In ‘Treasure Island’, Park Hyung-sik provokes Heo Jun-ho.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’ (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu) is breaking its own highest viewership ratings consecutively, maintaining its number one spot among Friday-Saturday dramas. The addictive story, the array of three-dimensional characters, and the bold direction have created the best synergy. Above all, the destructive combination of Park Hyung-sik (playing Seo Dong-joo) and Heo Jun-ho (playing Yeom Jang-seon), which captures both ratings and buzz, has been analyzed as a success.
Previously, Yeom Jang-seon attempted to kill Seo Dong-joo, who knew about the existence of a 2 trillion won political slush fund. Seo Dong-joo did not die and counterattacked by hacking the slush fund account. Unaware of this, Yeom Jang-seon once again pushed Seo Dong-joo to the brink of death, but later learned about Seo Dong-joo's hacking of the account and became furious. After Seo Dong-joo resurrected with amnesia, Yeom Jang-seon even killed Seo Dong-joo's sister. As a result, Seo Dong-joo, having regained his memory, harbored a desperate desire for revenge against Yeom Jang-seon.
In the drama, Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon create tension as they hold each other's financial lifelines and lives in their hands. The relationship between the two, where one gets trampled if they do not step on the other, and the fierce exchanges they have make viewers feel as if they are watching an action movie or playing a game, gripping their hands in suspense. Therefore, whenever the two confront each other, the immersion in the drama skyrockets.
In this context, on the 21st, the production team of ‘Treasure Island’ previewed the intense confrontation between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon ahead of the 9th episode broadcast. In particular, it raises expectations that Seo Dong-joo, who has regained his memory, will deliver a thrilling provocation to Yeom Jang-seon. Seo Dong-joo, who is risking his life for revenge, is set to confront Yeom Jang-seon with a sharp declaration, saying, “Wait! I will return everything to you.”
In this regard, the production team of ‘Treasure Island’ hinted, “In episode 9, Seo Dong-joo, who has once again escaped the brink of death, will begin a thrilling counterattack. The first target of Seo Dong-joo's counterattack is, of course, Yeom Jang-seon. With no more secrets to hide, Seo Dong-joo will charge forward without hesitation, causing Yeom Jang-seon's anger gauge to soar.”
They continued, “Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho have portrayed the fierce battle between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon with such intensity that words are unnecessary. If you immerse yourself in the performances of the two actors, you will find that 60 minutes have flown by. We ask for your great interest and anticipation for episode 9 of ‘Treasure Island’, where you can witness the fierce battle between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon, and the passionate performances of Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho.”
Meanwhile, episode 9 of ‘Treasure Island’ will air on the 21st at 9:50 PM.
