Buried Hearts Drama Episode 3 Twist: Park Hyung-sik’s Shocking Hack & Revenge
Park Hyung-sik is set to take on an intense mission—hacking into a massive 2-trillion-won political slush fund.
The SBS Friday-Saturday drama Buried Hearts (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu, produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, and Purmir Workshop) will air its highly anticipated episodes today (February 28). The episodes will introduce the ambitious and confident protagonist, Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik), who believes he has everything under control—both in love and his career—until his world is turned upside down.
Seo Dong-joo was deeply in love with his girlfriend, Yeo Eun-nam (played by Hong Hwa-yeon), even considering marriage. However, he was unaware that she was actually the granddaughter of the powerful Dae-san family. In a shocking betrayal, Eun-nam abandoned him and entered a politically motivated arranged marriage with Yom Hee-cheol (played by Kwon Soo-hyun), the nephew of the shadowy power broker Yom Jang-seon (played by Heo Joon-ho). Before Dong-joo could even recover from the heartbreak, he was ambushed on Yom Jang-seon’s orders and left bleeding profusely, teetering on the brink of death.
Now, in episode 3, set to air tonight, Seo Dong-joo is expected to launch his long-awaited counterattack. Ahead of the broadcast, the production team has teased a major turning point in the story—one that viewers cannot afford to miss. The much-talked-about “2-trillion-won political slush fund hacking incident” will take place in this episode, marking the beginning of Seo Dong-joo’s all-or-nothing quest for revenge. The drama promises even more gripping and high-intensity developments compared to the first two episodes.
Despite barely escaping death, Seo Dong-joo refuses to go into hiding. Instead, he takes a bold step forward and confronts Yom Jang-seon directly. The two men, each driven by their own ambitions, engage in a fierce psychological battle, neither willing to back down. It is during this confrontation that Seo Dong-joo executes the hacking operation on the enormous political slush fund. The burning question remains—how will Yom Jang-seon react to this daring move? And how will this act of defiance shape their escalating conflict? Viewers are eagerly awaiting episode 3 to uncover the answers.
Another key highlight is the electrifying on-screen chemistry between Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho. Their brief encounter in episode 2 was enough to captivate audiences, and as their characters now enter a full-fledged battle of wits and power, the tension is expected to soar to new heights. With an upgraded scale of storytelling and action sequences, episodes 3 and 4 of Buried Hearts promise to deliver the essence of a blockbuster revenge thriller, according to the production team.
Meanwhile, episode 3 of SBS’s Buried Hearts will air tonight, Friday, February 28, at 9:50 PM KST.
