We Are All Trying Here

BOTH ARE:
Hyper-Realistic slice of life, dealing with inner demons/psychology of people in the movie/drama making industry.
Relatable dialogues for any human.

Ensemble cast.

Both We Are All Trying Here and Call It Love are deeply atmospheric "healing melodramas" for a grounded, slow-burn exploration of human exhaustion and loneliness. They are stylistically similar in their use of muted cinematography and a deliberate pace to mirror the internal burnout of their protagonists. The romance in both series is characterized by a quiet, observational intimacy where love is expressed through shared silences and small acts of protection rather than grand gestures. Ultimately, both dramas share a core emotional theme.

Dong-Man is a characters who’s annoying, talks loudly, gets on his friends nerves, feels worthless and his friends believe that. They don’t see the person who has felt inadequate for 20 years, and is friends with people who’s always successful and have a great support network.
Kim Nak-Su is a man who looks down on his subordinates because he’s also looked down on. He was so afraid to be his own person, he became the rude, and power trip of a boss but deep down he was battling his insecurities of being like his parent, being left behind in a world that was more youth oriented and new faces. A world that’s so merciless it cuts you behind as soon as it’s leeched you dry
The shared rhetoric in this drama is its characterisation. how a character can be made so annoying and hated yet compelling.

Both follow people going through spells of depression and tiredness of life as they try to worl through their issues

the vibe is really similar when i first saw an edit of WAATH the atmosphere just felt really similar the storyline are really different and i think the fls are really similar whilst the mls are quiet different but the vibe and everything is pretty much identical to each other i think if you liked the slice of life and melodrama of IYRS youll love WAATH theyre both also newer releases just check it out

Both are about facing life's hardships, meeting a loving partner, and healing each other. Plus, they're both dramas from the same writer.

written by the same writer, this one explores the weight of adult responsibilities and deep human connections, with characters struggling with failure and loneliness. like the new drama, it really digs into emotional introspection and people facing their insecurities head on.
