Scheduled to premiere in February 2025, KBS 2TV‘s new weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers’ (directed by Choi Sang-yeol / written by Koo Hyun-sook) is a well-made family drama about the five unique brothers of the ‘Eagle Brewery’, who have carried on the long tradition, and the eldest sister-in-law who becomes the head of the household after only ten days of marriage following her husband’s sudden death.

Following this, actors Park Jun-geum, Kim Jun-bae, Choi Byung-mo, and Bae Hae-sun have revealed a solid lineup of cast members, raising expectations for the upcoming weekend drama.
First, Park Jun-geum plays the role of Princess Sil, Ma Kwang-sook‘s (Uhm Ji-won) mother. Princess Sil is not only a fashionista with outstanding beauty, natural talent, and charm who can charm men, but also has a great fashion sense. Princess Sil is a character who is nagging at her daughter Ma Kwang-sook but loves and cherishes her daughter more than anyone else. In this way, Park Jun-geum will add vitality to the drama by showing off her bickering chemistry with Uhm Ji-won.
Kim Jun-bae plays Go Ja-dong, the manager of the Eagle Brewery factory. He is a master craftsman who can easily lift a sack of rice, and he is a character who is good at making makgeolli and is full of loyalty. Even when Eagle Brewery faces hardships, he keeps his loyalty and lives like family. Ko Ja-dong interferes with the reckless behavior of the princess and confronts her, but before long, a strange atmosphere flows between them and their relationship changes. Kim Jun-bae is expected to be responsible for the viewers’ fun with various episodes with Park Jun-geum.
On the other hand, Choi Byung-mo plays Dokgo Tak, the founder of Silla Brewing. He is one of the top three successful brewers in the domestic brewing industry, but he speaks like a merchant and acts roughly. Dokgo Tak is also greedy, calculating, and a materialistic person who judges a person‘s worth by money. Expectations are high for his performance, which will add to the tension of the drama as he becomes intricately intertwined with the eagle-eyed sorcerer.
Lastly, Bae Hae-sun plays Dokgo Tak’s (Choi Byung-mo) wife, Jang Mi-ae. She is a character who is quick-witted, lies calmly, and quickly changes her stance to cover up a lie with another lie when it seems like her lie is about to be exposed. Jang Mi-ae, who is very materialistic and vain, is said to have a hidden secret that she cannot tell. Attention is being paid to what kind of twists his eventful life story will bring.
