Review

“Buried Hearts” Season 1 launches with a slow but tantalizing burn, setting the stage for a revenge saga that promises both emotional depth and high-stakes drama. Park Hyung-sik shines as Seo Dong-ju, delivering a nuanced performance that transitions seamlessly from loyal subordinate to a man consumed by betrayal and ambition. His chemistry with Huh Joon-ho’s menacing Yeom Jang-seon crackles with tension, even in their limited early encounters, hinting at an epic clash to come. The plot, while familiar to fans of revenge K-dramas, is elevated by sharp writing and meticulous cinematography—moody lighting and striking contrasts amplify the stakes of every power play.
