“Buried Hearts” follows the gripping tale of a man who successfully hacks into a hidden political slush fund containing 2 trillion won (approximately $1.4 billion), only to be killed by another man unaware of the hack—thus inadvertently losing the entire fortune. Park Hyung Sik takes on the role of Seo Dong Joo, the head of the Public Affairs team at Daesan Group.

In the previous episode, Daesan Group’s chairman, Cha Kang Cheon (played by Woo Hyun), uncovered the romantic involvement of his granddaughter Yeo Eun Nam (Hong Hwa Yeon) with Seo Dong Joo, despite her arranged marriage with Yum Hee Chul (Kwon Soo Hyun), the nephew of Yum Jang Sun (Heo Joon Ho). Initially prepared to step down from Daesan Group, Seo Dong Joo instead learned of Cha Kang Cheon’s ultimate intention: positioning his illegitimate son, Ji Sun Woo (Cha Woo Min), as the company’s future leader.

The latest stills showcase a tense encounter between Seo Dong Joo and Ji Sun Woo. While Seo Dong Joo’s sharp gaze radiates unwavering determination, Ji Sun Woo counters with an enigmatic, seemingly innocent smile, adding to the suspense.

At the conclusion of Episode 2, Seo Dong Joo endured a vicious assault orchestrated by Yum Jang Sun’s men, leaving him in critical condition. With a significant shift in the storyline on the horizon, viewers eagerly anticipate how Ji Sun Woo’s role will influence Seo Dong Joo’s inevitable retaliation.
