Finally, some news about “We Are All Trying Here” that hits differently!
We just saw an interview with Director Cha Young-hun, and wow. He really laid it all out there about making the Netflix-JTBC series.
He talked about making characters like Koo Kyo Hwan, Oh Jung Se, and Park Hae Joon feel so, so human. Not just actors. Real people with real struggles. So relatable.
The vibe of the show? It’s raw. Honest. No bright, sugary coating.
Director Cha explained how important it was to explore why guys sometimes struggle with showing emotions. To show that it’s okay for men to feel things deeply. Super important.
He also tackled that big, scary fear: the fear of worthlessness. We all feel it sometimes, don’t we? The show brings that feeling right to the surface. It makes you think.
And here’s the kicker: the series doesn’t offer any magical cures. No quick fixes. Just honest storytelling about messy life. That’s a bold choice, and we respect it.
It’s refreshing to see a show that says, “Hey, life is hard, and sometimes there aren’t easy answers.” It’s an aesthetic of truth, unpolished and strong. Powerful stuff.
Speaking of real feelings, have you seen James Van Der Beek’s wife sharing sweet Father’s Day love? It reminds us that all kinds of human connections matter.

Our Take
We think this approach from Director Cha Young-hun is brilliant. It’s brave to make a series that doesn’t shy away from the messy parts of being human. Especially when it comes to feelings often hidden away. No wonder the show resonates so much. It makes us feel seen. And that’s powerful.
