Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist

This Sweet Tooth Needs Some Filling...

THINGS I LOVE!!!!

The Cast, Characters and Chemistry:
I love me some View, Poon, and Jimmy, and honestly, they nailed their roles. Each scene felt good because of their sincerity thanks to them.
But the stars of this series, Mark and Ohm?! Their on‑screen chemistry was otherworldly. Episodes 11 and 12 alone felt like a fever dream; have you seen those kissing scenes? It was sizzling yet so sweet, it literally was tooth-aching, cheek-blushing kind of fluff. That kind of spark felt too precious to waste—and this series was made for that, unfortunately.
The anticipated time‑skip, although it felt lazy and rushed, they pieced it together quite well and I liked it along with a “close‑to‑perfection” finale.
Classic Rom-Com Charm:
The show opens with a caricatured, rom-com style in overdrive and honestly, I lived for it. This is the kind of template that most rom-com series have been following—which made me smile mainly because of two things; it was seriously fluffy and funny or it was full of silly antics and nonsensical banter that I can't help but chuckle. Although, it can be cringey at times, it doesn't bother me as much.
Character portrayals and personalities are delightfully quirky; they bring flavor even when the plot flounders.
Cinematography & Setting:
The opening episodes did well in pacing, scene composition, and editing—it’s classic GMMTV rom-com territory done right.
The countryside aesthetic is nice, cozy and nostalgic. Have we seen this on other series before? Yes, but when used sparingly, it adds warm, airy space from the usual angst and plot-heavy set‑ups which this series needed.
Soundtrack:
The music isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s upbeat and poppy, which gives that teenage‑love‑feels which was enough to lighten up the mood. Also, Ohm sung that "Make Me Smile" song?! I needed to confirm it beforehand because I wasn't that sure, he sounded nice.

THINGS THAT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER:
Over‑the‑Top & Filler Scenes:
Despite the sizzling chemistry, wonderful cast lineup and good character portrayals, some scenes feel niche, tacky or exaggerated.
The entirety of that "who liked who first" thing was dragged on and on, not only they really stretched out this narrative but also some scenes doesn't sit well with me. Like how Sant feeds off to the kindness Jway has been showing and still finds a way to be kind of a jerk.
Character Arcs Falling Flat:
Sant promises Jway all of many things only to be left in the mud, and poor Jway just smiles and shakes it off, not expressing any bit of frustration nor talking it out with Sant, which came out as a forced positivity rather than authentic understanding which doesn't emotionally resonate with me.
Jway’s backstory has real emotional weight but isn’t handled with the taste and nuance it deserves. Honestly, could've made it all work—if this series isn't so plot heavy. There's a right balance between fluff, comedy, substance and story that could pull it off beautifully.
Underdeveloped Side Stories:
As much as I love View and Mim, the Yada–Baipor arc doesn’t leave an impression. Mainly because it added no substance nor narrative to the series itself. Also, Gugg’s romantic side‑quest felt like filler. Don't get me wrong, Gugg and View did engage in some meaningful conversations to each other and with the main characters, but those arc just falters because of the writing.
Inconsistencies in Editorial Precision:
It started fine as I said earlier, clean editing and crisp pacing. Somewhere along the way, editing becomes sloppy with patchy cuts—which is a recipe for inconsistent, incoherent and hard to follow scenes.

WHAT RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY:
The major issue here isn't the actors themselves, but because of how some of the scenes were written. The writing around Sant’s reconciliation with his mother feels hollow—she does nothing but look pitiful, while others gaslight Sant. I didn't even feel that his mother does any steps to reconcile or even approach his son. Instead of genuine empathy, it felt like emotional manipulation. What makes it even more infuriating is his grandmother, she seizes a time of vulnerability to make his grandson do as she says.
The ultimate pain here is that the dialogue was all over the place: too vague, too ambiguous. The viewers were also bombarded with arc after arc, but no real substance. The clarity was diminished as the series goes on, and a lot of emotional resonance gets lost in the clutter. Character motivations become fuzzy, and the viewer ends up more confused than moved.

