“We Are All Trying Here” Shares Heartfelt Message About Finding Value In Simply Existing In Special Ending Poster

As JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” has come to an end, the drama has unveiled a special new film poster!

“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.

On May 25, the drama’s production team released a special film poster capturing the emotions and message of the series.

The newly unveiled poster portrays the lives of characters who each battled feelings of worthlessness, presenting their stories like scenes from a film reel. Even amid the emptiness of life, the traces of people declaring “I exist” leave behind a quiet yet powerful resonance, once again highlighting the drama’s central message.

Through its emotional storytelling and striking cinematography, the series depicted people searching for comfort and stability despite living with depression and anxiety.

The drama especially resonated with viewers through its honest portrayal of emotions many people carry but rarely speak about—such as anxiety, jealousy, and shame that persist even after achieving success.

“We Are All Trying Here” questioned a society where people constantly feel pressured to prove their worth. The series delivered the heartfelt message that people do not need extraordinary achievements to have value—their existence alone is enough.

It also offered warmth and comfort by suggesting that lives which may feel tragic up close can eventually become something people are able to laugh about.

Above all, the drama emphasized the power of solidarity through the shared realization that “I’m not the only one struggling.” By showing how people find strength in embracing each other’s loneliness and imperfections, the series left viewers with a deep and lasting impression.

“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.”

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!”

Kim Dong Wook To Make Special Appearance In “We Are All Trying Here”

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” has shared a sneak peek of Kim Dong Wook’s upcoming special appearance!

“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

Previously on “We Are All Trying Here,” Hwang Dong Man succeeded in casting A-list actor No Gang Sik (Sung Dong Il) for his debut film, seemingly marking the start of a flourishing career as a director. However, there was one shadow looming over his promising start: the fact that No Gang Sik is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. No Gang Sik is a toxic veteran actor who has deliberately intimidated any junior actors that he feels might outshine him, and there were even rumors that he recently hit a younger actor.

On the next episode of the drama, Kim Dong Wook will make a special appearance as the younger actor rumored to have been physically assaulted by No Gang Sik. Newly released stills from the upcoming episode capture the two men facing off in a tense confrontation, with neither actor willing to back down.

The “We Are All Trying Here” production team commented, “Thanks to the explosive and passionate performance of actor Kim Dong Wook, who readily agreed to make a special appearance despite his busy schedule, the dramatic quality and suspense [of the scene] were significantly heightened. Please look forward to not only the taut acting teamwork between him and actor Sung Dong Il, who is also making a special appearance, but the satisfying chemistry between them and Koo Kyo Hwan as well.”

To catch Kim Dong Wook’s special appearance, tune in to the next episode of “We Are All Trying Here” on May 23 at 10:40 p.m. KST!

3 Reasons Why Jun Ji Hyun And Ji Chang Wook’s New Zombie Thriller Film “Colony” Is A Must-Watch

Director Yeon Sang Ho’s new film “Colony” has unveiled three key points viewers should look forward to!

Helmed by “Train to Busan” and “Peninsula” director Yeon Sang Ho, “Colony” tells the story of survivors trapped in a building that has been blockaded due to an unknown virus as those infected evolve into unpredictable forms.

1. A New Species Beyond Traditional Zombies

The first major highlight is the overwhelming suspense created by a new type of infected unlike anything audiences have seen before. Having long explored social anxiety and human nature through the zombie genre, Yeon Sang Ho now presents even more evolved infected beings in this latest work.

The infected in “Colony” move in groups and share information, displaying attack methods and behavior patterns completely different from traditional zombies. Their unpredictable movements intensify the desperate battle between survivors and the infected.

2. A Powerful Ensemble Cast

The second point to watch is the star-studded cast lineup.

Returning to the big screen for the first time in 11 years, Jun Ji Hyun takes center stage as Kwon Se Jung, the leader of the survivors. Joining her are Koo Kyo Hwan as genius biologist Seo Young Cheol, who causes the outbreak; Ji Chang Wook as Choi Hyun Seok, who fights for survival; Shin Hyun Been as Gong Seol Hee, who works to resolve the crisis; Kim Shin Rok as Choi Hyun Hee, who continues helping others amid the chaos; and Go Soo as Han Kyu Seong, who risks his life to return to the dangerous scene.

The actors, each bringing distinct personalities and backstories, are expected to create a highly immersive and powerful acting ensemble.

3. Unique Choreography and Immersive Visual Spectacle

The third highlight lies in the infected creatures’ unique visuals and the production team behind them.

In particular, the eerie movements created through collaboration with dancers deliver a type of fear distinctly different from conventional zombies. The stunt team led by action director Heo Myeong Haeng—known for work on “The Roundup: Punishment” and “Badland Hunters”—joined forces with CELL, the special makeup team led by Hwang Hyo Gyun, who previously brought the zombies of “Train to Busan” to life. Together, they created vivid action sequences and highly original creature designs.

Large-scale sets, immersive filming techniques, and stylish production design are also expected to pull audiences directly into the story. The film aims to deliver a survival experience that feels as though viewers are wandering through the building alongside the survivors, maximizing the thrill of watching it in theaters.
