The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren' (directed by Kim Cheol-gyu/ creator Jo Hyun-gyeong/ written by Lee Young/ produced by Studio Dragon, Cape EnA), which is receiving a hot response immediately after its first broadcast, features Park Minyoung delivering a powerful performance as Han Seol-a, an art auctioneer with secrets, acting as the central axis of a well-made romance thriller.
In the drama, the character Han Seol-a is suspected by insurance investigator Cha Woo-seok (played by Wi Ha-jun) as a suspected insurance murderer because all her former lovers met death.Park Minyoung, to fully immerse herself in the character, not only lost weight but also changed her lifestyle patterns, drinking more than 3L of water a day while filming.This choice was made to realistically portray writer Lee Young's setting that Han Seol-a endures her days on whiskey and water without proper meals.
The Han Seol-a character born of this passion left a strong impression on viewers from her first appearance.She heightened curiosity with a shocking act of tearing apart a painting confirmed to be a forgery while making a wooden bird with a chisel and bleeding with a strange expression in the process.In particular, the wood carving scene that showed Han Seol-a's mysterious charm is made more interesting by the fact that Park Minyoung personally did the wood carving.

Park Minyoung also sparked curiosity about the character with delicate facial expressions that oscillated between sadness and chill.When she was investigated over a death that occurred at Royal Auction, she responded calmly but then depicted a precarious psyche with trembling breaths.
Moreover, her momentary wavering at insurance investigator Cha Woo-seok's questions was brief; in an instant she filled her gaze with hostility, revealing emotional changes.Most of all, when left alone, Han Seol-a's expressions changing by the moment were portrayed with a different depth of gaze, intensifying suspicion.
Thanks to Park Minyoung's passionate performance that convincingly drew the secret-laden character's narrative, 'Siren' recorded a nationwide and Seoul metropolitan area peak rating of 7.2% on its first broadcast (based on paid platforms including cable, IPTV and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea), signaling a smooth start.Therefore, with the increasingly immersive work of the dependable Park Minyoung, the next installment of 'Siren' is eagerly awaited.
