Tells the romance story of a girl named Hye Ri. She goes to Gangwon Province on a graduation trip with her friends. There she meets a mysterious man Woo Hyuk who runs a guest house. She gets attracted and closer to him and decides to name him “the mermaid prince”.
Hye-ri and her friends go on a trip. She gets drunk with her friends during the daytime and as she gets too drunk, she decides to go on a walk to sober up. But she spots someone trying to go into the water with all his clothes on. Although Hye-ri is afraid of water, she runs to him.
Hye-ri keeps feeling her heart fluttering everytime she touches Woo-hyuk. Na-yeon suggests to check out Woo-hyuk’s room so they could reveal what secret he has. Na-yeon runs into a handsome man and quickly falls for him.
Hye-ri and Woo-hyuk take a walk along the beach. And Woo-hyuk finally shares his story. After the walk, Woo-hyuk and Hye-ri get closer. Now that Hye-ri knows about Woo-hyuk, she wants to know more about him. Meanwhile, Seung-min sneaks into Woo-hyuk’s room and finds something.
Hye-ri feels like Woo-hyuk keeps avoiding her and gets disappointed. So she decides to go out and get a man at a bar. Seung-min starts to show his feelings for Hye-ri. And as he watches Hye-ri being blue because of Woo-hyuk, it frustrates him.
Hye-ri wants to forget what happened between her and Seung-min the other night since she has so many things going on her mind because of Woo-hyuk. So she takes a walk but gets lost. Worried Woo-hyuk and Seung-min, both go out to find Hye-ri. And finally, Woo-hyuk decides to take up his courage.
Now that Hye-ri and Woo-hyuk are honest about their feelings, they share their stories more. Seung-min’s one-sided love couldn’t stay hidden anymore and explodes. He frankly tells his feelings for Hye-ri to herself.
“The Mermaid Prince: The Beginning” will take viewers back in time to Woo Hyuk’s high school days in order to uncover a secret. As opposed to the mysterious, dreamy Woo Hyuk that viewers saw in the original “The Mermaid Prince”, Moonbin will be playing a far more mischievous teenage version of the character in the upcoming prequel. With its high school setting, the drama will also portray an entirely different kind of romance from that of the original series. “The Mermaid Prince: The Beginning” will tell the love story that ensues when Jo Ara, a high school student who decides to give up on dating because she doesn’t believe in love, ends up meeting Woo Hyuk. Yoon Gun is a guy that looks cold on the outside but is actually a romantic at heart and only has eyes for one person.
