SBS has unveiled the first sneak peek of its upcoming drama “Treasure Island” (literal translation)!
“Treasure Island” will tell the story of a man who manages to hack a political slush fund account worth 2 trillion won (approximately $1.4 billion) and the man who kills him without knowing he’s been hacked—thus accidentally losing the entire 2 trillion won.
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.
On December 21, SBS aired the very first teaser for the drama during the 2024 SBS Drama Awards.
The teaser begins with Seo Dong Joo looking at the Daesan logo inside the company building and warning in voice-over, “Just wait. I’ll repay you for all of this.” Noting that Daesan chairman Cha Kang Chun doesn’t have a son, he then tells himself, “Seo Dong Joo, dream big.”
Seo Dong Joo soon becomes a key figure in company politics, with some aiming to get rid of him while others offer him an alliance. Later, he finds himself fighting for his life after becoming a target of powerful forces.
As Seo Dong Joo goes on the run, Yum Jang Sun cryptically complains, “Seo Dong Joo placed all of my money in his head and ran away.” When the two men face off in person, Yum Jang Sun angrily yells at Seo Dong Joo, “2 trillion won of my money is inside your head!” Seo Dong Joo is then seen aiming a gun at his own head as he warns in voice-over, “Just wait. I’m coming to kill you, you bastard.”
“Treasure Island” will premiere in February 2025. Check out the first teaser for the drama below!
