Reflecting on her experience filming “We Are All Trying Here,” Go Youn Jung remarked, “Because I was filming with more experienced actors, there was so much for me to learn, and because there was so many great lines in the dialogue, I think I filmed the drama with a happy heart.”

“I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who tuned in,” continued the actress, before addressing her character directly to say a final goodbye. “Eun Ah, you worked so, so hard. As much as you have suffered, there will only be good things in your future. I hope there will only be peace and serenity in your life.”

Summing the drama up in one word, Oh Jung Se described “We Are All Trying Here” as “precious.” “I was excited to have been able to be a part of such a precious drama, I was happy while filming this precious drama, and I’m truly sad to be saying goodbye to this precious drama,” said the actor. “Because I was able to work with such precious people, I think I was able to make this a year full of meaning.”

Meanwhile, Kang Mal Geum became emotional at having to say goodbye to the drama, commenting, “I’m tearing up at the thought that ‘We Are All Trying Here’ is ending. I was truly grateful for your deep interest and love. I was happy throughout the time I spent living in the world of the drama, as well as the time I spent watching the drama together with all of you as a viewer.”

She continued, “I must now leave my sorrow behind and go write my own story, a story that shines bright. Since I’m someone who made it through ‘We Are All Trying Here.’ I must open a thousand doors and keep moving forward!”

Finally, Han Sun Hwa shared, “I, too, feel sad that it’s already the end. When I first received the script, I really enjoyed reading it, but watching it on screen made it even more fun and more moving, so for a while, I think I enjoyed ‘We Are All Trying Here’ as a fan, just like all of you.”

“Thanks to the support you gave Jang Mi Ran and the joy you shared, I felt grateful once more for having been able to play Jang Mi Ran, and I also felt rewarded as an actor,” she continued. “Thank you so much for watching and joining us up until now.”

Jeon Yeo Been And More Confirmed Alongside Jung Kyung Ho For New Rom-Com

Jung Kyung Ho, Jeon Yeo Been, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kang Mal Geum will be teaming up for the new drama “Unshakable Forties’ Romance” (literal translation).

“Unshakable Forties’ Romance” is a bewitching story about a man and a woman in their forties—an age said to be unmoved by temptation—who find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. A star anchor suffering from early andropause and a third rate writer who used to be his sworn enemy try to revive a ratings-bottomed program—only to end up reviving each other’s long-withered “romance cells.”

Jung Kyung Ho was previously confirmed to play Na Yi Jun, YCB newsroom’s star anchor. He grew up without major hardships in an ordinary middle-class family, scored a perfect score on the college entrance exam, and became the youngest anchor ever—an exceptional figure. However, he is told to step down from the main news and eventually becomes in charge of a low-ratings program and meets Seo Hae Yoon, who appears to be without an ounce of elegance.

Jeon Yeo Been is set to star as writer Seo Hae Yoon, who chases after sensational news and viewership. Having worked across various news stations over 10 years, Seo Hae Yoon has faced all sorts of hardship. If it’s for the sake of increasing viewership, Seo Hae Yoon doesn’t care if the news is gossip. With her life in chaos due to her program being about to be shut down, she only faces even more chaos with the arrival of Na Yi Jun. Meeting at an age in which their hormones make their emotions even more confusing, the two will portray a mature romance as their love cells belated come to life.

Furthermore, Choi Dae Hoon and Kang Mal Geum will portray a realistic couple who meet after divorcing their previous partners.

Choi Dae Hoon will play YCB newsroom reporter Ji Han Soo. Although he wanted to become a news anchor like his close friend Na Yi Joon, he was unable to do so due to a critical pronunciation issue. Harboring wounds after being abandoned in his first marriage despite being loyal in love, he still dreams of romance.

Kang Mal Geum will transform into broadcast writer Heo Mi Eun who is like an older sister to Seo Hae Yoon. She prefers men who are loyal to her over a handsome face.

The production team shared, “After the first script reading, we will soon start filming. Along with Jung Kyung Ho and Jeon Yeo Been who promise to deliver buzz and acting talent, Choi Dae Hoon and Kang Mal Geum’s synergy will depict the strong taste of adult romance that is beyond perfection,” sharing that the drama will air in the first half of 2027.

Koo Kyo Hwan Can’t Hide His Nerves As He Takes First Step As Film Director In “We Are All Trying Here”

“We Are All Trying Here” has unveiled new stills ahead of its upcoming episode!

“We Are All Trying Here” tells the story of Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), an aspiring film director who, surrounded by successful friends, believes he is the only one whose life isn’t working out. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out on a journey in search of peace.

