Well this drama was a ride
DISCLAIMER!!
This is all my opinion and I respect if people don't agree with it.
SPOILERS AND A BIG RANT AHEAD!!
To be honest, I actually understood what was happening near the end, like in the last four episodes. I started to understand how the charaters were thinking then. I had no idea what was happening before that but I still enjoyed watching Hyungsik. He's an extraordinary actor, he excellently delivered the emotional scenes.
As for the story, very convoluted, as I said before I was barely able to follow, I was frustrated for almost 80% of the drama. I think it was probably because of the fact that there were million stories happening at the same time, the amnesia, the patriotism fund, the dementia, the love story, the family revelation, etc. like all of it was confusing. The satisfying parts where Dongju was supposed to one up the evil grandpa were barely satisfying. There wasn't any balancing between bad and good stuff happeneing, literally Dongju was suffering 90% of the time.
I get that Buried Hears is whatever people that haven't watched kdramas think a kdrama is, with revenge, twisted family tree, hidden son, plotwists left and right, betrayals, etc. but I dont think it was greatly explaied even with 16 episodes, which is why I could barely follow what was happening. But I did finish it so that must mean that I at least liked something about it (probably Hyungsik 💀). As for the ending, okay... I gUESS Dongju leaving Daesan was good since he was miserable in it, but what was the point of all that he went through??? Plus keeping Yeom Jangseon in the vault and then him going to prison wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. It was too comfortable for what he has done.
Another thing that I liked was Hyungsik's hair... oh and also the acting. I think that was great, even tho Eunnam's actress could've worked more on her expressions but I heard that she isn't very experienced, so it's fine. And I also liked the revelation that Dongju's father was Ildo. It left my mouth wide open. I didn't expect it at all.
The relationship between Dongju and Eunnam's got frustrating really quickly. This whole story basically started because Eunnam betrayed Dongju. And then Dongju continued to love her. Okay. That's stupid. I get that "yOu wOuLd dO aNyThIng fOr LoVe", but I hate that. The aUDACITY she had to "wait" for him and still want to be with him after what she did, so selfish. Thank gOD he left at the end.
The relationships between Dongju and Hyucheol was actually entertaining to watch. Especially near the end when they were just teasing each other. The actors had great chemisty and were able to pull that off.
I hate how the chairman basically discarded Taeyun once Seonu showed up. I felt so bad for him. He literally did nothing wrong. His dad was killed, ha has a pushy mom, he found out that he has a half brother, a half uncle, he was shunned by his own grandpa. And then he most likely dies??? Tragic.
As for Seonu, I love Woomin and his characters but why must he always be the evil one 😠I dont think it was necessary here, he was living just fine being a baker. But then again, I guess the Woo and Yeom families ruined him in a way. If there's a season 2, he's probably gonna be the new Yeom Jangseon.
As for Yeongsu, Seonu's mom, I actually liked her character, in a bad way of course. I hated her but liked that she was cunning and quiet while scheming in the background. That's how you write a decent evil character.
By the end of it I got so sick and tired of these people I couldn't wait for it to end. I probably continued watching it because it still piqued my curiosity about what's gonna happen. And I was waiting for the satisfying part of Dongju winning but it never came because he was still miserable at the end.
Overall, managed to finish it, so a solid 7.0
