According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company, the 12th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 『Treasure Island" (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-kyu) aired on March 29 ranked first in all channels and Saturday miniseries at the same time, with viewership rates of 12.7% nationwide, 12.5% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and 13.8% at the moment. Above all, the channel competitiveness index 2049 viewership broke the highest record at 3.3%, ranking first in all programs aired on Saturday.
On this day's broadcast, the secret of the real birth surrounding Seo Dong-ju (Park Hyung-sik) was revealed. Seo Dong-ju's biological father was not Yeo Soon-ho (Joo Sang-wook), who died, but Heo Il-do (Lee Hae-young), who tried to kill Seo Dong-ju again and again. Above all, the viciousness of Yeom Jang-sun (Huh Joon-ho), who gave Heo Il-do a gun to kill Seo Dong-ju even though he knew all of these facts, shocked the small screen.
Seo Dong-ju, who recalled all the memories of the night Yeo Soon-ho died through hypnosis, trembled with revenge for Heo Il-do. In response, Seo Dong-ju visited Heo Il-do and revealed that he was a young Sung-hyun in the Yeo Soon-ho car of 'That Night', and that he remembered all the wrongs committed by Heo Il-do that day. Heo Il-do tried to deny the situation he didn't want to believe, but Seo Dong-ju even copied Heo Il-do's bite of a tissue in his mouth before pushing the car away.
Seo Dong-ju didn't stop there, but to Heo Il-do, "Put up everything you received in Daesan and leave Daesan." he pressed. Heildo, who was pushed to the edge of the cliff, visited the saline ship and demanded a gun. This time, he decided to kill and kill Seo Dong-ju. Heo Il-do proposed to Yeom Jang-sun a plan to decorate Seo Dong-ju as if he had decided to do so after learning that he was a half-sister with Yeo Eun-nam (Hong Hwa-yeon) who he loved.
However, Yeomjang-seon and Heo Il-do did not immediately put them into practice. In order to take over the Daesan Group, Chairman Cha Kang-cheon (Woo Hyun) and Ji Young-soo (Do Ji-won), who gave birth to Cha Kang-cheon's extramarital child, had to hurry up. Unaware of this plan, Seo Dong-ju decided to hide all the truth from Yeo Eun-nam so that Yeo Eun-nam would not suffer. After Chairman Cha Kang-cheon's wedding ceremony, Heo Il-do called out Seo Dong-ju with the gun he received from Yeom Jang-seon.
This is when the real twist started. Earlier, dandelion data obtained to catch the weakness of the saline line revealed that Seo Dong-ju is the 親 of Heo Il-do. Transcripts of dandelion data show "Don't you know Heildo is his son?There was a conversation between Yeom Jang-seon and someone who asked ". Choo Sung-hyun, a child who thought he was dead, or Seo Dong-ju, was Heo Il-do's biological child. Seo Dong-ju, who even confirmed the genetic test results, could not hide his disappointment.
In the end, Seo Dong-ju and Heo Il-do faced each other. The saline line is aimed at Heo Il-do "Attention. You're going to succeed this time, right?" provoked. Heo Il-do says, "If I can't kill him again, I'll get even worse insults." and shot Seo Dong-ju. Seo Dong-ju collapsed as it was. Yeom Jang-sun, who showed a creepy smile while watching the situation, now pretends to be in a hurry "Don't shoot me. Seo Dong-ju is his junior's son, he belatedly stopped Heo Il-do.
Then Seo Dong-ju got up from his seat. Seo Dong-ju smiled grotesquely and told Heo Il-do "What are you doing? I'm not dead yet. Hurry up and shoot more. Father." Seo Dong-ju, Yeomjang-seon, and Heo Il-do. The mad faces of the three men crossed.
