Sweet Teeth (2021)

Unexpectedly really good and sweet. In fact I was amazed at how much butterflies I felt watching the drama.

The best thing of this drama is the realistic viewpoints of love, friendship . Age gap, inexperienced couple, playboy phase, divorce and remarriage etc are some of the views of today's relationships which were individually portrayed by the lead characters. The natural attraction towards others and the character development of each character added so much more to the story. The story was on point and well written.

I especially loved that the secondary couples' story was rich and added a lot to the drama. Also the fact that there were no annoying second leads, misunderstandings, chichés, deserve a big thumbs up.

Big props to the amazing OST, aesthetics and visuals (I could literally go on writing about their looks. The boys are fine AF and the girls are damn pretty).

Overall if you're looking for something sweet, fluffy and realistic I highly suggest you to watch it.

A GOOD WATCH

I enjoyed the drama so much! i was looking for a drama that can make me feel so single and this drama did made me feel so single!

Although i must admit that i liked it, it might not be for everyone. It might not be for you if you're looking for a heavy drama because it's clearly not.

It's not really the perfect type of drama, i won't say that it's a masterpiece either but it's a good watch, i enjoyed and liked it. There are some cliché scenes but i guess that much was to be expected for light dramas like this.

I loved the fact that they showed us about the leads being supportive and moving away from so much misunderstanding and break up tropes.

About the characters, personally, i found the fl cute and the ml nice.

I liked how ml seemed really cold but he's not really cold, he's sweet and nice, he just does not talk that much. He was very in touch with his emotions and of those around him. He just chose to not say anything and just help everyone in small ways instead of saying so much things.

The fl is the type of person who simply enjoys living. She does not really have a set goal in life other than simply enjoying it. She works in a library because she likes to read, she opened a cafe with her friends to spend time with them. She wrote a story because she likes writing. She just does what makes her happy. Some might find her annoying for that but she's depicted as someone who finds joy in the small things in life. And it made me like her a lot.

I also loved the fact that she's considered pretty and not as nerd because she is indeed pretty.. It's just that in most drama, if you have braces or you wear glasses, you are considered as either a nerd or a loser when you're not even one.

And of course, let's talk about the supporting cast, each of them did really good. The three girls were very interesting contrasts to each other.

They are all different from each other, different personality, thoughts and lovelifes but they go well with each other. Their friendship was so amazing. They all knew how to support each other without trying to push their own thoughts instead they listen and comfort each other. I want that kind of friends.

Ai Jing Chu and Zheng Li as a couple were really sweet. A dentist and a librarian, i found that rare! i haven't really seen any couples from other dramas with that job! I loved the late night dates so much!! their misunderstandings were solved quickly and there's no breakup. I also liked how they supported each other throughout! The love triangle towards the middle were handled well, Yu Yi was also so nice and respectful towards them two.

Liu Yu Cheng and Wu Ying as couple were really cute. An older woman and younger guy, i really loved their relationship! Liu yu cheng was so sweet and caring towards wu ying, i love them so much! i love how they solved their problem towards the end, they handled that pretty well.

Deng Hao Ran and Ma Yi Yi as a couple were hot. A friend to lover trope. The playboy one and someone who easily falls in love. They're cool, i didn't really like them as much as i do with the other couples but i still liked them. I liked their scene at the end, they're so sweet. I want a brother and a friend like deng hao ran, someone who'll make me happy when i'm unhappy! Ma yi yi on the other hand is quite annoying but she's a really good friend.

Zheng li's story was explained well even though it was explained only through the book. Using her book to tell the story both past and future was a great method.

Overall a good watch! if you're into light or fluffy dramas then you should give this a try! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

boring, but second lead romance is cute

first of all, she doesn't need braces. let's get that out of the way. FL has great teeth only cdrama fame can buy. okay

as for the rest, painfully average love story. there's nothing wrong or toxic in it, thankfully. but it's backround-while-you're-cleaning-your-kitchen stuff.

BUT it has a second lead noona romance that makes it all worth it, believe me. the medical student brings her healthy food while she's working as a doctor cause he doesn't want her to rely on can noodles. is it groundbreaking, no. but it's a story with a wonderful progression and goo acting that makes you forget who the main leads are

100% Warm Fuzzies.