OVERALL:
Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist is a sweet, silly, wholesome series—elevated by adorable antics and MarkOhm’s sweet chemistry—but constrained by a messy plot and murky writing. It brought plenty of laughs and blushes, but also felt rough around the edges—sometimes even clipping the cast’s full potential.
If you love cute, lighthearted BL with a healthy dose of rom-com flair, this will likely be your cup of tea. But I can’t help wishing it had leaned a bit more into clarity, refinement, and emotional depth—so its delightful sparks wouldn’t be dimmed by sloppy storytelling and showcase the full potential of its great actors.

So sweet that I got a toothache!

Honestly, I've seen most reviews not being positive, but I decided to give it a try since I like Mark. Let me say I was NOT disappointed!! If you like feel good, lol moments, and a bit of sadness, this story is for you!!

The ending was perfect too and I honestly don't hate the time skip because it's nice to know that even after 3 years, they are still madly in love with another (q-q)

The things I like:
- The casting was so cute! MarkOhm did such a good job in portraying the characters and the chemistry too?? I want to hide because of how sweet (and cringey of course lmao) it was. The playfulness and tension between them on certain scenes left me blushing //cover eyes//
- Green Flags!! Gotta give it to Jway of course AND Captain! He appears to be a rival but honestly, it wasn't that bad and he backed off the moment he knew who Sant chose.
- Conflict?? What's that? Seriously, they didn't have any argument that led to them fighting for days - nor do they have the typical conflict that would cause the couple to break up at the last ep to then get back together. I PRAISE THIS BECAUSE IM TIRED OF THOSE! I JUST WANT FLUFF COUPLE MOMENTS PLEASE
- They COMMUNICATE! Especially when they are together, I love how Jway and Sant will speak their minds.
- Side characters: props to Kak tbh for never trying to 'steal' Yada even after her and her gf broke up. I applaud that they made him a friend that is always supporting Yada and tries to help mend their relationship.

Just my preference: I was happy when they just hinted whenever they just hinted slept together (a few times i might say lmaoo). However there is one NC (i guess it kinda count?) at the end, but honestly it wasn't as intense as other GMMTV ones which is perfect for me lmao

Sweet Acting Hindered by a Script Cavity

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

Overall, this was a very cute series. The script was not great at times, but at least it was entertaining. It did a good job with setting up the premise and introducing all of the characters. The main problem is the quality of the script was not consistent. It started off very enjoyable, but then episode 4 – 6 became frustrating. Then the enjoyable factor came back by episode 7. Unfortunately, some of this was lost with episode 9 because the script and editing was a mess. There were random unneeded scenes that didn’t really make sense mixed in with scenes that introduce key facts about Jay. Because of this, those scenes lost some of its emotional impact. Although emotional, episode 10 regain a good quality. However, the quality suffers again in episode 11 because it was very rushed. Another weak aspect of the script for me was the storyline involving Kak and Yada. For a random positive aspect, they did a great job using different screen formats to establish the flashback scenes involving Jay and Sant first day they met. I also like the use of cinematography with the scenes in episode 10.

Personally, I thought the cast did a great job. They did their best to make this work. There is only so much an actor can do with a poorly constructed script. Another factor that needs to be considered is the director’s choices. I think views forget that actors don’t always have much freedom with creating their characters. Ultimately, they have to follow the director’s view of how they want the characters to be portrayed.

Random Notes:

The guest spot with Sea Tawinan was cutie.

This is just a theory, but I think the quality of episode 9 and 11 suffered because they decided to eliminate episode 12. This would explain the odd editing choices which made each episode seem rushed by throwing a lot of information at the viewers. There was also a lot of things that was introduced in the last episode that didn’t make sense.

I don’t know if this was just a bad translation or a cultural difference, but the term tomboy has a different meaning in the U.S. This usually just refers to an individual that tends to express themselves with masculine character traits, not someone’s sexual orientation.

(Added on 4/5/2026): The location used for Jay’s childhood home was also used in the series “To the Moon and Back” (Trai’s parents’ home).


******Potential Spoiler Alert******

I was already annoyed with the “I’m not going to say it first” back and forth between Jay and Sant when they had to add the stupid love triangle in episode 5. This just added another level of frustration, but thankfully this did not last long. I understand this was probably in the novel, but not everything in the novel needs to be in the series too.

