“Park hyung-sik looking good”- Fans excited as Buried Hearts releases second trailer

SBS has unveiled a new teaser for its upcoming drama Buried Hearts, which is set to premiere on February 21 at 10 p.m. KST, taking over the time slot currently held by Love Scout. The drama follows the gripping story of a man who successfully hacks into a secret political slush fund account containing 2 trillion won (approximately $1.4 billion).

The latest teaser of Buried Hearts begins with Seo Dong-joo, played by Park Hyung-sik, battered and defeated, kneeling before Yeom Jang-seon (Huh Joon-ho), desperately begging for his life and pleading not to be killed. As he reflects on his past, he recalls the confidence he once had in love, ambition, and success, believing he could excel in everything.

At the same time, Yeom Jang-seon discusses the growing threat of Seo Dong-joo with Heo Il-do, played by Lee Hae-young, who firmly assures him that he will take care of the problem. Determined to remove any danger, Yeom Jang-seon orders someone to track down Seo Dong-joo immediately and eliminate him at all costs.

Now stripped of everything because of Yeom Jang-seon, Seo Dong-joo sets out on a relentless quest for revenge. The teaser ends with him delivering a chilling threat, asking if they had ever considered the possibility that he might be the one to kill them instead.

On the other hand, Yeom Jang-seon, a former director of the National Intelligence Service and a law school professor, wields immense political influence in South Korea.
