Many also pointed out the lack of screen time for the female protagonist, Hong Hwa-yeon, who plays the character Yeon Eun-nam. Additionally, since many of the initial episodes started off with many romance-related scenes, people were also disappointed to see the same disappear as Buried Hearts took shape into a show with thriller and mystery genres.
However, fans soon came to the show's defense and explained that they'd been enjoying the show. They expressed that if viewers put aside their bias to a romance-related plotline, they too would enjoy watching Buried Hearts. Therefore, there's been a back-and-forth regarding the reviews of the K-drama series as it nears its end. Here are a few reactions regarding the same:
"I am sorry but #BuriedHearts is getting repetitive and boring with the murder attempt on DongJu in every episode & barely any scenes of Eunnam," a user wrote on X.
"Eunnam with no screen time, Dongju surviving death in every episode, no need for a preview, I already know what will happen in the next episode, it's becoming repetitive," said a fan on X.
"burried hearts is stressing me out so bad like girl what the f**k is this mess," added another fan.
"I don't like that they didn't explore other characters and give them more depth. The focus on the main character and his antagonists is tiring abeg," commented a netizen.
On the other hand, fans and netizens talked about how they've been growing to like the K-drama series, contrary to the other viewers.
"The plot was never romance!!! Romance was more like the prologue" stated a fan.
"People watching #BuriedHearts for the romance solely are really draining my energy !!! Did yall not know that romance wasn’t even the main plot when u started it ?? Bcz it’s getting annoying !!" added an X user
"This drama genre isn’t romance and you people will learn to deal with it," said a netizen.
"Then don’t watch it. We over here enjoying it to its fullest," commented another X user.
