Not the typical little mermaid story

To be honest, I was mainly watching because I wanted to see an earlier work with Kenny Kwan in it. The start of this series gave me the feeling of a B-movie and I think it was funny, adorable and man Kenny's eyes haha!! Such beautiful big brown eyes smh he and his costar, Zhao Li Ying/Zanilia Zhao, are really portraying the phrase "wide-eyed and innocent" look for their characters well. The series needed some work, but I stuck around for the characters I wanted to see and hope for a good ending for them. The most solid role and funny as heck was Tang Xin (Cao Xin Yue). She did a wonderful job and I simply enjoyed seeing certain characters realize how beautiful she is and her later involvement with the handsome Zhan Feng/Prince Zhao Duan (Allen Ting) was a joy to watch.

The beautiful music, especially the flute solo played Zhang Zhen, fits well where it's introduced. The acting... funny, not great in some parts, but all worth it to see it improve in later episodes; rich with feeling & skill. The sound effects for some of the fight scenes... XD!!! I can't lol you have to see & hear it for yourselves, but getting through it all, some strange plot holes/twists, was worth it to see the sweet ending.
