'Treasure Island' started as No. 1 in Friday-Saturday dramas with 6.1% at the time of its first broadcast on February 21. Since then, it has drawn a steep upward curve until the sixth inning, never giving up the top spot in the same time zone. In the sixth episode, which aired on March 8, it soared to 11.2 percent, breaking its own highest ratings. At the moment, the highest ratings rose to 12.3%, proving its unrivaled position in the weekend drama competition.
The secret to the popularity of 'Treasure Island', which is receiving explosive responses as it broadcasts over and over again, is its strong story and directing power. The story of hidden slush funds and revenge of chaebol families is unfolding at a fast tempo, raising tensions, and the characters' meticulous psychological warfare and emotional lines maximize the immersion of the play. In particular, Park Hyung-sik (played by Seo Dong-ju) leads the play by moving between action and emotional acting, while Heo Jun-ho (played by Yeom Jang-sun) is raising the tension of the play with his intense villainous acting.
In the ending of the sixth episode, the scene where Seo Dong-ju regained her lost memories while witnessing the death of her sister, Sister Añez (played by Han Ji-hye) in front of her was a powerful shock. For the purpose, the viciousness of Yeom Jang-seon (played by Heo Jun-ho), who uses human life without hesitation, exploded to maximize the tension of the play. With this opportunity, Seo Dong-ju's full-fledged revenge is expected to begin from the seventh episode, which will be broadcast on March 14, and viewers' expectations are rising.
Attention is focusing on how much higher 'Treasure Island', which has been on the rise since the beginning of the broadcast, will be recorded in the middle of the year. In particular, it has an unrivaled figure in Saturday night's ratings competition, where major dramas are located, drawing attention to the rising ratings in the future.
SBS Friday-Saturday drama 「Treasure Island」 airs every Friday night at 10 p.m. and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
