Actor Kwon Soo-hyun is showcasing his improved acting skills and chemistry with other actors in "Buried Hearts."
Kwon Soo-hyun is capturing viewers' attention by playing the role of prosecutor "Yeom Hee-cheol" from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office in the SBS weekend drama "Buried Hearts" (written by Lee Myung-hee/directed by Jin Chang-gyu/produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purmir Workshop). We looked back at Yeom Hee-cheol's achievements that have become more evident as the episodes progress.
#Eternal rival, the tense confrontation with Seo Dong-joo
Yeom Hee-cheol engaged in intense psychological warfare every time he met Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik). He appeared as the husband of Yeon Nam (played by Hong Hwa-yeon), who was Dong-joo's lover, forming a precarious love triangle. Moreover, Hee-cheol encountered a amnesiac Dong-joo at the suit shop he went to with Yeon Nam. He roughly grabbed Dong-joo by the collar and said, "Hey, you punk. What kind of nonsense is this?" Notably, when Hee-cheol honestly told Dong-joo that he had lost his memory, his eyes revealed a mix of anger and contempt, heightening viewers' immersion.
#A love that exceeded expectation with Yeon Nam at first sight
Yeon Nam has always been special to Hee-cheol. He fell in love with her at first sight when he was reluctantly forced into a meeting arranged by his uncle Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho). Afterward, even while knowing the relationship between Dong-joo and Yeon Nam, Hee-cheol pretended not to notice and calmly expressed his feelings to Yeon Nam, who demanded a divorce, saying, "I like you much more than you think, Yeon Nam. I'm not getting a divorce. I won't do it." Furthermore, he revealed his deep affection for Yeon Nam by telling her to leave the house, stating that if he demanded a divorce, there would be no penalty fees due to the marriage contract.
#The difficult relationship with his uncle Yeom Jang-seon
Since school days, Hee-cheol has witnessed Jang-seon manipulating the rugby team violence incident to expel Dong-joo, which made him feel he could not defy Jang-seon. Even as an adult, Hee-cheol showed signs of relying on Jang-seon, saying, "Is this sudden invitation to meet because my aunt Cha Guk-hee has entered the prosecution? There must be nothing wrong with her. Jang-seon is there, right?" Many are curious whether Hee-cheol can break away from Jang-seon and find his own voice.
In this way, Kwon Soo-hyun perfectly embodies the character "Yeom Hee-cheol" who has a complex inner world. He delicately expresses various chemistries, from the sharp psychological warfare with Dong-joo to unrequited love for Yeon Nam, and the complicated relationship with Jang-seon, enriching the narrative. As Kwon Soo-hyun has built a solid narrative for the character with stable performances in the first half, expectations are high for the achievements he will showcase in the latter half.
Meanwhile, "Buried Hearts," featuring Kwon Soo-hyun, Park Hyung-sik, Heo Jun-ho, and Hong Hwa-yeon, airs every Friday and Saturday night at 9:50 p.m. on SBS.