I just could not get into the storyline between Kak and Yada. I like the characters separately, but not together. this also felt like it was used as a time filler. I winded up skip all the scenes involving them.

I actually didn’t mind the 3-year time jump because it made sense. What I didn’t like is they didn’t explain some things. Why did it take Sant longer to graduate and when did Kak get involved with music or have a band. I must have missed something.

Feel Good Drama With A Side Of Toothache

I saw a bunch of negative comments about Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, but honestly, I didn’t pay much attention to them. I’ve always had a soft spot for rom-coms, so I gave it a try, and actually it's not bad and really liked the first episode.

STGD is super cute, lighthearted, and funny. It’s definitely one of those comfort series you can turn to when you're feeling down. The cinematography and color grading are also really charming.

Even though it’s mostly a rom-com, there’s a bit of drama mixed in, especially with Sant’s and Jway's sad backstory, which adds some emotional depth.

Now let’s talk about Mark and Ohm, their chemistry is off the charts. I could really see the connection between them. I know people say the series isn’t doing well, but I truly hope this pairing gets another chance. You can tell they gave it their all. I’ve seen Mark in supporting roles before and he always stands out, he’s a really talented actor. Same goes for Ohm.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the series, but I think they both deserve better writing. Still, Mark’s acting—especially in the jealousy scenes, is so good. The way he expresses emotions with his eyes, movements, and expressions says everything without overdoing it. Ohm nailed his role too. None of the acting felt cringey at all, and the pacing kept things from ever getting boring.

I know some viewers didn’t love Captain’s appearance in the later episodes, or how Sant kept pushing Jway away, but I actually didn’t mind it. The conflict added a bit of spice and made things feel more realistic. Jway finding little excuses just to be near Sant? Adorable.

I was laughing from start to finish. Sure, there’s a plot hole here and there, but it didn’t really bother me. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed STGD and I’d happily recommend it to anyone who just wants a feel-good, funny, and sweet series to unwind with.

Flawed and messy, but not bad

MarkOhm’s debut series surprised me in several ways, both positive and negative. Generally I enjoyed it, mostly due to good performances of the main couple and some of the supporting cast, while the plot, writing and editing were the show’s weakest parts.

Let’s start with what was surprising and disappointing at the same time: plot and writing. "Classic" BL plot is simple: main characters meet, fall for each other, overcome whatever obstacles prevent them from becoming a couple and become a couple; at this point show either ends or main characters do something unrelated to their relationship. Diversions from this formula are welcomed, but often appear to be not thought through sufficiently. This seems to be the case with STGD, as its main plot follows a zig-zag pattern of progressing and backtracking:
-> Sant and Jay have a history when we meet them, which is an interesting addition to the standard formula; initially their past seems like something they can get over and start fresh – especially that Jay seems eager to continue where they stopped,
-> four episodes in we’re told it was all Jay’s ploy to get revenge on Sant for breaking Jay’s heart; what normally would be a major plot twist, gets disproven almost immediately and entirely forgotten in the next episode,
-> Captain shows up and becomes Jay rival, Jay declares that he won’t give in and proceeds to do … nothing (or almost nothing) to win Sant over; later Captain backs off and even helps Sant and Jay meet; to this day I don’t know whether Captain was actually interested in Sant or merely pretending – in order to get Jay motivated to move on from his other past experiences (the show hints at both these options as true, which confused me),
-> Sant and Jay reunite, but do not become a couple until late in ep. 8 for no clear reason (nothing prevents them from becoming a thing at the end of ep. 6) – instead almost the entire cast relocates to the country to solve Sant’s family issues.
On one hand – this is all very different from the "classic" approach to writing a BL story (the surprise I mentioned); on the other hand – it’s messy and makes very little sense (the let-down I mentioned).
With so much going on in the main plot one could think that STGD has its episodes densely packed with story development, meaningful dialogues and emotional scenes, right? Wrong. Lack of content from the main plot forced the writers to use filler – and a lot of it. The entire Gug-Yada-Baipor "storyline" (if one can call it that way) is filler, as it serves no other purpose. It gets pointless early on, but despite of that drags for most of the show – leading nowhere.
Both Jay and Sant have family issues, written, presented and solved skillfully (Jay) or poorly (Sant), but utterly unrelated to the main plot – hence suspected of being more filler. Jay’s mom, Sant’s mom nor his grandparents were never a hindrance for the main characters to become a couple and those "family issues" storylines don’t really help the main characters to deepen their relationship – although they do help to flesh out Jay and Sant, giving them both some background and complexity (Jay in particular).

