Title Love upon a Time
i think this is a bit insensitive, it is part of thai culture, they dyed their teeth and it conveyed various things…
the problem is there was nothing anywhere in the drama to explain this culturally so it just ended up looking like a caricature of poor broke peasants and servants with broken, rotting, and dying teeth rather than the cultural reference to something people did in ancient times. Even a 20 sec demonstration of servants getting ready for the day would have made it clear that that was on purpose and not just a bunch of people with poor dental health. They did a bad job of conveying that, especially since so many characters had it.
