Adorable short form, only an hour long and it's satisfying!
Sign me up for sexy merman!This absolutely has everything I love to see and in such a nicely packaged hour long short format. It has a strong, role-reversed female lead (she's the state preceptor!). It has a male lead who is sweet and innocent (did you know merman mate for life?) but isn't dumb at all. Fu Xu is actually very smart and extremely strong to the point where if he were in a fight, he's just gonna win it. I mean, supernatural merman powers, so that makes sense. It has characters who don't pretend they are all saints. The FL gets physical and isn't shy about it. I wanted more, but it was a happy ending and the major plot is resolved at the end.
This is the male lead's only role so far, and I thought he did a great job. He is incredibly attractive but also really sold the character in terms of his faithfulness, innocence, and strong protective instincts. The merman make up on him was also surprisingly not terrible considering it's an hour long short form drama.
I've seen the female lead in The Shoufu Can Read Mind and I remember liking her in that as well so I'm excited to see what else she does in the future. I thought she could have been more expressive (feels like she spends the entire drama looking frustrated) but I'm not sure how much that was just what the script called for.
Overall, definitely a lovely short watch and I really hope to see more from the male lead actor!

Mermans are so pretty
First of all, this definitely would have benefited from a normal format of 45 min episode and 12 - 14 episodes. With more lovey dovey-ness and cuteness (I mean for the longer format, I loved the amount of cuteness in this short format).Secondly, the hot scenes took me by surprise, I did not see that coming like at all. The scenes looked natural, truly great acting.
It's nice to watch a whole drama in just two hours lol but this 5 minutes format is still kinda weird. I really wish there was more of this story.
