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 this February 21 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 Hyung-sik (“Soundtrack #1,” “Happiness,” “Suits”) as scheming executive Seo Dongju; Huh Joon-ho (“Bloodhounds,” “Why Her”) as manipulative professor and powerbroker Yeom Jangseon; Hong Hwa-yeon (“True to Love,” “Mental Coach Jegal”) as Yeo Eun-nam; and Lee Hae-young (“Vigilante,” “Bloodhounds”) as Huh Ildo, “Buried Hearts” is written by Lee Myeong-hee (“Money Flower,” “Jang Yeong-sil”) and directed by Jin Chang-kyoo (“Military Prosecutor Doberman,” “Bad Papa”).
After a binge-fueled 2024 that saw breakout Korean series take home a wealth of awards, 2025 on Disney+ promises audiences so much more — more action, more drama, more mystery, and more betrayal — with upcoming series including “Hyper Knife” (March 19), a medical drama unlike any other starring Park Eun-bin and Sul Kyung-gu; “Knock-Off,” starring Kim Soo-hyun and Jo Bo-ah 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 Da-mi, Son Suk-ku, and so much more.
Stream “Buried Hearts” starting February 21 on Disney+.
