HoneyB Nov 21 2025 2:14 am F! What kind of ending is this? 16 episodes all dragging towards the end.

Rbsmoky Aug 21 2025 3:32 pm What's happening here ? Seriously tae-yoon finally end like this ?!!

A.S. Jun 03 2025 10:16 am At first, I felt that the ending was unsatisfying and that it needed a Season 2, because I felt like the story had just reached its climax when Taeyoon was killed by his uncle. I was so angry… I told myself, “Why would the writer end it like this? The ending should’ve been more comforting.”

But then I watched the epilogue at the end, and that’s when I felt, “Oh… maybe there really doesn’t need to be a Season 2 after all.” Because when I thought back to the title of the drama, "Buried Hearts", I realized this is exactly what the writer wanted to convey to the audience: that all the characters in this story ended up with their hearts buried in some way. All of it stemmed from greed for power and jelousy.

I think the ending is fitting. It feels open-ended, but that’s exactly the point. Every action has its consequence and not every ending is meant to be a happy ending.

AJ Jun 03 2025 9:53 am Nice series. But there should be a season 2 to uncover the death of Taeyun, seriously.

Lara May 29 2025 9:48 am I love Park Hyung Sik's acting but Im sorry, this drama sucks. Its so boring, the problem is not solved clearly, and the ending is weird, personally I dont think they need 16 episodes, it can be wrapped jn 10 eps actually. My advice, dont waste your time watching this.

Erika May 24 2025 11:51 pm Hyung-Sik looked like a greek god in this. I constantly fanned myself.

I think this was a high level drama. Yea there some repetitive tropes used throughout but I thought it still kept my interest despite falling to the common pitfalls of these revenge dramas.

My biggest complaint comes from the freak within me. I know we like kdramas for their modesty but at a certain point, we have crossed over into the mainstream. No, I don't need to see huffing and panting and excess nudity, but you've got to stop putting these beautiful people together on screen and then giving of 5 total minutes of g-rated romance!

A+ for an ending kiss verses those ridiculous toddler hugs, or worse, blank stares between the leads, but still, I was hoping for a much more passionate reunion.

Here's looking at you, season 2. Let's run it back and take down the evil stepmother and her spawn.

Cheryl May 14 2025 6:38 pm SPOILERS! This drama could have been better. It has a very talented cast but I felt the writer chose action scenes over character relationships, which given the amount of characters, some didn't even seem necessary as they had such limited screen time. Park Hyung-sik did a good job with Dong-ju but the relationship between him and Hong Hwa-Yeon went no where. The first episode ending at her surprise wedding gave me the impression that she was going to be a stronger presence in the series and for taking such a bold action, her character went no where nor did her marriage to Dong-ju's childhood enemy make sense. There are only so many murder attempts that I wanted to watch, and it became boring. There are some great scenes and good episodes, the story is good at times, and I have no regrets watching it but it didn't live up to my early expectations. I know a lot of people hated the ending but I think the writer remained consistent to their storyline, that the family was terrible, revenge is empty and comes with a price. Also a big price was paid by the offspring of a major character, a kind of karma that hurts. Was it worth the watch? I probably wouldn't have watched it if I know now what I didn't know then but no real regrets

Amateur reviewer May 14 2025 12:32 am Early episodes are boring, ending episode is sucks. So many plot hole. Gosh I regret watching this drama

Devina Apr 23 2025 12:05 pm Does the writer-nim read this?If you do, you know the ending sucks. Fix it on S2.

Yungaik Noona Apr 21 2025 7:29 pm I love hyung sik long hair. He looks manly & his acting is the best

Minnie04 Apr 21 2025 1:23 am Dang, I need my 16 hours back. The biggest drama flop ever. It was bad from mid to end , and even park Hyung sik can’t save this drama . Epic failed .

Alexandra Apr 18 2025 11:04 pm first episode is boring, if i havent read reviews here i wont continue but good thing, its really a masterpiece for me

Noni Apr 18 2025 5:06 pm As far as endings go, I wish I could physically hold this one, beat it to a pulp, and set it on fire. There is nothing worse than investing time into a drama and its characters and having it drag out like this only to have such a deeply pathetic ending. I'll make a note never to watch anything from this writer or director ever again. The only thing soothing my anger is the fact that I skipped through most of it and skipped a few episodes. If I had actually sat through every minute of this I'd be finding the writer and director online to curse them out for such rubbish.

