"Treasure Island" is not a show where Heo Joon-ho will just sit back and take it.
In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Treasure Island" (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu), there are two men who cannot back down, lest they be trampled: Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik) and Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Joon-ho). With only two episodes left until the end of "Treasure Island," viewers are eagerly anticipating how the fierce confrontation between these two men, driven by desire, will conclude.
Yeom Jang-seon has been shaking the political slush fund of 2 trillion won, which he claims is the "National Love Fund." An evil man who thinks nothing of taking a life for the sake of his goal, Yeom Jang-seon attempted to kill Seo Dong-joo, who knows about the existence of the "National Love Fund." However, Seo Dong-joo has survived several near-death experiences and, in turn, hacked into Yeom Jang-seon's "National Love Fund" and took away 2 trillion won.
At some point, the rivalry between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon transcended mere money. Seo Dong-joo was consumed by a desire for revenge against Yeom Jang-seon, while Yeom Jang-seon became desperate to eliminate the bothersome Seo Dong-joo. As the past misdeeds of Yeom Jang-seon and the secret of Seo Dong-joo's birth became intertwined, their relationship intensified dramatically. Ultimately, in the ending of the 14th episode, Seo Dong-joo executed a thrilling revenge by broadcasting Yeom Jang-seon's misdeeds live to the entire nation.
On the 11th, the production team of "Treasure Island" released scenes hinting at Yeom Jang-seon's counterattack ahead of the 15th episode broadcast. In the photos, Yeom Jang-seon is seen facing Elder (played by Choi Kwang-il) and Congressman Nam Sang-cheol (played by Ryu Seung-soo). Yeom Jang-seon's intense emotions are striking. In the next photo, Yeom Jang-seon is meeting Ji Young-soo (played by Do Ji-won), who has become the wife of Chairman Cha Gang-cheon (played by Woo Hyun) of the Daesan Group. The look in Yeom Jang-seon's eyes as he looks down at Ji Young-soo, and her hunched expression as she hands something to him, raises curiosity.
Both Elder and Ji Young-soo play very important roles in the various power games surrounding Seo Dong-joo. What kind of scheme is Yeom Jang-seon concocting by meeting with them?
"Treasure Island" production team stated, "In the 15th episode airing today (11th), Yeom Jang-seon's evil instincts, cornered by Seo Dong-joo's revenge, will explode, and he will launch a counterattack against Seo Dong-joo. Heo Joon-ho's chilling performance will heighten the dramatic tension. We ask for the viewers' interest and anticipation."
"Treasure Island" episode 15 will air at 9:50 PM today. The final episode will be broadcast on the 12th at 9:45 PM.
