KBS 2TV’s Emotion-Powered Drama OST Steals Hearts This Spring

This spring, KBS 2TV’s weekend drama ‘Please Take Care of the Eagle Brothers!’ is offering more than just compelling storytelling—its soundtrack is winning over viewers across South Korea. The latest addition to its OST Part 3, ‘Who Are You’, performed by Nerd Connection (featuring lead vocal Seo Young-joo), dropped on April 21 and immediately shot up the charts, igniting fan excitement.

The drama, produced by DK E&M and directed by Choi Sang-yeol and Lee Jin-ah, revolves around a unique family saga in a traditional Korean brewery run by five distinctive brothers. After the sudden death of her husband, the eldest sister-in-law becomes the head of the household, weaving a warm, sometimes heart-wrenching, story of family resilience. Its growing audience loyalty is evident, as the episode aired on April 20 recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 20.7%—establishing the show as a weekend TV heavyweight.

What particularly stands out is the musical contribution of Nerd Connection’s track ‘Who Are You.’ The single’s success was immediate and wide-ranging. It quickly climbed multiple charts: No. 5 on the real-time ringtone chart, No. 8 on the coloring chart, and ranked No. 10 on the general popularity chart. This instant traction demonstrates Nerd Connection’s powerful fanbase and resonant musical appeal.

Adding visual magic to the emotional melody, the music video depicts a cherry blossom-filled moment between characters played by Ahn Jae-wook and Uhm Ji-won. As the two sit under falling petals, sharing headphones, the scene perfectly matches the soul-stirring vocals, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The video surpassed 23,000 views within days of release, emphasizing the growing interest in the OST.

Complementing the full MV, the behind-the-scenes performance shorts—showing Seo Young-joo’s live vocal session—went viral on social platforms. The clip highlights the lyric “What should I do if my heart keeps growing?”, showcasing the vocalist’s emotive voice and captivating presence.

The song’s unique tone and emotional depth have led fans to crown it as the next big ‘cherry blossom confession song,’ joining the ranks of iconic spring melodies like ‘Cherry Blossom Ending’ and ‘Spring Day.’ Korean netizens flooded social channels with praise: “It’s the first time I’ve waited for an OST to play during a drama like this,” one user shared. Others commented, “Seo Young-joo’s voice is unbelievably soulful,” and “Right after downloading, I set it as my ringtone!”

It’s official: ‘Please Take Care of the Eagle Brothers!’ is now also an OST powerhouse, stirring hearts not just through its plot but through the immersive sonic experience it delivers each week. With Nerd Connection’s contribution, it’s clear that the drama’s musical journey is just as unforgettable as its story arc.
