If you are expecting a great drama that will make you re-evaluate your life then don't watch this. But if youwant a fluffy drama with lots of fun then this is the drama for you. The actors are an excellent option and I'm sure you will end up loving them as well.
You will erupt with laughter and excuse this old vocab but you will also be squirming with *feels* in every episode.
With a slight-feeling of second lead syndrome, I'll tell you that this is the perfect option for a boring afternoon.

This is a very nice, light romantic comedy with great feelings. Don’t expect too much from The Rules of Love Season 1 since it is just the preemptive tale of how the lead couple meet and a series of unfortunate events developed that will get the couple together. For The Rules of Love Season 2, the love story starts to develop and characters start to fall into place. The drama is nice and the romance is light but the leading couple has good chemistry. What stand out on this drama is the overall sense of sincerity on the character’s feelings and the camaraderie. Last episode of Season 2 ends with “to be continued hinting to a Season 3. If you are looking for something nice to watch until a great one comes, this is entertaining. Enjoy it!

To see only to pass time!

Drama with a college romance and a touch of fantasy, low budget.

Firstly, the plot is interesting: a mermaid-androgyn (FL) who chooses her sex according to the person to whom she gives her heart (once and for all). Having saved a handsome, cold, student (ML) from drowning, the mermaid's body gradually becomes more feminized. By chance, she finds herself in the same university, and the same apartment as her lover.

We find here all the clichés of mermaids: scales, one love in a lifetime, tears that turn into pearls, etc.
We also have all the clichés of gender dramas: the "I can't love a man", the ML2 who knows that FL is a girl at first glance, love rivals of all kinds.

The story is well written, the young actors are good, the production quite dynamic and the special effects of quality.
BUT
- the image quality is really bad for a 2019 series.
- the twists are really too obvious and everything is so predictable!

=> Nice series but nothing more.

A voir seulement pour passer le temps !

Drama romance-universitaire-Fantasy petit budget.

Le plot est intéressant : sirène-androgyne (FL) qui choisit son sexe en fonction de la personne à qui elle donne son coeur (une fois pour toutes). Ayant sauvé de la noyade un jeune homme, beau, cold, étudiant, le corps de la sirène se féminise peu à peu. Par hasard, elle se retrouve dans la même université, et le même appartement que son lover.

On retrouve ici tous les clichés des sirènes : écailles, un seul amour dans une vie, larmes qui se transforment en perles, etc.
On a également tous les clichés des gender dramas : le "je ne peux pas aimer un homme", le ML2 qui sait que la FL est une fille au 1e regard, les rivaux amoureux en tous genres.

L'histoire est bien écrite, les jeunes acteurs sont bons, la réalisation assez dynamique et les effets spéciaux de qualité.
MAIS
- la qualité d'images est vraiment mauvaise pour une série de 2019.
- les ficelles sont un peu grosses et tout est tellement prévisible !

=> Sympa mais sans plus.

The idea of the female character being a mermaid is interesting, however the plot is quite predictable and borderline. If you are looking for an intense and emotional romance drama, then this drama isn't it. It's fluffy and light; if you are having a bad day, this might be for you. And not to forget the slight second lead syndrome ♡ I think the main actress and lead actor have acting potential but what really caught my attention was the second lead actor. Maybe its the second lead syndrome... but his acting is good that I ended up watching another drama with him as one of the main actor haha. Overall, I think the drama might have more potential if there were more planning and thoughts made to the plot.

If you are looking for a light story that isn't childish, this drama is for you. With a little interlude fantasy, the story in this drama is not boring, really. The background of this story is also in lectures so that when watching it feels more fresh. You who are lovers of the crossdress drama, might also like this drama.
It should be noted, this drama does not almost provide any mandate so it is not suitable for those of you who are looking for a useful drama. Some of the scenes in it are too cheesy so sometimes I skip it.
To be sure, a plus is on the two main male characters with acting that is quite convincing and of course very handsome. The main female character looks manly in her male style, but unfortunately not too beautiful when wearing women's clothes.
Nb: I am still captivated by Bai Lu at the Arsenal Military Academy, who is skilled as a man and very beautiful as a woman.
