Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist

Sweet and hollow as a marshmallow!

I am almost as disappointed as Mark was by how this drama turned out to be.

Now, there are two kinds of “no plot fluff” dramas. One that wraps you up in cozy, feel-good vibes and makes you feel warm. And then there is the other kind where it is so sugary, overloaded with sweetness and cliches, it gives you a sugar crash (metaphorical). This lands in the 2nd category for me.

The drama is light and fluffy, but it leans so far into cliche and surface-level storytelling that it forgets to offer anything remotely substantial. It started out promisingly with fun banter and a playful tone but quickly spiraled into repetitive campy comedy that we have already seen so many times.

Instead of staying in its fluff lane, the drama tried to juggle too many arcs with little to no payoff.
Romance? Check.
Jealousy arc? Check.
Family drama? Check.
Emotional growth? Well… it tried. Kind of. But none of it landed properly.

By the time we reached the last four episodes, it felt like someone had cut the script into pieces and taped them back in the wrong order. The editing was choppy and a bit incoherent.

Chemistry-wise, I will give credit where it’s due. The leads did have sparks and with a better script, I believe they could have delivered something memorable. But this script gave them so little to work with.
Still, their playful interactions and NC scenes were done tastefully well. Those moments did bring a silly smile to my face despite everything bland going on.

Another bright spot was Jimmy as Captain. He swooped in with such charm and even though he brought the classic jealous second lead trope, it somehow worked for me. He gave the show the energy it desperately needed.

I also enjoyed the OSTs here. Make me smile is my favourite from the lot!

In the end, this was a classic case of "style over substance", like a perfectly rich cake but when you cut into it, it's just air and disappointment.
Recommended If you are looking for fluff and fluff alone, this might scratch that itch. But don’t expect anything more than a cute smile and a lot of filler.

i dropped it i’m sorry

the show was good at the start, pretty much therapy it was so sweet and silly. until i’m not gonna lie it just got a bit boring… jimmy came in and there was a whole backstory and everytime there was a backstory i just could never be bothered to watch or care about it, it was obviously relevant but it felt like it was dragging a bit. i was on my phone for most of it because it was dragging on and on… tbf i saw a few clips and it turned out to be like quite sad or smth idrk, clearly i had dropped it by then. i’ve got no idea if i’ll ever complete this but it’s really not appealing to me.

it was silly and fun until it just felt like jay kept changing his mind and confusing sant and sant was falling for him but kind of refused to accept it, it just felt like it was never gonna work out especially when jimmy came in… i mean someone can totally prove me wrong and reply and tell me that it gets better but ive had it dropped for so long now, i think i got to like ep 6, started ep 7… kind of tempted to maybe keep going but i think i’d rather just watch something else

i think markohm deserved a better story because i know full well that they’re both incredible actors with lots of chemistry. i love them still but this drama is just not doing it for me
