'The Art of Negotiation' rises to its highest domestic viewership
Park Hyung Sik refuses to back down from fighting against ruthless Huh Joon Ho in Buried Hearts.
Buried Hearts follows the story of a man who hacks into a secret political slush fund account holding 2 trillion won and a powerful figure who, unaware of the hacking, kills the man — only to lose the entire 2 trillion won.
The K-drama's second teaser showcases the intense rivalry between Seo Dong Joo (Park Hyung Sik) and Yeom Jang Seon (Huh Joon Ho).
The second teaser begins with Seo Dong Joo, bloodied and on his knees, pleading, "I don't want to die, sir. Please spare me." This contrasts sharply with the next scene where he says, "Back then, I was sure... Sure about everything." The teaser further hints that the one who brought him to his knees is none other than Yeom Jang Seon (Huh Joon Ho).
Yeom Jang Seon coldly says, "It's unsettling… that Seo Dong Joo is in Daesan," as he cuts a tree branch, his sharp gaze hints just how ruthless he really is. His words hint that another ambitious figure, Heo Il Do (Lee Hae Young), will soon take action. Then comes Yeom Jang Seon's order: "Find Seo Dong Joo immediately and put an end to him, no matter what." This marks the beginning of a war between the two men.
The teaser then erupts into chaos. Seo Dong Joo, bloodied and battered, is thrown to the ground over and over. Yet, he refuses to back down, rising to strike back. Meanwhile, Yeom Jang Seo, shaken by Seo Dong Joo's comeback, watches with unease. The screen fills with shots of the main characters grabbing each other by the throat, trying to bring one another down.
The text "A man who lost everything, his revenge begins" heightens the tension, promising an intense battle ahead.
Buried Hearts will premiere on February 21. News about the K-drama's global OTT platform is yet to come.
