‘Treasure Island’ Park Hyung-sik and Heo Joon-ho‘s past ill-fated relationship is revealed.

SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’ (written by Lee Myung-hee/directed by Jin Chang-gyu/produced by Studio S, A2Z Entertainment, Purumir Factory) is skyrocketing in viewership ratings. Not only has it never once fallen short of the top spot in viewership ratings for same-time and Friday-Saturday dramas since the first episode, but the 6th episode on the 8th recorded 11.2%, a whopping 3%P increase from the previous episode. ‘Treasure Island’ is showing a ‘crazy rise’, breaking its own highest viewership ratings record a whopping 5 times out of the 6 episodes currently airing.

At the center of ‘Treasure Island’s rise is the destructive combination of ‘Park Hyung-sik (as Seo Dong-joo) X Heo Joon-ho (as Yeom Jang-seon). Park Hyung-sik is powerfully leading ‘Treasure Island’ with his groundbreaking acting transformation, and Heo Jun-ho is filling the drama with his overwhelming villain presence. Viewers are responding that their immersion soars the moment Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-sun appear.

In the 7th episode of ‘Treasure Island’, which will air on the 14th, Seo Dong-joo‘s full-fledged counterattack against Yeom Jang-sun is expected to begin. In the process, the ‘Treasure Island’ production team hinted that Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-sun’s past bad relationship will be revealed, adding to the curiosity.

Earlier, Seo Dong-joo was shocked to learn that the political marriage partner of his beloved Yeo Eun-nam (played by Hong Hwa-yeon) was Yeom Jang-sun‘s nephew Yeom Hee-chul (played by Kwon Soo-hyun). That’s understandable, because Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Hee-chul‘s relationship became entangled due to a bad relationship during their school days. While it has not been revealed what kind of bad blood existed between the two in the past, it has been revealed that Yeom Jang-sun is also involved, raising interest in the broadcast.

Regarding this, the production team of ‘Treasure Island’ said, “In episode 7 that will air on the 14th, Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-sun’s very distant past bad blood will be revealed. Through this, viewers will be able to guess why Yeom Jang-sun tried so hard to drive Seo Dong-joo out of Daesan Group and why she wanted to get Seo Dong-joo out of her sight even if it meant killing him.”. What exactly is the bad blood between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-sun?

Episode 7 of SBS‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’ will air on Friday, the 14th at 9:50 p.m.
