the mermaid prince: the beginning

This is the prequel to the mermaid prince but if I'm being honest there's no way you would correlate it to this other than the title (that's an exaggeration). But you would not even know it was a prequel if you watched this one first.

It is such a cute drama and it is very short which makes it that much enjoyable, a total of 10 episodes 14 minutes each. I do think it is worth a watch and definitely perfect to binge watch.

Moonbin I love you.

Plot: 70

Acting: 90

Ending: 70

TOTAL: 77/100

Here goes...

I was never a fan of Astro or moonbin, i was never an avid kpop fan but the news of his passing had such a big impact on me, it's hard to let go. I am still in denial..

I first knew moonbin from the mermaid prince, I was drawn by his personality and character, but that's that. It felt like just a week ago i watched him on running man, having the time of his life with his boys. His videos would occassionally pop up on my tik tok, he'd always be dancing passionately on stage, and also the one shining the brightest.

I knew he existed, but i did not get the chance to know him.

On the day the news broke, i found myself grieving and crying over a guy i barely knew, the whole world was grieving.. The past few days was tough, my social media platforms were flooded with him and it is through his passing, i've gotten to know who this guy is. This man is a gem. He had the brightest smile, a beautiful personality and such a pure heart. He was a loving guy, and had such a big heart for the people around him. I ended up falling for him, and for who he is.

My only regret is that I wished i could've gotten to know him a lot earlier.. and now all that is left is just memories of him that i plan on revisiting because thats how i am going to choose to love him and keep him alive.

My heart aches for his loved ones and the people who loved him.. he was such a sweet boy with so much in stored for him.. my heart goes out to his family, to the astro boys, to his bestest friends. He was such a great brother, friend and family member..

Rest in peace Moonbin. You brought so much joy and love to the world, and i hope you know how loved you are. But i am glad i had that small pocket of time to know you when you were still here.. My heart aches so badly everytime i see something about you. Thank you for leaving such great memories and records that i can always look back upon fondly. You always do your best for the people around you, you always choose to show people you're okay despite how tired you are. Thank you for being you, thank you for all that you've done. You can rest now…

I just wished i had more time to get to know you..

I had a dream that moonbin throat fucked me and than we had a bath together. WHY DID I HAVE TO WAKE UP FROM THAT DREAM UGHH

UGHHHH, WHAT I WOULDN’T DO FOR THAT MAN. Literally Mermaid Prince RUINED me. I have this thing for swimmers and UGHHHH. Swimmer Moonbin. I…I can’t😭😭

[singinginkorean]

ASTRO was the first group I really liked. Struggling to learn their lyrics encouraged me to study Korean.

MoonBin was so special. This news is truly heartbreaking.

Wasn’t I just watching The Mermaid Prince? I kept thinking how much I enjoyed his acting.

I hate this. 😞

BIOGRAFIA

TW: abandono parental.

Oh Jeongil, filho de uma ex-cantora que foi obrigada a abandonar a carreira em virtude da gravidez indesejada e de um produtor que era pelo menos dez anos mais velho do que a genitora, não era exatamente uma criança fácil de se lidar. Quer dizer, pelo menos foi isso que o garoto ouviu de sua mãe desde muito cedo, o que não lhe agradava nem um pouco. 

A família Oh estava longe de ser uma daquelas de comercial de margarina, a matriarca mal sabia como lidar com o filho, afinal, ser mãe tão cedo não estava em seus planos. A personalidade forte do garoto só se intensificou conforme foi envelhecendo, só piorando quando seu pai resolveu abandonar a família, deixando para trás o garoto com a mãe e irmã mais nova.

Parecia que a única coisa capaz de canalizar um pouco o excesso de energia do garoto era a arte, mas, ao invés de ser uma solução, isso se tornou um problema. Sua mãe era completamente contra a ideia de Jeongil se voltar para qualquer forma de expressão artística, afinal, ela sabia muito bem como a indústria podia ser cruel. Porém, seu filho não parecia lhe dar ouvidos.

Ele apenas conseguiu entrar em aulas de dança com o apoio de um de seus professores do ensino fundamental, a qual lhe deu todo o apoio necessário. Ele foi não apenas a sua inspiração e porto seguro, mas também a figura paterna que tanto lhe fazia falta.

Conforme o tempo se passava, mais o talento do garoto se mostrava excepcional. Ele possuía uma facilidade imensa em aprender coreografias, e constantemente era elogiado como sendo o melhor dançarino de sua classe, o que enchia a si próprio de orgulho (além de alimentar um pouco o seu ego).

Foi por sugestão de seu professor que o rapaz se arriscou como nunca antes, participando de audições em empresas de entretenimento em busca de um sonho maior, decidido a se tornar um artista de sucesso e provar para a sua mãe que a sua história não seria uma cópia em carbono da dela.

E não foi apenas ele que se arriscou: o seu professor, aquele que tanto o incentivou, foi quem se passou por seu responsável para permitir que o menor de idade participasse das audições. Quando a trama foi descoberta, o homem acabou perdendo seu emprego em virtude da atitude irresponsável, e por muito tempo a vida de Jeongil se tornou um inferno. Sua mãe deixou bem claro que o tiraria daquela empresa, seus dias estavam contados... A saída era óbvia.

Jeongil fugiu de casa na mesma madrugada, deixando tudo para trás e se agarrando em um grande "talvez", só sendo capaz de seguir treinando pois, depois de muito custo, conseguiu se emancipar e tornar-se independente.

Conforme as semanas se transformavam em meses e os meses em anos, a angústia no peito do rapaz só aumentava. Será que sua mãe estava certa? Ele realmente fracassaria, assim como ela fracassou?

Não. Não seria o caso, afinal, diferente de sua mãe, ele estava completamente sozinho. Não havia ninguém para atrapalhar a sua jornada.

Finalmente, quando estava prestes a perder todas as esperanças, veio a notícia tão almejada: Jeongil finalmente iria debutar, adotando o nome de palco "Nox". Poderia mostrar todo o seu talento como... Vocalista principal? Não, esse certamente não era o seu ponto forte, por que o colocaram nessa posição?!

Bem, era pegar ou largar. E Jeongil — Nox — nunca teve tanta certeza em sua vida de que deveria se agarrar a uma oportunidade. Mas agora, depois de anos de carreira, talvez alguns fantasmas do passado voltassem para lhe assombrar...
