Actor Park Hyung-sik has shocked viewers. His immersive performance has led to soaring viewership ratings.
SBS-TV's 'Treasure Island' (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu) aired its 13th episode on the 4th. According to 'Nielsen Korea', the episode achieved a nationwide viewership rating of 13.4%.
Once again, it set a new record for its highest ratings. 'Treasure Island' started with 6.1% (episode 1) and reached double digits (10.2%) in just four episodes. It has been steadily climbing ever since.
The peak viewership rating soared up to 15.7%. The secret of the main character Seo Dong-joo (played by Park Hyung-sik) was revealed, breaking through the 15% barrier. The 2049 viewership rating stood at 3.5%.
The episode was filled with twists upon twists. It was revealed that Seo Dong-joo and Heo Il-do (played by Lee Hae-young) are father and son. Heo Il-do struggled with the unbelievable truth.
He announced his intention to retaliate against Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Joon-ho). After having submitted in college, he faced him for the first time. Heo Il-do warned, "I will erase the devil named Yeom Jang-seon from my life."
However, Yeom Jang-seon played mind games. He deliberately provoked Cha Kang-cheon (played by Woo Hyun) of Dae San Group. He revealed the fact that 2 trillion won was taken from Seo Dong-joo and exposed the relationship between Seo Dong-joo and Yeom Jang-seon.
A crisis emerged. Yeom Jang-seon effectively shook Cha Kang-cheon. He accepted Yeom Jang-seon’s demands and gathered them in one place. Jo Yang-chun (played by Kim Gi-mu) ambushed them, leading to a brawl.
The direction of revenge has become even more intriguing. Heo Il-do threw himself to protect Seo Dong-joo. The two, now aware of each other’s identities, faced a tragic conclusion.
Meanwhile, the 14th episode of 'Treasure Island' will air on the 5th at 9:50 PM.
