if you are a MarkOhm fan too, you can watch this series once but I would not rewatch it.
I'm someone who has always loved Mark in every series, so when GMMTV finally announced that Mark is going to be a Main Lead in this series, I was obviously very excited about it. In the start I really liked it, I mean yes, at some points I did feel like Mark’s acting was a bit off but that was fine. I was starting to pull back from this series after like the 7th or 8th episode, the story was a bit stretched. While I'm currently struggling to make it past the 8th episode, I mean as a BL fan & as a MarkOhm fan I will watch this series because I love the chemistry between Mark & Ohm.So if you are a MarkOhm fan too, you can watch this series once but I would not rewatch it.

A Series with (Too Many) Good Ideas, But Far Too Late
It's tough to make a definitive judgment on this series. While it eventually brings some good ideas to the table, they arrive much too late to truly captivate. Episode 9 offers a slight glimmer of hope, but everything before it unfortunately feels pointless.The character development, despite obvious attempts, remains disappointingly superficial. Take Sant, for instance: his mommy issues from abandonment could have been a poignant arc, but it's bizarrely turned into a joke. You're left feeling utterly confused. Similarly, the relationship between Jay and his brother, full of potential, is only explored far too late in the series. It's frustrating to witness such wasted opportunity.
And let's talk about the product placement... it's so blatant and unsubtle that it becomes annoying after a while.
I also would have liked more depth in the relationship between Yada and Baipor. It's high time GMMTV took GL (Girls' Love) seriously and invested more in nuanced storytelling.
Thankfully, the character of Gugg is a breath of fresh air, and I really enjoyed their presence.
In short, if you're looking for a series to turn off your brain or just have on as background noise, this one will do. Otherwise, it feels like GMMTV is playing with its audience once again.

I was hoping for a BL about a dentist/patient with a phobia, but ლಠ益ಠ)ლ
PLOT: Sant, a student and streamer who tests desserts, ends up with a terrible toothache. He gets treatment at the dental school from a student, Jay, who takes care of him (even outside of school). The two end up becoming a couple, despite Captain, a love rival. Kak, Sant's best friend, has a crush on Yada (Jay's friend, bisexual, who's in a relationship with her girlfriend). But Yada gets dumped by her...+++Mark and Ohm are both excellent actors with great chemistry.
+++ The cast is good: Jimmy, Poon, and the others.
BUT:
### Slow direction, with ridiculous twists, a wacky, even absurd tone. This wants to be a comedy, but it failed.
### Empty and poorly written story.
### Unbearable series even in FF.
=> Please, stop wasting the actors'talent and resources on scripts like these!!
***************************************************************
J'espérais une BL dentiste / patient avec phobie, mais j'ai été déçue
PLOT: Sant, un étudiant & streamer "testeur de desserts" finit par avoir 1 belle rage de dents. Il se fait soigner à la Fac dentaire, par 1 étudiant, Jay, qui prend soin de lui (y compris hors de la fac). Les 2 finissent par former un couple, malgré Captain, 1 love rival. Kak, meilleur ami de Sant, a 1 crush sur Yada (amie bi de Jay, en couple avec 1 fille). Mais Yada est quittée par sa copine ...
+++Mark & Ohm sont tous 2 d'excellents acteurs, avec 1 belle alchimie.
+++ Le cast est bon : Jimmy, Poon, et les autres.
MAIS :
### Réalis° lente, avec des twists ridicules, un ton farfelu voire absurde.
### Story vide et mal écrite.
### Insupportable même en FF.
=> SVP, cessez de gâcher le talent des acteurs, des ressources, dans des scripts pareils !!

A fun way to pass time
The story isn’t too complicated, but it also has some substance. The actors did a great job and had pretty good chemistry. Some parts read like a PSA on having good dental hygiene, which I thought was cute and worked well for the plot.Overall, if you don’t think too much about it, you’ll have fun.

