We Are All Trying Here

After 20 years trying to make his debut film, Hwang Dong-man flails through life, irritating his director friends — until one day he meets Byeon Eun-a.

While Dong-man deals with rock bottom, Ko Hye-jin delivers devastating news. Meanwhile, Eun-a seeks counseling as she struggles at work.

Dong-man slowly grows closer to Eun-a. Later, he makes an enemy of Park Gyeong-se — whose film opens to negative critical reception.

Gyeong-se sets his revenge against Dong-man in motion — playing dirty. Meanwhile, Eun-a faces mounting hostility and pressure at work.

Tired of enduring contempt from his peers, Dong-man confronts Gyeong-se. He later chastises Ma Jae-yeong over his relationship with Eun-a.

Dong-man rushes to share a meal with Eun-a — but is met with a surprise. Later, Eun-a receives a phone call that stops her in her tracks.
