Must Watch? Revenge K-Drama Hits Impressive All-Time High Viewership Ratings

SBS‘s thriller K-Drama Buried Hearts continues to impress viewers, with its ratings gaining momentum as the story reaches its final stretch. On April 4, the show aired its latest episode, and it was awarded its highest viewership ratings yet, solidifying its status as a standout and “must-watch” K-Drama.

According to Nielsen Korea, the latest episode of Buried Hearts scored an average nationwide rating of 13.4 percent. Not only did it top its own personal best, but it also became the most-watched program across all channels that day.

Among viewers aged 20 to 49 — a key demographic for broadcasters — the series claimed the number one spot in its time slot with an average rating of 3.5 percent.

Starring Park Hyung Sik and Heo Joon Ho, Buried Hearts follows a complex and gripping story centered around a massive political slush fund.

Park Hyung Sik plays Seo Dong Ju, a quiet and secretive corporate secretary who manages to hack into a two trillion won political slush fund. However, before he can do anything with the information, he is attacked by Yeom Jang Seon — played by Heo Joon Ho — who does not initially realize the money has been compromised.

The attack leaves Seo Dong Ju with memory loss after a near-fatal experience, while Yeom Jang Seon gradually discovers the truth and becomes obsessed with recovering the missing money. The incident triggers a suspenseful chain of events that draws both men deeper into a dangerous web of secrets, power, and betrayal.

As Buried Hearts enters its final two weeks, anticipation continues to build. Viewers are eager to see how the show’s intense plot will unfold and whether justice will prevail in the high-stakes battle between the two leads.

With just a few episodes remaining, Buried Hearts shows no signs of slowing down — and its growing ratings are proof of its lasting impact.
