I agree with you and while everyone wants a wrapped up HE I just thought in reality we donβt all get life as…
I feel like I'm the only one that actually expected the push, I mean, all the signs were there. The "prank" push gave it away, in my opinion. The moment Seonu saw his mother getting beaten up by Deokhui, I KNEW he wasn't gonna let that slide. Also his growing jealousy of Taeyun was a huge hint and the way he considered him a "competitor" plus his mother's pushing all lead him to believe that Taeyun is an obstacle that needs to be eliminated.
If Seonu hadn't done it, I feel like his mother would've just because Deokhui once threatened her that she'd kill her and her son if they don't get away from Daesan. So I bet Seonu's mother took the initiative and instigated Seonu to kill Taeyun first and, in turn, completely ruined Deokhui, who was a great obstacle in her plans.
It's definitely a heartbreaking ending for Taeyun but also a great representation of the main motif of the drama, which is how greed for power will completely ruin you. Taeyun told Deokhui to leave everything behind and let go but she insisted they stay and that greed made her lose her son.
It's such a symbolic ending, I don't know why people hate it. It's so tragic in the best way possible.
I'm not disappointed with the ending because dramas usually reflect real life, and in real life, it's not always a happy ending or even a satisfactory one. The ending left me with a dull melancholic feeling in my heart...
The acting was SUPERB. Literally all the cast members did an amazing job. The story and plot had great potential yet fell short midway and were a bit lacking but not to the point of boredom. Honestly, I didn't once feel bored while watching the entire 16 episodes.
I enjoyed watching Buried Hearts so much and I'll miss it so so so so so much. I don't think it deserves the low ratings and hate just because the ending wasn't what people expected.
The story is good but gets messy and out of hand at some point, however, Park Eun Bin's acting carried the whole drama. It might, in fact, carry the whole K-Drama industry in the near future. Her acting is insanely good, I was literally amazed and awestruck watching her performance. She deserves praise, recognition and admiration.
Deok Hui telling Se Ok how grateful he actually is and how it was their last surgery together somehow made me so freaking emotional. I hate when dramas make me sympathize with criminals. π
The way he survived that diabolical car accident is insane to me. I know it's a K-Drama but to THAT extent? Unscathed? Seriously? π
Also, Ye Na, hold up! "NE SARANG YU JEONG"? EXCUSE ME?! I screamed. I knew there was something going on, but a CONFIRMATION as well? THANK YOU! That made a better GL than the whole entire 16 episodes of Friendly Rivalry.
The lightest and most relaxing Thai drama/adaptation I've ever watched. Absolutely zero toxicity detected. A drama full of green flags, especially my man Kongdech. I'll miss him so much. In my opinion, he's the funniest character in the drama. He brought so much laughter and lightness to the drama. I loved his scenes so much, watching him walk away with a broken heart broke my own heart. I don't usually like love triangles but that trio stole my heart. HengMo were perfect and their chemistry with Kongdech was outstanding. I'll miss their dynamics so much.
I'm on epi3 now and kinda don't understand the plot. Why is ML so persistent in saving this nearly bankrupt company…
I don't understand much either but people are welcome to correct us.
What I do understand is:
Yun Ju No used to work for Sanin in the M&A team under Mr. Ha (who's now the CFO that has minions following him everywhere he goes). But then Yun Ju No got caught up in some sort of a scamming scandal that involved his brother (who's now dead) and had to leave South Korea and go to the US.
Some time later (a couple of years I guess), Sanin is on the verge of collapse (bankruptcy, maybe?) And they know Yun Ju No is good GOOD at his job, so against all odds, Mr. Lee (the one with the glasses that so desperately wants to retire) calls him back to Korea to help save the company.
Of course, everyone doubts him because of his past scandal and try to ruin his plans for their own gains.
Yun Ju No himself (I think) is a good man and had nothing to do with what happened to his late brother, so when called for work, he accepted the invitation and he's trying his hardest to live up to Mr. Lee and the chairman's trust and high expectations of him in order to prove that he's not a bad guy as people think.
I really love how the writers put so much depth and meaningfulness into the side stories. Each side character is so detailed and well-written. My eyes literally teared up a little watching the Japanese craftsman react to the photo of his dad. All the chosen cast members are great actors as well, even if it's a tiny role, they did it so perfectly. (The Japanese girl is so adorable with her cute socks.)
I'll admit, I was hella confused the first two episodes because I don't understand much about business and economics, and I had to pause every five minutes to search up certain business terminologies, but as the story progressed and they got into the side stories, it became a little more relatable and enjoyable. (So, if you're thinking about dropping, don't.)
I'm really curious about Yun Ju No's background story because we're already half way through and they've only showed little hints about his deceased brother and his whole ordeal.
Bro survives each and every type of assassination. He's invincible. There ain't no way he'd die. LOL
He doesn't even get weakened for the love of God. Doesn't break an arm or loses a finger. Best they could do is memory loss but now he's even sharper than before. π

I'll miss you, Dongju..
