Mermaid Prince (2020)

story: tbh i feel like they could've have done so much with the storyline and the mysterious nature of woohyuk, but they didn't. the title has nothing to do with the story. plus they could've made a drama longer and explore the relationships; i understand it's a web drama but they definitely could've made it more interesting. plus there wans't much character development either.
acting/cast: even though i don't listen to astro, moonbin was definitely the reason why i watched this. i've never heard or seen any of the other members of the cast but it was definitely refreshing to see fresh faces. in aspects of acting, it was mediocre - there were a range of emotions shown but it wasn't carried out in an obvious way.
music: i don't listen to the ost
rewatch value: i wouldn't really rewatch this show but maybe if i'm bored or for the sake of moonbin - then maybe.

" Mermaid Prince " had an interesting idea for a story, but it needed more time to explore it in depth.

The drama started well, and it kept the interesting camera work and cinematography till the very end. The performances were good from every actor and actress in the cast, too. Also, somehow, even though this web drama is only six episodes long, the love triangle was solid and entertaining.

And now, for the minuses of the drama. The idea of the plot was nice, but it was underdeveloped.

The second couple was on and off screen and it was probably only there to fill in the scenes between the ones of the main couple's.

So, overall, four out of ten.
