Both of these Chinese dramas, "Sparkle Love" and "My Mr. Mermaid," are about swimming and college. They're both cute and fluffy youth dramas so I think it's nice to watch as a filler drama or if you need to calm your nerves from a previous drama that you've just watched.

Both of these dramas give me similar vibes and I love both of them. The female leads are quite similar in terms of personality and fashion style. The male leads are both the CEO of a company as well. Both dramas are more of a light-hearted drama about romance-comedy. The most important is that their chemistry is on point! There's more similarities but I can't think of anymore right now.

The concept is quite similar where both of the main leads like each other but don't tell each other about it. Both are youth dramas about coming of age and school. Male leads are top students while female leads are aren't but male leads tend to help the female leads with tutoring.

The concept is somewhat similar where both leads time travel to each others' world with an unknown reason. Hence, they try to figure out what is going on and how to travel back to their own worlds. Along the way, they end up falling in love with each other.

The plot focuses on e-sports and how the main leads want to win the championship ages ago but never did since something always occurred along the way. Years later, their dream of winning the championship still exists so they continue down the road and meet the female lead along the way.

Celebrities come to the show and compete with other celebrities. The sports out there to choose from is: archery, running, swimming, gymnastics, tug-a-war, etc.
