Is ‘Buried Hearts’ About to Blow Our Minds? Let’s Talk Theories!
Four episodes in, and Buried Hearts is already taking over the internet faster than a viral TikTok trend. The plot twists? Insane. The drama? Off the charts. The fan theories? Absolutely wild.

So, what’s really going to happen in the end? Will love conquer revenge? Will secrets explode in our faces? Or are we about to get an ending so chaotic it makes The Penthouse finale look tame?
Grab your ramyeon, because we’re about to deep-dive into the wildest Buried Hearts theories making waves on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and beyond!
1. The Family Twist That Changes Everything
Every K-drama needs a solid family drama, and Buried Hearts is delivering in the messiest way possible. Fans are convinced that Ildo, the cold-hearted chaebol, isn’t just a shady businessman—he might actually be Yeo Eun-nam’s long-lost father. Cue the dramatic gasps.

But wait, it gets crazier. Some fans think Eun-nam’s father might also be Seo Dong-joo’s biological dad, making our revenge hero and his love interest… siblings?! Excuse me while I scream into a pillow.

And let’s not forget Secretary Gong. If you’ve watched enough K-dramas, you already know—when a secretary is acting sus, they know something BIG. Fans on Dramabeans are convinced she’s somehow tied to Dong-joo’s parents’ tragic past. Could she be the key to unlocking all the secrets?

2. Romance or Heartbreak? The Love Triangle That’s Dividing Fans
Dong-joo and Eun-nam’s relationship is the heart of this show, but the fandom is torn. Some are clinging to hope for a swoon-worthy reunion, even with Eun-nam trapped in a toxic marriage.

Others, like Reddit user Magicalparadise_18, say no way—they’re shipping Dong-joo with the hacker girl instead.

But here’s the biggest plot twist yet. What if Eun-nam is secretly pregnant with Dong-joo’s child… and she’s keeping it from him because of his amnesia? A user on X, @writtenbysartre, dropped this theory, and honestly? It would be a recipe for heartbreak on an elite level.

Are we getting a Crash Landing on You-style happy ending? Or is this about to go full Penthouse with a betrayal that will emotionally wreck us all? Either way, I’m not ready.
3. Is Dong-joo’s Amnesia Real—Or Is He Playing 4D Chess?
Ah yes, the classic K-drama amnesia trope. But what if it’s not what it seems? Some fans think Dong-joo is faking it to manipulate his enemies and strike when they least expect it. Imagine pulling off revenge while looking that good in a suit? Iconic behavior.

Others argue that no, this amnesia is 100% real—and it’s the only reason he’s still alive. Why? Because his enemies need him to unlock a 2 trillion won slush fund. That’s enough money to buy a small country… or at least a lifetime supply of soju and samgyeopsal.
So which is it? Mastermind move or tragic memory loss? Either way, we’re in for some serious drama when the truth finally drops.
4. The Big Finale – Revenge, Redemption, or Total Chaos?
Now, let’s talk endings. How will Buried Hearts wrap up this tangled web of lies and revenge?
- Some theorists believe Ildo will have a last-minute change of heart and team up with Dong-joo for a dramatic showdown.
- Others are betting on a full-blown revenge rampage, with Dong-joo taking everyone down—including Eun-nam.
- And then there’s the wildcard scenario: Dong-joo remembers everything, flips the game on his enemies, and walks away as the ultimate power player. It’s giving Vincenzo energy, and honestly? I wouldn’t be mad at it.

With 12 episodes left, anything can happen. Will it be redemption, heartbreak, or complete destruction? The suspense is killing me.
