KBS 2TV weekend drama 'For Eagle Brothers' (directed by Choi Sang-yeol and Lee Jin-ah, written by Koo Hyun-sook) captivates viewers with the actors' outstanding performances and unpredictable storylines, while also revisiting the captivating endings that make fans eagerly await the weekend.
# Episode 8: Baek Hae-seon is shocked to see Lee Seok-ki taken to the emergency room! 'Significant ending'
Chairman Han Dong-seok (played by Ahn Jae-wook) searched for his son Han-gyeol (played by Yoon Jun-won) to connect him with his daughter Dokgo-se-ri (played by Shin Seul-ki). However, there he encountered Oh Gang-su (played by Lee Seok-ki), who was brought to the emergency room unconscious, creating a sense of tension with her frozen expression. Mi-ae anxiously watched as Kang-su was taken into the operating room, hinting at the significance of why she had been protective of her husband Dokgo-tak (played by Choi Byung-mo), amplifying curiosity about the hidden story.
# Episode 10: Eoh Ji-won calls Lee Seok-ki back to the Eagle Spirit with a 'Cheerful ending'
Although Kang-su safely completed the surgery, he ultimately decided to leave the military due to his inability to continue service. Upon hearing this news, Ma Gwang-suk (played by Eom Ji-won) went directly to Kang-su's military unit and declared, 'Lieutenant Oh Gang-su will return home with the sister-in-law,' surprising everyone. This scene foreshadowed the dynamic story that would unfold as Kang-su entered the Eagle Spirit, raising expectations.
# Episode 12: Ahn Jae-wook misinterprets Eom Ji-won due to Choi Byung-mo's conspiracy, 'Conviction ending'
As Dong-seok's misunderstandings towards Gwang-suk deepened, he overheard a conversation between Gwang-suk and Kang So-yeon (played by Han Su-yeon) regarding the inheritance issue with the Eagle Spirit. To confirm his growing suspicions, Dong-seok met with Dokgo-tak, who dropped the decisive line, 'Gwang-suk is a flower snake full of poison.' This statement shifted Dong-seok’s disbelief into conviction, raising curiosity about whether Dong-seok and Gwang-suk could resolve their increasingly complicated misunderstandings.
# Episode 14: Ahn Jae-wook falls in front of Eom Ji-won! 'Hilarious ending'
By chance, Dong-seok witnessed Gwang-suk's golf date with her matchmaker Park Sang-nam (played by Gong Jeong-hwan). Not knowing Gwang-suk's circumstances, Dong-seok became unsettled seeing the two appearing very close. After receiving golf lessons from Sang-nam, Dong-seok swung while looking at Gwang-suk, causing a missed swing and a comical sliding fall at the end.
This particular scene elicited explosive reactions from viewers such as, 'I didn't know Ahn Jae-wook could be so comedic, it's too funny,' 'I'm so embarrassed. Just look at Gwang-suk laughing,' and 'How will Dong-seok face Gwang-suk after this embarrassment?'