Why do people hate this so much??
As soon as MarkOhm were announced as a pairing, I was immediately so excited for this. And they didn't disappoint!! I watched this series while it was ongoing, and found myself excited for the next episode to air every week.This series is sickeningly sweet, and cringey in all the good ways. It had me rolling on the floor laughing every episode. I do get why some people may not like this though, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Mark and Ohm's chemistry is wonderful, and they work so well together. They're comedic gold together, and they're both so charming but silly. I think they were the perfect casting for this.
This show wasn't very serious, apart from Sant's trauma side plot, but it still worked very well. The plot is simple but great. I also found myself loving all the side couples!
The sudden introduction of Jimmy was an amazing surprise, and Sea's cameo in the end was so cute!! This is the type of series you just sit down for, turn your brain off, and enjoy.
The music was also amazing. The OST had me jamming everytime, and the music in the series itself was also great. The sound effects were also perfect.
Finally, the finale was very sweet. It had a great ending, and I'm so excited to see more of MarkOhm and the others.

cute but pretty slow
I did like this but in a way it took so long for me to finish, I would literally sigh everytime I had to watch it, BUT; when i finally did watch it I felt so much happiness. I did take off some points because I felt like it was too much of joking around, which is funny and all but when it’s all just joking it kind of gets old, like yes, they switch it at like episode 8/9/10 and we found out jay’s brother passed away and Jay tried to take his brothers place (in a good way) but still during that it was all just joking around after that. other than that though I did really like Jay and Sant’s relationship, and even though I would probably not rewatch, I will 100% still think about them.Was this review helpful to you?
MarkOhm deserved a better project
I was going into this open minded. I watched this only because Mark and Ohm was in it. unfortunately the show did not have even a decent script, direction was off to me and really cringy in some parts. I actually didn’t watch the last few episodes for a while, almost dropped it but since there were only a few ep left I finished. I really like MarkOhm together and they have really good chemistry. With a better plot and better script, I think that they could really shine. This project for them was not it. please give them a better project. Love you MarkOhm <3Was this review helpful to you?
I don't know if it's me but I feel a lot of show these day become boring after a few episode?
I hope they give MarkOhm a better show next time. I feel bad to know they are somehow taking the blame for the show's view...
Anyway I love Viewmim!

Too Many Ads and a Bad Script, but a Couple with Chemistry
Sweet Tooth Good Dentist has a lot of problems. The script is weak, the characters are uninteresting, and the constant product placement is incredibly annoying. The ads are inserted in such an obvious and forced way that they completely disrupt the flow of the story.It's surprising (and disappointing) that this story comes from such a well-known nóvel writer — the same one behind 2gether. I expected much more. The plot goes nowhere: it's a repetitive cycle of going to the dentist, coming back from the dentist, over and over again, without any real development. There's a small conflict involving Jimmy’s character that shows some potential, but it quickly gets lost in the overall dullness.
The supporting characters don't add much; they're generic and forgettable. However, the main couple is the highlight of the series. They have great chemistry and deliver solid performances, even with such a limited script. You can tell they gave it their all, and they definitely deserve another series — with a better story.
In the end, Sweet Tooth Good Dentist is slow, repetitive, and poorly written. The cast's effort wasn’t enough to save a series that fails at the most basic task: telling a good story.

This was not it
I feel like this series had so much potential, but it just kept missing the mark (no pun intended).I don’t know why, but for some reason, Mark and Ohm just do not vibe for me. It makes no sense - both are good actors, they get along great, but I felt like that chemistry we normally see in onscreen couples wasn’t there. Mark can literally have chemistry with a brick wall, so I have no idea what happened here. I don’t know if it was them, the writing, the story itself…it just didn’t feel right at all. (I will admit that Ohm’s crying needs a lot more practice. Yikes.)
The writing was rather bland, too, I’m sad to say. It was really predictable, and I felt like I was pushing myself to keep watching?
At one point, I almost dropped the series because of the plot line around Sant’s mother. I’m sorry, but I get so pissed off with the whole “forgive your parent” line. The woman:
- agreed to leave her son behind for a new life
- abandoned him in a dentist, which caused a lifelong fear of dentists and abandonment for him. Let’s not forget that the dentist was most likely a stranger, which makes it worse.
- Left her elderly parents to care for her son.
Now, I don’t care if she was always planning on coming back for him - she left him without a word, in a dentist in what was most likely an unsafe neighbourhood for a small boy to be alone. The fact the show had everyone trying to make Sant forgive her just angered me so much. Yeah, she got screwed and ended up in a poorly paying job; boo-fucking-hoo. Oh, you watch his Lives all the time - and? You made the decision to abandon your family for a better life for yourself. (I got really tilted about this, to the point where I had to take a break halfway through the episode because I was so angry at the writers.) Also, the grandma using her health condition as a way to coerce Sant into forgiving his mother…naw. The absolute rage I felt.
I feel bad for the cast, especially since Mark addressed the lukewarm reception this series had. It sucks because he is such a fantastic actor, but this show was just so lacking. If I’m honest, I think I only kept up with it out of loyalty to Mark (and Khaotung XD must watch everything he’s in, even if it’s only a cameo).
The last episode was confusing. The time skipping, then Sang saying his grandparents wanted him to stay - they didn’t, he just overheard them saying they couldn’t do it anymore. And then his mother showing up and being all loving and wanting to take responsibility and help out; that REALLY pissed me off. (I legit spent half an hour ranting to my own mother about this character 🤣 I hate this writing so much.)
Overall, this show did have potential but it fell flat on its face. When I found out MarkOhm have been made an official pairing I was actually really gutted because I feel like Mark deserves a lot more. No offence to Ohm, he’s a young actor and still newish, and I’m hoping this series is a fluke and just bad writing, but this pairing did not hit at all. I’m hoping their next venture together will be much more enjoyable.
(I wanted to put half a star for rewatch value, but MDL won’t let me 🤨)

