Me And The Merman In My Bathroom!
This was actually a really good and fun watch. It had humor, friendship, a good plot, and heart! This little gem is definitely worth watching.
Long Jie is a high school student who’s been living with his grandpa after his parents died. One day, after his grandpa passes away, Long Jie falls into the sea and gets saved by a merman. There's this saying that if a merman is saved by a human, he has to grant a wish. Turns out, this merman was saved by Long Jie's grandpa years ago, and the wish he made was for his grandson’s happiness. So now the merman, who Long Jie names Li Ren Yu, has 49 days to make him happy so he can return to the sea.
This was absolutely hilarious. I laughed at so many jokes. I think I’m getting used to Taiwanese humor and honestly, it’s so good. But then it also hits you in the feels by the end and yep... tears.
The friendships were amazing to watch. I loved the youthful energy of the group. Long Jie, Cong Jian, Bi Yu, even the bully guy Da Bao. All of them were so much fun. The bromance between Long Jie and Ren Yu was the highlight for me. I get why people wanted this to be a BL because the chemistry was there, like wow. But I actually really liked that it wasn’t. I’d even say it wouldn’t have been as powerful if it was a romance. Their platonic bond was deeper than any ocean. And sometimes that hits harder than any love story.
It starts off like “there’s a monster living in my bathroom” and slowly becomes something really beautiful. They care so much about each other. They go through so much. And it genuinely hurt when Ren Yu had to leave. I wasn’t ready to let go.
But like... be honest... this had every single BL-coded scene. I kept thinking “ok but kiss?” even while loving the whole deep friendship angle. They literally bathed together every night even though Ren Yu didn’t have “that thing” lol.
Also, I actually liked the soft romance between Bi Yu and Long Jie. Awkward boy meets confident, quiet girl is Kinda adorable.
Overall, do yourself a favor and watch this please!!!
