Siren's Kiss (Korean: 세이렌) is an upcoming South Korean romantic thriller television series created by Cho Hyun-kyung, written by Lee Young, directed by Kim Cheol-kyu, and starring Park Min-young, Wi Ha-joon, and Kim Jung-hyun. Based on the 1999 Japanese television series Koori no Sekai by Hisashi Nozawa, it follows an insurance investigator tracking a series of fraud cases involving the deaths of men who loved a mysterious woman, only to find himself dangerously digging into her life as a prime suspect. It is scheduled to premiere on tvN on March 2, 2026, and will air every Monday and Tuesday at 20:50 (KST). It will also be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video internationally.

Synopsis

Han Seol-ah, a high-profile art auctioneer at Royal Auction, becomes the center of a criminal investigation when a pattern emerges involving the mysterious deaths of her former lovers. Cha Woo-seok, an elite investigator for an insurance company's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) with a reputation for exposing life insurance fraud, is assigned to the case following an anonymous tip. As Woo-seok rigorously pursues Seol-ah as his primary suspect, he becomes increasingly entangled in a psychological tug-of-war with her, forcing him to determine if she is a lethal "Siren" orchestrating these deaths for profit or a victim of a sophisticated conspiracy.

The series is an adaptation from the 1999 Fuji TV series Koori no Sekai.[3] Created by Cho Hyun-kyung, directed by Kim Cheol-kyu, written by Lee Young, and jointly produced by Studio Dragon and Cape E&A.[4]

Music

In an interview in July 2025, music director Heo Sung-jin revealed that she began working on the score and OST for Siren's Kiss well in advance of the production schedule.
