‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ shows the eventful life stories of five special brothers.

The new KBS 2TV weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ (directed by Choi Sang-yeol / written by Koo Hyun-sook), scheduled to premiere in February 2025, is a drama that depicts a mature family story created by the five unique brothers of the long-established brewery Eagle Brewery and the eldest sister-in-law who suddenly becomes the head of the household after her husband‘s sudden death just ten days after her wedding.

Among them, on the 30th (today), stills of Lee Pil-mo (as Oh Jang-soo), Choi Dae-chul (as Oh Cheon-soo), Kim Dong-wan (as Oh Heung-soo), Yoon Park (as Oh Beom-soo), and Lee Seok-gi (as Oh Kang-soo), who will lead ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’, were released, piqueing the curiosity of potential viewers. The released stills show the five brothers walking confidently, along with their distinct personalities, which arouses interest.

The five brothers who gathered under the eagle-eyed sage, live a difficult life in a tangled reality with nothing to unravel. The story is about those who were scattered, but who come together around Ma Kwang-sook (played by Uhm Ji-won), restore the brotherhood they had forgotten, and grow.

First, the eldest son Oh Jang-soo, played by Lee Pil-mo, is the head of the eagle-eyed sage, and is a diligent and honest person who took in his younger siblings in place of his parents who passed away. Although he was well past the age of marriage to take care of his younger siblings, he meets his destined partner, Kwang-sook, and enjoys a happy time together, but an unexpected accident occurs.

The second son Oh Cheon-soo, played by Choi Dae-chul, is a successful securities fund manager who is reserved and does not express his feelings well. Even when something unfortunate happens to him, he cannot readily ask for help and lives with it inside. It makes one wonder what kind of influence the events that befell Cheon-su will have on the five brothers.

Meanwhile, Kim Dong-wan plays the third son Oh Heung-soo, who is full of energy and talkativeness. He is more interested in dancing than eating and sleeping, and devotes himself solely to dancing. In the process, Heung-soo meets his destined partner through dancing and experiences the bitterness of life, stimulating curiosity about how his life story will unfold.

On the other hand, Yoon Park plays the fourth son Oh Beom-soo, who studied abroad in the United States and was appointed as a professor at a prestigious university. Beom-soo, the blue chip of the Eagles’ School of Art, is a perfect handsome man with a good personality and intelligence. However, even he, who seemed to be perfect without a single mistake, has a hidden story that defies expectations.

Lastly, Lee Seok-ki plays the youngest son Oh Kang-soo. Kang-soo, who always believes and follows his brothers‘ words, suddenly gets into an accident while serving as a UDT elite non-commissioned officer. It is also said that he has a secret that he cannot tell, so attention is focused on how that secret will be revealed.

The ’Eagle 5 Brothers‘, who talk a lot and have a lot of trouble, have their lives change after meeting Gwang-sook. The eventful story of the five brothers with various stories is expected to add to the fun by evoking deep resonance and empathy from viewers.

’Please Take Care of the Eagle 5 Brothers!‘ is the sequel to ’Iron Family‘ and is scheduled to premiere in February 2025.