Don't be fooled by the first 4 episodes. This drama is complete trash.

Park Hyun Sik Apr 18 2025 4:45 am Actually, I was interested in this drama when I saw some of scene cut when YEN beat the crap of her husband. I watched first episode, feels bored and like I couldn't catch up with the story but I forced myself to continue until I reach the episode with the scenes that made me interest in the first place. I lost count which episode made me realize that this drama actually stupid, characters also stupid and frustrate me with how their mind work in the show, I mean I wouldn't surprise if they all ended up dead, they all so stupid. Especially the villain, writer-nim, too many logical plot hole and skipped important detail. I understand the high rating because it make you curious what will happen next, but this drama JUST STUPID. The writing scenario didn't worth the scale or scope of the conflict in the drama.

Jillibean Apr 15 2025 12:42 am Wow glad I missed this one. I watched the first episode and was bored / confused so never went back. Love the actor but my top favorite work of his will probably always be Soundtrack #1.

Yeom Jang Sun Apr 14 2025 1:18 pm (SPOILERS) Almost Perfect 9/10. I expect Seo Dong Ju shot himself in the end but we have useless throwback instead. I love that Seon U clear his path to be the President of Daesan Group. He is so cool, he literally pave his own way.. I understand Seonu,, I mean Huh Tae Hyun is a weak son from killer parent so he deserve that ending for the better of Daesan future.. Huh bloodline must be vanished hence why the ending almost perfect (I just assume SDJ suicide in the end). Yeom Jang Sun,, with his NIS background, I hope he can get away from prison. SDJ help him to grow some hair and got some nice haircut (but I expect some brocolli fluffy hair, however he did some mewing so it kinda help a bit).. He also rewarded with one kg of gold, nice kindergarten, and Seon U which mean Yeom finally realize his dream to have full controll of Daesan! And uh.. Hui Cheol finally succesfully run his own firm, I hope him the best with Eun Nam... He is caring Eun Nam and they should've become a tremendous couple after SDJ anounced dead. Cant wait for season 2 where we fully ditch dementia Cha and have Seonu full control of Daesan with Yeom as mastermind backed by the President of South Korea!! It will be an amazing company,, If seo dong ju alive,, well okay then I also sometimes thinking about sleeping with my step sister!! It's a step with some spice of incest. I understand the writer-nim,, please oppa just do whatever you want...

Maria Errica Lim Apr 14 2025 9:36 am Spoilers! A finale that not all viewers would love to end. But in my viewpoint, Buried Hearts is still the best Korean Drama that Park Hyung Sik has played on. Far from the "butterflies on stomach - feels", far from the usual rags to CEO riches glamour, far from the happy - ever after epilogue. It closes on an open ended scene that makes its viewers think about what will happen and why does it suddenly happened which is not expected at all. At my subconscious Kdrama mind, I was crying out for a season 2, but a part of me tells me so that since this is a far cry from the stigma of the revenge stories, maybe there will never be a season 2 of this (But, I am still keeping my hopes high)

The thing is, Seo Dong Ju got his revenge and had chosen a path to leave everything behind at Daesan. It was his sole dream to have Daesan group in his hands and it ended well right on top of his palm and if he opted to play the cards well on his favor, he could do whatever he wants but his good nature toppled over his ambition and greed.

The hunger for power to lead Daesan never left the people behind it, the greed grew more and stemmed from a once mild-natured tiny bud into a monstrous thorn, stabbing the innocent one from the back. It was never expected, having caught a glimpse of a tender moment between the two young lads and suddenly it ended grimly. Good will always triumph over evil but it ended for the two on a different note.

Buried Hearts has never been a romantic drama, I agree to some fellow who thinks there was no chemistry between the Eunnam and Dong Ju at all. Maybe it was really planned that way, to cast someone without a striking chemistry with PHS so as not to redirect the plot to a romance story and just focus on the essence of revenge. It was shown that the love between the two characters was still there but they made their choices, with Dong Ju fulfilling his journey to the sea and at the same time fulfilled what his father wished and Eunnam hoping for him to come back.

One could never imagine losing a child that has been his mother's whole world. Cha Duk Hee's pain is unimaginable, truly unfathomable.

Cha Kuk Hee seem to got what she truly wished for, but seems to lack confidence and strength to contain the power she got.

Dementia has taken over the chairman and the new matriarch seems overwhelmed with the power she and her son has acquired.

