Earlier this year, Go Youn Jung captured attention through the Netflix drama Can This Love Be Translated? , where her on-screen pairing with Kim Seon Ho sparked widespread “pink light” dating buzz among fans. Now, she is set to return with a completely different tone in JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama We Are All Trying Here .
The production team recently unveiled script-reading stills and behind-the-scenes footage featuring a powerhouse cast including Koo Kyo Hwan, Oh Jung Se, Park Hae Joon, and more. Koo Kyo Hwan takes on the role of Hwang Dong Man, a film director struggling with insecurity behind his title, delivering a deeply immersive performance that reportedly dominated the rehearsal atmosphere.
Go Youn Jung plays Byun Eun Ah, a sharp and charismatic film producer known for her ruthless script critiques, earning her the nickname “axe.” Beneath her cold professionalism lies emotional depth, and her character is described as the only person who truly sees and understands Hwang Dong Man.
The relationship between the two characters is expected to be a key highlight, with both actors hinting at a unique emotional synergy. “They become each other’s only safe zone, turning feelings of worthlessness into something meaningful,” the actors shared.
Written by Park Hae Young and directed by Cha Young Hoon, the drama explores the inner struggles of individuals surrounded by more successful peers. It follows characters grappling with jealousy, insecurity, and the desire to prove their own worth in a competitive creative industry.
The cast expressed strong confidence in the project, emphasizing its relatable themes and emotional depth. “This is a story about all of us, fighting to prove our value,” they said, adding that viewers will likely find themselves reflecting on each episode long after it airs.
