Actor Koo Kyo-hwan is going viral after drawing his character’s brain map himself for the drama.
On the 27th, the team behind JTBC’s new Sat–Sun drama We Are All Trying Here (hereafter ‘Mojamusssa’) unveiled the mind map for Hwang Dong-man, created by Koo himself.
The revealed map spotlights “anxiety” and “serenity (quiet and at ease)” as its core keywords. Hwang Dong-man (played by Koo Kyo-hwan), who has spent 20 years aspiring to become a film director, breathes anxiety like air. While his peers in the story build up their filmographies, his only wish isn’t flashy success but pure “serenity.” His world is held together by PD Byun Eun-ah of Choi Film (played by Go Youn-jung), his older brother Hwang Jin-man (Park Hae-joon), and his cat, Yoreum-i. The in-progress script We Make the Weather for You also draws attention. Viewers are watching to see whether his bid to wash away his sense of worthlessness with a single film will finally pay off.
Because Koo has been steadily working not only as an actor but also as a film director, expectations are high for his uncanny synchronization with this character.
The mind map has already stirred reactions online, with comments like “I love how much he thinks about the cat” and “He must be really close with his brother,” further boosting interest in the character.
Meanwhile, ‘Mojamusssa,’ a story about a man who alone seems to be falling apart amid his dazzling friends, will premiere on April 18 at 10:40 p.m. KST on JTBC.
