Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist Episode 9

Dealing with the past the right way

I wasn't particularly happy with the previous episode, especially for the way it dealt with the strained relationship between Croissant and his mother. Now, for a change, I'm very pleased with the way Jay and his mom's relationship was presented and how that allowed more introspection for Jay - it all happened in a very calm and natural way, without needless drama or crying. I almost got teary watching Jay revealing his past to Sant, so honest and vulnerable thanks to Mark's very authentic performance. Scenes like that, where the actors themselves seems quite moved, show how good this series could have been with better and more consistent writing. MarkOhm keep carrying this show and scenes with those two are alone (regardless whether comedic, romantic, serious or even sad) are why I keep watching STGD and - on balance - consider it an imperfect, but decent show. P.S.: it's always good to see Khaotung working, especially when he's not under Jojo's horrible direction.
