Hong Hwa-yeon began a precarious tightrope walk.
Hong Hwa-yeon is portraying the role of Yeo Eun-nam, the granddaughter of Chairman Cha Gang-cheon of Daesan Group (played by Woo Hyun), in the SBS weekend drama "Treasure Island" (screenplay by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, Purmeerkongjakso).
In the last broadcast, Yeo Eun-nam unexpectedly reunited with Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik), opening the curtain on their forbidden love. Dong-joo's sudden confession and passionate kiss left Eun-nam with a confusing mix of sadness and relief, creating a strong aftertaste.
After reuniting with Dong-joo, Eun-nam continued a tense confrontation with her husband, Yeom Hee-cheol (played by Kwon Soo-hyun). Yeom Hee-cheol sought to use Eun-nam to strengthen his power within Daesan Group, and while Eun-nam tried to escape from him, she faced difficulty due to the complicated family issues.
Hong Hwa-yeon vividly portrayed Eun-nam's inner conflict between love and reality, maximizing the immersion in the drama. In particular, she expressed Eun-nam's anguish from being unable to break free from Yeom Hee-cheol and the subtle emotional changes after reuniting with Seo Dong-joo through restrained emotional acting, deepening the character's complexity.
In this way, Hong Hwa-yeon perfectly embodies Yeo Eun-nam's dual facets, further intensifying the tension in "Treasure Island." As Eun-nam's choices signal significant repercussions between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Hee-cheol, her future actions spark curiosity.
Meanwhile, the drama "Treasure Island," featuring Hong Hwa-yeon, airs every Friday at 10 p.m. and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
