My Tooth Your Love (2022)

Refreshing, quick, and funny

I absolutely LOVED this drama. It was a super quick binge—only took about a day to finish all 12 episodes—and I wish there was a season two.

The A couple was SOOOOOO cute. I loved them from the first moment they met, during their flirty moments, and in every encounter they had until the end. For those of you looking for a BL focused on a more mature couple, this is what you should watch. I personally felt like I could relate to each of the things that came up in their relationship.

I discovered this BL on Tiktok and honestly did not have super high expectations. It BLEW me away and I was pleasantly surprised! The humor is great and the cast is stellar. I will definitely rewatch this.

SPOILER: The only thing that would've made it better is more Alex/He Qing content. I loved this B couple and I would love it even more if I could see them grow.

A love story between a Dentist and a Bar Owner

Wow! Where to start , first I will start with the main ship Bai Lang and Xun An it was a beautiful relationship and they were amazing and so cute, I still remember the first episode when Bai Lang was super afraid to go to the dentist and was holding his support marble fell because an earthquake happened and Xun An picked it up for him and then hit his head on the light that helps look at your teeth, but they did meet again often and slowly started to develop feelings for each other that even Bai Lang told Xun An about why he doesn’t like the dentist and his trauma and also for their relationship to be accepted by Xun An’s father he had to deal with a whole lot of pain and got very injured and they got together in the end and even are engaged!
The next couple is Alex and RJ they are my favorite couple from this show they met because RJ was going against his parents orders and in order to prove it he kissed Alex and spilled a whole lot of drinks from the bar and then ran away from his problems, but he has no where to live so they hire him at the bar and he can sleep in the supply room. I loved the scene where they were supposed to be cleaning and RJ was writing in a note pad and Alex wanted to see so he was peeking through the window and acted like he didn’t know anything. Also when little RJ pinned Tall Alex to the wall to flirt with him I was screaming.
At the last episode I was going to start crying if Alex didn’t see RJ ever again because he was reading the little note from him. Also Bai Lang’s sister was so pretty in here wedding dress, it was nice to see the relationship with Qi Ran and his son to see a mother image he never had. I also liked Little A’s and the hockey players story and hope that we at least get some type of update on them. I also noticed the wedding scene were they dance was always in the ending credits in each episode. Okay I’m going to stop now, you should Definitely watch this series!

Cute story with minimal angst

Despite a couple of small grievances I have with certain plot points, this was still sweet and a good watch overall. For the most part, it felt very organic and most of it progressed at a pace and direction that made sense.

The first three quarters flowed well with the relationship building of all characters and the development of the story overall. One of the aforementioned grievances is in how there was so much emphasis placed on Bai Lang's trauma, to the point where it was the driving force of the entire show, and then once he decided he wanted to pursue XunAn, it's like it suddenly disappeared. Which is kinda too bad because Andy did a great job at conveying how powerless he was against his anxiety, only for his efforts to be completely traded for the bumbling younger guy chasing a serious older man trope.

The other issue I had was with XunAn's parent's storyline. I'm sorry but beating your child who is now a grown man living out on his own is pretty ridiculous. And for the wife to make excuses for him and apologize for him is even worse. If you don't agree with how to raise your child, that is some serious deal breaker. I honestly don't understand the use of this trope where the parents are so at odds with each other and yet they don't separate. How could she live with that guy after he beat her child with a cane? But, anyway, luckily that was only in the last episode and not a recurring thing as I likely would have dropped it otherwise.

I really liked the friendship Bai Lang had with Alex and enjoyed all of their interactions together. They bicker like siblings which made for some hilarious dialogue and then you can see how much they actually care for each other in the more somber moments. I would have liked more time with Alex and RJ's development but I understand they were just a side couple.

Even with the few things I personally didn't care for, I would still recommend this as it was a short and sweet piece full of heart and feels.

