The new series stars Koo Kyo Hwan and Go Yoon Jung as the main leads, alongside Oh Jung Se, Kang Mal Geum, and Park Hae Joon. The strong casting alone has already sparked buzz among drama fans.

We Are All Trying Here marks the return of writer Park Hae Young, known for hit works such as My Mister and My Liberation Notes.

In particular, We Are All Trying Here will be Koo Kyo Hwan’s first lead role in a TV drama, making it a meaningful project in his career. Go Yoon Jung also takes on another major role as she continues her steady rise as one of the most talked about actresses of her generation.

With its strong creative team and star filled cast, We Are All Trying Here is already shaping up to be one of JTBC’s most anticipated dramas. The series is scheduled to air in the first half of 2026.
