Siren’s Kiss tells the story of a woman with irresistible charm who is suspected of insurance fraud and a man who begins to connect the dots among the deaths occurring around her.
Park described her character Han Seol Ah as a lonely woman who has panic disorders. “She doesn’t eat in the drama,” she revealed, adding, “Because so many tragic things happen around her, she doesn’t eat and only drinks water and alcohol at home.”
To fully step into the dark midspace of Han Seol Ah, Park Min Young felt that she shouldn’t put on weight while portraying her. In fact, during filming, she admitted that she was fasting and drank three litres of water every day.
Fortunately, having finished filming, Park reassured, “Now I have returned to my normal self.” She admitted that she had pushed herself into a very dark place to faithfully portray the character, but being the seasoned professional she is, she was able to snap back quickly.
While the actress might deem pushing her body to extreme lengths for her roles necessary, fans are never not worried.
