In addition, we were able to hear special points of interest from the five brothers. Choi Max-cheol said, “There are many points to watch, such as the brothers‘ friendship as well as their love, so I think you should focus on those,” and Kim Dong-wan said, “I’m really looking forward to it, but I‘m also really looking forward to the stories of other people and other families. I believe you’re all looking forward to it, too.”
Yoon Park also introduced it as “a family-like and warm drama,” and Lee Seok-ki said, “I would be grateful if you focused on the characters, each with their own charm.” Lastly, Lee Pil-mo said, “I think you can just watch it with a warm heart,” raising interest in the first episode.
