The 12 episode format is ruining endings. Writers are forced to rush to tie up loose ends and it always ends up…
First of all, this drama isn’t an OTT drama. Netflix isn’t involved in this drama. Park Hae Young doesn’t like doing OTT dramas. The 12-episode format was most likely her choice.
Gon Youn Jung is a versatile actress. I love how she chooses dramas; her dramas are so successful, so proud of…
So true. I also like that she didn’t become famous because of romcoms. She has already done many different genres in just 6.5 years of her career. Impressive. I’ll watch whatever drama she’s in.
"As the chairperson of the copyright committee of the Korea Television and Radio Writers Association, Park Hae Young has become one of the strongest advocates for Korean drama writers in an era dominated by global streaming platforms.
Despite being an A-list writer, she remains the only top-tier Korean drama writer who continues to refuse producing dramas for OTT platforms such as Netflix and Disney+.
Her decision is not rooted in resistance to change, but in her belief that writers deserve ownership, dignity, and fair compensation for the stories they create. A passionate advocate for creators’ rights, she has consistently spoken out against contracts that force writers to surrender their intellectual property rights to massive corporations, arguing that stories are not products to be taken away from the people who gave them life. Through her advocacy, she has helped push legislative discussions and policy agreements aimed at protecting new media creators in South Korea.
In an industry rapidly changing under the influence of global platforms, Park Hae Young stands as a rare figure who continues to fight not only for her own principles, but for the future and rights of every Korean drama writer."
Byeon Eun Ah- "It feels like we're here in the moment, right? But actually, we're just reminiscing. Our lives have already ended Were 99 years old. Lying in bed Reliving the times we miss just before we die. What we're seeing right now, is a scene from our memories that we relive just before we die."
That’s honestly such beautiful and haunting writing. It stayed in my head lol.
I lowkey want Gyeong Se to cheat so Hye Jin will leave him and he’ll come to his senses. He’s so immature and always whining lol. Hye jin deserves better.
I just know Dong-man is going to release a major film and finally make it big. He deserves the success he’s…
Director Cha Young Hoon on We Are All Trying Here: “This is not a ‘cathartic’ story where an unsuccessful director suddenly becomes a blockbuster filmmaker. Instead, it offers a small comfort to viewers reminding them that today’s failures, frustrations, and shame are not theirs alone, and that we’re all living through the same struggles. It’s a story that says: don’t dwell too much on the hardships of the day; let’s try to endure and live with a smile.”
