More about Park Hyung-sik's ongoing SBS thriller series Buried Hearts
Buried Hearts kicks off with the introduction of Seo Dong-ju (portrayed by Park Hyung-sik), the head of the Public Affairs team for Daesan Group's chairperson. Dong-ju is a man of honor and is the human embodiment of loyalty. This also earned him the moniker "Daesan Man" for his undivided loyalty towards the company.
However, behind this facade, Dong-ju has a hidden agenda of ascending to the throne of the company, which is owned by his own father. Since Dong-ju is the Chairman's illegitimate son, his succession to the seat of power was difficult.
A pivotal moment arises when Seo Dong-ju successfully infiltrates a clandestine political slush fund, unearthing a staggering 2 trillion won (approximately $1.4 billion). This audacious act sets off a chain reaction, drawing the attention of Yeom Jang-sun (played by Huh Joon-ho), a law professor and former director of the National Intelligence Service.
Renowned as a puppet master in South Korea's political arena, Yeom Jang-sun thrives on manipulating power dynamics to his advantage.
Unbeknownst to him, Yeom Jang-sun inadvertently eliminates an individual, resulting in the unforeseen loss of the entire slush fund. This blunder propels him into a relentless quest to reclaim his lost fortune and restore his dominion.
The ensuing narrative intricately weaves the lives of Seo Dong-ju and Yeom Jang-sun, as they engage in a high-stakes battle replete with deception, strategic maneuvering, and unforeseen alliances.
Buried Hearts will air episode 3 and 4 on February 28 and March 1, 2025, on SBS.
