When a political investigation uncovers corruption and embezzlement at a leading Korean conglomerate, a scheming executive attempts to curry favor in Buried Hearts, a new political revenge drama coming 21 February to Disney+.
A controversial energy project has brought the multinational Daesan Group into the spotlight. Accused of mismanagement, embezzlement and corruption, with two trillion won of government funding missing, the company finds itself under investigation by Korea’s National Assembly. Seeing the investigation as an opportunity to advance his career and one day take control of the company, morally ambiguous Daesan Group executive Seo Dongju begins bribing, blackmailing and employing other illicit means to save the Group and establish himself as an irreplaceable part of the company.
Starring Park Hyungsik as scheming executive Seo Dongju, Huh Joonho as manipulative professor and powerbroker Yeom Jangseon, Hong Hwayeon as Yeo Eunnam and Lee Haeyoung as Huh Ildo, Buried Hearts is written by Lee Myeonghee and directed by Jin Changkyoo.
After a binge-fueled 2024 that saw breakout Korean series take home a wealth of awards, 2025 on Disney+ promises audiences so much more with upcoming series including Hyper Knife (19 March), a medical drama unlike any other starring Park Eunbin and Sul Kyunggu; Knock-Off, starring Kim Soohyun and Cho Boah in a story about a man’s descent into the world of counterfeit goods; and Nine Puzzles, about a criminal profiler being targeted by a serial killer starring Kim Dami, Son Sukku and so much more.
