Sweet toothed drama with cavities towards the end
DISCLAIMER: Apparently episode 12 was leaked so this review is after completing the drama although it was only due to air in 3 days. I watched it on Viki but it's also available on GagaOOlala and WeTV in some regions.
Synopsis:
A story of bar / restaurant owner Bai Ling who is scared of the dentist and then meets his new dentist who is a friend of his sister. The reason for his fear is revealed and their new friendship develops. It's a slow burn initially.
I love Taiwanese dramas and when I heard this was made by the same team as we best love I was excited. It's 12 episodes which is healthy and each are about 30 minutes long. Way better than KBLs. Initially I was impressed by the storyline as it focused on family issues, traumas from childhood, ex loves and I thought I was going to score it 9s and 10s.
The issues are:
a) too many couples, some of whom only really came to life in the last 2 or 3 episodes. It needed more from some for sure.
b) a random family story which again was late in the day and didn't fit in with the rest of the drama
c) it was a slow build up at the beginning and then really rushed at the end
Overall:
It's definitely worth a watch and there are some really cute scenes throughout the drama. It feels a little like Beloved in the house I do where production may have interfered with the production and steered it as opposed to the story. I don't think there is much re-watch value apart from favourite scenes but it could easily have a season 2 or spin off with more from 2 of the other couples.
Enjoy!
