In "Buried Hearts," Park Hyung-sik is shaking viewers' hearts with his compelling performance.
In the SBS drama "Buried Hearts" (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purumir Workshop), Park Hyung-sik intricately portrays the intense turmoil within Seo Dong-joo, firmly anchoring the narrative. His restrained performance, which suppresses emotions, convincingly unravels Seo Dong-joo's emotional line.
Previously, Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik), who lost his memory, recalled only the name "Sung-hyun," which unsettled Cha Deok-hee (played by Kim Jeong-nan) and Gong Bi-seo (played by Seo Kyung-hwa). The person holding the young Seo Dong-joo in a photograph was none other than his biological father, Yeo Soon-ho (played by Joo Sang-wook), and the shocking possibility that Seo Dong-joo and Yeo Eun-nam (played by Hong Hwa-yeon) might be half-siblings plunged him into confusion.
In the 11th episode aired yesterday (28th), Seo Dong-joo's calm yet sharp confrontation with Gong Bi-seo heightened the tension. "I want to dig into what the elders of the Dae-san family did to me one by one," Seo Dong-joo's voice came out coldly, with eyes that struggled to suppress overwhelming resentment, fully conveying the emotional weight he carries and evoking viewers' immersion.
Furthermore, the psychological battle with Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho) was a highlight of the broadcast that day. Seo Dong-joo's chilling provocation, "Right now, the one feeding is Seo Dong-joo, and the number one goldfish receiving the food is Yeom Jang-seon. This seems to be reality. Please wake up, sir," intensified the tension. He then added a warning that evoked a storm, saying, "Enjoy the wine thoroughly. There might come a time when I’ll beg for just one drop on the tip of my tongue," delivering an intense catharsis.
At the end of the episode, Seo Dong-joo faced childhood memories in a hypnotic state, evoking pity and tightening the viewers' hearts. The trauma buried deep within Seo Dong-joo resurfaced vividly, and his tears, stained with fear, suddenly made viewers choke up.
Thus, Park Hyung-sik portrays Seo Dong-joo, caught in the whirlpool of fate, with a performance that balances intensity and pace in every episode. Paying attention to the details of the emotional line, he tightly unfolds Seo Dong-joo's narrative, drawing viewers in. The public's response to Park Hyung-sik continues as he ranks first in the actor brand reputation announced by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute for March 2025, proving that he stands at the center of the passion heating up the home theater.
"Buried Hearts" rushing like a storm, Park Hyung-sik, who is writing another life work within it, continues to raise expectations for the heavy revenge narrative he will unfold.
Meanwhile, the SBS drama "Buried Hearts," featuring Park Hyung-sik, airs every Friday and Saturday night at 9:50 p.m.