With his perfect memorization skills, Seo Dong Ju will be haunted by the painful events of his life as long as his mind is perfectly working. It will be a struggle to bury his pain in his heart as long as he remembers.

waeyo Apr 13 2025 10:49 am so there will be Season 2?

Anko Apr 12 2025 10:35 pm The whole series was amazing, but what was that ending??? They could’ve done so much better. Need a season 2, or at least one episode to explain what just happened!

Brina Apr 12 2025 6:05 pm I don't understand all the negative reactions to the ending. Of course, we wanted DJ to rebuild his life, but after all the physical and psychological torture he endured, it's unrealistic to expect him to bounce back overnight. Let's not forget his initial drive to climb the corporate ladder was to gain his supposed father Mr. Seo's love. It later became a survival struggle and ultimately a personal vendetta. Realistically, emotional scars can last for years, and it's normal for DJ to question his purpose after going through so much pain. For anyone, taking a step back to reevaluate their future (likely with the woman they love) is a healthy response. I'm fine with this ending being open to interpretation. As for Taeyun's fate... I think they used that to gauge interest in a potential season 2.

Zendy Apr 12 2025 11:39 am wtf ending, so bad !!!

Prisca Apr 12 2025 11:04 am Please the director should come and explain ending for us, this is nonsense

Paradora Apr 12 2025 10:38 am I was excited for "Buried Hearts," but the ending completely ruined it for me. After an engaging build-up, the resolution felt rushed and unsatisfying. Making the journey feel pointless. Such a disappointment after investing time in the characters and story.

Favour Apr 11 2025 4:08 pm I have never loved or watched any Korean movie but you see this is beyond imagination I love it ! I which I can live in Korea all my life I love this am trying to watch EP 16 but is not working can't wait for other season

Nabi Apr 08 2025 12:24 pm I bet Secretary Gong is Deok-Hi's mother. What else could explain their weird relationship?

This drama is very predictable but it's an okay watch. It's definitely a standard Korean drama with conglomerate game of thrones, murder plots, business marriage with unrequited love, and good ole amnesia! LOL. This one was made for a typical Korean audience. Don't have your expectations too high when you watch.

Yeom Dong Ju Apr 07 2025 7:38 am Halmoniss, you missed episodes 11 and 12; you should watch them.

Anyways (Spoilers) ...

Dandelion unveiled that a long, long time ago, the NIS switched Secretary Gong's daughter. So Cha's real daughter was actually Dong Ju's real mom, who had been with the guy who Dong Ju thought was his father, but who was killed by Eun Nam's father-in-law, who turned out to be Dong Ju's dad (Ill Do). So technically, Dong Ju's mom was actually the real Cha daughter, and Dong Ju's dad thought that Eun Nam's dad tried to steal his girlfriend, so he decided to kill them both. With control of Yeom, he wanted to marry the descendant of the Daesan Group daepyonim, but it turned out she was actually not the descendant (they switched Secretary Gong's baby), so Eun Nam and Tae Yoon do not have the bloodline of Cha. The same thing happened with Yeong Su, who is Seon Wu's mom, who married Cha, but actually, the closeness of Yeong Su with Yeom might suggest that Yeom is the real dad of Seon Wu. So Yeom tried to kill all of the Cha bloodline and leave his son to be the future of Daesan. The correct descendant is: Cha married Secretary Gong; their daughter is Cha Gyeung Won. Cha Gyeung Won had a baby with Huh Ill Do—Huh Dong Ju—who is the only one left now for the future of Daesan.

KdramaHalmoni Apr 06 2025 6:16 pm To all kdrama halmonis (been a fan of kdrama for 20+ years), this drama is a no for me. This could have been 8 episodes long but disney decided to prolong it to 16. Whew! Also very cliché plot: amnesia, lost relative, revenge, revenge conclusion. That ending is sooo predictable, I thought Dongju would have more creative ideas. I skipped 11 and 12 but still understood 12 and 14 without feeling that i've missed any episode.

I wouldn't say boring plot, but just cliché. Park Hyun Sik carried this whole drama.

6/10 for me.

SerialKdramaWatcher Apr 06 2025 7:58 am Episodes Completed: 14/16

Plot started off well and greating acting from Park Hyung Sik in general. Aside from that, it is the usual general mixture of makjang and revenge drama cliches. Feels way too draggy for 16 episodes. Main FL has almost no purpose except for signaling the start of a new arc in the storyline. The main antagonist, Yeom, just feels so ridiculously polarizing between ruthless and soft that I cannot decide on what kind of character he is suppose to be. There is still potential for it to wrap up decently with a satisfying revenge on Yeom to make up for the drag.

