When an Official Newspaper Calls Wang Yibo’s The Mermaid a “Blockbuster”
What does it really mean when an established newspaper quietly places Wang Yibo’s new drama The Mermaid on its “blockbuster” list? In this video, we take a calm but in-depth look at why Yangcheng Evening News highlighted this project, and what that says about changing tastes in Chinese drama.

We explore how The Mermaid appears to move far beyond a typical “idol drama”: a colder, more atmospheric world, a demanding director, and a role that pushes Wang Yibo away from polished posters and into harsher, more realistic conditions on set. Is this simply another high-profile title, or could it be a genuine turning point in how audiences see him as an actor?

Together, we’ll talk about the bigger picture: why viewers are growing tired of shallow, repetitive spectacles; why they are now seeking stories with emotional depth and lasting impact; and how fans are already turning their curiosity about The Mermaid into art, edits and thoughtful discussion. This video is based on public reports and commentary, and is intended for respectful analysis and entertainment only.
