Oh Jung-se Becomes a Director Who Fails at the Box Office.. JTBC 'We Are All Trying Here' Character Stills Released

Actor Oh Jung-se delivers intense tension to the home theater as he becomes entangled in a bitter love-hate relationship with Koo Kyo-hwan.

On the 11th, the production team of JTBC's new drama 〈We Are All Trying Here〉 (hereafter 〈We Are All Trying Here〉) released stills of Oh Jung-se, who plays the film director Park Kyung-se, raising expectations for the work. 〈We Are All Trying Here〉 depicts the journey of a person who suffers from jealousy and envy, feeling left behind among successful friends, as he seeks true peace.

In the drama, Oh Jung-se plays Park Kyung-se, a director affiliated with the film company 'Gohak Film' and a successful friend of Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan). Park Kyung-se has built a solid career by directing five feature films, but he begins to experience inner turmoil after his ambitiously released film 'The Sister Without Arms' records a disastrous box office failure. Despite being recognized in the industry, he shows a complex side, feeling boundless anger at a single word from Hwang Dong-man, who has been aspiring to be a director for 20 years, and at a line he has written.

The released stills vividly capture the precarious psychology swirling behind the successful director Park Kyung-se. His appearance holding a microphone and stepping onto the stage exudes the composure of a veteran director, but behind his faint smile lies an inexplicable anxiety. In subsequent photos, he is seen staring at a monitor alone, consumed by anger in his work, or gritting his teeth with a stern expression, revealing a desperate struggle to prove that he is not a worthless being. Ironically, Park Kyung-se's intense reaction to the existence of a friend he most wants to ignore, combined with Oh Jung-se's unique ability to control the pace of his performance, is expected to deliver an extreme sense of reality and empathy.

JTBC's drama 〈We Are All Trying Here〉 will premiere on the night of April 18.