Donald J. Trump Apr 06 2025 3:59 am @Nimi Main Having main lead alive is already a win for Huh Seung Hyeon. If I was Yeom Jang-Sun I already killed Seung Hyeon on the first episode

wnnny Apr 05 2025 8:53 pm In episode 14, Yeo Eun-Nam tells Seo Dongju that he always comes before anyone else is pathetic. If so, she won't marry Yeo Hui-Cheol in the first place. It would be ridiculous if Seo Dongju really believed her!!!!

In my opinion, the storyline appears/seems not to be progressing dynamically.

Errica Lim Apr 05 2025 7:19 pm The best ever Korean series of Park Hyung Sik! Awesome story and amazing plot twists. Fast tracked and never had a dull moment while watching this. Well crafted, writer Lee Myung Hee, you had whipped a story that stirs up viewers as though you connect with what we thought and what we wished should come after, right then, just after watching each episode. On the 14th episode now, and it's getting even hotter than summer. Good conquers all evil, Mr. Yeom will soon be over.

Jillibean Apr 05 2025 6:20 pm I watched the first episode but was confused about what was going on. Can someone explain it to me?

waeyo Apr 05 2025 6:52 am My guess is if Ildo dies this will fuel Dongju to get Daesan or make Daesan fall or crumble and I think Seonu will be a villain.

Lamp Apr 04 2025 11:21 pm actor Il-Do has acted in lots of movies and series . You can check out Unmasked , The Glory , Bloodhounds , The Whirlwind and many others

His chemistry with Dong ju as sworn enemies and later is really insane .

Kim Apr 04 2025 2:34 pm This drama...aigoo,just hurry end already. I really suggest you to wait until it end and then watch it if you haven't start it. Every ending I feel like to scream. Aigoo!

BTW, I haven't seen that senior actor Il-Do ever before. This is my 1st time. Wow,great actor. Love when it's Il-Do & Dong Ju's intense scene. Both act with their eyes...phew, daebak!

As for Hyung Sik, I already known him and become a fan for a very long time. I noticed his good look right away and already noticed his talent from beginning. But this acting...this is best of the best so far.

Lynn Serra Apr 02 2025 2:05 pm Marvelous series. Park Hyung sik is absolutely amazing!! His performance was flawless. He became Seo dong ju. Can’t wait for last episodes. One of the best revenge dramas I’ve seen since Itaewon Class.

Daddy Somali Apr 01 2025 8:37 am So his biological dad killing his dad which turn out actually his gf's dad that used to be the daughter of his biological dad.

Emmanuel Apr 01 2025 7:38 am Wow I love this series and I can’t wait for the other episodes aww !

Jinn Mar 30 2025 8:02 pm After watching episode 12, I can't help but wonder if Dungjo knew about Yeongsu and Seonu's connection with Yeom. Hmm! And what if the wedding was all just a fake? Maybe, since we didn't actually see the ceremony, it's possible that Wonbae is the one who officiates it! Hahaha, that would be hilarious. Can't wait for next week episodes.

Hildagarde Hulley Mar 30 2025 3:00 pm Love this series. I am a big Park Hyung-sik fan. Seriously hope he gets out on top. Can't wait for the next episode.

Love Mar 29 2025 3:38 pm Park Hyung Sik is crazy good in this drama and crazy super duper good looking too.

I haven't watch this type of drama for a very long time. This type is kinda old fashion drama, I would say. Plot twist,lost child,lost memory... I kinda miss this genre so I am pretty excited got the chance to watch this type of genre again. And what make the drama even better is when the actors play the characters so well.

I wish it just 12 episodes because I can't wait to see the ending. Or maybe I should just wait until it end then I watch it marathon. But another 4 episodes to go so I just go with it.

Wonder if it's happy ending because this type usually don't have a great ending. Aigoo, writer nim, you better don't make me piss, jinjja.

DineBell Mar 29 2025 12:10 pm Woooh! What a plot twist!

