For Eagle Brothers First Impression

Rain on your wedding day is often considered a sign of good luck, but for Jang-soo, it's far from it. From failing to crack the object, seeing her wedding dress, etc. #ForEagleBrothersEp1 was filled with bad omens. It's a shame, he's so honest and kind. #ForEagleBrothers.

#ForEagleBrothersEp1 was quite enjoyable! I'm tempted to say We're So Back, but let's not get carried away since it's only the first episode. That said, all the ingredients for an enjoyable weekend drama are here. Already picked my favorite characters!

Loved the first episode. We even had a kiss between Lee Pilmo and Uhm Jiwon in first episode. Loved both of them together which will make it even more painful for what's to come very soon.

The singing scene at the meeting with Gwang Sook and her mom when both Jang Soo and Gwang Sook starts singing made me teary. I liked both of them from the first episode. Gonna hurt soon. Good writing and acting by both Lee Pilmo and Uhm Jiwon.

People need to start watching this too. Hope kbs weekend drama can get back to strong ratings with this one.
