'Treasure Island' has once again broken its own record for the highest viewership ratings.
According to Nielsen Korea on the 9th, the sixth episode of the SBS weekend drama 'Treasure Island' (written by Lee Myung-Hee, directed by Jin Chang-Kyu), which aired on March 8, achieved a nationwide viewership rating of 11.2%, setting a new record for itself. This is a 3 percentage point increase from the previous episode and ranks first among all channels during the same time slot, as well as for Saturday mini-series and weekly mini-series. In fact, a 'first place sweep' of viewership ratings has begun. Additionally, the viewership rating in the metropolitan area was 11%, with a peak rating reaching as high as 12.3%. The 2049 viewership rating also recorded 2.9%, proving the popularity of 'Treasure Island.'
In the sixth episode of the SBS weekend drama 'Treasure Island' (written by Lee Myung-Hee, directed by Jin Chang-Kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, Purmire Workshop) aired on March 8, the desires of Seo Dong-Joo (played by Park Hyung-Sik), Yeom Jang-Seon (played by Heo Jun-Ho), and Heo Il-Do (played by Lee Hae-Young) intertwined like chains, creating intense tension. Among them, Yeom Jang-Seon's ruthless nature, which would not hesitate to kill for his goals, exploded and left Seo Dong-Joo in shock.
Earlier, Yeom Jang-Seon, suspecting that Seo Dong-Joo was putting on a memory loss act, kidnapped and tortured him. He expected that Seo Dong-Joo, unable to endure the pain, would reveal the password to a 2 trillion won account he hacked. However, even on the brink of death, Seo Dong-Joo remained tight-lipped about the account password. It was truly a situation where one could only think he had lost his memory. Eventually, Yeom Jang-Seon and Heo Il-Do changed their approach, and Heo Il-Do rescued the tortured Seo Dong-Joo.
Yeom Jang-Seon pretended to be concerned, embracing the battered Seo Dong-Joo as if he knew nothing. Seo Dong-Joo thanked Yeom Jang-Seon and Heo Il-Do for saving him. In a situation where it remained unclear whether Seo Dong-Joo truly lost his memory or was merely pretending, Yeom Jang-Seon and Heo Il-Do approached him while concealing their true intentions.
Meanwhile, the three men began to pressure each other intensively. Heo Il-Do, who was certain that Seo Dong-Joo had lost his memory, demanded half of the 2 trillion won political slush fund from Yeom Jang-Seon. "Losing everything is a possibility, so it's better to give up half," Heo Il-Do whispered threateningly. It was a side of Heo Il-Do that had never been seen before. His sudden change of demeanor made Yeom Jang-Seon feel anxious.
On the other hand, whether intentional or not, Seo Dong-Joo pressured Heo Il-Do. Staying at the Dae-San family, Seo Dong-Joo appeared in the late night training area of Heo Il-Do. Heo Il-Do felt a strong sense of inferiority and anxiety once again upon seeing Seo Dong-Joo nonchalantly entering his territory. Seo Dong-Joo did not stop there and asked, "Did you try to shoot me to kill me?"
Meanwhile, stimulated by Heo Il-Do's pressure, Yeom Jang-Seon decided to inflict more shock on Seo Dong-Joo, who had lost his memory, to help him recall it. The method of shock chosen by Yeom Jang-Seon was pure ruthlessness: killing Seo Dong-Joo's sister, Agnes (played by Han Ji-Hye), in front of him. Seo Dong-Joo, witnessing his sister's traffic accident, was engulfed in great shock. At that moment, memories seemed to flood back into Seo Dong-Joo's mind.
Seo Dong-Joo, engulfed in shock, intersected with Yeom Jang-Seon, who formulated all of this and made a wicked expression saying, "I will return the memories that disappeared due to shock with even greater shock!" as the sixth episode of 'Treasure Island' concluded. It was an ending that was unimaginable. At the same time, it was an ending that made one hope Seo Dong-Joo would begin to counterattack against Yeom Jang-Seon and take revenge miserably. The passionate performances of the actors that vividly conveyed all of this were also impressive.
