Actor Bae Myung-jin added depth to every scene in the drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness,' leaving a lasting impression on living room screens.
In the new JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' (directed by Cha Young-hoon, written by Park Hae-young, hereafter referred to as 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness'), which premiered on the 18th, Bae Myung-jin appears as Lee Gi-ri, a film director affiliated with Choi Film and a member of the renowned film industry gathering known as the Group of Eight. Lee Gi-ri portrays complex emotions blending frustration and disappointment built up toward Hwang Dong-man (played by Gu Kyo-hwan), who hides his anxiety behind bravado, while also revealing the underlying sorrow, creating a subtle tension between the characters.
In particular, the drama enhanced its sense of reality through natural banter exchanged with the Group of Eight friends and the passion for film, while increasing the density of each scene through delicate temperature differences within their relationships. Bae Myung-jin convincingly constructed Lee Gi-ri's complex inner world with restrained expressions and detailed acting. By realistically portraying the cynicism and fatigue directed toward Dong-man, along with the compassion hidden beneath, Bae exposed the cracks between the two characters, further elevating the drama's immersion.
Bae Myung-jin's meticulous buildup of the character's emotional arc has generated anticipation for what kind of variations may unfold in future developments. Bae stated, "I was able to deeply immerse myself in the character of Lee Gi-ri thanks to a solid script and delicate direction that came together in a great work," and added, "I hope viewers will watch to see what kind of appearance Lee Gi-ri will show in the story that will unfold ahead."
'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' is a well-made drama following a human's search for peace as they become consumed by envy and jealousy, suffering alone among accomplished friends. It features writer Park Hae-young, who created a phenomenon through dramas such as 'My Mister' and 'My Liberation Notes,' and director Cha Young-hoon, known for 'When the Camellia Blooms' and 'Welcome to Samdal-ri.' The drama airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10 p.m.
