JTBC's new drama "Everyone is Fighting Their Unworthiness" announced the confirmation of the casting of actors Koo Chang-hwan, Ko Yoon-jung, Oh Jung-se, Kang Mal-geum and Park Hae-joon.
JTBC's new drama "Everyone is Fighting Their Unworthiness" (scripted by Park Hae-young and directed by Cha Young-hoon, hereinafter referred to as "Motherless") is a work that follows the search for peace among humans who are suffering from time and jealousy among their proud friends. With the keyword "anxiety," the universal emotion of modern people, it is expected that it will be a drama that will turn on the "green light of life" for those who have stopped at the red light of valuelessness.
In particular, this work is highly anticipated with the return of Park Hae-young, who caused a syndrome through "My Mister" and "My Liberation Diary." Park Hae-young's unique insight, which creates the lowest emotions of life into the most noble sentences, raises expectations for another syndrome that goes beyond "Chuyang" and "liberation" and becomes "worthless." Director Cha Young-hoon's delicate directing ability, who showed warm humanism by capturing the extraordinary solidarity of ordinary people in "When the Camellia Blooms" and "Welcome to Samdali," is added. Director Cha Young-hoon's mise-en-scène, which embraces the lack of characters with a friendly temperature, meets Park Hae-young's deep sentences and heralds synergy that will heal the cold reality with warmth.
First of all, Koo Chang-hwan, who has proven his presence that he cannot exchange with anyone with his unique color, will star in his first TV drama through "Momoussa." Hwang Dong-man, who will be playing, is the only prospective film director who failed to make his debut in the movie industry's famous group "Eight Person's Association." He is a person who holds out by hiding the anxiety that always lingers around him like an uninvited guest with constant Jang Gwang-seol and bluff. Koo Dong-hwan portrays the struggles of Dong-man, a "people around us" who flounder loudly to avoid revealing his worthlessness, so even his geology is lovely, in three dimensions with his unique sensuous and unique acting. In addition, it is expected to be a catalyst for turning on the "green light" of calm in the hearts of viewers, giving comfort to all of us who have stopped amid the red light of anxiety.
Next, popular actor Ko Yoon-jung will present a new face by playing the role of Choi Film PD Byun Eun-ah, a film company called "The Axe" for its sharp screenplay review. Eun-ah dreams of a calm center that is not shaken under any circumstances, but in reality, she is a person who struggles with her trauma by pouring out nosebleeds whenever she is emotionally overloaded. Ko Yun-jung delicately and densely expresses the anger and fear of abandonment behind the surface. In particular, Eun-ah's journey, which seems to be culled by the world's standards but is stronger than anyone else, is expected to complete a meaningful "green fire narrative" by meeting Ko Yoon-jung's unique deep eyes.
Oh Jung-se, who gives birth to characters that are imprinted in his mind every time with a wide spectrum of acting, plays the role of "Park Kyung-se," a director of the movie company's Gobak Film, and who is entangled in Hwang Dong-man's terrible love-hate. Kyung-se is a well-known director who directed five feature films, but he is a person full of qualifications who suffers from being swayed by Dong-man, who is "nothing," as his recent film was devastated by the box office. Oh Jung-se depicts the complex and difficult inner side of Gyeong-se, who feels outrageous and endless at the words Dong-man uttered, but who dances to prove that he is never at the same level as him, with a unique level control. Above all, Dong-man and Kyung-se's so-called "full-fledged inferiority battle" is expected to add pleasant vitality and hyperrealism to the play.
Kang Mal-geum, a solid actor who captures even the hidden texture of each character, is "Go Hye-jin," the representative of the movie company's Gobak Film and the wife of Kyung-se, who takes the center of gravity of the decomposition play. Hye-jin is a one-party producer who runs a restaurant that is a hideout for members of the eight-member association and has a wide arms that accepts Dongman's Jang Gwang-seol with a first look, but sometimes shows determined and direct leadership. Kang Mal-geum enhances the completeness of the play by digesting three-dimensionally, from a realistic wife who is ashamed of her husband who goes crazy because of Dongman, but silently helps her.
Actor Park Hae-joon, who leaves a strong impression on each work with his bold acting, plays the role of Hwang Jin-man, Dong-man's brother and former poet, adding to the depth of the play. Jinman, who once wrote a poem, experienced the end of his incompetence and collapsed, is now a person who supports his life by moving around the labor market without breaking ties with the world. Park Hae-joon relies on alcohol and TV and unravels Jinman's empty inner self, which exists like a shadow in the house, with understated acting. In particular, the strange homogeneity and pain shared under the same roof with his younger brother Dong-man is expected to give viewers another heavy resonance.
The production team said, "We pay attention to the process of those who stopped in front of worthlessness embracing each other's deficiencies and opening their first breaths," and added, "We want to convey a lot of sympathy and warm comfort to viewers at the same time by facing the universal feelings of envy and jealousy transparently without denying them." He added, "The acting sacrament of Go Yoon-jung, Oh Jung-se, Kang Mal-geum, and Park Hae-joon, and the insightful sentences of writer Park Hae-young and the warm gaze of director Cha Young-hoon will meet to provide a magical time where even the humblest moments of life feel valuable."
"Mother and Child" will air on JTBC in the first half of 2026.
