‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ Uhm Ji-won has made her final decision.

In episode 4 of KBS2‘s weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ (directed by Choi Sang-yeol / written by Koo Hyun-sook) aired on the 9th, Ma Kwang-sook (played by Uhm Ji-won) took charge of the Eagle Brewery and began the second act of her life. The viewership ratings for that episode were 19.3% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all households nationwide), recording its highest viewership ratings ever and taking first place among weekend broadcasts, approaching 20% in just 4 episodes.

In that episode, the shocking past of Dokgo Tak (played by Choi Byung-mo) and Jang Mi-ae (played by Bae Hae-sun) embezzling public funds from the Eagle Brewery and running away together in the middle of the night was revealed. Dokgo Tak tells Mi-ae not to be greedy for the Eagle’s Talent, “It was you, Miss Jang, who gave me the accounting ledger, bankbook, and seal when you embezzled public funds from the Eagle‘s Talent and fled in the middle of the night 30 years ago,” and coldly says, revealing the deep ties between their two families.

The tense meeting between Gwang-sook and Han Dong-seok (played by Ahn Jae-wook) was also depicted. Gwang-sook went to see Dong-seok about the cost of her wedding dress repairs. Dong-seok misunderstood Gwang-sook’s action of trying to give him medicine as urging him to pay for the repairs. Dong-seok says, “It looks like you‘ve only been married for a few days. Your husband must be really tired. If you tease someone like this, will he live to be exiled? Where?” and hurting Gwang-sook, the two’s turbulent relationship made the drama even more exciting.

The first meeting between Oh Kang-soo (played by Lee Seok-ki), the youngest of the five Eagle brothers, and Han Bom (played by Kim Seung-yoon), the daughter of Han Dong-seok, also drew attention. Kang-soo happened to witness Bom being threatened by a stalker with a weapon, and without hesitation, he subdued him and saved Bom from danger. Later, Kang-soo learned that Bom was the younger sister of his senior in the military, Han-gyeol (played by Yoon Jun-won).

On the other hand, Gwang-sook’s determination to take over the brewery surprised viewers. Unable to give up the brewery that her husband had devoted himself to, she showed her strong will by submitting her resignation to the company despite her brothers-in-law’s concerns.

Joo-sil, who had a problem with a resident at Golden Castle, left after hearing her daughter Gwang-sook say that she would take her to a better place than here. However, the place Gwang-sook headed was the Eagle Brewery, and Joo-shil, who was angry about this, tried to go back to Golden Castle, but Gwang-sook said, ”I decided to invest my mom’s deposit in the Eagle Brewery,“ and made him angry. In the end, Joo-shil ended up living with Gwang-sook, raising curiosity about what kind of spectacular stories will unfold in the future.

At the end of the broadcast, Gwang-sook devoted herself to research to make the perfect makgeolli and gradually adapted to the brewery. After countless efforts and failures, Gwang-sook succeeded in making makgeolli and became a proper brewery owner, even driving the truck that Jang-soo used to drive. It greatly heightened curiosity and anticipation about how the brewery will shape its life in the future.

KBS 2TV weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM.