Kimsoonhyunwife Mar 29 2025 11:41 am Omg ! am really scared right now I just pray so dongju is not huh lldo's legitimate son oh also pray cha seoun doesn't plot with me yeom

wnnny Mar 28 2025 11:55 pm I hope the storyline is not about Yeo Eun-Nam being Huh Ildo's legitimate daughter. Therefore, the ending of the drama will be Yeo Eun-nam and Seo Dongju together!

I hope the ending of the drama is Seo Dongju taking over the Daesan Group wholly.

Errica Lim Mar 28 2025 5:37 pm Flashing back the tragic past uncovered mysteries hidden beneath the power struggle and treacherous schemes. It was revealed that at the time of the car accident, Huh Ildo found out the DNA of Seonghyeon and Yeo Sun Ho matched, that made him decide to push through on killing the passengers. I had a feeling that, Ildo was not really a bad guy from the start. He was just manipulated by the evil Mr. Yeom. And on that twist of events, Mr. Yeom fabricated the DNA test to fire up Ildo's fury and to proceed on the killing, later on becoming the Daesan group son-in-law.

I'm still on point with my views that Huh Ildo is the biological father of Seo Dongju. With Mr. Yeom saying that the son is better than the father and what a waste to end Dong Ju's life. Mr Yeom holds the key to the truth behind all of Dong Ju's miseries.

Jinn Mar 27 2025 11:40 am @tseng31 I highly doubt the Korean government would permit incest in kdramas. Once the dandelion files revealed, we will discover Seo Dong Ju identity.

Franz Mar 26 2025 3:50 am My theory: Seo Dong Ju is the son of deceased Yeo Sun Ho with another woman ( working in the bar) before Marriage. While Yeo Eun-Nam is the daughter of Hu II- Do and Cha Duk-Hee affair during marriage with Yeo Sun Ho. In Cha Duk- Hee desire to be the only heir of Daesan, she killed Yeo Sun Ho through a Car Accident. Seo Dong Ju fortunately escaped from accident and was found wandering in the streets.

Cha Duk-Hee is the illegitimate daughter of Secretary Kong. She was adopted by the Chairman Cha. Maybe?

Tseng3l Mar 24 2025 1:35 am Agghhh tf just happened. Brother and sister with same blood. This shit is getting so nasty lmfao

Cha Dong Nam Mar 23 2025 8:51 pm So much theory, I'll just ship the incest xD

Chakkanim Mar 23 2025 12:19 pm Another theory suggests that Seo Dong Ju was the son of Heo Jun Jo and Eun Nam. This theory also posits that Chairman Cha is Seo Dong Ju's eldest brother because Heo Jun Jo with his first wives Secretary Gong. Since Seo Dong Ju is still experiencing amnesia (he is suffering since first episode, sometimes recover but sometimes having delulu), the drama's point of view is his, which could explain why everything I said feels so weird you will understand once everything goes full circle. Remember that Chairman Cha has had a brain issue which actually occur since the first episode, but his amnesia keeping him going to the doctor for first check-up every year, as his memory keep restart near that time. This conclude that chairman and secretary role is just a roleplay of two brother sharing same gen mutation making them both having such issue on their brain.

Emon Mar 23 2025 9:59 am Dong ju = seong hyeon is a child from the late chairman. The woman stand next to ex husband cha deok hui was his mom. Cha deok hui took that picture. She was really jealous, either at her ex husband or at seong hyeon. So she planned the car accident. Until now, she always feels threaten by her father's son.

ChinA Mar 22 2025 8:30 pm My theory is that Cha deok hi is not a biological daughter of Chairman Cha. She may be the daughter of secretary Gong. The biological daughter of Dongju is the real daughter of Chairman or Cha.. just guessing!

Secretery John Mar 22 2025 5:54 pm WTF!? Then ending of ep 10 blow my mind! Just wtf happen

Maria Errica Lim Mar 22 2025 12:54 am Possible twists could be that Seo Dong Ju could be Secretary Kong's son with Hu Ildo, it could be reflected thru Hu Ildo's weird and awkward behavior towards Seo Dongju, it could be because even if they are not both aware of the fact, blood is thicker than water and it bonds in the most unexpected ways. Huh Tae-Yoon's fondness for hi Hyung Seo Dong Ju exists maybe because they are biological hal-brothers.

Another twist could be he is the son of Cha Duk Hee's deceased husband and Hu Ildo's friend with Secretary Kong. And that, Eun - nam, (as what @Jin said previously in the comments) could actually be Ildo's biological daughter.

