Here we go again with the main content that only ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ has that you can’t take your eyes off of for even a second.
● The story of running a liquor store like never before, Yeoju Ma Gwang-sook
After the death of her husband Oh Jang-soo (played by Lee Pil-mo), Gwang-sook opened the second act of her life by running the liquor store alone. Her determination to take responsibility for the liquor store despite everyone‘s opposition showed her strong side as she pioneered her own life. After much research and effort, Gwang-sook perfected Jang Gwang-ju (a liquor named after Gwang-sook and Jang-soo), and she grew into a respectable CEO by personally signing a supply contract for a large hotel, bringing a warm smile to the viewers’ faces. However, the liquor store faces a crisis due to the interference of Silla Brewery Dokgo Tak (played by Choi Byung-mo) and the sudden appearance of her sister-in-law So-yeon. Indeed, expectations are rising for the next broadcast as to whether the strong-willed Gwang-sook will be able to protect the Sooldoga.
● The strong brotherhood of Oh Cheon-soo, Oh Heung-soo, Oh Beom-soo, and Oh Kang-soo
The warm camaraderie of the Sooldoga brothers warmed up the living rooms. The second son Cheon-soo filled the oldest brother‘s empty spot, and Heung-soo took on the role of mood maker for the brothers. The fourth son Oh Beom-soo (played by Yoon Park) may seem cold on the outside but has a deeper love for his family than anyone else, and the youngest son Oh Kang-soo (played by Lee Seok-ki) is always dependable, mediating conflicts that arise between his brothers and playing a trustworthy role. In particular, when Kang-soo decides to be discharged due to an injury, the brothers gathered together and showed their genuine concern, and the part where they warmly welcomed Kang-soo after his discharge deeply moved the viewers.
● A drama that allows a glimpse into various relationships
The various love lines incorporated into ‘Please Take Care of the Five Eagle Brothers!’ added to the fun of the drama. Gwang-sook and Han Dong-seok (played by Ahn Jae-wook), who are constantly bickering, have become even more estranged since the white porcelain incident with Gong Joo-sil (played by Park Joon-geum), and the viewers’ curiosity was stimulated as to when the two would be able to get closer. Also, an unprecedented incident occurred where Ok-bun fainted upon witnessing Heung-soo and Seon-hwa‘s proposal, and it became a point of anticipation for the next episode as to whether she would give up on Heung-soo.
In addition, the story of Beom-soo and Dokgo Se-ri (Shin Seul-gi), who quickly became close through Cheon-soo and Moon Mi-soon (Park Hyo-joo), who always gave each other warm comfort and strength, and their daughter Oh Ha-ni (Lee Bom), and the heart-fluttering story of Kang-soo and Han-bom (Kim Seung-yoon) was enough to enrich the drama.
‘Please Take Care of the 5 Eagle Brothers!’ with such a colorful charm is stimulating the desire to watch every episode with its vivid characters and solid narrative.
‘Please Take Care of the 5 Eagle Brothers!’ Episode 13 will air on the 15th (Sat) at 8 PM.