When I meant that it was fluffy drama, I wasn't kidding. It's like an overdose of supposedly cute and sweet events leading to our leads falling in love, but I'm sorry to say that I found the main leads' storyline absolutely boring. I can't help but feel disconnected with their characters. Especially the three main female leads. I was able to enjoy scenes of them individually or with other supporting cast. But, once they were actually together, the 'comedy' part just fell flat. What was supposed to be funny came off as cringe.
I loved Zeng Li's scenes when she was having her internal monologues or just thinking by herself.
The cast was trying their best, but some scenes looked not so natural and in character.
Don't get me wrong, this drama is not unwatchable by any means. It's aesthetically pleasing and has warm color tones that puts one's mind at ease. And it was shot in several beautiful locations that I found breathtaking. I'd suggest this to anyone looking for a candy floss drama with beautiful locations, good looking actors (who attempted to bring justice to their role) and fluffy love.

Another thing that I loved was the small lessons and thoughts that each episode had. They were really heartwarming.

If I could pick a character whom I was actually curious to watch, it was Wu Ying (and Liu Yu Cheng as an extension). Their storyline was kind of off as well, but I found it more interesting to watch. Deng Hao Ran is another character whom I absolutely adore for spilling the truth to Ma Yi Yi. To be honest, all the characters grew on me, but there was something still missing in the main leads. I don't know why, but the story is beautiful as a whole.

The OST is really, really beautiful. But, there were some instances I felt that it did not fit the ambience.

Overall, I can say it was very enjoyable. The only trouble I had was this constant disconnect with some characters that made me skip multiple scenes.
I literally kangaroo hopped through the drama.

I think it's time for me to admit that I've grown too old for dramas like these. But, this certainly could've been much better or interesting. I couldn't help feeling like they tried too hard. Yet, I would certainly ask you to give it a try. It gives you a lot of warm fuzzies.

Sweet sweet couple

I have watched this show several times because this is my go to series when I don't know what to watch. I really don't care about the other couples because I find them boring, but our main couple is where it's at.
They start from strangers to doctor patient to friends to lovers gradually and it just seems so natural. You can see when the gear shifts smoothly and the ML is now actively wooing the FL, and she is enjoying the ride.
Like I said, I skip parts about the other couples. I also find how the girls keep complaining about how old they are utterly ridiculous. I mean, 27??? OLD??? Girls you haven't even lived!
But anyway, it is worth watching if only for the main couple.

So sweet!

The perfect modern romance in my opinion. If you need something light to watch that will cheer you up, this is it. The combination of a dentist and librarian seems odd but they made it work somehow. There aren't many heavy plot elements (except the one I'll talk about a bit later) or much stakes in this drama at all. There is no shortage of swoon worthy romance moments. I was blown away by all the actors' performances and their visuals are no joke. The pregnancy storyline was handled in a really uncomfortable way and I did not care for it at all. I recommended this drama to a friend and they watched it all in 1 night!

Simply Sweet! ❤❤❤???

After watching several dramas with quite heavy theme (plotting, scheming, deception, etc.), I was looking for a lighter, fun, romantic theme and found this one.

This drama is about friendship, family, seeking of true love, true self, and seeking of happiness. It is light, romantic, happy, a bit of sadness, and sweet. There are one main story, i.e. Zeng Li's story and two more stories about her best friends in seeking a perfect love and happiness. All stories blend well forming this 22 episodes drama.

Dentist Ai Jing Chu who is known as the most handsome in the university where he teaches there, and the hospital where he works. He is smart, diligent, kind, but a bit reserved and lack of social life due to his childhood past. He met with university librarian Zeng Li.

Zeng Li comes from a complicated family, when she grows up her family struggles economically and her parents quarrel and fight all the time impacting her childhood and school life. Eventually her parents got divorced and her mother re-married to have better security to support her. Even her mother remarried 3 times just to ensure that she can support her.

With her mother past experienced, her mother pushed her to go on multiple blind date to find good husband for Zeng Li. With several unsuccessful attempt, her mother came to conclusion that Zeng Li needs to align her teet so she may look more attractive. She forced her to go to the dentist. At the same time, Zeng Li misunderstood Ai Jing Chu as heartless playboy because she saw Ai Jing Chu in the process of breaking up with her friend.

When her mother made dentist appointment, Zeng Li tries her best to avoid being Ai Jing Chu patient. But faith played her, and at the end Zeng Li became Ai Jing Chu patient.

So, interaction begin between the two of them. In several circumstances they meet and helping one and another. Ai Jing Chu start opening her heart and so does Zeng Li. But there are still some obstacles in Zeng Li’s heart.

Besides as a librarian and coffee shop owner, Zeng Li is also a novel writer – she writes novel anonymously using Carol as her pseudo name. The novel is actually telling her childhood story and struggle, and her fondness of her childhood sweetheart who left her to study and work abroad.

