Scenes from My Mr. Mermaid
Ranking Drop
My honest take — the good, the not-so-good, and what I’d change
👍 What I Loved
- One of the best C-drama swimming sports dramas — great, edge-of-seat pool cinematography
- Cute, warm main leads and a genuinely fun swim-team bromance
- An earnest, good-intentions cast — few real villains, most get redeemed
- Catchy OST (leads sing several tracks) and a hilarious scene-stealing ML’s mother
- Just light, fun, and genuinely feel-good from start to finish
👎 What Didn’t Land
- The FL is written clumsy and childish, near-drowning and needing rescue four times
- Slow, draggy stretches — it takes forever for the couples to get together
- The male lead is likable but too passive
- Uneven acting from the younger cast when the drama gets more dramatic
✏️ What I’d Change
Let the female lead learn to swim and rescue herself instead of falling in the water four times — a more capable FL would raise the whole show.
The Gotcha Moment
That heart-stopping second when the secret almost gets caught — the best kind of C-drama tension
