Premise and title

The series follows Sant, a university student with an unwavering love of sweets who also runs a dessert ASMR review channel. His world collapses when he discovers he has a cavity, forcing him to seek treatment from Jay, a handsome dentist with a cool act and a quirky personality. What begins as a tense, oil-and-water relationship shifts as treatment continues, and Sant starts to wonder whether Jay's caring nature is simply part of the job or something more.⁸ A Thai-language synopsis adds that Sant, short on money, enters a free dental treatment program run by a faculty of dentistry, which is how he meets "Dr. Jay".⁹

The Thai title is a joke for local audiences. According to TV Asahi's Japanese-language announcement, แฟนที่ทันตแพทย์ส่วนใหญ่แนะนำ translates as "the lover most dentists recommend", and the phrase is a long-standing stock line from Thai dental hygiene product commercials.⁴ Thai commentary on the series describes the phrase as an "ideal partner" gag: someone who takes care of everyday details like brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular checkups, which fits a romance set in a dental clinic.¹⁰

Story development

The early episodes alternate between the present-day clinic scenes and a chance day the two leads had spent together a year earlier. Jay flirts openly while Sant resists, until his feelings begin to change.¹³ Episode guides place a love rivalry between Jay and Captain over Sant in episode 5, Sant's social media success after a disastrous livestream in episode 6, a recreated first date disrupted by Jay's mother in episode 8, and the finale on June 6, 2025, in which Sant and Jay explore their relationship over three years while celebrating Jay's birthday.¹⁴^•³ Later episodes take the couple to Sant's home village, where Jay runs a free dental checkup project and the two become a couple while keeping the relationship secret from others.¹⁵

Production and cast

GMMTV announced the series at its GMMTV2024 Part.2 event on April 23, 2024.¹¹ The screenplay is credited to Pratchaya Thavornthummarut and Pongsate Lucksameepong, with JittiRain and Hungrybird as creators and Noppharnach Chaiyahwimhon as producer.⁵

The supporting cast includes Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok as Captain, Poon Mitpakdee as Gugg, View Benyapa Jeenprasom as Yada, Mim Rattanawadee Wongthong as Baipor, Jaoying Krongkwan Nakornthap as An, Passorn Leowrakwong as Jay's mother, and the comedian Phuang Chernyim as Sant's grandfather.²^•⁶ Both leads were taking their first starring roles; Mark Pakin had appeared in My School President, Last Twilight, and Only Friends, and Ohm Thipakorn in Last Twilight and Kidnap.¹¹

Broadcast and distribution

The series premiered on GMM25 on Friday, March 21, 2025, at 20:30, with online streaming on the iQIYI app and iQ.com an hour later.² In Japan, TELASA began streaming the first three episodes on April 4, 2025, at 22:30, then released subsequent episodes weekly alongside the Thai broadcast; a special episode 0 with production material was also added.⁴^•¹¹ The series is also available on YouTube with English subtitles and later on Bloom+ and Amazon Prime Video through that service.¹¹^•¹²

Reception

Audience ratings were moderate. IMDb recorded 7.6/10 from 593 votes, iBoy.tv 7.2/10 from 3,166 ratings, and TVmaze 6.8 from 5 votes.⁶^•⁷^•³

Critical response centered on a mismatch between the cast and the script. The BL Xpress review of episodes 3 to 11 gave the series 3 out of 5, praising the leads' chemistry while arguing that a tonal shift from fluffy romantic comedy to traumatic backstories, including Sant's abandonment by his mother and Jay's grief over his brother, left too many second-half plotlines underdeveloped.¹³ User reviews on iBoy.tv made similar points, with one praising the leads' natural chemistry and another calling the second half's love triangles and family drama underdeveloped.⁷
