Actress Uhm Ji-won's blossoming acting skills are shining on the weekend.
The KBS2 weekend drama "For Eagle Brothers," featuring Uhm Ji-won, achieved its highest viewership rating of 21.6% (according to Nielsen Korea, based on all households nationwide) during its broadcast on the 30th, confirming viewers' intense interest.
Uhm Ji-won has created a "relationship hotspot" with her solid performance that enriches the narratives between characters in "For Eagle Brothers," enhancing viewer immersion and filling the weekend home with excitement.
The performance of Ma Gwang-sook (Uhm Ji-won) continued during last weekend's broadcast. After an unintended quarrel with Oh Chun-su (Choi Dae-cheol)'s wife, Kang So-yeon (Han Soo-yeon), she found herself in a holding cell; however, this served as a catalyst for Oh Chun-su to return to the Eagle Brothers.
Additionally, changes have occurred in the relationship with LX Hotel Chairman Han Dong-seok (An Jae-wook). During a final review meeting for the festival, Gwang-sook, who attended at Dong-seok's invitation, got drunk and caused trouble again, but Dong-seok remarked, "You definitely are a nuisance. But you're not unlikable," suggesting that their relationship is gradually changing.
In this way, Uhm Ji-won is building relationships with the characters, solidifying the drama's development as a "relationship hotspot." The relationship that began between brothers as a sister-in-law and brother-in-law has now transformed into that of an irreplaceable older sister and younger brothers. Gwang-sook's role was pivotal in bringing in Oh Kang-su (Lee Seok-ki), the youngest of the Eagle Brothers, and the second youngest, Oh Chun-su.
The same goes for the remaining brothers, the third Oh Heung-su (Kim Dong-wan) and the fourth Oh Beom-su (Yoon Park). They showed that they rely heavily on Gwang-sook, as they sought her out first whenever problems arose. The warm stories these now complete family members share fill the weekend home with a cozy atmosphere.
The relationship with Han Dong-seok, which started with "Karma," has also changed. The two have welcomed change as misunderstandings surrounding Gwang-sook were resolved, and the usually sharp Dong-seok, when looking at Gwang-sook, now wears a subtle smile, sparking curiosity about their future story.
Uhm Ji-won's portrayal of Ma Gwang-sook has been more than enough to captivate weekend viewers. Uhm has been responsible for the laughter of the audience with her unpredictable actions, while her warm humanity has heated up the atmosphere in the home. It's only natural that viewers eagerly await Uhm Ji-won's appearances. Her presence not only changes the drama's atmosphere but also layers the plot more intricately, making it even more enjoyable.
Thanks to Uhm Ji-won's dedicated performance, "For Eagle Brothers" has been soaring to new heights each week. Not only has the viewership increased, but its buzz has also been substantiated. Uhm Ji-won's impactful performance has shone even brighter as the drama progresses, showcasing what it means to be a trustworthy and talented actress.