The dentist guy won my heart

I give it 9 out of 10 because this series is simply entertaining. All casts are full of pretty boys. Eps 1-3 I mostly felt nothing, I started paying attention to ep 4 and 5. Even though they have inserted Bai Land's backstory, Bai Lang as a character seems to be forced and his whole personality seems not to make sense. The dentist, on other hand, at the beginning his character seems to be boring and one-dimensional but it comes out he's more believable than Bai Lang. So, the dentist guy won my heart so far. He doesn't contain many expressions and manages to be like a real 'dentist.' He shifts little by little to make people love him and be the soul of this series.

Like:
+ First of all; watch the ending scenes! They are important and fun.
+ I didn't expect such serious topics, but was positively surprised! They deal with realistic problems in a realistic and authentic way and which episode I fell more and more in love with each character!
+ The dentist team is so funny, lovely and heartwarming, I can't! They are all so so cute. T_T
+ The male leads are totally different, but have a great chemistry. I personally loved their kisses! :x
+ Loved the little habits they developed.
+ The couples are all so lovely and cute. I didn't watch a lot of shows yet, where there were so many couples, so I am not annoyed by it yet. I liked it. (- but it would have been nice to see more from Alex and RJ. RJ is such a cutie!
+ The OST is crazy good! Love love love it!!
+ Pacing was fine! Personally I would have liked the last conflict a little less dragged, but that's just for me, because I'm such an impatient person. I totally understand why they choosed this pace, so it's not really a critical point. And all the other conflicts get solved in a really nice pace! I've never felt bored or frustrated!
+ I got really teary towards the end because after watching them for such a long time (I normally watch dramas which are way shorter) it just felt like I have to say goodbye to some good friends. T_T

Room for improvement:
- Like I said, I would have appreciated it to see more from RJ and Alex. Geez. RJ stole my heart right away. T_T
- The last conflict felt both rushed and dragged. Dragged, because they spent much time to show how Bai Lang feels about it, but rushed because it didn't got the proper resolution on screen, which would have been nice.

Overall I am satisfied and happy with this drama! I would totally recommend it. It's a nice combination out of humour and serious themes. The balance is great and the transition from being a funny, shallow show into a more serious tone was great! While we're getting to know the characters better with each episode, the tone changes and we see under the surface. I really liked it.

I started the show with absolutely zero expectations (because it was my first (well, technically second, but I dropped the very first one) taiwanese drama, after I am slowly running out of k- and j- BL dramas I wanna watch :D) and I am so so happy that I liked the show so much. The story sounds so hilarious and funny, but the show gave me a lot more than just a few laughter. I really like each character and it would be so cool to see more of them!

Great character development

This is a great lighthearted series. I enjoyed the characters but Bai Lang did a fantastic job!! His portrayal of severe anxiety disorder and the inner battle that is sometimes fought due to overthinking, beautiful!!

Watching as he and Xun’an’s relationship progresing, Lang eventually letting down his guard and letting him in. I feel his guilt for what happened to his parents had to be such a burden for him. That guilt cause a lot of fear and I could resonate with him as he pushed Xun’an away. I have been there before and Bia Long’s character was everything to me. I loved watching him battle Ye for Xun’an. Bai Lang is fiesty AF and once he had Xun’an, he wasn’t letting him go. LOVED IT!

Getting their happy ending was tough. Xun’an put in a lot of work. Trigger warning tho, there is a case of physical assault between a father and son. In this case, the son was pleading for his boyfriends acceptance since Bai Lang was an orphan and he wanted him to have a complete family. Poor thing endured excessive kneeling and being beaten with a cane for what seems like a month. I was a bit worried that would have triggered an episode from Bai but thankfully it didn’t.

When it comes to the chemistry, I feel as if it started well but fizzled. That’s only due to the kissing being awful. They tried to make it better with angles but towards the end there, they let some awful lip locking be seen in full view…yikes! Don’t get me wrong, they were definitely cute together, and the side couples were just as enjoyable to watch. I really enjoyed I Qi and Alex’s relationship. I was hoping for a bit more but I guess I will just have to settle for Alex’s last flirtatious line.

