A Dark Political Thriller You Don’t Want to Miss
If you’re into high-stakes drama, power struggles, and morally gray characters, Buried Hearts is about to become your next obsession. Premiering February 21 on Disney+, this political revenge thriller dives deep into corruption, embezzlement, and the desperate lengths people will go to for power.
Set against the backdrop of Korea’s corporate elite, the story follows Seo Dongju, an ambitious executive at the powerful Daesan Group, who sees an ongoing government investigation as the perfect opportunity to rise through the ranks. With two trillion won of missing government funding, a scandal looms large, threatening to expose Daesan’s corruption. But Seo Dongju is no hero—he’s ready to bribe, blackmail, and manipulate his way to the top.
A Star-Studded Cast Brings the Story to Life
With Park Hyungsik (Soundtrack #1, Suits, Happiness) leading as Seo Dongju, the series promises an intense and gripping performance. He’s joined by Huh Joonho (Bloodhounds, Why Her) as Yeom Jangseon, a powerbroker with his own hidden agenda, and Lee Haeyoung (Vigilante, Bloodhounds) as Huh Ildo, a key player in this high-stakes battle. Meanwhile, Hong Hwayeon (True to Love, Mental Coach Jegal) takes on the role of Yeo Eunnam, adding another layer of intrigue to the series.
Buried Hearts comes from the minds of writer Lee Myeonghee (Money Flower, Jang Yeongsil) and director Jin Changkyoo (Military Prosecutor Doberman, Bad Papa), ensuring a tightly woven narrative filled with suspense, betrayals, and mind games.