Spoilers

The upcoming Episode 9 will depict Hwang Dong Man finally landing the opportunity of a lifetime—his long-awaited directorial debut—after spending years dreaming of brighter days amid overwhelming feelings of worthlessness.

The newly released stills capture the pivotal moment when Hwang Dong Man visits the Film Promotion Association alongside Go Bak Film CEO Go Hye Jin (Kang Mal Geum) to sign his contract. Previously, Go Hye Jin boldly cut ties with the greed-driven Choi Dong Hyun (Choi Won Young) and Ma Jae Young (Kim Jong Hoon), choosing Hwang Dong Man’s screenplay “We Create the Weather For You” despite the risk of losing billions of won.

For Hwang Dong Man, who spent years alone in his room repeatedly practicing imaginary acceptance speeches for Best New Director awards, the selection of his script marks the beginning of his “fantasy” finally becoming reality. However, the “real ring” proves far from easy. His visibly tense expression in the stills sharply contrasts with Go Hye Jin’s steady and commanding gaze, hinting at the turbulent production journey ahead.

One of the key points to watch will be whether Hwang Dong Man—once merely a loud critic—can successfully lead over 200 difficult cast and crew members as a first-time director. As Go Hye Jin coldly warns him, “You have to step into the ring and take the hits yourself,” can he prove his worth in the far harsher reality of the film industry?

The production team shared, “Episode 9 will serve as an important turning point as Hwang Dong Man finally steps out of his world of imagination and into the real ‘ring.’ Please look forward to seeing how his unusual partnership with Go Hye Jin, made possible by her bold decision, navigates the challenges ahead, as well as Hwang Dong Man’s growth as a director.”

The next episode of “We Are All Trying Here” airs on May 18 at 10:40 p.m. KST!

Watch: Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, And More Try To Find Meaning In “We Are All Trying Here” Highlight Teaser

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” is gearing up for its premiere!

“We Are All Trying Here” tells the story of Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), who, surrounded by successful friends, believes he is the only one whose life isn’t working out. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out on a journey in search of peace.

Through its highlight teaser, “We Are All Trying Here” unveiled three key points in the drama.

1. Hwang Dong Man’s struggle

Hwang Dong Man is the only one to not have made his debut among his successful friends, who have all made a name for themselves in the film industry. Film producer Park Kyung Se (Oh Jung Se), who has released five films, comments, “He goes crazy when someone else succeeds and is crazy happy when they fail.” Go Hye Jin (Kang Mal Geum) notes that Hwang Dong Man makes chaos no matter where he goes, and Choi Hyo Jin (Park Ye Ni) expresses her wishes for Hwang Dong Man to be more quiet. However, Hwang Dong Man refutes, “There’s never been a moment where I’ve been quiet since I was born.” Although he wants to succeed, reality isn’t as easy, and Hwang Dong Man freely expresses his childish jealousy.

2. Hwang Dong Man and Byun Eun Ah’s support

While the world regards Hwang Dong Man’s monologues as noise, Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung) sees him as someone with a thousand open doors. Struggling with being abandoned when she was nine years old, Byun Eun Ah now experiences nosebleeds every time she feels emotional overload. Hwang Dong Man’s sincerity, “Who would dare to toss you away?” sets Byun Eun Ah free. Hwang Dong Man also smiles when he’s with Byun Eun Ah, with both their watches turning from red to green to signify “heart-fluttering excitement” and “relief” for the first time in their lives. As they cross their watches that have turned green, the two begin to save each other, creating anticipation to see how their special relationship will unfold.

3. A story of us, who are all trying

One of the key questions in the drama is, “Why are we all trying so hard as if we won’t disappear one day?” The teaser shows the characters of the drama not chasing after extravagant success but rather fighting to prove themselves. In addition to Hwang Dong Man, who has been unable to make his debut for 20 years, there is Byun Eun Ah fighting the fear of abandonment, Park Kyung Se who is also struggling like Hwang Dong Man despite claiming to be different, Go Hye Jin who is embarrassed by such a husband, former poet Hwang Jin Man (Park Hae Joon) who has fallen after experiencing incompetence, Oh Jung Hee (Bae Jong Ok) who is struggling with being a perfectionist, and Jang Mi Ran (Han Sun Hwa) who becomes too immersed in her roles—all fighting in their own ways.

As Jang Mi Ran states, “I’m happy. To have relationships like this where we can go crazy together,” the “worthlessness” felt by the characters turn into meaningful solidarity. The highlight teaser ends as Hwang Dong Man stating, “I’m not even looking for success. I just want to release one project. So that I can overcome a little bit of worthlessness.”

“We Are All Trying Here” will premiere on April 18 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