10/10, would definitely watch again!

This series was unfortunately very very disappointing. :-(

2/10

Negative:

1. Too much jabbering in the episodes. Became more and more from Ep. to Ep.....
2. That Jins ex showed up.
3. Bai's constant attacks from his trauma.
4. The Movie implementation wasn´t good. Very disappointing. I was close to falling asleep. I waited all this time for Jin and Bai to finally kiss. Unfortunately, they kissed much late.
5. From episode 8 on, Jin and Bai were walking around so much while they were fighting. I almost fell asleep there too.
6. JxB couldn't even spend the night together because the stupid Handy rings and he had to leave...Very disappointing!!!
7. That nothing more came from Alex and RJ in the finale episode. I would have liked to see them as a couple.

Positive:

1. Maincouple
2. Sidecouple

Le duo Jiang Rui Zhi et Lin Pei Yu tape (encore) dans le mille

Les dramas taiwanais ne cessent de me surprendre - notamment ces deux dernières années et pas seulement dans le BL. Aujourd'hui, c'est avec une certaine confiance que je m'y lance. D'autant plus lorsque les noms Jiang Rui Zhi et Lin Pei Yu sont associés. Après tout, on leur doit WBL.

Tout n'est pas parfait dans My Tooth Your Love. Mais le drama reste bon et généreux sur pas mal de points.
L'attraction entre Bai Liang et Xuan An est superbe (les baisers le sont aussi). Bien que je ne regarde pas pour le skinship ou les baisers en premier lieu, j'aime voir une relation saine et loin des clichés thaï avec les poissons morts ou la sensation de dégoût ancré sur le visage des acteurs.
Bref ! On est sur deux adultes (ça fait du bien), l'un est terrifié par les dentistes, l'autre est dentiste. Ça tombe bien. Les personnages sont agréables et mignons à suivre. La relation est jolie. Pas d'alcool, pas de "je vais mourir, je dois lui dire que je l'aime" etc. Bien sûr, nous avons droit à quelques scènes clichées, mais ça reste raisonnable.
Concernant les personnages d'Alex et He Qing Tian, je n'ai pas eu le syndrome du couple secondaire, mais s'il y avait eu quelques épisodes à leur sujet, ça aurait été agréable.
La sœur est également sympathique et le retour de l'ex agréable (ouais, je sais, c'est fou).

Le défaut notable reste (à mes yeux) la réaction des parents de Xun An. Sans trop en dire, c'était vraiment pour amener du mélodrame et probablement cocher la case des "détails inévitables".
Et malgré les quelques défauts, aujourd'hui, je me sens plus confiante lorsque je lance un BL taïwanais plutôt qu'un autre. J'ai beau avoir un amour unique pour les dramas coréens, une majorité de K-BL usent ma patience, car ils ne sont jamais honnêtes dans le genre qu'ils traitent, comme s'ils n'assumaient pas. Ou encore les dramas thaï qui ne sont que recyclage d'intrigues précédentes encore et encore quand ils ne frisent pas eux aussi avec le BL non-assumé (d'ailleurs, j'ai arrêté de regarder la majorité d'entre eux). Même les BL japonais sont devenus insignifiants pour la plupart, car de pâles copies des uns sur les autres parce que c'est tendance. Je m'égare encore et oui, je généralise, cependant y'a des exceptions comme toujours.

Bien qu'on note des défauts, il reste un moment agréable et nous évite un paquet de clichés que, personnellement, je n'ai plus envie de voir. Mature et mignon, je ne dis pas non pour une nouvelle collaboration entre Jiang Rui Zhi et Lin Pei Yu.

PS : qui a validé le bruit de fraise (ou peu importe l'instrument fou du dentiste) à la fin du générique d'intro ? C'est terrifiant.

