Siren’s Kiss Episode 10 Recap

Episode 10 resumes with Seol-ah pulling Woo-seok away before Hyun-su sees him. After Hyun-su enters the 304 apartment, Seol-ah and Woo-seok ask each other why they’re at the same place. Seol-ah rejects telling him about Hyun-su’s connection with Sun-ae. She simply walks away as she doesn’t want Woo-seok to get involved in this issue and get killed.

Woo-seok, however, doesn’t stop, given that Hyun-su is the killer of his sister. He feels that he is behind certain big fraudulent activities. At the police station, Eun-hye is questioned, and she tearfully tells that she didn’t kill anyone, but she hates Seol-ah as her brother Eun-hyuk is always getting hurt. Eun-hyuk overhears it and realises that his sister has yearned for his love because most of the time he is concerned only about Seol-ah.

Elsewhere, Woo-seok learns that Jun-beom/Su-ho has filed a deed stating that, after his death, the ownership of the Stiller painting will pass to Seol-ah. This makes Woo-seok panic as Seol-ah can be in grave danger if she agrees to own the painting. Joo-young thinks Eun-hyuk is suspicious and meets him one day, asking him all sorts of questions. But he answers neatly, making it hard for Joo-young.

After hearing about Stiller’s painting’s ownership transfer, Sun-ae tries to sweet-talk Seol-ah, but Seol-ah states she’s not interested in taking the ownership and also mentions that the upcoming auction will be the last one she’ll work for. Woo-seok tries reaching out to Seol-ah, and they both discuss Sun-ae’s illegal assets, which include a fruit shop that’s named after Hyun-su. Learning that Hyun-su is linked with Sun-ae, Woo-seok decides to work on this case for Seol-ah and his late sister’s sake.

Sun-ae arranges a private meeting with her two allies, Hyun-su and a mysterious man. She tells about Seol-ah’s plan to reveal the stolen paintings. Hence, Hyun-su ensures that the stacked paintings are moved to Sun-ae’s private vault in the building. Both Woo-seok and Seol-ah confirm about the private vault, and they plan to do the master plan: Enter the vault.

On the day of the auction, when Sun-ae leaves the building, Woo-seok and Seol-ah plan to enter the vault. The hacker guy takes note of Sun-ae’s car so they can know when she’ll return. Meanwhile, Seol-ah enters the vault with an attached camera and headphones on so that Woo-seok can watch over her. Seol-ah predicts the password of the Vault, and it works. However, as she enters, the door locks, and a notification goes to Sun-ae.

The network gets jammed, and Seol-ah loses connection with Woo-seok. Inside the vault, she records a video of all the stolen paintings and also sees her late dad’s painting of their family. She tearfully remembers her hard past. Just then, Woo-seok is informed that Sun-ae’s car is returning to the building. Woo-seok then plans to save Seol-ah. Inside the vault, when Seol-ah decides to exit, she realises that the exit code is different.

Panicking, she keeps inserting various codes that trigger an alarm. The episode ends with the Vault door opening and Seol-ah rushing and hiding behind a pillar.

Siren’s Kiss Episode 10 Review

No matter how much Seol-ah tries to keep Woo-seok away from her, he keeps coming back to her, wanting to protect her. As they both try to protect each other, a common nemesis, Hyun-su, emerges. Amidst this, a suspicion towards Eun-hyuk rises. Since the anonymous man who joined Sun-ae’s private meeting had a similar dressing style to Eun-hyuk, it makes the viewers wonder whether he could be the killer.

The vault scene is the highlight of the episode as it keeps the viewers on the edge. Seol-ah entering alone, losing connection, and getting trapped builds the tension perfectly. The discovery of the stolen paintings and her father’s artwork adds an emotional touch to the tension. Just when things seem to go wrong, the episode ends on a cliffhanger with Seol-ah hiding as the door opens. Could it be Eun-hyuk? Could it be Woo-seok? Or is Sun-ae going to catch Seol-ah? All the answers are in the upcoming finale.
