Currently Watching: My Mr. Mermaid
*NOTE: this drama is the best fit for those who are interested in Youth, Comedy, and Romance genres; if you aren't interested in these types of dramas it wouldn't hurt to try!
So, the first thing I wanted to talk about was the title, which really hit me hard, it's unique in a different way. It gets me thinking that the title "My Mr Mermaid" should actually be "My Mr Merman" first of all because the word "Mermaid" comes before the word "Mr." which stands for males only and also because Tang Yi Bai played by Xiong Dylan is a male.
ANYWAYS let's get right into this article!!
TANG YI BAI played by XIONG DYLAN
Tang Yi Bai (played by Xiong Dylan) was a former champion swimmer from South Physical Education College which went on a 3 Year Hiatus due to rumors of doing drugs, He returns from his 3 year hiatus to compete for the South Physical Education College "Dream Cup Competiton" alongside his best friend, Qi Rui Feng )played by Huang Sheng Chi), against their biggest rival, Heng Ou Yang (played by Pang Han Chen), of North Physical Education College.

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS DRAMA SO FAR:
I love it, but not like other dramas; this one takes time for the love to grow, they actually go through hardships. People can understand and relate to {especially athletes like me}, and the drama is pure and youthful which really goes with the plot and the genre.
JUST GIVE THE FIRST 2 EPISODES A WATCH AND I BET YOU WILL BE HOOKED!
This drama is a heart warming summer love that will pull the viewers together so give it a try, it might end up teaching you a lesson. This drama could best as well be your amulet!
