Buried Hearts

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!

Seo Dong Ju (ML) is the standout character in this drama. Have you seen the pictures of him? Just look at the impeccable hair on this man's head, with each strand perfectly styled for every scene. You watch this show solely for him alone in his pursuit for revenge, while opposing forces attempt to uncover the secret code to a 2 trillion won political slush fund stored in his head.

Yeom Jang Seon, primary old man antagonist to our main lead, does a remarkable job of making you hate him every episode. What's worse is his hair is crazy too!

Female lead? Fuhgeddaboudit. This show's major flaw is the minimal role that Yeo Eun Nam plays in the overall narrative. The promotional images led me to disappointment. The initial episodes are the strongest because both the ML and FL are in it together, but as the drama progresses, FL just ... drops out of the picture.

The final quarter of the show features some messy writing. Things are wrapping up but the drama appears to set up for a potential second season, which may or may not happen. This leads to some unusual and unexpected character shifts in hope of securing another season.

"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.

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.

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.
