Excessively Cute

I find that with BL shows in particular, there tends to be strong sense of unreality created by a confluence of poor writing, often amateurish acting, and and overall lack of interest in creating characters that feel real. This show is an exception to that rule, even with the absurdity of basing the entire premise around falling in love with a dentist. The main couple feels human and, their romance was sweet, but also felt very truthful. Though there is a will they/won't they aspect to the story, their relationship progresses in a very natural, very positive way, and it makes the show feel genuinely refreshing to watch. I didn't find the secondary couples compelling at all, and I wish I did, but they weren't given space to breathe, and because of that, they felt unnecessary.

The acting wasn't always on the money (Andy Wu made some odd choices throughout the show), but was generally consistent and inoffensive. Andy Wu and Yu Jin had a lot of chemistry and comfort with each other on screen. Many of the supporting actors felt a little stiff, and a bit cheesy, but while it stuck out to me, I don't think it was super out of place given the tone of the show.

This is a show that I would come back to for specific scenes, but not to rewatch front to back. It is worth at least one watch-through, though.
