Han Dong-seok Realizes His Feelings for Ma Gwang-sook in 'Eagle Brothers'

In the latest episode of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'Eagle Brothers' (독수리 5형제를 부탁해!), which aired on April 6, 2025, Han Dong-seok (안재욱) finally comes to terms with his feelings for Ma Gwang-sook (엄지원). The episode, which is the 20th in the series, captivated audiences with a gripping storyline featuring the 'Suldoga Couple.' It achieved a remarkable viewership rating of 21.7% according to Nielsen Korea, making it the top-rated program of the weekend, with a 4% rating among the coveted 2049 demographic.

The episode showcased a tense confrontation between Gwang-sook, Dong-seok, and Park Sang-nam (공정환). Gwang-sook was caught off guard when she unexpectedly ran into Sang-nam during a work-related visit, leading to an awkward dinner invitation. The atmosphere remained chilly until Dong-seok joined them, creating an undercurrent of tension.

Sang-nam expressed his discomfort, telling Dong-seok, "If I’ve given you several signals, shouldn’t you take the hint and leave?" To which Dong-seok replied, "I came to protect you in case anything unpleasant happened," escalating the tension further. Gwang-sook's anger flared as she learned the reason for Sang-nam's visit, leading to a physical altercation that turned the dinner into chaos.

Meanwhile, a different dynamic unfolded between Oh Cheon-soo (최대철) and Moon Mi-soon (박효주). After successfully presenting at a convenience store headquarters, Cheon-soo brought a cake to Mi-soon, watching her sleep without waking her, which sparked curiosity about whether their relationship could evolve beyond friendship.

In another subplot, Ji Ok-bun (유인영) bid farewell to Kim Sun-hwa (안미나), who was moving away. Ok-bun generously offered to cover Sun-hwa's daughter's snack expenses and invited her to visit her salon for a free perm in the future. Sun-hwa shook hands with Ok-bun, leaving with a promise to take care of her teacher, Heung-soo (흥수).

Heung-soo was shocked by Sun-hwa's sudden move and mistakenly blamed Ok-bun, who firmly stated, "There must be a reason she can't talk about. Forget it; she won't come back just because you beg."

In a lighter moment, Gwang-sook and Dong-seok enjoyed a fun time at a rest area, where Dong-seok successfully won a toy, prompting Gwang-sook to compliment him, saying, "You have the magic touch!" Their playful high-five revealed Dong-seok's growing feelings for Gwang-sook.

As the episode concluded, Dong-seok's heart raced when Gwang-sook checked in on him, leading to a self-realization moment that left viewers eager to see how their relationship will develop in future episodes.

Fans reacted enthusiastically, sharing comments like, "I can't believe Dong-seok has such a touching backstory!" and "Dong-seok rushing to protect Gwang-sook is so cool!" The show continues to air every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM.
