The Mermaid Prince: The Beginning (2020)

Great overall!

The cast was great. I saw Moonbin on the thumbnail and decided to try this webdrama. I was surprised at his acting. The storyline was quite odd and almost each relationship had a plot twist (<- which I don't really like). Identifying the protagonist was quite hard for me as the screen time for each of the main characters were pretty much the same. Since that is expected of webdramas, I think this can be in my top 10 webdramas. Although the ending is rushed, it is as expected of a webdrama. This drama is light-hearted and not too heavy; perfect for late-night binging so your eyes aren't bloated from crying the next morning and yours abs don't hurt from laughing.

short and sweet + chemistry (10/10)

story: I liked this story. It does get all over the place in my opinion, but that's high school life is like to be honest. Each couple were interesting to watch, and the chemistry was really good. although i wished that it had more episodes, the short and watch-ability of the web drama is a plus since it has a simple and cute high school love narrative.

acting: wonbin did really well. i haven't seen from any other drama, but i think she really nailed her character. for moonbin, i feel like he looked really comfortable playing this woohyuk compared to season 1. my favorite scene of his was his confession in the latter half of the series. the emotions were just right. hwi young is such a natural, i enjoyed all of his appearances! casting was really well done. I saw moon sang min in 4 reasons of why i hate christmas and was excited to see his role here too.

music: great music. i reccomend the song didn't wanna wait (pop noir).

rewatch value: i'd watch it again for the chemistry between ara and woohyuk! :)
