SBS Friday-Saturday drama 「Treasure Island」 (scripted by Lee Myung-hee, director Jin Chang-gyu) is a life-long full-bet revenge battle in which Seo Dong-ju (played by Park Hyung-sik), who hacked 2 trillion won in political slush funds, fights for absolute evil that killed him and everything to destroy the world.
In the 8th episode of 「Treasure Island」, which aired on the 15th, a shocking reversal was revealed that the identity of actor Choi Kwang-il, who Yeom Jang-shin (played by Heo Jun-ho) had been serving as an elderly man, was President Lee Chul-yong. Choi Kwang-il perfectly portrayed the two-faced villain, raising the play's kimjang to its peak.
On the show, Lee Cheol-yong rebelled against Yeom Jang-seon's plan to put Heo Il-do (Lee Hae-young) in the position of Daesan Group chairman. When Yeom Jang-seon said, "'It's not about breaking down Daesan Group, it's about putting Heo Il-do, who listens to me well, at the top of the list.'" Lee Cheol-yong said, `What did Yeom say?," he said, looking upset.
In addition, Lee Cheol-yong expressed his dark intentions by continuing a tense fight with Yeom Jang-seon, saying, `I can do enough politics that I want to do just with the national love fund I have created in Switzerland.' Lee Cheol-yong's eerie and callous expression contrasted with his good smile on the news screen, giving a fresh shock to the small screen.
Choi Kwang-il, who played an active role as the center of the reversal in such a turbulent development, made it impossible to take his eyes off for a moment by flexing his dual side of the character. Choi Kwang-il, who revealed his true colors, is making us look forward to what kind of story he will write in future developments.
The drama 'Treasure Island', which is expected to show Choi Kwang-il's performance, airs every Friday night at 10 p.m. and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
