JTBC’s most emotionally charged K-drama of 2026 is about to get a major guest star jolt. Veteran actor Sung Dong-il is making a special appearance in We Are All Trying Here, and the behind-the-scenes chaos his character brings promises to be one of the season’s most entertaining detours yet.
What’s Happening in the Episode?
Sung Dong-il will play the role of A-list actor No Gang Sik. A preview of the episode showed Choi Dong Hyun (Choi Won Young) excitedly scheduling a meeting with No Gang Sik, marking the start of a full-fledged casting war.
Go Hye Jin (Kang Mal Geum), who absolutely needs No Gang Sik for her project, moves with just as much urgency as she desperately tries to cast the in-demand actor. Worried that the perennially jealous Hwang Dong Man will sabotage Ma Jae Young — with whom he is on bad terms — Go Hye Jin makes an earnest plea for someone to keep a close eye on Dong Man and prevent him from coming to AZIT that day. However, her efforts ultimately prove futile, and Hwang Dong Man shows up at AZIT just as No Gang Sik, Mo Jae Young, and Choi Dong Hyun are engaging in a secret conversation.
The production team teased: “Please look forward to the synergy that will be created by the collision between Sung Dong Il’s aura as a top actor and Koo Kyo Hwan’s unpredictable energy. Sung Dong Il will add fun and suspense to the episode by making his special appearance even more special with his seasoned acting.” soompi