So far, this is the best thrilling, suspenseful and intriguing K Drama of PHS. Love his visuals and I adore the writer of the story! on my 9th episode and my rating here is 9 out of 10.

wnnny Mar 22 2025 12:18 am @ Jin, typo-error, Seo Dongju could be a cousin-brother to Eun-nam.

Either, (a) Seo Dongju could be Chairman Cha's deceased son Cha Deokhui with Secretary Gong and if so, Seo Dongju is Eun-nam's cousin, or (b) Eun-nam's dad Yeo Sun-ho's illegitimate son with Secretary gong and if so, Seo Dong-ju is Eun-nam's half-sibling.

Jin Mar 21 2025 11:51 pm @wnnny I think Seo Dongju is Eun Nam’s dad (Yeo Sun-ho) illegitimate son with secretary Gong. And Eun Nam biological dad is really Hung Il-Du.

wnnny Mar 21 2025 11:28 pm @ seokjinie, I think so, Seo Dongju could be Chairman Cha Gang-Cheon's grandson (Seo Dongju could be the illegitimate son of Secretary Gong with Chairman Cha's deceased son and if yes, then Seo Dongju is Eunnam's half-brother).

seokjinie Mar 21 2025 10:54 pm Is it possible seo dongju is chairman cho's grandson??? But what will happen to him and eunnam??? It's also possible he's adopted too because his surname original surname is chu

Gb Mar 21 2025 12:11 pm I really get confuse who's son is seo dongju now.

seokjinie Mar 20 2025 8:19 am Phs in his badass era, his best series so far

Anniabanana Mar 20 2025 7:19 am By far the best PHS kdrama ❤️

Abdi yn Mar 19 2025 5:48 pm Stay healthy my dear Eunnam, watching this drama reminds me of the drama The Innocent Man (Song Joong-ki X Moon Chaewon), you are really beautiful here and look similar to Moon Chae Won, love you

ML Mar 16 2025 7:05 pm 2025 master piece.. no skip.. every second & minute the scene never disappointed at all. Even the FL is new actor.. need more improvement.. you can go further.

our phs is grown up.. not baby boy anymore.

.

Gabriel Mar 15 2025 7:13 am This is a master piece my South Korean drama ever, what a drama the casts are perfect I really really like it can't wait watching nex episode 7 and on going I'm in love with this drama I can't believe on how it will end but please make sure there's season 2 please !

NawSuzy Mar 14 2025 7:14 pm This is a masterpiece drama!!!! The casts are perfect especially the main couple! Can’t wait to watch all the episodes!! I’m dying to know who Dongju really is and how the ending will be!! Please have a happy ending for Dongju and Eunnam! They deserve happiness! Plus the ost and the instrumental in the drama fits perfectly with every scenes. The emotional scene gives me goosebumps and tears ! it’s a very unique drama because you rarely get the see these types of genre in K-drama! Very strong intense storyline which makes you dying to know what’s gonna happen next! lol so obsessed with this drama!!! A combination of romance and revenge is my cup of tea lol It’s indeed one of best Kdrama so far!!! Fighting Buried Hearts!

Neil Mar 14 2025 11:26 am Im loving this!!!

Goo Mar 10 2025 8:33 am At the end of episode 6, the Park Hyun Sik body is stretched and his body hair is standing up, it's really amazing, he's a truly amazing professional actor.

Ynnah Mar 09 2025 12:26 pm Thrilled with their plot. Amazing PHS

Sushi87 Mar 09 2025 9:34 am Yes amnesia trope it is! Still interesting. Good follow up project for PHS after that boring Doctor Slump.

Also glad that FL is ok and doesn't ruin the show like the FL in Impossible Heir.

Ildo is a good actor especially that part when he realized Dongju is alive.

Dale Mar 09 2025 5:34 am I just have one complaint for the time being.. why didn't they make the effort to make the tattoos look real. It's like what i used to buy when I was young. ?

mike Mar 08 2025 11:00 pm Lmao ep6 ending.....hard to describe how i feel but 100% scripwriters, directors are going to a hellhole with that plot. Looking at the built up, they will have problem to fill up the hole they built. Can sense that the ending is gonna be sh*t.

will come back in a 1.5mths to validate this.

Du Mar 08 2025 7:49 pm @Magui I’m also waiting on eps 5 and 6 in the US. Really enjoying this show. PHS is so handsome.

