Slow Burn Romance
Fresh drama with many interesting characters and storyline. I watched without any expectations because i was afraid i would get disappointed but nope the writer proved me wrong. I just loooove the 3 pairs so much. Each of them is well written with solid back stories. Dr ai and zeng li are shown similar to each other, a loner at first, had wound and sad family stories. So they clicked so fast and deeply fell in love with one another. Yiyi and haoran 's bickering would never fail to make me smile, childish but had 1001 hidden stories. For Wu ying and liu yu feng couple, i didn't expect them to last longer at first bcs i didn't really see wu ying feelings, turned out she also loves him as much as he does, it's just she can easily hide her feelings. I love how we saw liu yi feng a bit childish at first but he's actually rational and knows what he wanted, and will value them with his life.The pairs might not be perfect, but they will keep becoming a better and bigger person.
And did i mention how i love dr ai proposal? So so heart fluttering. The hidden ring in the book is such a genius move ❤️. He surely knows how to flirt, lol.

Its very good down to earth solid drama
this is a very cliche various tropes but solid drama with a bunch of good vibes..its light and fluffy.. with a hint of melodrama that doesnt dive too deep but just enough to cause some heartache/sorrow..
like most dramas its a mix of tropes.. but these are done well and blended together and not one storyline truly overshadows all the other side plots...
there are 3 couples / 6 ppl that all grow and develop as the drama moves forwards.. some more than others but they are all relativately equally spread out in terms of plot points and resolutions..
each character basically has to find themselves and accept their insecurities.. as well as each others insecurities..
theres truly not out of the blue plot points.. well..technically there is.. which is the one thing i dont understand how it helped either character.. but i personally just wrote it off as these characters needed something else as a conflict/endgame.. but.. it def felt forces/unneccessary.. but eh.. thats just me
the friendship between the girls were amazing and fun to watch.. the interaction between the 6 was great...
im not a great judge of acting.. but it wasnt bad in my opinion.. others may disagree
the music was nice.. and wasnt too out of place...
this was a drama u can watch and smile throughout and just enjoy.. while u forget life for about 40 mins at a time
thanks

A really good bit of fluff
This is the perfect watch if you're just looking for a lighthearted, non-serious bit of cute fluff. It's a really quick watch and it left me feeling quite content and relaxed. I didn't have to use any brainpower to watch it - just enjoy the simple, cliche set-up.The main characters are pretty naive, but it's not done in an annoying way. Instead, the naivety is endearing and their personalities and likeable. Due to this, I think Bi Wen Jun portrays his role very well, as he blends the adult role well with the simplicity that's expected from his character and Betty Wu is just a cutie.
Plot-wise nothing major really happens, it's cliche and full of tropes but you can't beat a classic storyline and as long as you're not expecting anything earth-shattering then it's a very pleasant watch that's easy to follow along with. The side characters are relevant, well-rounded and have their own storylines which adds nice layering to the show to keep it a bit more lively and interesting.
The visuals were great - the scenery and cinematography were very pretty.
Again, this is pretty much just fluff so if you're looking for anything more exciting this isn't for you. Perfect for a bit of cute fluff to brighten the day and relax while watching.

The best thing of this drama is the realistic viewpoints of love, friendship . Age gap, inexperienced couple, playboy phase, divorce and remarriage etc are some of the views of today's relationships which were individually portrayed by the lead characters. The natural attraction towards others and the character development of each character added so much more to the story. The story was on point and well written.
I especially loved that the secondary couples' story was rich and added a lot to the drama. Also the fact that there were no annoying second leads, misunderstandings, chichés, deserve a big thumbs up.
Big props to the amazing OST, aesthetics and visuals (I could literally go on writing about their looks. The boys are fine AF and the girls are damn pretty).
Overall if you're looking for something sweet, fluffy and realistic I highly suggest you to watch it.

Fun and light drama
I have watched countless romantic drama series but this is probably the first time I rooted for the main leads that much, and for them to be together asap. Such well written story and characters. They are such kind souls that deserve happiness, and deserve each other. <3 And the second leads’ stories and characters are much thought of just as much as the main so I never skipped much of their scenes unlike other c-dramas. I’m glad I gave this drama a try. It was fun and light, good for the soul drama. :)Was this review helpful to you?

