Actor Huh Joon Ho shared his honest thoughts on his intense face-to-face scene with Park Hyung Sik in Buried Hearts.
On March 6, SBS’s YouTube channel uploaded a new video featuring Park Hyung Sik, Huh Joon Ho, Lee Hae Young, and Hong Hwa Yeon discussing behind-the-scenes stories from filming.
During the discussion, the cast talked about a scene where Seo Dong Joo (Park Hyung Sik) and Yeo Eun Nam (Hong Hwa Yeon) shared a secret office romance.
When asked about workplace relationships, Park Hyung Sik gave a thoughtful answer, saying, "I don’t think it’s my place to approve or disapprove of someone else’s relationship. But if someone is truly confident they won’t get caught and won’t cause any trouble for others, maybe it’s okay? I’m not sure."
Hong Hwa Yeon added, "As long as people can separate work and personal life, it might even serve as motivation and be a good thing."
Then, the conversation shifted to a powerful scene where Seo Dong Joo confesses to Yeom Jang Seon about stealing slush funds.
Huh Joon Ho, who plays Yeom Jang Seon, shared how shocked he was during this moment. "I remember Hyung Sik in that scene. He used to look so pretty, but suddenly, he appeared as a man."
He added, "I was so surprised that I kept messing up my lines. I just couldn’t immerse myself in the emotions because I could see how much effort he had put in."
Huh Joon Ho continued, "There were even times when I couldn’t get my emotions up enough to deliver my lines properly. It was our first script reading, and I saw a different Hyung Sik. I kept making mistakes because of that."
He added, "I wanted to make it easier for him to act, so I deliberately kept my distance and acted cold, not showing my usual self. I wanted him to truly hate me, to the point of wanting to kill me in the scene. But in the end, I was the one struggling because I was too surprised by how much he had grown."
Park Hyung Sik also looked back on the moment, saying, "I was so focused and nervous that I didn’t notice much happening around me."
He added, "But later, the director told me that my eyes changed because of the way Huh Joon Ho sunbae acted. I realized that making a scene isn’t just about one person—it’s about the whole picture that Huh Joon Ho sunbae creates."
Meanwhile, SBS’s Buried Hearts follows Seo Dong Joo, a man who hacks into a slush fund worth 2 trillion won.
Determined to take down the absolute evil that tried to kill him, he bets everything on a life-or-death revenge mission. The drama continues to gain popularity, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
