Director Kim Cheolgyu and lead actors Park Minyoung, Wi Ha-jun and Kim Junghyun of 'Siren' revealed their favorite scenes and lines.
tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren' (directed by Kim Cheolgyu/ creator Jo Hyunkyung/ written by Lee Young/ produced by Studio Dragon, 케이프EnA) has been drawing attention each week with unpredictable developments and stylish directing, and the actors personally pointed out scenes in which their characters and the work's distinctive features shone, adding to anticipation for the next episode.
First, director Kim Cheolgyu, who directed the series, chose "the ending scenes from episodes 1 through 4" and said the reason was, "The two leads face each other in slightly different emotions and situations each time, and I think it was completed as an impressive scene in which the pull of a strong narrative and the beauty of well-crafted visuals blended exquisitely." The ending scenes from episodes 1 through 4 depict the relationship change between Han Seora (Park Minyoung) and Cha Wooseok (Wi Ha-jun), which begins with suspicion, passes curiosity and leads to interest, delivering both tension and thrill.
Park Minyoung, who plays Han Seora, also picked the confrontation ending between Han Seora and Cha Wooseok in episode 2. About this scene, in which Han Seora's mysterious yet captivating charm stood out, she said, "Han Seora approaches Cha Wooseok as he briefs her about himself and says, 'You talk as if you know everything about me, so then try to guess, the next man who will fall in love with Han Seora.'" She expressed satisfaction, saying it was a difficult passage in many ways but she was proud that it came out well.
Wi Ha-jun said his favorite scene was the action sequence that served as Cha Wooseok's first appearance. Describing it as the scene that best explains a character like Cha Wooseok, who stops at nothing to catch insurance fraudsters, Wi Ha-jun said, "I was happy to perform with actor Hong Junyoung, whom I have liked for a long time. I was worried because he is a real pro, but he did so well and our chemistry was good, so the scene came out well," and he shared an interesting behind-the-scenes anecdote.
Finally, Kim Junghyun, who plays Baek Junbeom and serves as one axis of the show's twists, chose Baek Junbeom's line from episode 8, "Seora, I'm Baek Junbeom who can do anything now. I'll give you whatever you want." It was a moment that highlighted Baek Junbeom's obsession, who decided to live someone else's life out of a misguided love for Han Seora, and Kim Junghyun showed affection for the character, saying, "It was a moment when Baek Junbeom's vanity and obsession, which even justify abandoning himself to win Han Seora, felt pitiable."
As such, 'Siren,' which leaves lingering impressions with scenes personally selected by director Kim Cheolgyu and the actors, is foreshadowing another unpredictable development centered on Baek Junbeom's rampage. In particular, since Han Seora is found next to Baek Junbeom, who collapsed bleeding, delivering a shock, the next story is even more eagerly anticipated.
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren,' which unfolds a feast of new memorable scenes the more you think about it, will air episode 9 tomorrow (30th) at 8:50 p.m.
