No one could believe their eyes when Park Min Young appeared in the latest trailer of tvN’s upcoming series The mermaid’s kiss. Best known for her roles in sizzling romantic comedies, the actress has taken a surprisingly dark turn, exuding a disturbing, enigmatic and dangerously seductive aura.
In The mermaid’s kissPark Min Young plays Han Seol Ah, an extraordinary and provocative art auctioneer and foreman of Royal Auction, the nation’s leading art auction house. With a perfect appearance, characterized by elegance and charm, Seol Ah hides a chilling secret: every man who has fallen in love with her has died. Opposite her is Wi Ha Joon as Cha Woo Seok, the ace investigator of the Special Insurance Unit (SIU), known for his unmatched record in uncovering life insurance fraud.
As Woo Seok investigates a series of mysterious deaths linked to a deadly insurance fraud ring, he finds himself entangled in a treacherous relationship with Seol Ah. The more he delves into his investigations, the more the line between reason and obsession becomes increasingly blurred. Viewers may wonder: Is she the orchestrator of these deaths or simply a victim of manipulation? And will he survive long enough to discover the truth?
The trailer of The mermaid’s kiss sets a suspenseful and chilling tone that leans into psychological thriller territory. Park Min Young’s portrayal of Han Seol Ah is mesmerizing: her angelic beauty contrasts sharply with a haunting gaze and icy demeanor. The visual juxtaposition immediately captivates and sparks anticipation around this radically new role.
After the disappointing reception of Queen of trustPark Min Young has faced intense scrutiny over her career trajectory. As such, The mermaid’s kiss is hailed as a decisive project-one that could reaffirm its position in the industry and showcase its range beyond the rom-com genre.
Combining romance, mystery and psychological tension, The mermaid’s kiss offers the promise of a reinvented Park Min Young. If she can successfully convey Han Seol Ah’s complexities, the actress might just stage a powerful comeback, regaining both critical acclaim and fan admiration.