A GOOD WATCH
I enjoyed the drama so much! i was looking for a drama that can make me feel so single and this drama did made me feel so single!Although i must admit that i liked it, it might not be for everyone. It might not be for you if you're looking for a heavy drama because it's clearly not.
It's not really the perfect type of drama, i won't say that it's a masterpiece either but it's a good watch, i enjoyed and liked it. There are some cliché scenes but i guess that much was to be expected for light dramas like this.
I loved the fact that they showed us about the leads being supportive and moving away from so much misunderstanding and break up tropes.
About the characters, personally, i found the fl cute and the ml nice.
I liked how ml seemed really cold but he's not really cold, he's sweet and nice, he just does not talk that much. He was very in touch with his emotions and of those around him. He just chose to not say anything and just help everyone in small ways instead of saying so much things.
The fl is the type of person who simply enjoys living. She does not really have a set goal in life other than simply enjoying it. She works in a library because she likes to read, she opened a cafe with her friends to spend time with them. She wrote a story because she likes writing. She just does what makes her happy. Some might find her annoying for that but she's depicted as someone who finds joy in the small things in life. And it made me like her a lot.
I also loved the fact that she's considered pretty and not as nerd because she is indeed pretty.. It's just that in most drama, if you have braces or you wear glasses, you are considered as either a nerd or a loser when you're not even one.
And of course, let's talk about the supporting cast, each of them did really good. The three girls were very interesting contrasts to each other.
They are all different from each other, different personality, thoughts and lovelifes but they go well with each other. Their friendship was so amazing. They all knew how to support each other without trying to push their own thoughts instead they listen and comfort each other. I want that kind of friends.
Ai Jing Chu and Zheng Li as a couple were really sweet. A dentist and a librarian, i found that rare! i haven't really seen any couples from other dramas with that job! I loved the late night dates so much!! their misunderstandings were solved quickly and there's no breakup. I also liked how they supported each other throughout! The love triangle towards the middle were handled well, Yu Yi was also so nice and respectful towards them two.
Liu Yu Cheng and Wu Ying as couple were really cute. An older woman and younger guy, i really loved their relationship! Liu yu cheng was so sweet and caring towards wu ying, i love them so much! i love how they solved their problem towards the end, they handled that pretty well.
Deng Hao Ran and Ma Yi Yi as a couple were hot. A friend to lover trope. The playboy one and someone who easily falls in love. They're cool, i didn't really like them as much as i do with the other couples but i still liked them. I liked their scene at the end, they're so sweet. I want a brother and a friend like deng hao ran, someone who'll make me happy when i'm unhappy! Ma yi yi on the other hand is quite annoying but she's a really good friend.
Zheng li's story was explained well even though it was explained only through the book. Using her book to tell the story both past and future was a great method.
Overall a good watch! if you're into light or fluffy dramas then you should give this a try! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Sweet, fluffy and annoying at times
This is a sweet, easy to watch, easy to binge drama with little drama and more fluff. The female lead is a bit overbearing at times in the first couple of episodes but calms down and is actually pretty smart and nice. The male lead is all kinds of nice and fluffy, not really and more of a pearl tea than the typical icicle we are used to from other c-dramas. The relationship as a whole progresses slowly and aside for a few drunken kisses here and there all three couples seem to respect each others boundaries. I honestly do not think a single person was pushed up against a wall or put in a position they could not get out of.The friendships here are also beautiful as well as this dramas take on jealousy and communication, So + for that to. The biggest downside to this drama is immaturity and bad fake loudly crying here and there... especially by one of the female leads best friends. I honestly just had to skip her scenes because she was just over the top annoyingly selfish and stupid.
All in all definitely worth a watch, but could use more scenes between the main couple...

Surprisingly deep, feel good story. Makes you care about all three couples
Enjoyed the calm paced story. This was the first story in cdramas which made me invest in all three couples. Honestly the other two couples were etched out with more personality and chutzpah than the ML-FL pair. They were angular , fun, brash and very strong characters. None of the vibrancy of the side couples was found in the main couple, who were just a pair of serious and sincere and slightly drab people. The story of the ML and FL felt like one of those warm sweet and utterly forgettable story one hears of their Aunts and Uncles in 1970s.Still the main couple were like the center of the storm and all the action took place outside the periphery of their lives. If their story had more passion and struggle and people stepping out of their comfort zone, the story would have got a lot of fame that it deserved.

