Ms. Claudine Barretto as Marina Aguas
Dreamer, Cursed. Marina is the daughter of Elias and Esther. Born Cristina, she had mush to deal with since her father left her. On her seventh birthday, the curse that Victoria put on her took shape and she turned into a mermaid. Because the town thinks of mermaids as bad luck, when they found out about Marina's presence, they threatened to kill her. Thus, Esther let her go into the ocean. She then meets Luna and they become fast friends - not knowing that they're half sisters. But after, she leaves her to be with her mermaid family, headed by Istah. Now an adult, she misses being a human, and most of all, her mother. She would do anything to have her feet again.
Snooky Serna as Esther Sto. Domingo
Loving, Selfless. Esther is Elias’ wife and mother of Cristina. First, she came to town when she bought the resort, but eventually fell in love with Elias, not knowing that their daughter would be cursed. She ended up taking care of a normal Cristina by herself since Elias went back to Victoria. But when Cristina turned into a mermaid, the only thing she could do was to leave her daughter in the ocean for fear that the townspeople would kill her. Ever since then, she always looks out into the ocean, hoping to see her daughter again.
Joel Torre as Elias Sto. Domingo
Ambitious, Sacrificial. Elias is Esther’s husband and the father of both Cristina and Luna. All his life, he has dreamed for a better life. Before, he used to be lovers with Victoria, but once he saw Esther, it was love at first site. Because of the curse that Victoria made on their baby, he decided to go back to Victoria in order for Cristina to live normally. Once he saw that his daughter turned into a mermaid, he wanted to kill Victoria, but she ended up also putting a curse on him. Now, he can’t remember anything and lives with Lorelei. In fact, they seem to act very similar.
Cherie Gil as Victoria Raymundo
Vengeful, Powerful. Victoria is the sea deity/goddess of the town and is very much celebrated. Whenever they need fish, she calls on her powers. Because her former lover, Elias, left her to be with Esther, she turned evil and used her power to curse their daughter. He ended up going back to her, and they produced their own daughter, Luna. But because he didn’t love her again, she not only continued her curse on Cristina, but on Elias as well. In doing so, she is now paralyzed and is teaching her daughter about her powers.
Sunshine Cruz as Istah
Caring, Eternal Beauty. Istah is the queen of the mermaids and mortal enemy of Dugong. She adopts Cristina and changes her name to Marina. Throughout the years, Istah treats Marina as if she was her own daughter and would do anything to make her happy.
Agot Isidro as Sheila Coralles
Classy, Sympathetic. Sheila is Marina’s attorney and administrator of the resort. Because she owes a lot to mermaids, she helped Marina take over the resort when she found her on the beach. She also was a mermaid and the daughter of Dugong, but was thrown out for fear that she would take all of her mother’s power. Since then, she has grown up to be a human with a soft heart.
Bobby Andrews as Raphael Sandico
Serious, Intrigued. Raphael is Esther's psychiatrist. His father took care of Esther, but he has now passed on his profession to Raphael. He treats Esther as if she was his mother and always watches out for her. Compared to his younger brother, Quintin, he’s always serious and often butts heads with Marina.
Meryl Soriano as Luna Raymundo
Responsible, Polite. Luna is the daughter of Elias and Victoria. Ever since her father left, her mother always yells at her when she does something wrong. So, one day, she goes to the sea and finds Cristina. They become best of friends and keeps it a secret that she knows a mermaid. But when Luna needs her most, Cristina is gone and has been lonely ever since. Ever since then, she has found Elias and has taken care of him behind Victoria’s back. She also doesn’t want to inherit her mother’s powers.
Malou De Guzman as Dugong
Mischievous, Villainous. Dugong is a sea creature that has many powers, one of which is to give mermaids feet. She is also Victoria’s partner-in-evil-crimes, and they always talk on a cliff. She's very selfish in that she always wants something in return. Her favorite thing to eat is human men and hates mermaids. Because she loves singing, she scares the fish away. That has made the townspeople hate mermaids because they think it’s them doing it.
Debraliz as Pilar Ballesteros
Dependable, Supportive. Pilar is Esther's maid and closest confidante. She is also the mother of Mario and Isabel. She takes care of Esther, especially ever since Esther had to give up Cristina.
Eugene Domingo as Lorelei
Kid-like, Forgetful. Lorelei is the town's comedian because she acts like a little kid. She also has short-term memory, so she won't remember what happened a couple seconds ago. She finds a lost, similar-acting Elias (or in her case, "pag-ibig") on the beach, so she decides to take care of him. They become like siblings. Unbeknownst to her, she feels something about the supernatural things in the water.
Jenny Miller as Vixia
Happy, Playful. Vixia is a mermaid who is one of Marina's best friends.
Maoui David as Quiana
Insightful, Cheerful. Quiana is another mermaid who befriends Marina. She also had a boyfriend and was once a human before through the help of Dugong.
Pauline Luna as Isabel Ballesteros
Girly, Passionate. Isabel is the litter sister of Mario and daughter of Pilar. She's a typical teenager who loves being around boys, looking pretty, and isn’t really interested in working. She always spends time with her best friend, Carlitos. She has hated mermaids, ever since she saw her father get taken by one, to the point that she wants to kill one, not knowing that her idol, Marina, is one.
John Barretto as Leon del Rosario
Dustin Reyes as Mario Ballesteros
Hardworking, Simple. Mario is the oldest child of Pilar. Ever since his father, Virgilio, went missing he had to watch over his mother and little sister, Isabel. He likes being stable in his life and working at the resort. He’s also is down to earth and doesn’t believe his sister’s claims about mermaids.
Luke Jickain as Quintin Sandico
Charming, Happy-go-lucky. Quintin, a pretty boy, is a marine biologist (imagine if he found out that mermaids exists) who joined his brother at the resort to find out who Marina really is. In doing so, he has become so fascinated by her that he has started to ask her out for a date. He hasn’t scored yet, but continues to smile and make jokes to the rather serious happenings at the resort. THIS IS CLAUDINE'S LEADING MAN!
Alvin Marquez as Randolph Rivera
Gab Drilon as Carlitos Caballero
Gentleman, Persistent. Carlitos is not only Isabel’s best friend, but her suitor. He cares so much for her, that he would do anything for her. Even though he feels everything is against him (like him being poor), he won’t give up to make Isabel say yes to being his girlfriend.
Abel Tolentino as Ronald Martinez
In love, Scared. Ronald is a scuba diver that works at the resort with his best friend, Randolph. He fell in love at first sight with Luna, but because she’s more interested in Randolph, he’s scared to court her. In fact, he pretends that the chocolates and flowers he gives her are from Randolph.
Deejay Durano as Manding, Thess Antonio as Azon, and Jojit Lorenzo as Gaspar
Superstitious, Manipulated. They are 3 of the citizens of the town and follow everything Victoria says for fear of losing fish.
Cobbie Ramirez as Virgilio Ballesteros
Loyal, Defender. Virgilio also helps out Esther at the resort. He is Pilar's husband and the father of Isabel and Mario. One day, fishing with his kids, he heard a beautiful singing voice from the sea. He was entranced, jumped in, and has been missing ever since.