I’ll mention this only very briefly, but the writing and choice of topics the show decided to address resulted in STGD’s tone being all over the place. At first glance it’s a rom-com, funny but not goofy nor silly (and not fluffy either). Already in ep. 2 tone changes for several scenes, as Sant’s traumatic past haunts him; this becomes more frequent in later episodes, with plenty of sad or serious scenes played entirely straight . The effect may not be to everyone’s liking: a generally comedic show interspersed with many sobering moments, starkly contrasting with the lighthearted tone. While this is not a major complaint, I do believe these tonal issues could have been solved better, in a more nuanced way, allowing for a better flow of the show.

STGD feels messy for one more reason: editing. While it’s okay for a good portion of the show’s running time, there are multiple examples of baffling editing choices which make an episode or part of it less coherent and disjointed. Strangely enough this is not (as one could expect) due to flashbacks, which are visibly distinct from "present day" content, but due to other show elements, like product placement scenes (only some of which were mercifully located at the end of episode or post credits) or the show’s writing. Take ep. 7, which starts in Bangkok, but relocates to Suphan with almost no warning, and ep. 8, most of which take place in Suphan, only to very abruptly get back to Bangkok; there’s a hard cut after a romantic scene with Jay and Sant and – all of the sudden – we’re back in the capital. Or ep. 9: halfway through it Sant and Jay wake up, realize they made love while drunk, talk it out, go either to sleep or to make more love (this is unclear due to writing, editing and subs), scene cuts to Jay’s dream about Jeng, Jay wakes up and (again, due to editing, writing and subs) it’s unclear whether this is a continuation of the scene from before or a new scene taking place on a different day. There are other examples of scenes which – at best – seem loosely connected to each other; all that makes STGD look messy, rushed and unfinished.

Having written all of the above I should explain why I enjoyed the show – despite its many flaws. As I mentioned at the start, the decisive factor are good performances, first and foremost by Mark and Ohm.

I believe Mark to be one of the most talented young actors in Thai BLs, when it comes to versatility second only to "War" Wanarat Ratsameerat, and I enjoyed most of his work – including in STGD. Mark’s Jay is quirky, funny and sexy, but also deeply wounded, vulnerable , split and hiding a lot of doubt and sadness. Mark does in STGD what I appreciate most: elevating a character he’s portraying, like in two painful moments of self-awareness in ep. 7 and 10 or interacting with Ohm’s character and breathing life into Jay.
While Ohm’s credentials are not as impressive as his on-screen partner, he nevertheless does a good job as the sassy, funny and somewhat chaotic Sant. I equally liked the softer, calmer, more collected side he displayed at times, especially in later episodes.
Mark and Ohm work together really well – I don’t recall any scenes with them being the main focus or only characters present that I disliked; I enjoyed most of them for the interaction, comedy, banter and cuteness. The chemistry and dynamic are there – a little polish and MarkOhm will be able to handle more than rom-coms.

Out of the supporting cast one deserves praise: "Honey" Passorn Leowrakwong, who portrayed Jay’s mother. The veteran actress shows what experience, competence and talent can do, giving a small, but important performance. While comedic at first, it turns heartwarming and later almost heartbreaking. Despite of appearing in only a handful of scenes, her character is still better defined – thanks to writing and Honey’s performance – than Yada, Captain and Gug, all of whom are supporting characters (formally more important than Jay’s mom, but nevertheless bland and one-dimensional).

As a BL (and that how I judge it) STGD doesn’t fail, it ticks the most important boxes, lacking where most BL do – in the writing department. Not a bad show, STGD deserves revisiting – which I’ll do, maybe not in its entirety, but I will. For the solid work of MarkOhm and Honey, for the laughs and tears, kisses and banter – I will.

