Who Is Hwang Dong Man?
Hwang Dong Man has spent two decades chasing one dream — becoming a film director. On paper, the world calls him unemployed. In reality, his days are anything but empty.
He teaches screenplay writing at an academy, passionately pouring his love for cinema into his students. He takes on catering gigs to pay the bills. And at the end of every long, relentless day, he sits down in his workspace and writes his screenplay, We Create the Weather — line by line, word by word, without fanfare and without giving up.
Surrounded by successful friends, Dong Man battles something painfully familiar: anguish, envy, and the creeping fear that maybe he’s the only one whose life isn’t working out. His journey is one of searching for peace — and proving his worth — in a world that keeps trying to diminish him
Why This Drama Hits Different
The production team perfectly summed up what makes this character so special — Dong Man may look like he’s standing still to the outside world, but he is actually working harder than almost anyone around him. Combined with Koo Kyo Hwan’s signature vivid, rhythmic performance style, this promises to be a drama that delivers warm support and deep relatability to anyone fighting their own sense of inadequacy.
This kind of storytelling sits at the heart of what makes Korean drama so universally beloved — it takes the quiet, invisible struggles of ordinary life and makes them feel worthy of a spotlight.
In a world obsessed with overnight success, We Are All Trying Here dares to say: the slow, stubborn, unglamorous grind is also a story worth telling. 🎬
