Buried Hearts

Koreans are really good at doing revenge dramas. The Glory is a fantastic example but this one is very good too. The story of Seo Dongju a man with a fantastic visual memory navigates the dangerous tides of a chaebol family (conglomerate) while trying to save the woman he loves.

This intertwine with bad guys trying to eliminate him as he has in his memory the password for a secret fund worth 2 trillion Won.

The intrigue goes vertical, from the notion of society all the way to the Blue House (The Presidency).

Park Hyun Chik dazzles in this drama. I usually swoon over him when he's doing romance but here, he proves he can do a different genre with gusto.

Really worth watching.

Episodes 1 to 6 are a solid 9 stars; it feels like smooth sailing. However, there's a sudden shift starting from episode 7 through to the finale. The script becomes messy, and you can definitely feel the change. After watching the ending, I understood that they are planning to set up for a season 2. The reason I rate it 5 stars overall is that I don't like how they structured season 1 just to justify a season 2. Starting from episode 7, you can notice the deliberate prolonging of situations that don't make sense. The production team and scriptwriters didn't seem to bother adding anything to make it feel less forced, resulting in a messy, boring, and disappointing experience. 5 stars is only for the consideration of amazing acting of the cast.

Watched Buried Hearts for Hyung Sik. And continued watching only for Hyung Sik. He was beyond brilliant as Seo Dong Ju. Acting, Looks, expressions - PHS nailed the role. I wish he does more shows like this where he can showcase his acting talent.

The show could have been better. Story could have been better. Strong premise but went flat after a few episodes. Some plot lines I really wonder what the writers were even thinking.

The female lead wasn't great. She seemed to have just one or two expressions throughout.

Everyone interprets the ending in their own way. I wasn't happy about it, but looking at the way the story went, it kind of makes sense.

Park Hyung Sik carried the show. He redeemed himself from Doctor Slump.

"Buried Hearts" grabbed me and forced me to binge. Some twists made me grimace and ask myself What? Why?

I was captivated by Park Hyung Shik's stunning performance. The other actors, despite questionable twists, turns, or dead ends, were superb.

The dialogue was excellent, the production lovely, and the OST well done. Action, drama, and comedic moments are well blended.

I would have liked more fire from Eunmam as she grows, and more about her business skills as well.

However, PHS rules. The character is complex, lethal, humane, focused, and caring. Amazing work.

I recommend Buried Hearts- not perfect, but pretty darn close.

"Buried Hearts" is one of the best Kdrama that needs watching.
