The deep and solid emotional acting of Park Hyung-sik in 'Buried Hearts' has taken the home theater by storm.
The story of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Buried Hearts' (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purumi Craft Studio) is reaching its peak. In the middle of this narrative, Park Hyung-sik has faced threats of death multiple times, being pushed to the edge of a cliff, yet he does not crumble and fills Seo Dong-joo's character with a dense emotional spectrum, firmly leading the narrative.
Earlier in the 13th episode, Seo Dong-joo faced the cruel twist of fate where the target of her vengeance turned out to be a blood relative. The realization that her biological father was Heo Il-do (played by Lee Hae-young), who had been trying to kill her all along, shook Seo Dong-joo to her core. Eventually, Seo Dong-joo had to face the muzzle of her biological father's gun once again. "I'm not dead yet. Shoot me quickly, Father," Seo Dong-joo taunted with a crazed smile and a mix of sarcasm that left the viewers breathless.
However, Seo Dong-joo's vengeance and anger towards Heo Il-do soon turned into a sense of disillusionment. Facing the haggard Heo Il-do, she mocked, "Is this the best you could come up with, to pretend to be virtuous?" But beneath that, a bitter sadness permeated. The light in Seo Dong-joo's eyes, swaying between hatred and pity, forced her to confront the ties of blood entangled under the name of vengeance. To confront the villain Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho), who shattered her life, Seo Dong-joo joined hands with her father, Heo Il-do.
However, this alliance did not last long. In the 14th episode aired yesterday (5th), Heo Il-do found himself at a crossroads between life and death after being attacked by Jo Yang-chun (played by Kim Gi-mu) at the behest of Yeom Jang-seon. Holding the hand of her father, whose life was fading away before her eyes, Seo Dong-joo's plea to please open his eyes moved the viewers' hearts.
Through 'Buried Hearts,' Park Hyung-sik showcases a wide emotional spectrum that fluidly moves between anger, despair, emptiness, and sadness, delicately portraying the trajectory of the Seo Dong-joo character. The fine trembling in his facial muscles allows him to intricately weave the emotional nuances, reaffirming his true talent as the 'master of emotional cadence.' By adding depth to the Seo Dong-joo character, Park Hyung-sik's intense performance has thrilled the home theater, receiving an outpouring of praise from the audience.
'Buried Hearts' now has only two episodes left. Viewers can hardly wait to see how Park Hyung-sik will depict Seo Dong-joo's path toward the tumultuous conclusion.
Meanwhile, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Buried Hearts,' featuring Park Hyung-sik, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
