In "Buried Hearts," the malevolence of Heo Jun-ho ignites Park Hyung-sik's desire for revenge.
SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Buried Hearts" (written by Lee Myung-hee/directed by Jin Chang-gyu/produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, Purumir Production) is gaining momentum as it records overwhelming figures in both ratings and popularity. The 14th episode of "Buried Hearts" achieved a nationwide rating of 14.6%, 14.5% in the metropolitan area, and a peak moment of 16.1%. It not only set a new record but also ranked first in the drama brand reputation released by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute for April 2025.
With only two episodes left until the finale, interest is high about how much "Buried Hearts" can continue to rise in ratings and how it will conclude with a powerful story. In particular, the unyielding final showdown between the two main characters, Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik) and Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho), who hold each other's financial and life threads, is drawing attention. Many viewers are looking forward to Seo Dong-joo's revenge ending.
In the meantime, the production team of "Buried Hearts" delivered a strong spoiler immediately after the exciting ending of the 14th episode. At the end of the 14th episode, Seo Dong-joo live-streamed Yeom Jang-seon's heinous acts to the entire nation. At the same time, a revelation regarding the "dandelion materials" filled with Yeom Jang-seon's misdeeds was promised. The juxtaposition of a smiling Seo Dong-joo and a panicked Yeom Jang-seon thrilled the viewers. But is there another twist in store?
The production team of "Buried Hearts" stated, "In the 15th episode airing on April 11, a shocking conversation between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon immediately following the 14th episode's ending will be revealed. Yeom Jang-seon will explain the reason he killed Heo Il-do (played by Lee Hae-Young) in front of Seo Dong-joo. The reason is so evil and absurd that Seo Dong-joo will be shocked."
Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do have been running toward the same goal for many years. However, after Heo Il-do was compromised in his youth, he has always had to serve as Yeom Jang-seon's loyal subordinate. After the discovery that Heo Il-do and Seo Dong-joo share a father-son relationship, Heo Il-do was the first to go against Yeom Jang-seon. It seems that the thoughts Yeom Jang-seon harbored regarding this will be fully revealed through this conversation.
Subsequently, the production team of "Buried Hearts" remarked, "The reason Yeom Jang-seon killed Heo Il-do will ignite Seo Dong-joo's desire for revenge against Yeom Jang-seon. Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho portrayed the intense character traits and fierce relational dynamics of their characters with impeccable performances. We ask for your continued interest and anticipation."
What is the reason Yeom Jang-seon killed Heo Il-do? How evil can it possibly be that it fuels Seo Dong-joo's desire for revenge even more? The SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Buried Hearts" episode 15 will air on Friday, April 11, at 9:50 p.m., and episode 16 will air on Saturday, April 12, at 9:45 p.m.
