‘Treasure Island’ Park Hyung-sik is in danger again.

According to the viewership ratings research company Nielsen Korea on March 8, the 5th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’ (written by Lee Myung-hee/directed by Jin Chang-gyu) that aired on March 7 recorded 9.2% nationwide and 9% in the metropolitan area, taking first place in viewership ratings across all channels and among Friday-Saturday dramas in the same time slot. The peak viewership rating soared to 10.7%, and the 2049 viewership rating also continued its lead in Friday-Saturday dramas with 2.7%.

In the broadcast that day, Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik), who was resurrected from the brink of death but lost his memory, jumped back into the game of desire. This had a huge impact on Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho) and Heo Il-do (played by Lee Hae-young). The psychological warfare between the three characters exploded, and the passionate acting of Park Hyung-sik, Heo Jun-ho, and Lee Hae-young, who portrayed it, also exploded.

On this day, Seo Dong-ju reunited with Yeo Eun-nam (Hong Hwa-yeon), whom he loved, but did not recognize her. Yeo Eun-nam was shocked when Seo Dong-ju said that he had lost his memory, but soon made a connection with him by handing him her cell phone. However, the news that Seo Dong-ju had returned reached Yeom Jang-sun right away, and Yeom Jang-sun immediately began chasing Seo Dong-ju. Seo Dong-ju, who instinctively felt danger, quickly avoided it and was able to escape the crisis.

Someone shot him to kill him, but he has no memory of it. For Seo Dong-ju, it was a situation where he could not help but be suspicious of everyone who approached him. Even though Seo Dong-ju reunited with Cha Kang-cheon (Woo Hyun), the chairman of Daesan Group who had trusted him, he suspected him and ran away. After much thought, Seo Dong-ju told Yeo Eun-nam, “I can’t trust anyone.

In the end, Seo Dong-ju decided to confront his lost memory self instead of avoiding it, and entered Daesan House on his own. There, Seo Dong-ju said that his name was ‘Seong-hyeon’ and that he had lost his memory. Several characters were caught flinching when the name ‘Seong-hyeon’ was mentioned. Also, Cha Deok-hee (played by Kim Jung-nan) and Secretary Gong (played by Seo Kyung-hwa) whispered, “That child is dead”, arousing curiosity.

Meanwhile, Seo Dong-ju told Heo Il-do the story of how he saved him in the sea. Whether Seo Dong-ju intended it or not, it put a lot of pressure on Heo Il-do. On the other hand, Yeom Jang-seon judged that Seo Dong-ju was pretending to lose his memory, and became suspicious. Finally, Yeom Jang-seon visited Seo Dong-ju, who was lying alone in the hospital room, and gave him a chilling warning, saying, “I‘ll smash your head with a hammer to get your Swiss account back.”

Yeom Jang-seon’s warning soon became reality. Yeom Jang-seon ordered Seo Dong-ju‘s kidnapping. After being kidnapped, Seo Dong-ju was tied up and subjected to terrifying water torture. The only thing the recorder kept telling him to tell her the hacked account password. Episode 5 of ‘Treasure Island’ ended with Seo Dong-ju’s desperate appearance. Did Seo Dong-ju really lose his memory? The last minute was even more immersive because the viewers didn‘t know what was true or who to trust.

Episode 6 of SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’, which foreshadows a more powerful development as Seo Dong-ju jumps back into the game of desire, will air tonight, Saturday, March 8th at 9:50 PM.