While her relationship with Ai Jing Chu grows, she is still not sure on her feeling for him. Ai Jing Chu likes her but having difficulties in expressing his affection into confession, and Zeng Li who still unable to forget her childhood sweetheart.

The main story itself is interesting, that is the relationship between Zeng Li and Ai Jing Chu. Besides that, the side stories are also good. The side stories tell about Zeng Li’s two best friend love story. One is Ma Yi Yi the celebgram and the second one is Wu Yin, an ER physician.

So all three love stories are bending in quite nicely in the series. They are complimenting each other in showing how these besties are looking for a true love and happiness.

The way the story was told is flowing nicely. They are light and real. Not too exaggerating with some light comical element so it is very fun to watch.

It supposed to be rom-com so do not expect to have excellent acting – they are okay and adequate for a rom-com drama.

Just enjoy the story line and the sweetness of love.

Simple and sweet romance of 4 best friends albeit a tinge of unrealistic coincidences.

First and foremost, the storyline is already good but could be better. This drama tries to convey the message of "the power of love will make one love a person unconditionally while putting aside societal standards and norms to lowering one's standard" with the depiction of a simple love life, yet unrealistic coincidences and encounterment of the couples. Sounds like a simple heartwarming romance yet not quite realistic in terms of how the couples meet, especially when the genre of this drama is mature. The storyline revolves around the simple love lives of 4 best friends (3 females + 1 male) with contrasting personalities. Zeng li, the protagonist, is a sweet and soft librarian that has been waiting for the right person to come into her life. While facing the societal pressure of ageing and marriage, she is resolved by the belief that one should only commit in a relationship with the right person. She turns down all the blind dates arranged by her mother while in hopes for her first love to return the love but changes her choice upon meeting her orthodontist, Ai Jing Chu. Their encounterment is the most unrealistic. She first met him at the library then coincidentally became her orthodontist before seeing him again in her subordinate's lecture and at the mountain. He's both a lecturer and an orthodontist, which is impossible in reality. Wu Ying, an emergency doctor, is a realistic, tomboyish and practical person yet she can be childish and impulsive. Unlike her feminine friends, she doesn't dress up and take good care of herself while having a fond for hoodies and mobile legend. She believes in the societal standard that a female should not marry someone younger than her, let alone having a baby when her partner is still in school and cannot support the family. But her childishness and impulsiveness is the reason why she put down these standards and ended up having a short gun marriage with Liu Yu Cheng, a Chinese medicine student younger than her by 6 years. Her relationship with Liu Yi Cheng is the cutest and fastest among all. Ma Yi Yi, a social media influencer, is a lovable and lively fashionista. In contrast to Zeng Li and Wu Ying, she faces the pressure of insecurity and time and is desperately finding a partner to tie a knot with. Because of this reason, Deng Hao Ran, broke up with her in the past while maintaining the closeness of their relationship. They still love each other and are always there for each other at their toughest times. Their relationship is the funniest among all but took the longest. It would be better if the writer created more scenes with more chemistry that lead to them going back together. It felt the bridging was not there/strong enough. One thing I like about this drama is that the uniqueness of the other two couples will not make you skip the scenes. The friendship between the three females and Deng Hao Ran is the sweetest. I really enjoyed watching their interactions together. Deng Hao Ran adores Ma Yi Yi but he doesn't compromise on taking good care of his other two female friends.

Secondly, the choice of the cast was great. They are good-looking. All casts played their roles well that they put so much consideration in their acting so as to showcase the contrasting personalities of the three girls. In fact, the side characters outshine the main leads. I was more invested in the other two couples that I didn't skip the drama. Ma Yi Yi's carefree character lightens up the mood of the whole show. I love her character the most. The actress paid so much attention to her action including the way she speaks. Also, Wu Ying resembles Kiko Mizuhara. So when they zoomed into her face, It was not annoying.

Thirdly, I was in awe of the peaceful cinematography. I really like the pastel filters. They match the easy-going vibe of the storyline. I could tell where the story was heading with the filters. Also, I am in love with the cute animation of the 4 best friends in episode 1 (Deng Hao Ran carrying and dragging the three female friends out). If only they had more. I really like how they had the actors actually acted out the interaction to represent the texts messages in their group chat. They were really cute and interesting. It just gives you a reason to not skip the scenes. Also, they inserted actual footage of real couples getting interviewed to prove their point that love will just make you put aside societal norms and lower your standards.

Lastly, the choice of music was really good. The unique genre of the music completely matches the cinematography and vibe of the story.
