‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ The chemistry between Uhm Ji-won and Ahn Jae-wook is really exploding.

In episodes 7 and 8 of the KBS2 weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ (directed by Choi Sang-yeol, Lee Jin-ah / written by Koo Hyun-sook) aired on the 22nd and 23rd, Ma Kwang-sook (played by Uhm Ji-won) finds out that Han Dong-seok (played by Ahn Jae-wook) is the president of LX Hotel, doubling the fun of the drama. The viewership ratings for the 8th episode recorded 20.1% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all households nationwide), showing a steady upward trend, and the scene where Gwang-sook says to Dong-seok, who is eating alone, “Shall I eat with you?” broke the highest viewership rating per minute of 21.8%.

Here we take a look back at the amazing chemistry between Gwang-sook and Dong-seok that led to the rise in viewership ratings.

● Dong-seok, a tsundere who accepts all of Gwang-sook‘s drunkenness

Gwang-sook’s drunken appearance at the LX Hotel dinner party brought a big laugh to the viewers. Dong-seok felt sorry for Gwang-sook who cried while looking for her dead husband Oh Jang-soo (played by Lee Pil-mo), and was at a loss when she mistook him for Jang-soo. Dong-seok couldn‘t just leave Gwang-sook drunk, but he stayed by her side and showed off his tsundere side. Furthermore, he took Gwang-sook’s phone call and took care of her until the end, revealing a surprising charm hidden behind his cold exterior. After that, the two met again to return the cell phone she had left behind and continued their relationship.

● Gwang-sook who chatters and Dong-seok who watches her

The scene where Gwang-sook mistakes Dong-seok for the hotel doorman was another fun point. Dong-seok met Gwang-sook to give him the cell phone he found at the dinner party. Gwang-sook, who thought Dong-seok was working as a doorman for a long time, advised him, “You’re old, so don’t spend too much money on things like cultural activities, and save it well.” He continued, “If you want to live proudly without asking your children for money when you’re old, you should start saving it well now,” and they continued to chatter endlessly. Dong-seok, who was taken aback, got up from his seat as if he was being kicked, and Gwang-sook greeted him brightly, saying, “Thank you every time. You’ll be blessed,” causing everyone to laugh.

● Expect new chemistry between Gwang-sook, a liquor maker, and Dong-seok, the president of LX Hotel.

The drama gradually changed as Gwang-sook learned Dong-seok’s true identity. Gwang-sook went to the hotel to taste Jang Gwang-ju (a liquor named after Gwang-sook and Jang-su) and found out that Dong-seok was the president of the hotel. He heard from the staff that Dong-seok recommended Jang Gwang-ju and apologized to Dong-seok for his previous rude behavior along with expressing his gratitude. Now, the next episode is anticipated to see how the two people who met as the representative of the Eagles and the president of the hotel will get involved in the future.

The character synergy of Gwang-sook and Dong-seok is further solidifying the narrative of the drama with the passionate acting of Uhm Ji-won and Ahn Jae-wook. The rich and colorful story that will unfold around them is raising expectations for future developments.

The 9th episode of KBS 2TV weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ will air on Saturday, March 1 at 8 PM.
