Ahn Jae-wook‘s feelings for Uhm Ji-won began to waver.

In episode 18 of KBS2’s 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 30th, Han Dong-seok (played by Ahn Jae-wook) was shown feeling fluttered by Ma Kwang-sook (played by Uhm Ji-won). The viewership ratings for that day‘s broadcast recorded 21.6% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all households nationwide), ranking first among all programs aired on the weekend, continuing its meteoric rise. In addition, the 2049 viewership rating, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, recorded 3.6%, proving its high topicality by ranking first in the same time slot.

In the broadcast that day, Gwang-sook struggled to brew the dream liquor that her late husband Oh Jang-soo (played by Lee Pil-mo) wanted to make. Unlike Gwang-sook, who is learning how to make yeast and working hard, Dok-go Tak (played by Choi Byung-mo) heightens the tension by devising a scheme to shake up the Eagle Brewery.

Oh Cheon-soo (played by Choi Dae-chul) divorced his wife Kang So-yeon (played by Han Soo-yeon). Cheon-soo, who was shocked by So-yeon’s consistently shameless attitude, gave her a broken wedding ring and turned away coldly. After that, he announced that he would stand up again with a new determination.

On the other hand, Dong-seok‘s unexpected appearance added to the fun to watch. He happened to overhear Gwang-sook talking to people. Dong-seok smiled happily when Gwang-sook protected him. However, he was upset when Gwang-sook firmly drew the line at the following compliment on his appearance, saying, “That’s exactly the type of person I hate.”

Meanwhile, Oh Heung-soo (played by Kim Dong-wan) was worried about Kim Sun-hwa (played by Ahn Mi-na) who was absent from her dance lessons. Heung-soo, who didn‘t know that Seon-hwa had disappeared, waited for her in front of the piano academy. Upon seeing this, Ji-gok-bun (played by Yoo In-young) said, “Even if you keep it like this, Director Kim won’t show up.”

In the meantime, a cold atmosphere still flowed between Gwang-sook and Dong-seok, who met to decide on a food that would go well with Jang Gwang-ju. Dong-seok repeatedly apologized to Gwang-sook for the past misunderstanding, but showed his suspicions. In response, Gwang-sook said, “No matter how much the chairman is the superior who receives the supplies and this Gwang-sook is a worthless inferior, you shouldn‘t blindly suspect people and look at them with colored glasses. That’s bullying,” and gave them a cider.

After that, Gwang-sook got drunk and mistook Dong-seok‘s car for a taxi. Dong-seok, who was dumbfounded, decided to take Gwang-sook to the bar. Gwang-sook fell asleep in the car, and Dong-seok’s heart raced as he watched her sleep on his shoulder.

At the end of the broadcast, Gwang-sook was surprised to hear from her mother, Princess Sil (played by Park Joon-geum), that she came home in Dong-seok‘s car. She went to see Dong-seok and teased him about their misunderstandings and mistakes. Dong-seok ended the episode by saying meaningful words to Gwang-sook, “CEO Ma is the real deal. That’s right. But he‘s not mean.” As Dong-seok’s feelings toward Gwang-sook changed, curiosity about how their relationship will change in the next episode aroused.

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