The plot started off terribly, and then I started to cry like a baby
Cute ass show until it wasn't, and then back to cute, yay! Just watch it. The first 9 episodes are hard, but it becomes good after that, I swear. I would give it an 8.5 (8.7 bc the first couple of episodes) out of 10. I actually wrote notes for this, so we are going to look at the pros, cons, and then do an episode overview.Okay, so I like the thing with the brother. Fantastic. SO FANTASTIC THAT I STARTED FUCKING CRYING WHEN HE GOT IN THAT CAR ACCIDENT AND WENT HOME, AND HIS BROTHER WAS THERE. For reference, I have only cried to two other Thai dramas before, until we meet again and kinnpsoche. I just think that this show did a great job of showing sibling love and how much you will miss them when they are gone, and I started to cry, just straight up and sob, and my roommates were judging me, but I couldn't stop crying. It just made me think about losing my sister, and I just lost it, holy fuck. So they did that scene fucking GREAT. I don't know what happened to the rest of the show though lmao. After episode 9, the show became absolute fucking cinema. Mark and Ohm have great chemistry, fantastic, even though they have the Force Book effect. That means the longer they are on screen together, the more they look like siblings. Fire sex scenes, because we have such good chemistry. Fantastic. I liked the characters; they were fun, and they were really cute, and I liked that. Going back to the brother thing because I mentioned in my notes a few times. I like how they showed that even the people with the biggest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The fact that his brother died on his birthday, the fact that he was doing all of this to live out the dream his brother wanted just for his mom, actually broke me. That was such good writing, and the fact that Khao played the dead brother made it 100 times better. He just wanted to continue his legacy, and in the process forgot his own dream, which is when Ohm's character comes in and brings the dream back so he can do both. God, that was perfect. This lowkey gives fish upon the sky, so I liked that aspect. The ending lowkey absorbs at the end into a whole bunch of sex, and I am actually okay with it because I did not need to cry more to a show can't sweet tooth dentist bull hooky. I pray they get another show together with a better plot throughout and a holy bunch of eye fucking on g. JESUS CHRIST OHM IS LITERALLY SO SEXY, HIM AND HIS EYES AND HIS BODY. JESUS FUCK I WAS GENIUELY GOING TO TOWN UNDER THE TABLE. JIMMYSEA CAMEO WAS THE BEST THING EVER, AND I LOVED THAT. Also, they were very aware in this show; it was funny. Apart from Ohm's gorgeous everything, his eyebrows ARE SEXY HOLY FUCK. And that is it.
Going into the cons, which is one of the major things in this show is the plot at the start. For the first 8 episodes out of 11, the plot was fucking terrible. I don't know who they have WRITING the sceond half but they needed to write this full thing because that was great, but the first halfway, it was so boring and I was just really confused because he didn't like him and then he did and then turns out it was a set up and then I am like what the fuck are we even doing right now. We also did way too much jumping around with the flashbacks, so that the show became hard to follow during those parts. Oh my god, we did not need all that. Also, my favorite ship, Gug and the girl, got nuked, and it was a sad fucking day. They would have done numbers. Numbers in my heart, that is, but that is fine. Wasted potential with them, I fear. And the second-hand embarrassment this gave me made this hard, such a hard watch, holy fuck, I can't. THEY SHOULD HAVE A TRIGGER WARNING BECAUSE I HAVE HAD 2 ROOT CANALS. Very touchy subject lmao. I am playing, lol. Yeah, just overall, the show is lacking plot at the start. Also, the whole shit about him being left at the dentist, what the fuck are y'all even on about? We could have done something better than that. Random ass love triangle in the middle, irrelevant, and just made the show more boring. And that is all.
