★ 10/10 – We Are All Trying Here
One of the things I appreciated the most about this drama is how almost every character grows naturally from the very first episode to the last. Their development never feels forced; every change is believable and perfectly fits the story.
After finishing each episode, I kept thinking, “There’s no way the next one can be even better.” Yet somehow it always was. Every episode surprised me in the best possible way.
From the characters to the dialogue, the cinematography, and the atmosphere, everything felt carefully crafted. Nothing seemed out of place.
My biggest concern while watching was that, as the story approached its ending, it might lose the depth that made it so special. Since this drama deals with heavy and important themes, I was afraid it would eventually simplify them or rush through them.
Thankfully, it never does.
This is not a drama for everyone. It’s emotionally heavy, intense, and sometimes difficult to watch. Calling it a “light” drama would be completely misleading.
From the very first episode, it makes its intentions clear. At some point, I stopped feeling like I was watching just another drama. It felt painfully real.
I think that’s because it handles its themes with honesty and respect. It never romanticizes pain, never diminishes it, and never treats serious issues as simple plot devices. Instead, it allows every character’s struggles to matter.
The original Korean title, “모두가 자신의 무가치함과 싸우고 있다” (“Everyone Is Fighting Against Their Own Worthlessness”), captures the heart of the story far better than the international title. It reminds us that everyone is fighting a battle we often cannot see.
I genuinely hope We Are All Trying Here reaches as many people as possible, especially those who need its message the most.
For me, this is an easy 10/10.
