I know what the producers did here: They did not make this a BL to appeal to a wider audience - BUT they also placed BL elements to titillate BL fans to reach THAT market as well. So, even though this is not a BL, they gave BL fans some bits to munch on.
It's not perfect but I'm still giving it a high score because it's a breath of fresh air from pollution in the sea of BL/bromance series. Also for the strong chemistry of the two MLs.
I was ready to give it a perfect 10, but the first half of the finale episode (rescue and escape) quite ruined it for me. It could have been better written and executed.
Three nagging questions were left unanswered:
1) Where does Longjie get money now that grandpa is gone?
2) Why does Merman know how to read?
3) When Merman got caught in the rain and grew a tail, we saw his shoes near the tail. Where did his pants go?? Haha!!
9 / 10.