Nonsense

The only Good thing about this series is the great chemistry between the leads ans that's what kept me watching up yp halfway trhough episode 9 I really wanted to push through and finish it, but I just can't anymore I grew bored and tired of nothing actually happening. A total waste of talent, Mark has got to be one of the best if not the best actor currently working on GMMTV and it pains me to see that when they finally gave him the chance to lead a series they stuck him with this crappy script.

Mark and Ohm have realy good chemistry and I am sure they did the best they could with what they got, but wow this mess of a story s so bad that I actually got ecxited when Jimmy showed up despite hating love triangles. the bickering between Jimmy and Mark was really funny but even that went nowhere. Sant's mom sucks and shouldn't have been forgiven that easily. I can't say for sure because I just can't make myself anymore of this but I think one could watch the first episode skip to the last and not miss much of the story.

I hope to see this pair again in something with actual substance they deserve redemption.

Good actors can't save a poor production

I was really looking forward to this series. I know both Ohm and Mark from their previous work, and them both gave out flawless acting - this time was no different. Mark's eyes delivered all the complexity of his character, Ohm's crying scene got me sobbing. They both gave their all and it shows - too bad actors can't save a poor production.
Since episode one, you can say the script is nonsensical. You witness to poor dialogues, music and sounds effect being LOUDER than characters' lines (this becomes unbearable during phone calls - those are just cringey). After episode two, you see characters having trauma - HORRIBLE trauma - and getting close over little moments. There's no progression - their relationship changes from the day to the night. Their traumas are bad, but instead of giving great resolutions to them, they resolve them just in an episode or two. There's NOTHING realistic or morally pleasing in that. The script is just THAT bad. And sadly side-characters are just as bad.
It's a pity. A real shame. Saint started off being cute, savage, enjoyable - the perfect character for Ohm. And Mark's comedy time is perfect, exhilarating even for foreigner audience.
It's everything else. The script, the sounds, the lines, the plot itself. I'm gonna finish watching this, but GMMTV needs to improve production. Actors alone cannot save a series.

I really, really did not enjoy this. Dropped at the beginning of ep 7.

One character is rich and living of mommy’s money and one character is poor with little family. The first few episodes gave off sugar daddy / gold digger vibes, the way all the time spent together and all the “wooing” was transactional in exchange for financial favors and free meals.

Sant is a live streamer, and boy does he have the most obnoxious, annoying live-streaming personality ever. Extremely, extremely cringy. The school dentist play they put on for kids at the school was also incredibly cringey and I don’t know why they made us sit through the whole thing.

As far as I watched, there was some boundary-crossing and mild manipulating. Touching their face in their sleep, pretending to be hurt to hold their hand, lying about what your doing to crash them hanging out due to jealousy, saying he’ll have to sleep in your bed if he’s staying over because the couch is being cleaned, saying you’re looking to get a specific dental treatment in order to spend time with a student doctor that needs to do said treatment as course work (side couple). There were also childish games of playing hard to get and acting like you don’t like them when you do, and also a weird mild-bullying dynamic, like a five year old that can’t process their feelings so they act mean to their crush.

Jay was really annoying when pestering Sant about not eating so many sweets. Let him live, damn. And Sant was unnecessarily mean. I lost track of the number of times he said something a long the lines of “Who’d want to date someone like you?” Like even after they’re friends, even after Sant is starting to feel something for Jay, he’s still being an asshole for no reason.

There was a full 2 episode jealousy arc between Sant, Jay, and Jay’s childhood friend Captain. It wasn’t the jealousy arc itself, but the way both Sant and Jay reacted to the situation that made me drop the show.

Captain shows up and shows an interest in Sant. Sant actively plays into it, consistently flirting (or being extremely friendly, at the very least) with Captain and pretty much completely ignoring Jay. He consistently actively choses to hang out with Captain, often without Jay, when given the choice between the two.

Meanwhile, Jay is obnoxious with his jealousy. While Captain takes no for an answer when Sant says no to doing something Captain suggested, Jay insists on crashing every activity Sant does with Captain. He’s constantly showing up and sticking around when he wasn’t asked to, and won’t take a hint to leave either. Captain was also sweeter and kinder to Sant than Jay, in my opinion, and he actively helped Sant’s career.

