It’s finally official: Park Hyung Sik and Heo Joon Ho will be starring in SBS’s upcoming drama “Treasure Island” (literal translation)!
“Treasure Island,” which is slated to air in 2025, will tell the story of a man who manages to hack a political slush fund account worth 2 trillion won (approximately $1.5 billion) and the man who kills him without knowing he’s been hacked—thus accidentally losing the entire 2 trillion won. The drama will be penned by “Money Flower” writer Lee Myung Hee and helmed by “Military Prosecutor Doberman” director Jin Chang Gyu.
On September 13, SBS officially confirmed that Park Hyung Sik and Heo Joon Ho would be playing the leading roles in the upcoming drama.
Park Hyung Sik will star as Seo Dong Joo, the leader of the Daesan Group chairperson’s Public Affairs team. Although he appears on the outside to be a loyal “Daesan man” through and through, Seo Dong Joo is secretly full of ambition and ready to seize an opportunity to swallow Daesan Group whole.
Heo Joon Ho will play the wealthy and immensely powerful professor Yum Jang Sun, who was formerly the head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Yum Jang Sun controls kingmakers from behind and secretly holds the strings to all of society, and he derives pleasure from being able to move people around at his will like puppets.
“Treasure Island,” which has already begun filming, will premiere in 2025.
