In "Buried Hearts," Park Hyung-Sik, Heo Jun-Ho, and Lee Hae-Young are tightly bound by the chains of desire.
The SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Buried Hearts" (written by Lee Myung-Hee, directed by Jin Chang-Kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purumiir Studios) has dominated Friday and Saturday nights, unleashing powerful story explosions. The episode 8 of "Buried Hearts," which aired on March 15, recorded a nationwide rating of 12.3% and a metropolitan area rating of 12.3%, setting another record for itself. The momentary peak rating soared to an impressive 14.1%. (Nielsen Korea)
The unstoppable rise in ratings for "Buried Hearts" centers around three men, Seo Dong-Joo (portrayed by Park Hyung-Sik), Yeom Jang-Seon (portrayed by Heo Jun-Ho), and Heo Il-Do (portrayed by Lee Hae-Young), who are bound together by their own desires. They are expected to engage in a tense power game over a political slush fund worth 2 trillion won from "Buried Hearts" as well as the Daesan Group. So, what desires do they each hold? How have they become bound by the chains of desire?
First, Seo Dong-Joo, who has survived several life-death situations due to Yeom Jang-Seon, hacked into the Swiss bank account password containing 2 trillion won of Yeom Jang-Seon's "National Love Fund" political slush fund to survive. The "money bug" Yeom Jang-Seon can no longer spend a single won without Seo Dong-Joo's involvement. By seizing Yeom Jang-Seon's money source, Seo Dong-Joo will use this as a weapon, and will aim his blade of revenge decisively at Yeom Jang-Seon.
Yeom Jang-Seon will not simply sit back and take Seo Dong-Joo's counterattack. Yeom Jang-Seon began targeting the Daesan Group, where he could seize more money than the 2 trillion won political slush fund by eliminating the bothersome Seo Dong-Joo. To this end, Yeom Jang-Seon positioned Heo Il-Do as his puppet and plotted to take control of the Daesan Group. To achieve this, Yeom Jang-Seon exploited the weakness of Heo Il-Do, who had shot at Seo Dong-Joo. Yeom Jang-Seon intends to wield control over Heo Il-Do's life.
Pushed to the brink, Heo Il-Do has begun to reveal his hidden claws. Heo Il-Do demanded half of the 2 trillion won political slush fund from Yeom Jang-Seon. Otherwise, he threatened to kill Seo Dong-Joo and blow the 2 trillion won to bits. At the same time, he is nurturing ambitions to claim the position of chairman of the Daesan Group with the support of Yeom Jang-Seon. Seo Dong-Joo is also tightening the noose around Heo Il-Do, constantly pressuring him for shooting him.
In this way, Seo Dong-Joo, Yeom Jang-Seon, and Heo Il-Do hold each other's lifelines and money lines. The relationships of those bound by the chains of desire will become more complicated and entangled unless someone gives up their desire. It is expected to provide viewers with extreme tension and thrilling entertainment. Park Hyung-Sik, Heo Jun-Ho, and Lee Hae-Young portray the relationships of the three characters bound by the "chains of desire" with powerful performances. This is why the remaining eight episodes of "Buried Hearts" are highly anticipated.
The SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Buried Hearts" airs every Friday at 10 p.m. and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
