Koo Kyu-hwan Finds Strength Through Go Yoon-jung's Embrace in 'Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness'

In the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' aired on the 16th, Koo Kyu-hwan, who is on the verge of debuting as a film director, showed a moment of awakening backed by Go Yoon-jung's unconditional support.

Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyu-hwan) felt a heavy sense of responsibility after signing a support contract with the Korean Film Association. Ko Hye-jin (Kang Mal-geum), the production company CEO who decided to produce his film, instructed him, "People like you from yesterday will swarm like a pack of dogs, hoping you fall. Delete all the slanderous posts you uploaded to the internet." Park Young-soo (Jeon Bae-soo), the eldest member of the '8-in-hoe' group, also advised, "Not a single scene will be shot exactly as you want, and you'll want to run away hundreds of times."

As Hwang Dong-man blew out the candles on the celebratory cake prepared by Byeon Eun-ah (Go Yoon-jung), he regretted his past criticisms rather than praying for success. Byeon Eun-ah embraced him, saying she would help him escape somehow if he wanted to run away.

Consequently, Hwang Dong-man gained great strength and expressed his gratitude to Byeon Eun-ah, saying in his long-imagined rookie director award acceptance speech, "I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for you."

He received advice from Ko Hye-jin to reinforce the details of the protagonist's evil. He tried hard to find inspiration by staring intently at the photo of the top actor Noh Kang-sik (Sung Dong-il), the number one casting choice, but only anxiety set in. However, a clue was provided by the loan shark who had been tormenting him.

The reason he had taken out a private loan was because his cat, Yoreum, suddenly had an accident. The interest had already snowballed to more than five times the principal. The loan shark, noticing he had a way to get money, threatened him more strongly, but when he didn't listen, the shark sent text messages exposing his flaws to his acquaintances.

Byeon Eun-ah gave him strength, saying, "A man who even used private loans to save his cat—that's why I like you, Director." Hwang Dong-man boldly went to the loan shark and made a radical proposal: "I need something scary right now. If you show me properly, 10 million won won't be a waste." Overwhelmed by his momentum, the loan shark retreated without being able to pose any threat.

Hwang Dong-man shouted, "It ends today. There is no evil inside me, only strength."

However, a crisis struck Byeon Eun-ah. Her mother, top star Oh Jeong-hee (Bae Jong-ok), discovered the existence of her biological daughter hiding behind the pen name Yeong-sil in the 'Nack-Nack-Nack' scenario. Curiosity is mounting about what Oh Jeong-hee—who once took a role by changing 'My Father' to 'My Mother' after Noh Kang-sik had originally proposed it—will do regarding Byeon Eun-ah's scenario.