Subtly sweet, Better than expected
I lowered to not much expectation for this drama but was curious after watching YT clips.It started off on a note telling you not to take it seriously. FL has an inner drama queen, furnished with monologues and an active imagination that comes with the territory as a part time writer. Then slowly it evolves.
Before I knew it the characters have back story and become more than an idol drama. Both FL and ML are not exactly the proactive type. ML has a strict routine but when FL makes an impression to him, it was very evident the steps he take and the changes he make so as to interact with her more. Some people call this a slow burn romance. Which i agree partially. FL has postive feelings but is a type who isnt terribly confident in herself and inexperience in relationships. But the many episodes of them spending time together and enjoying each others company in that blurry line of doctor-patient, friend or more than friend was nice.
The love triangle was nicely written too, with a plotline that links back to the past. It didnt drag as well. So what could have been annoying only help to unravel the knot and make it. clear to FL what her heart feels.
Switch to the secondary lovestories, both besties of FL. I like Wu Ying's story better. I did skip on Ma Yi Yi's part. But i have to say FL's bro was pretty cute in the way that he is protective in a sweet way.
I skimmed the novel. There are many shared scenes and dialogue with the drama. But they have dial down ML's character. The drama version was much more mild. Lastly, although I did enjoy the drama on most parts, I still find the acting lacking. Betty Wu was still better than what Ive seen in her previous drama. Alot of her expressions reminsicent to her persona in reality shows. For ML he had som good scenes and some not so. When the dualogue says he looks at FL with stars in his eyes, i cant help eyerolling. Because i didnt feel it. I am jus so aware he is acting and you dont feel hes as atrracted to her as the script calls for.
Honestly we had alot of C dramas in this category and you cant help comparing. We've been treated to idol-actor CPs who had better chemistry (eg Our secret imo). I keep thinking the delivery could have been different with different actors. And that affects the depth of the drama to me. All in all, its still a breezy watch.

Not as good as i had liked
So this is my first review, please do not mind my english.I am dissapointed in this drama, it looked like the perfect drama for me. I really like sweet and romance drama where there is not a lot to think about. However after the first couple of episodes i allready fast forward more than i really watched. The best thing about this drama is the brother of the FL. His acting is good and i found my self more involved in his story than the main leads.
I loved the older woman/younger man couple, i was really happy with the way this storyline came to a end.
The story has a lot of loopholes and was weird at times. I did like the OTS, it had a happy tune.
It could have been a very sweet and fluffy drama, however i found it boring at times and so unrealistic that i could not watch it. There was no "fire" between the main leads.

one of the sweetest dramas
I was searching for a new romance drama to watch and then I remembered I have Sweet Teeth on my watchlist. Starting it, I was not really expecting much from it, but it turned out to be a sweet, light-hearted drama to watch after a long workday or whenever you want to watch something light without much unnecessary drama in it.In Sweet Teeth we have 3 couples, one main couple and two side couples. The main couple Zeng Li and Ai Jing Chu were sweet, you could tell early on that they have feelings for each other, but it took them some time to realize it themselves. I found both likeable and they made a perfect couple indeed.
My personal favourite couple were Wu Ying and Liu You Cheng, these two were the cutest and I cheered for them the most. I found there worries and fears about the relationship understandable but I’m happy they overcome all the struggles together.
Third and last couple are Ma Yi Yi and Deng Hao Ran, they also made a great couple but for me these two were the least interesting. I love the role of Ma Yi Yi though.
I don’t think this review of the drama involves spoilers because you can easily tell you ends up with who when looking at the poster lol
Acting – it was my first drama with all of the leads, only Zhai Xiao Wen I’m seeing in Falling Into Your Smile right now too. I feel like everyone did a really good job. I especially like Wu Xuan Yi’s performance as Zeng Li.
I would recommend this drama to everyone that loves a good romance drama and I’m even thinking of re-watching it at some point.
