‘Treasure Island’ Park Hyung-sik begins his counterattack against Heo Jun-ho.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’ (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu) is fiercely racing towards its midpoint. The 6th episode, aired on March 8, recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 11.2% according to Nielsen Korea, securing the top spot in its time slot across all channels and among Friday-Saturday dramas. This marks a 3% point increase from the previous episode, breaking its own record once again.
The sharp rise in viewership for episode 6 is attributed to the shocking ending. In the finale of episode 6, Yeom Jang-seon delivers an even greater shock to Seo Dong-joo, who has lost his memory, deciding to restore his memories. He drives Seo Dong-joo's only family member, his sister Agnes (played by Han Ji-hye), to her death right before his eyes.
Seo Dong-joo has faced death multiple times because of Yeom Jang-seon. To make matters worse, he lost his only family member, his sister, due to Yeom Jang-seon. With Seo Dong-joo expected to regain his memory, it is inevitable that his desire for revenge against Yeom Jang-seon is burning fiercely. As a result, many viewers are eagerly awaiting the thrilling counterattack from Seo Dong-joo in episode 7 of ‘Treasure Island’.
In the meantime, on the 14th, the production team of ‘Treasure Island’ revealed the scene where Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon confront each other at the funeral home. In the photo, Seo Dong-joo is seen guarding the funeral site as the bereaved. His expression, seemingly vacant and hollow, evokes sympathy. Yeom Jang-seon, who appears at the funeral home, is still observing Seo Dong-joo with suspicious eyes, seemingly wanting to confirm whether Seo Dong-joo has regained his memory.
In the next photo, Seo Dong-joo's gaze suddenly changes, revealing a glimmer of determination. Attention is drawn to how Seo Dong-joo will pressure Yeom Jang-seon and in what manner he will counterattack. Yeom Jang-seon's somewhat urgent and anxious expression in the final photo heightens the anticipation for Seo Dong-joo's counterattack.
In this regard, the production team of ‘Treasure Island’ stated, “In the 7th episode airing today (14th), Seo Dong-joo, who has lost his only family, will finally begin his counterattack against Yeom Jang-seon. Seo Dong-joo will boldly and comprehensively pressure Yeom Jang-seon, contrasting with Yeom Jang-seon, who is gradually being cornered, providing viewers with thrilling moments. The overwhelming performances of Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho will create the best synergy. We ask for your great expectations.”
It’s showtime now. The counterattack of Seo Dong-joo begins in episode 7 of ‘Treasure Island’, airing on the 14th at 9:50 PM.
