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.

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.

I expect product placement in Korean dramas but usually it is subtle, in this one it breaks the scenes and the actors seem to suddenly be in an advert for kopiko which detracts from the tension.

That aside this is an enjoyable revenge drama where Seo Dong-ju (Park Hyun-sik) is the assistant to a chaebol and has an ill fated relationship with Yeo Eun-nam (Hong Hwa-yeon) a granddaughter in the family. Dong-ju steals a massive political slush fund from Yeom Jang-sun (Huh Joon-ho) and all hell breaks loose with the murderous consequences. It is an enjoyable drama but seems to lose its way a little in later episodes with the plot and pacing. The ending is left open with unresolved plot lines so hopefully there will be a season 2.

This is a masterpiece drama!!!! The casts are perfect especially the main couple! Can't wait to watch all the episodes!! I'm dying to know who Dongju really is and how the ending will be!! Please have a happy ending for Dongju and Eunnam! They deserve happiness! Plus the ost and the instrumental in the drama fits perfectly with every scenes. The emotional scene gives me goosebumps and tears! It's a very unique drama because you rarely get the see these types of genre in K-drama! Very strong intense storyline which makes you dying to know what's gonna happen next! Lol so obsessed with this drama!!! A combination of romance and revenge is my cup of tea lol It's indeed one of best Kdrama so far!!! Fighting Buried Hearts!

This is the first drama I've ever watched where I've been so hooked that I've eagerly waited each week for the next episode. It's such an exciting and thrilling ride that I can't get enough of it... like, seriously, it's so good, it's almost addictive. I've never experienced anything like this before! The plot, the characters, the twists - it all comes together so perfectly that I just have to talk about it all the time. In fact, I was so passionate about it that I ended up creating an IMDb account just so I could rate it and share my thoughts with others. I really wanted to make sure more people discover this masterpiece, because it deserves all the attention it can get. I can't wait to see where this drama goes, and I'm already thinking about watching it again once it's over. It's just that amazing.
