Actress Do Ji-won has thoroughly completed the inner world of a character that swings from one extreme to another.
The unpredictable developments each episode captivated viewers of the SBS weekend drama "Buried Hearts" (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purmir Studio). The broadcast of the last 13th and 14th episodes unfolded the story of the death of Lee Hae-Young (Heo Il-do) and the fierce conflicts involving Seo Dong-joo (Park Hyung-sik) and Yeom Jang-seon (Heo Jun-ho).
Amid this, the actions of Ji-young Soo (Do Ji-won), who has officially entered Daesan Group, also caught attention. Earlier, Chairman Cha Gang-cheon (Woo Hyun) married Young-soo to position his extramarital child and Young-soo's son, Ji Seon-woo (Cha Woo-min), as the heir of Daesan Group. Having secured the position of mistress of the Daesan family, Ji-young Soo confidently asked Cha Deok-hee (Kim Jung-nan), who has displeased her, to call her either "new mother" or "mother," and she also boldly requested to be called "grandmother" by Lee Eun-nam (Hong Hwa-yeon) and Heo Tae-yoon (Yoon Sang-hyun).
Furthermore, the subtle tension between Young-soo and Deok-hee added more enjoyment. Young-soo's changed demeanor in responding with a much more relaxed attitude to Deok-hee, who always spoke to her in a threatening manner, calibrated the tension of the drama.
Meanwhile, Young-soo, carefully asking Cha Gang-cheon about what to do with the position of CEO of Daesan Energy that was previously held by Heo Il-do, revealed deep-seated desires. However, Dong-joo's visit to the two subtly warned Young-soo to not forget her contributions as Young-soo silently looked coldly at Dong-joo, heightening the tension of the conflict between the two.
In this way, Do Ji-won meticulously expressed the complex emotions of a character undergoing gradual change, inciting viewer immersion. Especially, in the beginning stages, she emitted a strong presence by reflecting a completely transformed appearance with a colder gaze and a much more relaxed tone, proving her acting prowess with excellent control of pacing while playing a significant role in the work.
Will Ji-young Soo really be able to position her son as the heir of Daesan Group? The final episode of the SBS weekend drama "Buried Hearts," featuring Do Ji-won, will air next Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
