Review
As expected, the series starts with a bang! The Taiwanese have a thing for adult-themed BL and escape from the usual school-based and coming-of-age genres:
- My Tooth Your Love focuses on 2 sets of friends, with the romantic target of one working as a dentist (who also has a handsome cast aside from the main character!), while the 3 other leads work in a resto-bar just across town;
- The story is smooth-flowing, with no redundancy. I appreciate that it focuses first on Couple 1, bringing some perspective into how the relationship started, and the dynamics between the actors – which is hot and intense;
- Andy Wu (playing Bai Lang), starts off having a toothache and goes to see Yu Jin, the appealing but reserved dentist (Bai Lang’s sister’s junior in Uni). There’s immediate physical contact, and any viewer can feel there is already some sort of ‘friction’. What a great start! It immediately creates tension as a form of dynamics – with plenty of select scenes that underplay the possibility of romance;
- Alex Chou gives a sample of his ‘English’, which is sexy via his singing voice, of course!;
- The foodie scenes made me hungry;
- Technically superior to BLs from other countries, in the way it plays with camera angles, great use of music, and the lighting is just great. It offers glimpses of the Taipei area, with its cozy and sophisticated atmosphere;

One of the series’ second lead actors is wowing Taiwanese pop fans with his music – Alex Chou. You can appreciate Chou’s physique below. MyDramaList also contributes info on Alex:
He is the older brother of the pop singer and music composer Zhou Xing Zhe; Eric Chou. In March 2015, he made his debut singing the revised theme song ” Take You Fly ” for the game “Only Dance 3”. In October, he released his first creative mini-album “YOU”. | MyDramaList
Taiwanese pop singer Alex Chou originally planned a career in business, majoring in economics at the University of Southern California. But the pop music world had other plans for him. From an early age, Chou composed music and wrote lyrics. When he released a debut EP, “You”, in 2015, its lushly orchestrated ballad “Year. Month. Date.”. It was chosen as the promotional track for the hit romantic drama The Last Women Standing. A shift to a more pop and hip-hop sound with the track “Fly You Away” marked another career high for Chou, when it was chosen as the theme song for the video game Dancing Online.
Well, Apple Music was right about his musicality, but it seems the BL universe is also on the lookout for Alex! A song for this series has been uploaded on YouTube.
AbsoluteBL has something to say about the director, Jiang Rui Zhi. The producer estimates September 2022 as the release date. The first 2 episodes were shown on 14th October at GagaOOLala.
We highly recommend another BL set in the bar, Choco Milk Shake. There’s also another Taiwanese BL entitled About Youth.
This is a continuous coverage of the Taiwanese BL series My Tooth Your Love. News and updates will be posted as they become available.
An old-timer BL fan way back in 2007. I started out loving BL after watching the Takumi-kun series from Japan, went on collecting BL manga, and watched old BL anime such as Junjou Romantica and the likes. Love of Siam allow me to transition into Thai, while Amphetamine gave me glimpses of Taiwanese BL magic. I love to write reviews and I’m one of the administrators of Psycho Weird.
