Hong Hwa-yeon plays the role of Yeo Eun-nam, the granddaughter of the chairman of Daesan Group, in the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Buried Hearts' (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu), which premiered on the 21st and 22nd.
In this episode, Yeo Eun-nam, who hints at a tender relationship with Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik) while secretly living together as a couple, suddenly announces her engagement to Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Joon-ho), shocking everyone. Eun-nam, who had been sending warm glances to Dong-joo, transforms into a cold demeanor the moment she makes the announcement, revealing her hidden darker side.
Eun-nam expresses her complex inner world through her eyes and expressions, conveying the lingering regrets and sorrows hidden behind her happy smile. The moment she locks eyes with Seo Dong-joo at the wedding, she powerfully conveys the emotions of love and sadness, enhancing the drama's immersion.
With her solid acting that belies her status as a newcomer, Hong Hwa-yeon adds depth to her character, drawing viewers in with the intense romantic chemistry she shares with Park Hyung-sik. She also effectively unravels the complex narrative of her character's hatred and desire for revenge against her stepfather, Heo Il-do (played by Lee Hae-young), earning critical acclaim.
From the very beginning, Hong Hwa-yeon has perfectly portrayed a multifaceted character that is not just a simple antagonist, but one entangled in love, betrayal, conflict, and regret. Expectations are high for how she will further evolve her performance within Eun-nam's secretive storyline.
Meanwhile, 'Buried Hearts', featuring Hong Hwa-yeon, airs every Friday at 10 PM and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
