5 billions stuck in a head of a genius with amnesia - how far is everyone willing to go to get it

Nerve wrecking thriller about 5 billions stuck in a head of a genius with amnesia - all villains coveting that money, but what do they do to get it? How powerful is power in such scenario? Our main Ml broken to pieces rising from ashes like apex predator, gives one of the most exciting thrillers ever.

ML is genius multitalented businessman with photographic memory who is the right hand of one of the richest man in Korea owner of Daesan Group, he is also a target of corrupted officials who are stealing from national funds and are coveting Daesan Group.
It almost sounds like plot you've already watched, but there's more to it. Fight scenes so raw, betrayal on multiple levels, romantic partner betrayal, family members betrayal, individuals who started as a normal person and get corrupted by power and money, friendships that happen in the most unexpected places, broken to chatarsis

PLUS
- All characters are well written gray characters - layered, have their humorous side, even villains, all characters are deeply loyal to their family goals
- All characters are struggling to decide on the next step - to kill or get killed

ML
- Park Hyung Sik is amazing actor, from broken to pieces, to rising from the ashes as apex predator - to the point where you consider him completely lost to the dark side. To completely soft normal guys who drinks tea his sister recommended for him and buys tatoo for his girlfriend. So many layers, so many emotions on his face.

FL
- trying not to be victim of this power game, but ends up being caught in it anyway, trying to find her way out of it in the most normal way, she is a breath of fresh air with a soft force approach.

Main villain - Huh Il Do
- a trully ruthless oponent, and amazing character to watch

Yeom Yang Seon - villain
- imagine hunger for power with endless resources and political power. He has no obstacles. Nor law or rule can stop him.

No unnecessary misunderstanding that irritate the viewer

Amnesia trope done well
- also paired up with dementia - almost hilarious combo - when you put these two in the corporate game worth of billions. Hilarious
Imagine access to billions stuck in a head with amnesia, of the guy you wish to kill, but if you do you lose money - how would a villain handle that?

MINUS
- secretary Gong deserved more significant contribution to the plot. That woman knows stuff.

- one friendship deserved more screentime , but will not spoil it here, when you watch you will feel you wanted to see more of that relationship, it was taken from us to soon.

- ending - everyone complains on the ending and with a reason. but don't worry, its only last 5 min - and I believe that is the reason why this drama is not rated 9.5 or something.

Watch it!! Its one of the best k drama ever. And in my opinion better then similar power struggle in Holywood interpretation Succession- which is world wide known, but lacks in so many fields.

Buried Hearts is a must watch k drama.
I only leave reviews for dramas I rate 9,5 or more.