Jay and Captain fight over Sant like he’s a toy and they’re literal dogs having a pissing content. They literally agree to “compete” and let Sant choose the one he likes more. Like it’s some sort of game.

And Sant, when presented with the choice, has to actively think for multiple days before he chooses Jay. When Jay asks to go on a date, Sant literally forgets to respond, then turns him down in order to go to an influencer party with Captain. Jay settles for scraps because he has no self-respect and says they can see just the second half of the movie after the party. The event runs over and Sant ends up bailing early, but he still misses the entire movie and Captain was the one who gave him a ride to Jay. This was shown as a sweet gesture, since Sant left the party early, but Sant literally just chose the party over Jay, then stood Jay up and rolled up with Captain afterward. And if anything, it showed that Captain was sweeter than Jay because he prioritized Sant’s desires and helped him get to his date with Jay, whereas Jay tried to intervene every single time Sant and Captain tried to hangout together.

And on the date, Sant essentially asks Jay to confess his feelings and refuses to do the same himself. Afterward, Sant suddenly debates whether he should choose Captain instead of Jay since Jay abruptly got up instead of confessing since Sant was refusing to voice his own feelings. He has zero commitment or loyalty. It got to a point where I think Sant and Captain would have been better off together since Sant was so clearly more into him, and I don’t know why Captain suddenly ceded to Jay when Sant showed him so much more interest than he ever showed Jay, and Sant hadn’t yet definitively made up his mind.

Honestly, Sant doesn’t deserve Jay. Jay is always trying to be nice to Sant because he likes him, and Sant never does a single thing in return. He doesn’t even choose to hangout with Jay over Captain and doesn’t follow through on his promises when he does. He doesn’t confess first, call first, or make the first move ever. He wants to be pursued without doing anything himself. Is he even into Jay or is he just an option that’s available? Does he just get off on having two men chase after and do things for him, and like the power of having a choice? If Captain hadn’t backed out of the competition for Sant, would Sant have even followed through with Jay?

Even after the whole date fiasco, where Sant was talking about choosing Jay, he suddenly leaves for home without telling Jay. He has time to tell his best friend, but no time to text Jay. I’m pretty sure if I keep watching for a few more minutes, Jay is going to show up at Sant’s home because the man has no respect for boundaries or himself.

I stopped watching at that point. I have no patience for Sant being selfish and not giving a damn about Jay, or Jay continuing to chase after a man who so clearly does not give a shit about him.

Also, side note, but they kept talking about “tomboys” as if a tomboy is equivalent to a lesbian. You can be a masculine woman or a feminine man and neither mean you’re gay. Your gender expression is not equivalent to your sexual orientation.

markohm debut series!

to be honest, i didnt expect much going into this series since its a debut series, but it definitely exceeded my expectations of it, and i didnt know it would end up becoming my comfort show!

i've been liking markohm since last twilight (in the ghost ship days), and when i saw this series in gmmtv 2025 i was definitely excited to say the least. now that it's finally ended, i can say that it is definitely an emotional series - many ups and downs. you could probably catch me laughing or crying while watching the series, and the way the relationship between jway and sant evolves heals parts of me i didn't even know needed healing.

to be honest, this series received alot of criticism and feedback, but in my honest opinion i'm happy to have come this far with the series, and its definitely a must watch on my list. thank you to markohm for portraying jwaysant's relationship so well, and for always doing the best you can in this series!

and lastly, congrats on the ship debut series! i cannot wait to see more of markohm in the future!! <3

The script and direction definitely could’ve been better, but I still enjoyed the series. It’s not a masterpiece, but it's not that bad either. It was exactly what I expected it to be: a light and fun romantic comedy. The real highlight, though, was Mark and Ohm. They were the reason I kept coming back week after week. At first, I wasn’t sure if they’d work well together, but they totally did. They have incredible chemistry together! They felt so natural, effortless, and completely at ease with each other. Everything, from their flirtation and lingering glances to the NC scenes, flowed so smoothly. The whole cast did a good job and honestly deserved a better script, but even with what they had, they did the best they could.
