Me gusto mucho la pareja secundaria, sin duda alguna a Neo lo puedes shipear con cualquier persona y hace una gran couple, incluso sentí más interesante esta segunda pareja que la principal, la verdad tiene mejor trama que la primaria, aunque hubiera amado más desarrollo en la secundaria, pero sabemos que no podía pedir tanto, ya que con mayor desarrollo me hubieran quitado más del OffGun y la serie no parecería de ellos, porque recalco, la trama principal de la serie es bien sosa y le falta sazón, ¿irónico cierto? ?.
Con respecto a la música es adecuada y me gusta, especialmente la intro, esa canción no se sale de mi cabeza, es pegadiza, pero siento que se puede olvidar con facilidad después de un tiempo.
¿La volvería a ver? No lo creo, como dije, amo a estas couple, pero tampoco soy de repetir series y esta no creo que sea para volver a ver, fue adorable, más no memorable en mi opinión. A todo fan del OffGun le recomiendo verla, van a pasar un lindo rato, pero tampoco piensen que es la mejor serie del mundo, ellos han tenido mejores trabajos, pero entre el guion y la dirección de esta serie como que no le ayudaron mucho a ellos.
Es una serie para pasar un buen rato, y listo, pero tenia otras expectativas con ella, quizás por eso no seria tan memorable para mi, a todo el que quería verla, que entre sin esperar mas que momentos lindos del OffGun.
Igual seguiré esperando más trabajos del OffGun porque realmente amo esta couple y siempre son un acierto, aunque sea para solo pasar el rato.