NADA DEMAIS E MAL EXECUTADO

Nada demais.
Tem alguns pontos interessantes como trauma, auto descoberta e conflitos simples do dia a dia, mas novamente, não é nada demais na hora da execução. O personagem Bai Lang é intragável na minha concepção e a irmã dele é uma sem noção que o trata como criança, inclusive existe muita manipulação velada nesse drama (em muitas situações com diversos personagens).
É extremamente desleixado quando se trata do segundo casal, o tempo de tela é pequeno e mal aproveitado criando uma "relação" mal desenvolvida.
Enfim, nada a declarar pois não tenho memórias marcantes dessa série, é até mesmo bobo em muitos momentos mas vendo a classificação indicativa era de se esperar.

Simplesmente maravilhoso, mas...

A química do casal principal é perfeita!
Os olhares, toques, expressões faciais e corporais são excelentes, a irmã perfeita como indução pro romance sem querer, o ex que foi superado e aceita (raro).
Os casais secundários ficaram meio off, mas mesmo quando eles apareciam eu só queria ver o principal.
O dentista se humilhando pra ter apoio do pai achei bem real, pq o boy perdeu os pais muito cedo.
Apesar de ter amado 90%, o final da irmã com o ex achei bem qualquer coisa, de verdade...
Agora, eles dois juntos no final de casal ACHEI TUDO, faltou casamento deles, da irmã eu nem ligo de verdade.
Chorei, ri e vi bem lentamente esse drama, pra degustar com maior aproveitamento.

Pura química <3

Comecei assistir essa drama sem grandes expectativas mas eu fui surpreendida positivamente, e sim eu amo quando isso acontece, a química dos atores e a forma que eles se entregaram aos seus personagens é algo muito raro de se encontrar hoje em dia. Mesmo a trama clichê ela te prende do começo até o fim, explorando traumas e até aceitação da família, que é um tópico que me paga muito pois sempre fico impactada! O único ponto que me faz tirar meio ponto na história é que os outros casais não foram muito explorados, esse drama com certeza poderia ter episódios extras! Andy Wu entregou tudo na ost, stream na lenda <3

Amoooooo

De início eu não entendi o motivo do frenesi por causa desse drama, a ideia de uma drama que começa e evolui na cadeira de um dentista não me parecia razoável. Isso até eu ver o primeiro episódio e a ver a química surreal do casal principal.

O roteiro dessa série é incrível, ela te prende desde a belíssima abertura, e do primeiro ao último ep temos um amor que acontece da forma mais linda possível, se construindo gradualmente, até que esteja maduro o suficiente para ser vivido. Gosto de como diversos temas são abordados, como traumas de infância, aceitação da família, problemas psicológicos, tudo isso envolto em uma aura de fofura e muitas pitadas de humor para aliviar os dramas, até o encerramento é lindo.
Gosto que a série resolveu muitas coisas, desde a situação do dentista com seu ex, com a família, amo como todos os outros personagens (menos as famílias) aceitam com a maior naturalidade o fato deles se amarem, gosto do final que deram para a irmã, inclusive sempre que eu via o encerramento da série eu me perguntava o porquê daquela performance, e entendi no final que era a dança do casamento dela. A única coisa que deixou a desejar, ao meu ver, foi o casal secundário, que não teve quase nenhum enfoque, e era um casal promissor e com muita coisa a ser discutida, como a questão da idade, a família do garoto etc.

Em relação aos aspectos técnicos, tudo maravilhoso (Taiwan não decepciona). Os atores são excelentes, todos eles combinam com seus papéis, a química vai além dos casais e é perceptível em todo o elenco. A ost é maravilhosa, a filmografia e fotografia também. Enfim, verei de novo com certeza, e espero que exista uma nova temporada, onde o casal secundário tenha mais destaque. Uma das minhas preferidas, não posso deixar de indicar.
