When a mysterious young man emerges from the ocean with shimmering scales adorning his skin, the quiet coastal town of San Miguel is thrown into a whirlwind of curiosity and fear. Sereno, a merman caught between two worlds, is discovered by the kind-hearted but troubled local fisherman, Kalo. As the two forge an unlikely bond, Sereno must navigate the dangers of human society—including a possessive ex-lover and a secretive organization hunting mythical beings—while Kalo grapples with his own family secrets and growing feelings for the enigmatic creature. With stunning underwater visuals, a campy yet heartfelt tone, and a central romance that oscillates between tender and tumultuous, Sereno offers a uniquely Filipino twist on the merman mythos. Despite its uneven plot and penchant for melodrama, the series captivates with its gorgeous production design, memorable soundtrack, and a fearless embrace of its own outrageous charm. Perfect for viewers who love fantasy BL with a side of soapy, over-the-top drama.

I came for the merman fantasy and stayed for the chaotic chemistry between Kalo and Sereno. Yes, the plot is all over the place and the love triangle is annoying, but the main couple's moments are genuinely sweet and the soundtrack is gorgeous. Plus, the second couple? Totally stole my heart. It's messy but I had fun!

The premise is fantastic and the visuals are actually impressive for a YouTube BL, but the writing is a trainwreck. Too much time wasted on a tedious love triangle and cringey comedy (sniffing underwear? really?). The main romance barely gets any development. If they had trimmed the filler and focused on the merman lore, this could have been great. As it is, it's a guilty pleasure at best.

Visually, this is one of the most ambitious Filipino BLs I've seen. The intro graphics are breathtaking, the color grading in underwater scenes is top-notch, and the music perfectly underscores every emotional beat. The acting is also solid. It's a shame the script couldn't match the production value—too many tangents and tonal shifts. But as an aesthetics geek, I found plenty to admire.

I'm a sucker for a great BL soundtrack and Sereno delivers. The haunting instrumental theme that plays during Sereno's solo moments is perfection, and the songs used for the romantic scenes really amplify the melancholy. Even when the story frustrated me, the audio kept me invested. I just wish they had given the composer more coherent scenes to work with.

I wanted to love this but the constant non-consensual kisses and manipulative behavior from multiple characters made me uncomfortable. The show seems to romanticize toxic dynamics under the guise of 'passion.' The merman concept is neat, but the treatment of consent is irresponsible. The second couple is slightly better, but overall this needs a trigger warning list a mile long.
