'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness': Actress Ko Yoon-jeong wrote a 'silent narrative' with eyes deeper than her lines.

In JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' (directed by Cha Young-hoon, written by Park Hae-young, produced by Studio Phoenix, SLL, and Studio Flow, hereafter 'Everyone Is Fighting...'), Ko Yoon-jeong, who plays Byun Eun-ah, delivers a passionate performance filled with tens of thousands of emotions within silence. Rather than pouring her turbulent emotions outward, she portrays the character's depths with restrained acting that holds emotions inward, rendering the character's inner abyss with density.

Byun Eun-ah is a character who sheds not a single tear even in the face of extreme anxiety. Instead, her suppressed emotions erupt at the moment they cross a critical threshold in the form of a nosebleed. Ko Yoon-jeong has received praise for capturing a desperate longing for life, paradoxically lifting her head amid despair that made her want to self-destruct, through her eyes.

Moreover, the detail of filling even moments of silence without lines with a fleeting glance and a single breath completed the character's inner world with density. Ko Yoon-jeong stated, "Since the character has much silence, I tried to fill that space firmly, and I hoped that Byun Eun-ah's sharpness would not be perceived as mere strength, but that the anxiety and wounds within her would also be felt."

Director Cha Young-hoon, who directed the series, highly praised Ko Yoon-jeong's performance. He said, "Ko Yoon-jeong's eyes are truly deep. In the early stages of filming, I felt as if I was being sucked into her eyes," and added, "I was left wondering what kind of experiences she must have had to express such deep and intense emotions."

Ko Yoon-jeong's 'eye narrative' achieved even greater synergy through her chemistry with actor Gu Gyeo-han. Ko Yoon-jeong shared, "Actor Gu Gyeo-han's diverse acting kept me from staying still, resulting in natural reactions in every cut."

'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' airs on JTBC every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
