Ahead of the series finale of JTBC’s We Are All Trying Here, the stars took a moment to reflect on the show and what it meant to them personally. The result is a set of farewell messages as warm, honest, and quietly devastating as the drama itself.

What Is We Are All Trying Here About?
The drama centres on Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), an aspiring film director who, surrounded by friends who seem to have it all figured out, becomes convinced that he alone is failing at life. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out searching for peace — and the story follows what that journey uncovers. It’s the kind of drama that quietly gets under your skin because it’s telling the truth about something most people feel but rarely say out loud.

The Cast’s Final Farewell Messages
Koo Kyo Hwan reflected on the strange, beautiful intimacy of reading viewer responses to a show he poured himself into: “While reading reviews by viewers whose faces I’ve never seen, I’m suddenly struck by the feeling that ‘I exist there, too.'” His final farewell to fans was simply: “All for one, one for all.”
Go Youn Jung described filming alongside more experienced actors as a genuine privilege and a constant source of learning. She then turned directly to her character in a farewell that got emotional fast: “Eun Ah, you worked so, so hard. As much as you have suffered, there will only be good things in your future. I hope there will only be peace and serenity in your life.”
Oh Jung Se needed just one word to sum up the entire experience: “precious.” He said he was excited to be part of it, happy while filming it, and genuinely sad to be leaving — adding that working with the cast made it “a year full of meaning.”
Kang Mal Geum admitted she was tearing up just at the thought of it ending, saying she was grateful for the love from viewers throughout. Her closing words carried real power: “I must now leave my sorrow behind and go write my own story, a story that shines bright. Since I’m someone who made it through We Are All Trying Here — I must open a thousand doors and keep moving forward.”
Park Hae Joon kept it simple and genuine: “I feel sad that it’s the end. Thank you for cherishing We Are All Trying Here.”
Han Sun Hwa shared that she found herself watching the finished episodes as a fan, not just a cast member — and that the audience’s love for her character Jang Mi Ran made her feel both grateful and rewarded as an actress. “Thank you so much for watching and joining us up until now.”
It’s a rare thing when every member of a cast sounds this genuinely moved by their own work. We Are All Trying Here clearly left a mark — on its viewers and on the people who made it.
