Toothache Vampire's Dentist

About this drama

Eight hundred twenty-seven characters, and the copy states a complete odd-couple vampire romance with its ending. The premise is the title's own joke played straight, a three-hundred-and-twenty-seven-year-old vampire, Count Elias, has suffered chronic canine toothache for centuries, and one dawn he visits a human dentist. Seraphin is surprisingly fearless of the fangs and the cold body temperature, and the copy gives the professional hook, fascination with the unique dental structure, treatment given gently. The courtship setting is itemized, time spent together in an ancient Gothic castle fitted with vintage dental equipment, where the loneliness plaguing Elias fades. The comic turn is stated without irony, a vampire hunter arrives intending to slay Elias and ends up becoming Seraphin's dental patient. The obstacles are named as the lifespan gap between human and vampire and each man's inner fear of separation, and the resolution is given in full, the two fall deeply in love and hold a castle wedding, Seraphin accepts Elias's blood to gain immortality, and the copy closes on the domestic image of an everlasting routine of dental checkups, quiet companionship and endless soft affection. Withheld: why a vampire's teeth ache at all, and how the hunter's oath resolves. Thirty-nine episodes, complete, 2,060 views.
