We Are All Trying Here · Season 1

After 20 years trying to make his debut film, Hwang Dong-man flails through life, irritating his director friends — until one day he meets Byeon Eun-a.

While Dong-man deals with rock bottom, Ko Hye-jin delivers devastating news. Meanwhile, Eun-a seeks counseling as she struggles at work.

Dong-man slowly grows closer to Eun-a. Later, he makes an enemy of Park Gyeong-se — whose film opens to negative critical reception.

Gyeong-se sets his revenge against Dong-man in motion — playing dirty. Meanwhile, Eun-a faces mounting hostility and pressure at work.

Tired of enduring contempt from his peers, Dong-man confronts Gyeong-se. He later chastises Ma Jae-yeong over his relationship with Eun-a.

Dong-man rushes to share a meal with Eun-a — but is met with a surprise. Later, Eun-a receives a phone call that stops her in her tracks.

As Dong-man and Eun-a's bond deepens, they both make decisions about their scripts. Eun-a and Oh Jeong-hui finally come face-to-face in a tense moment.

When Dong-man learns that Jae-yeong is about to begin filming, he becomes consumed by envy. Meanwhile, Eun-a decides to confront Jeong-hui directly.

Just as Dong-man is about to debut, his fears haunt him — but Eun-a offers her brand of support. Meanwhile, Eun-a's secret script garners interest.

Desperate to cast Noh Kang-sik, Dong-man takes matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, Eun-a grows uneasy as Jeong-hui involves herself in her project.

Despite exciting casting news, Dong-man witnesses an explosive clash between his lead and another actor. Jeong-hui confronts Eun-a about her hostility.

Eun-a takes a bold step forward in resilience. As Dong-man grows increasingly impatient with production timing, will he finally release his film?
