"Everyone is fighting their own sense of worthlessness," actors Koo Kyo-hwan and Oh Jung-se discussed their battles with inferiority.

On the 16th, the production team of JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Sense of Worthlessness" (directed by Cha Young-hoon, written by Park Hae-young, produced by Studio Phoenix·SLL·Studio Flow, hereinafter "Moja-Musa") revealed the iconic scenes personally selected by actors Gu Kyung-ho and Oh Jung-se.

"Moja Mussa" is a drama following a human driven to madness by the pain of envy and jealousy, as the only one among accomplished friends who cannot find peace. Koo Kyo-hwan and Oh Jung-se portray aspiring film director "Hwang Dong-man" and the successful film director "Park Kyung-se," who has released five films, respectively, showcasing a unique friendship where they have been launching factual attacks on each other for 20 years. Their petty inferiority complex battle is an indispensable laugh point that leaves audiences unable to hold back their laughter.

First, Gu Gyeon-ho mentioned the "kimchi jjigae incident." He noted that it is childish for Park Kyung-se to order kimchi jjigae for Hwang Dong-man, who dislikes it, by having it made less spicy. However, the real twist came with Gu Gyeon-ho's sharp self-reflection that followed. He stated that Hwang Dong-man, who follows the kimchi jjigae restaurant and then claims he dislikes kimchi jjigae, is even more childish. By amplifying the "cheesy" charm of his character, he has built anticipation for the first broadcast.

Oh Jeong-se confessed that he suffered a "fatal wound" from Hwang Dong-man's congratulatory remarks. At the moment when Park Kyung-se should have been most delighted after releasing the film, Hwang Dong-man said only, "Congratulations!" Oh Jeong-se responded, "It remains remembered as an unforgettable feeling of discomfort," pointing out the strange and chilling gap between the word "congratulations" and the actual sentiment. Highlighting the irony of a "congratulation" that inflicts internal injury on the recipient, Oh Jeong-se added the short yet powerful remark, "You will know when you see it," sparking curiosity.

These scenes, already poised to spark laughter, achieve even greater polish through the ensemble chemistry of acting prodigies Koo Kyo-hwan and Oh Jung-se. Regarding their on-screen synergy, Koo remarked, "Even in moments where we clash with petty inferiority, actress Oh Jung-se delivers lines punctuated with exclamation marks not with raised voices, but by projecting them with a quiet, heavy energy." He expressed admiration, adding, "Actress Oh's unique style of always pairing calmness with humor has been a great lesson for me," hinting at the expectation of a genius-level synergy.

Oh Jeong-se also gave a thumbs-up to the unparalleled aura of Koo Kyo-hwan. He stated, "Among the members of the '8-person group' in the drama, Hwang Dong-man appears to have a different color, yet he comes to the set with a sentiment that is also of the same color," and further praised, "This is not something that can be presented as a mere setting, but rather the result of Koo Kyo-hwan's extensive contemplation and efforts."

The production team stated, "Gu Gyeon-ho and Oh Jung-se, who know each other's deepest vulnerabilities better than anyone, have delivered a chilling performance that captures their 20-year friendship marked by intense love-hate dynamics and mutual disdain. Their utterly childish yet profoundly human chemistry serves as another central pillar of the drama, ensuring its entertainment value. We ask audiences to look forward to the overwhelming synergy created by these two acting geniuses."

"Moja Mussa" is a work created by director Cha Young-hoon, who captures the extraordinary solidarity of ordinary people and presents a warm humanism, and writer Park Hae-young, who crafts the most base emotions of life into the most noble sentences. The series premieres on the 18th at 10:40 p.m.
