A Story of Power, Greed, and Revenge
At its core, “Buried Hearts” is a battle between two men whose fates collide over an unimaginable amount of money.
Seo Dong Joo (Park Hyung Sik) is a brilliant yet desperate man who hacks into a 2 trillion won slush fund, thinking it will change his life. But things spiral out of control when…
Yum Jang Sun (Heo Joon Ho), a former NIS chief who wields enormous power, unknowingly commits murder, believing the money is still there. When he realizes it’s gone, all hell breaks loose.
Now, both men are locked in a high-stakes battle, one seeking revenge, the other determined to reclaim his lost fortune and power.
Sounds like a wild ride, right? The teaser hints at dark, suspenseful storytelling, making this one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2025.