Okay, let's see my thoughts on the episodes. "hout out caivity gang bc i have 16 (THEY ARE ALL FILLED AND IT IS BC MY OLD DENTIST WAS ASS) cavities. MARKKKKKKK MY DADDY. OHM is good-looking, too. My wisdom teeth are currently growing in, and I feel that pain lmao. Ohm is such a looker." " TOO REAL TOO REAL. NOT THE ROOT CANAL. Where is my trigger warning? Me and my two root canals are offended. It takes like 2 hours, and it hurts so bad." " I don’t know how they’re gonna drag this out for another 10 episodes, but I’m interested." "It is giving fish upon the sky lmao. But more chaos and less structure lmao." "Solution: get a job? Actually, he has too many jobs nvm. Blame the government on g. They are having a field day with this editing. It's giving less funny and less plot fish upon the sky." "This show is genuinely so embarrassing. I can't. The ending was cute." " I dont know if Ohm came out of the womb with these gorgeous eyebrows or whoever threaded them, whatever, they are so gorgeous and frame his face so nicely." " NO, MY FAVE COUPLE. NO WAY, I'M GONNA CRY. YOU ARE STOMPING MY HEART OUT, RN. Aw, that sucks. Same thing. MAL INTENT FROM THE OTHER HALF OF OUR LOVE TRIANGLE. These ads are cock blocking." "WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH CHEMISTRY? I DON'T RECALL. OUCH. MARK WANT THAT COOKIE ALMOST AS MUCH I DOOOO. Can these two handsome men just kiss and be happy? Of course not, why would you think that?" "NO, THEY ARE GETTING ME WITH THIS SOB STORY I FEAR." "He gave up his dream for his brother, who never got to live out his. I am lowkey fighting demons not to cry rn. This got me thinking about my own sister now, and now I'm really sad. Holy fuck, this is making me all types of sad. Chills." "What is with this sad ass music? What are we doing? Pls dont get into a car accident, pls dont, bad idea, pls dont. He's about to get into a car accident. Had me on the edge of my seat, I fear. FUCKKK I KNEW IT. How the day was supposed to happen. Two sons, two car accidents. Thankfully, plot armor will save him. I feel actually gutted rn. I fear I am sobbing rn. Oh my lord. The thought of losing my sister is making me so fucking sad right now, my lord. I haven't cried to a Thai drama since Until We Meet Again, my lord. No way this fuck ass show got me. There's actually no way. Damn, y'all. Back to back 10s bc they just got my ass. The plot started off so bad, and it just got so good, oh my lord. I need a super mega happy ending, pls, I'm begging, I dont wanna cry anymore." "Cute ending to a show that did about 3 180s. This episode was reminiscing. We're having sex, we're talking about sex, and about two Jimmy Sea cameos. Random but felt just right."
Watch for the final 3 episodes. Okay bye!

Sorry I can’t bring myself to ship the main leads :(
Mark has demonstrated multiple times that he can create magic with literally anyone he acts with – no matter the gender. So why did the chemistry fall so flat in this series?The story seems fine conceptually. A patient has to overcome his fear of dentists to receive treatment for a toothache, and ends up developing a long-term relationship with his dentist. But something about this show just didn’t sit right with me.
Maybe it was the storytelling, or maybe it was the utter lack of chemistry. There’s also the matter of a love triangle with Jimmy (!!) coming into the fold. Not to mention, Jimmy and Ohm have zero chemistry as well, so it was completely unbelievable.
There was nothing to keep me hooked to the series – the story was largely dull and there was nothing meaningful happening. The love triangle was ridiculous. And the chemistry between Mark and Ohm was practically non-existent in this series, perhaps because their characters seemed so childish all the time.
Was it a casting problem? A storyline problem? A screenwriting problem? Perhaps a little of each.
Would I be willing to give Mark and Ohm another chance? Yes. I believe in their abilities. But Sweet Tooth Good Dentist did absolutely nothing for them.
