The drama “We Are All Trying Here” continues to unveil its universe with a new teaser focusing on the relationship between its two main characters, played by Koo Kyo-hwan and Go Youn-jung.
Through images that are both intense and touching, the drama highlights an atypical relationship between two fragile beings in search of meaning and comfort.
Characters marked by their flaws
Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan) is a man out of step with the world around him. Surrounded by seemingly successful friends, he's convinced he's the only one stagnating. Behind his talkative, almost intrusive demeanor lies a deep-seated anxiety and fear of being forgotten.
At his side, Byun Eun-ah (Go Youn-jung) appears as his opposite. A producer known for her sharp critical eye, she tries to maintain control in all circumstances. Yet she too hides a deep-seated fragility, marked by a trauma that manifests itself physically when she's overwhelmed by her emotions.
In the teaser, one sentence perfectly sums up her perception of Dong-man: «He looks like someone with 1,000 open doors.» A way of revealing the inner wealth of a man that others struggle to understand.
A relationship that becomes a refuge
As the images unfold, the bond between Dong-man and Eun-ah gradually builds. Both on the bangs of society's expectations, they find comfort in each other.
We discover them running into the night together, sharing simple but essential moments, far from the gaze of others. Their relationship evolves from an unexpected encounter to a deeper connection.
At one point, Eun-ah states, «I want to discover this world.» A statement that hints at a turning point in their relationship and personal evolution.
The production team insisted on this dimension: «We'll have to pay attention to the process by which 2 people blocked by their anxiety learn to feel appeased thanks to the other», underlining the strength of this bond which acts as a real refuge.
“We Are All Trying Here” will be broadcast from April 18 at 10:40pm (Korean time) on JTBC and available on Netflix.
