My Merman

TV Series🇹🇭

What happens

Legend says that merfolk who rise to the human world will see their dreams come true. Pearl believes it with his whole heart. In My Merman (พาร์ทเนอร์ของผมเป็นนายเงือก) he swims up from the sea with one goal: to win a singing audition and become an artist.

Pearl, played by Wannakorn Reungrat, has barely mastered walking when his plan goes sideways. Then he meets Kin, played by Matimun Sreeboonrueang, a songwriter who has written over a hundred songs and dreams of his own debut. Kin gets into trouble in the water, Pearl tries rescue breaths on him, and the pearl inside the merman slips into the human. Kin's lost voice comes back. Pearl's power does not.

The only way to get the pearl back is the way it went in, which means Pearl needs a kiss. He needs it soon, too, because a merman without his pearl will dissolve. So he chases Kin with one very direct request, while Kin threatens to call the police.

Fate then adds a twist. At the audition, the label decides Kin needs a stage partner, hears Pearl sing and pairs them on the spot as KinPearl. Kin also has to deal with his older brother King, played by Phupoom Phongpanupak, who already signed with the same label. Pongsaton Sittipan plays Pladao, Pearl's loyal friend from the sea, and Thanutchon Chankaewarmorn is part of the main cast.

Reviewed by Renkaze

Mermaid stories usually trade a voice for legs. My Merman flips the bargain: the merman keeps his voice, the human gets one back by accident, and the cure is a kiss that the human flatly refuses to give. Uff, I adore a premise that turns a fairy tale inside out.

A Ticking Clock Disguised as a Rom Com

The official pilot plays most scenes for laughs. Pearl asks for a kiss in public, Kin backs away, and a friend wonders why a kiss is so hard for humans. Underneath the jokes sits a real deadline. If Pearl does not get his pearl back, he dissolves. That mix of slapstick and stakes gives the romance a pulse.

Music at the Heart

This is a story about two people who want to sing. The pilot opens with an underwater number, carries a love song through the middle and ends on a duet. The label even names the pair KinPearl before they agree to anything, which feels like a wink at how real idol pairings get built. I expect the soundtrack to matter a lot here.

Wannakorn and Matimun

Wannakorn Reungrat plays Pearl with wide eyes and zero shame, which suits a creature still learning human manners. Matimun Sreeboonrueang gives Kin a tired, sharp edge, the edge of a young man stuck in his older brother's shadow. When Kin finally learns the truth, his first words are that he would have returned the pearl long ago, and that kindness tells you who he really is.

Friends From the Studio

Kim Pongsaton Sittipan plays Pladao, Pearl's friend from the sea, and Latte Thanutchon Chankaewarmorn also joins the cast. Both acted together in Love Upon a Time, so it is lovely to see them reunite on a new Mandee project.

What I Am Watching For

Pearl still needs his kiss and I still need episode one, so the score stays under the water for now. I want to see whether Pearl chooses his dream, his partner or both, and how the series handles the rivalry between the two brothers.

My tip: keep watching after the pilot title card. There is a short bonus scene at a street food stall that is, for me, the funniest minute in the whole video.

Themes and Messages

Every dream here comes with a price tag. Pearl crosses into a world that is not safe for him because he wants to sing, and Kin keeps writing songs while the industry tells him a solo debut is too hard. The pilot ends by asking what happens when a dream demands a life as payment.

Belonging is the softer thread. Pearl hides what he is because he expects to be called a freak. Kin lives in his brother's shadow. Each one offers the other a place to be seen as he really is.

Did You Know?

  • The opening song of the pilot is sung underwater by the merfolk, with the line that no wave is louder than a heartbeat.
  • Pearl explains that he does not like eating sea animals, which raises Kin's suspicions.
  • The official hashtags are #MyMermanSeries and #พาร์ทเนอร์ของผมเป็นนายเงือกseries.
