The psychological battle between Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho in 'Treasure Island' is about to explode.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Treasure Island' (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu) is showing remarkable momentum. Starting from the first week of broadcasting, the drama has secured the No. 1 rating for two consecutive episodes in the Friday-Saturday drama category, and the viewership rating for the second episode rose by a staggering 2 percentage points compared to the first. The peak audience rating soared to 9.9%, raising expectations for a double-digit breakthrough. (Nielsen Korea nationwide)
In particular, reactions indicate that the ending of the second episode has gripped viewers' attention. The ambitious Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik), who was confident in handling both work and love, was betrayed by his lover and then caught in a trap set by the villain Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Joon-ho). As Seo Dong-joo is pushed to the brink, a full-scale confrontation between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon has taken shape. From the third episode, airing on Feb. 28, the explosive synergy of the destructive combination of Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho, who drive 'Treasure Island,' is highly anticipated.
Amidst this, on the 27th, the production team of 'Treasure Island' is drawing attention by releasing scenes hinting at a full-scale confrontation between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon, one day before the third episode airs. Even though it's a still capturing a brief moment, the sparks and palpable tension between the two characters are vividly felt, making it impossible to look away.
In the photo, Seo Dong-joo is seen covered in blood due to Yeom Jang-seon's attack. His strikingly shining eyes suggest a determined resolution. The next photo captures Yeom Jang-seon, engulfed in shock and anxiety. Will Seo Dong-joo cause the villain Yeom Jang-seon to become unsettled? And finally, the two meet in the same space. Perhaps because they have survived a life-threatening crisis, Seo Dong-joo's expression remains steady while Yeom Jang-seon's distorted expression, filled with anger upon seeing Seo Dong-joo, provides a stark contrast and induces a palpable tension.
In this regard, the production team of 'Treasure Island' noted, "In the third episode airing tomorrow (28th), the confrontation between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon will officially begin. The two characters will engage in an intense psychological battle, gripping the viewers' hearts. It remains to be seen who will be the first to smile in this fierce psychological warfare, and how Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho will deliver this tension with their powerful performances. We ask for the audience's great interest and expectations."
"If I don't trample, I will be trampled." The clash of desires between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon, the powerful performances of the destructive combination of Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho, and the stormy story encompassing all these elements can all be witnessed in the third episode of 'Treasure Island,' which will air on the 28th at 10 p.m.
