JTBC’s new Sat–Sun drama just dropped a stacked 13-character poster — and it’s already going viral. Centered on Koo Kyo-hwan’s Hwang Dong-man, the promo for We Are All Trying Here (hereafter 'Mojamussa') teases a biting black-comedy world with the pointed line: "We used to be close — exactly the same — back when we were nobodies."
The poster shows Hwang Dong-man, a would-be film director still chasing his debut after 20 years, lying across a dining table as key figures from the film scene crowd into the frame. The crisscrossing gazes and the shared sense of worthlessness from each character create a striking, uneasy tableau.
What really grabs attention is the character layout. Ringing Hwang Dong-man are Go Youn-jung, Oh Jung-se, Kang Mal-geum, Park Hae-joon, Bae Jong-ok, Choi Won-young, Han Sun-hwa, Jeon Bae-soo, Shim Hee-sub, Bae Myung-jin, Jo Min-guk, and Park Ye-ni — each radiating emotions at wildly different temperatures. The copy, "We used to be close — exactly the same — when we were nobodies," compresses the gulf between past and present into a single punch.
On screen, Hwang Dong-man may recklessly sprawl across the dinner table, but those around him respond in their own ways, weaving complicated ties. The staging visualizes modern isolation and worthlessness, raising expectations for the message the series aims to deliver.
Go Youn-jung plays producing PD Byun Eun-a, who grounds Hwang Dong-man, while Oh Jung-se’s Director Park Kyung-se, walking a different path in the same industry, adds tension. Kang Mal-geum’s CEO Go Hye-jin and Park Hae-joon’s Hwang Jin-man flesh out Dong-man’s orbit and widen the narrative.
Also in the mix: Oh Jung-hee (Bae Jong-ok), Choi Dong-hyun (Choi Won-young), Jang Mi-ran (Han Sun-hwa), and Park Young-su (Jeon Bae-soo), among others — a multifaceted ensemble that surrounds Hwang Dong-man from every angle.
After the reveal, netizens reacted: "The black-comedy vibe is strong," "Every poster has great vibes," and more.
Meanwhile, 'Mojamussa' revisits life’s meaning through characters confronting the feeling of worthlessness and premieres on JTBC on the 18th.
