'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness's Koo Gyun-hwan soared brilliantly with the true power he received from Go Yoon-jung.

The JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' (script by Park Hae-young, directed by Cha Young-hoon), which aired on the 18th, recorded a viewership rating of 2.2% (based on Nielsen Korea nationwide figures). This figure is similar to the rating achieved during its first broadcast.

The episode began by revealing the bittersweet reality of Hwang Dong-man (played by Koo Gyun-hwan), who desperately wanted to soar like the protagonist of the film 'Billy Elliot' but instead stumbled and crashed hard after trampling his own script. Ultimately, Hwang Dong-man could not even express his anger in a sophisticated manner toward the rude and presumptuous Choi Dong-hyun (played by Choi Won-young), who pretended to possess great insight. Instead, he built a fortress of self-pity around himself with a fake cast.

At the age of forty, he was also ostracized by the '8-person group,' effectively becoming a target of bullying. Ko Bak-pil-reum (CEO) Ko Hye-jin (played by Kang Mal-geum) issued the extreme measure of banning Hwang Dong-man from entering their hideout. Park Kyung-se (played by Oh Jung-se), who had long been seething over Hwang Dong-man's chaotic behavior—driven mad by others' success and finding joy in their failures, and careening forward with a broken control mechanism—finally exploded, arguing that the 'rotten tangerine' must be cut out before the entire group became contaminated. Hwang Dong-man's emotional indicator flashed red once again, even after being pushed out from the only place in the world that had accepted him.

Hwang Dong-man could not even speak up when his uncle-in-law treated him like a pushover by asking him to hire a celebrity to sing at his daughter's wedding. As his older brother Hwang Jin-man (played by Park Hae-jun) put it, it was a forced reliance on Hwang Dong-man's tendency to scramble and do whatever it takes when bullied. However, Hwang Dong-man, who had survived in the film industry for 20 years, could not bring himself to admit his pathetic situation of having no connections to hire a single celebrity. Even Hwang Jin-man, who had scolded him as a shameless person, felt his chest tighten and become choked with sympathy as he heard his younger brother's outpouring of resentment.

It was Byun Eun-ah (played by Go Yoon-jung) who pulled Hwang Dong-man up from the bottom, where there was nowhere else to fall. In fact, her emotional indicator was also flashing 'red,' just like Hwang Dong-man's. Because she had such a keen eye for scripts, she found it unbearable that directors lined up for her sharp 'axe cuts.' When Choi Dong-hyun openly ignored and bullied her, the extreme stress manifested physically, causing her to bleed from the nose. Her precarious psychological signals began with the sense of isolation she felt at age nine, when she was left completely alone and found it hard even to breathe. However, the current Byun Eun-ah had one more emotion different from that time. Witnessing the weakness of those who belittled her head-on, she truly felt that it was "worth fighting."

This firm awakening led to solidarity toward Hwang Dong-man. When the '8-person group' members, director Lee Ki-ri (played by Bae Myung-jin) and planning PD Choi Hyo-jin (played by Park Ye-ni), treated Hwang Dong-man as a troublesome and incompetent person, Byun Eun-ah defended him, saying, "Isn't the greatest incompetence when humans act inhumanely?" To Hwang Dong-man, who desperately asked, "Where do you buy power?" in response to her bone-chilling review that the protagonist of the script lacked the power audiences love, she offered the truly empowering insight: "If you have someone you love, your heart will beat wildly."

Awakened, Hwang Dong-man went back to find Choi Dong-hyun, who had humiliated him. He shot back at those who tried to treat him like an infectious disease patient, saying, "Go ahead and create a world where only the shining ones shine. It doesn't shine at all." His declaration, which would make him even more worthless and useless, angering them to the point of surrendering the white flag, brought a sense of pleasure. Watching this, a shining smile finally spread across Byun Eun-ah's lips.

'Hungry' Hwang Dong-man was given a gift of side dishes filled with his grandmother's (played by Yeon Yun-kyung) sincerity by Byun Eun-ah. The green light of her emotional indicator shone clearly on her wrist, and upon confirming this, Hwang Dong-man also responded by showing his own emotional indicator, now dyed green. Holding the side dish container with precious care, Hwang Dong-man soared like a bird, overcoming his previous miserable failure. 'Mojamussa' airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM on JTBC.
