• Park Hyung Sik watches his sister ‘die’ right before his eyes — SBS’s "Buried Hearts" breaks records with skyrocketing ratings

    SBS’s Buried Hearts is on fire! The drama has once again shattered its own viewership record, proving its immense popularity.

    According to Nielsen Korea on March 9, the 6th episode of Buried Hearts, which aired on March 8, hit an all-time high of 11.2% nationwide, marking a 3% jump from the previous episode.

    The drama is now officially the No.1 show in its time slot across all channels and the most-watched Saturday and weekly mini-series.

    In the metropolitan area, it recorded 11% ratings, peaking at 12.3%, while the 2049 viewership rating (ages 20-49) reached 2.9%, solidifying its massive popularity.

    In this episode, Seo Dong-joo (Park Hyung Sik), Yeom Jang-seon (Heo Joon-ho), and Heo Il-do (Lee Hae-young) clashed in a high-stakes battle of greed and deception. Yeom Jang-seon’s merciless nature was on full display as he didn’t hesitate to take lives, leaving Seo Dong-joo completely shaken.

    Previously, Yeom Jang-seon suspected Seo Dong-joo was faking amnesia and abducted him for brutal torture, hoping to extract the password to a 2 trillion won hacked account. Despite facing unbearable pain, Seo Dong-joo remained silent, making it seem like he had truly lost his memory. Realizing this, Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do changed their approach, with Heo Il-do ultimately stepping in to “rescue” him.

    Feigning concern, Yeom Jang-seon embraced a battered Seo Dong-joo, while Seo Dong-joo thanked both men for saving him—but was he really grateful, or was he playing along? With uncertainty surrounding his memory, Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do continued to test him carefully.

    As tensions rose, Heo Il-do pressured Yeom Jang-seon, demanding half of the 2 trillion won slush fund, warning, “You could lose everything, so it’s better to give up half.” His sudden boldness left Yeom Jang-seon uneasy.

    At the same time, Seo Dong-joo also seemed to test Heo Il-do, possibly hinting at a hidden agenda. Late at night, he wandered into Heo Il-do’s private training area, provoking him with a chilling question:
    “Did you shoot at me to kill me, CEO?”

    Feeling cornered, Yeom Jang-seon decided to force Seo Dong-joo’s memory to return using a shocking, unforgivable method—killing his sister.

    In a devastating scene, Yeom Jang-seon orchestrated the murder of Seo Dong-joo’s sister, Sister Agnes (Han Ji-hye), right before his eyes. As he watched his beloved sister die in a tragic car accident, memories flooded back into his mind, hinting that his memory loss might have been broken.

    The episode ended with Seo Dong-joo in shock, while Yeom Jang-seon smirked and declared:
    "If your memory disappeared due to shock, I’ll bring it back with an even bigger shock!"

    With Seo Dong-joo’s rage and pain reaching their peak, viewers are now eagerly anticipating his full-fledged retaliation against Yeom Jang-seon.

    The gripping performances and intense storytelling have fans on the edge of their seats, waiting to see how Seo Dong-joo will strike back.

    Buried Hearts airs every Friday at 10 PM and Saturday at 9:50 PM KST. Don’t miss out.
