Actor Ahn Jae-wook is showcasing a unique charm characteristic of the 'original romanticist' in 'For Eagle Brothers!', leading to a rise in viewership ratings.

The KBS 2TV weekend drama 'For Eagle Brothers!' (directed by Choi Sang-yeol and Lee Jin-ah, written by Koo Hyeon-sook, produced by DK E&M) tells the well-ripened family story of the five unique brothers from the long-standing traditional brewery, who unexpectedly become the head of the family after their husband's sudden death just ten days after marriage. Since its first broadcast, it has achieved the highest viewership ratings ever, driving the resurgence of KBS 2TV's weekend dramas.

Ahn Jae-wook takes on the role of Han Dong-seok, the chairman of LX Hotel, who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has only learned about poverty from books. He captivates viewers with his overwhelming charm as the ultimate 'original romanticist' and has become the savior of KBS weekend dramas.

Ahn Jae-wook portrays Han Dong-seok, who has a straightforward character where right and wrong are clear and must control everything from family to staff according to his will, yet he harbors the longing of not being able to forget the wife he lost 15 years ago, proving the essence of the 'romantic tsundere' character. Ahn Jae-wook delicately expresses the warm and kind character of 'tsundere middle-aged man' Han Dong-seok, who has a cold and prickly demeanor, thus enhancing the immersion in the drama.

In particular, Ahn Jae-wook vividly delivers the detailed emotional changes that oscillate between tsundere charisma and heart-fluttering excitement, proving the dignity of the 'original romanticist.' Additionally, Ahn Jae-wook showcases a significant amplitude of emotions with flexible pacing and portrays Han Dong-seok in a way that fits him perfectly, leading to a 'Korean version of Love Actually.' Although he initially puts up a wall with sharp words towards Ma Gwang-sook (Eom Ji-won), he later reveals his charm by dropping his aloofness and apologizing first after learning about her sad backstory.

Furthermore, Ahn Jae-wook uses his fearless acting, which does not shy away from comedy and clumsiness, to evoke laughter and empathy from viewers. During a VIP golf lesson, he unexpectedly rolled onto the golf course grass while focusing on Ma Gwang-sook, which led to a burst of laughter. Additionally, he vividly expressed Han Dong-seok's realization about blaming Ma Gwang-sook as a femme fatale and reflecting on his mistake, generating laughter with his facial expressions, eyes, and gestures.

In particular, Ahn Jae-wook completes his perfect suit fit with dandy and luxurious fashion, leading to capturing the hearts of women as the 'original romanticist.' With excellent acting skills and seasoned emotional expressions, Ahn Jae-wook, armed with various charms from head to toe, delivers unique fun and joy in every episode, proving himself as a key player in the box office success of 'For Eagle Brothers.'

Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-wook heightened expectations for the future by appearing at the end of the 18th episode with a flower smile towards Ma Gwang-sook as 'romanticist' Han Dong-seok. When Ma Gwang-sook apologized for being rude, he responded, 'President Ma, you are indeed a nuisance. But you are not detestable,' showing an unprecedented warm smile. Ma Gwang-sook was surprised by Han Dong-seok's demeanor, foreseeing a spark igniting in their romance.

The production team noted, 'Ahn Jae-wook has returned to the home theater after a long time, showcasing his charm as the 'original romanticist' properly,' and added, 'Please look forward to Ahn Jae-wook's performance, which will completely captivate the home theater with richer sensibility, romantic aspects, and abundant expressiveness.'