Errica Lim Mar 08 2025 7:35 pm On my 6th episode, and I kinda wonder how the President’s real thoughts for Seo Deongju. Even the secretary Kong was bothered by the disappearance and resurfaced of the memory-loss PHS character. Are they related in some ways? And behind being puppeteered by the evil, Mr. Yeom, will Mr. President turn to save Director Seo? This series is getting interesting each turn of the episode.

Bigćay Mar 08 2025 2:20 pm Alright I'm getting pissed now, cause what's with all this roundabout

Paige Mar 08 2025 3:36 am Wow this drama is just so good, I must give it to the actors especially park hung ski and Jeon Jun ho. I’m patiently waiting for ep 6 like this!!!!!. This one week wait is a lot ohh

Maugabby Mar 08 2025 12:21 am I've never felt bad for a villain like how i did for Hun lldo in episode 4!

Leo Mar 07 2025 8:02 am The first episode is a lil bit confusing...I had to repeatedly check the characters name because it was not properly introduced, but as the story grows, wow...just wow...here i'm only at the second episode but wanna praise it so much...

wnnny Mar 04 2025 10:29 pm @Camille Amour

As I understood from Eps 1-3, they were 'flashback'. Yeo Eun-Nam is married to Yeom Jang Sun's grandson Yeom Hui-Cheol. Seo Dong-Joo was shot by Huh Il-Do (Huh II-Do is Yeo Eun-Nam's step-father), rescued by Bae Won-Bae and suffering from amnesia.

Cutieeeeee Mar 03 2025 3:42 am Lorrddddd,I’m obsessed dammit.park hyung Shik really is a great actor and he’s so hot,handsome,cute,sexy and damnnnnn I can’t concentrate.I knew he was handsome but this is too much..Great storyline,good plot. I wish this was a Netflix drama and released all at once. Waiting is so hard.

Nimi Mar 03 2025 3:41 am Lorrddddd,I’m obsessed dammit.park hyung Shik really is a great actor and he’s so hot,handsome,cute,sexy and damnnnnn I can’t concentrate.I knew he was handsome but this is too much..Great storyline,good plot.

Georgia Mar 02 2025 10:10 pm Can we have this series in Greece too, please?

M Mar 02 2025 6:16 pm The best series and the best actors

Nijer Mar 02 2025 4:42 am That's why you need password manager guys

wnnny Mar 02 2025 3:52 am Watched eps 1-3. I hope Seo Dong-Joe moves on with his life and forget his girlfriend Yeo Eun-Nam e.g. take over Daesan group or revenge against Yeom Jang-Sun as his girlfriend has married Yeom Hui-Cheol, as he said to her she is a real 'bitch'.

claire Mar 01 2025 3:28 pm I find it a good 'film noir'. And Park Hyung Sik is truly phenomenal.

탄데카 Feb 26 2025 12:26 pm As im watching episode two I realise it’s giving Reborn rich, im seeing Song Joong Ki. It’s amazing, im loving this one so far ?

RuleZ Feb 24 2025 11:06 am Feels like reborn rich

Camille Amor Feb 24 2025 7:04 am Hi, please explain to me who did she get married to

masterneil Feb 23 2025 10:11 am Im loving it!!!! Haha

netorare Feb 23 2025 5:53 am Geeezzzzzz ntr

Riri WhaiD Feb 22 2025 6:27 am Just like RiriBlaQ below this comment

Freak, I shouldn't have watched the 1st episode. I just want a peaceful night but, oh gosh with that excessive kisses and romanticism and suddenly... well that is an expected outcome but still my precious holiday filled with an NTR. Now I'll have to wait.

Riri BlaQ Feb 22 2025 4:09 am I love how the story is going so far, I wished I hadn't start. Now I'll have to wait.

Gi Feb 21 2025 9:28 pm The storyline is predictable ... Don't get me wrong.. the First episode I known the granddaughter of Daesng is Seon girlfriend. Seems interesting because of Park Hunsik. For let us enjoy the ride.. let see why Seon has this buried hearts.

Xander Feb 21 2025 4:18 pm They've got park hyung shik looking like yoo ji tae from oldboy, I'm so hooked ?

Episode 1 ending was so heartbreaking damn ?

5_ooo Jan 31 2025 3:28 pm this one is going to be So good.. if only i could find where to watch it

Jillibean Dec 25 2024 5:10 am Will check it out for the actors though the story sounds rather odd and "out there". Lol
