We Are All Trying Here (모두가 자신의 무가치함과 싸우고 있다)

WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

Hello, everyone!

- Hello! - Hello!

We've got this!

It's the end of the year! Let's make some money!

THE LOYAL CATERING

All right!

- You're good to go! - Okay.

- Drive safely! - Will do!

Have you ever asked for help before?

I'm not talking about

simply asking for help.

I mean, when you're really struggling.

Who'd do that?

Make sure you ask me, okay?

There's a worst kind of feeling I never want to go through.

It's hard

to put into words.

It's like being trapped in a hole

that's only 30 cm wide but 100 m deep, unable to move an inch.

That's what it's like,

but now that I know I can ask for help,

that 30 cm hole

feels about a meter wide now.

So promise me

that you'll ask for help, okay?

Okay.

To pull you out from self-destructing,

I threw myself into that emotion…

Dove deep into it, and found the words to save you.

Words I've never spoken in my life.

"Help me."

But the words I found to save you

ended up saving me instead.

NO ONE COMES INTO YOUR LIFE BY MISTAKE

When you get out of a worst-case situation,

it suddenly opens up a new perspective,

and everything you struggled with before starts to feel trivial.

Success?

Debuting?

Screw all that.

If I had just one wish in life,

it would be to die of old age.

I hope cats, trees,

and all living things die of old age.

Not from illness,

not from agony.

I hope everything dies of old age

like leaves falling from a tree.

MA JAE-YEONG

I'll credit you on the screenplay.

But under a pseudonym.

I refuse to put your real name on it.

That's the best I can do.

Is it okay to use "Yeong-sil"

as my pseudonym?

I like the idea of living an easygoing life.

I'd be grateful.

I'm sure Yeong-sil would be honored too.

Thank you.

Yeong-sil.

What's that?

My pseudonym.

Yeong-sil.

You know what I mean.

It's like when a guy who has nothing going for him,

but once a woman says he does, he starts to seem that way.

You start to think, "He must have something I'm not aware of."

Now that you like Hwang Dong-man, he seems impressive.

- Really? - Yeah.

I'll have to tell him that.

Wow, he's really fast.

That's amazing.

- He's so fast. - Wow, look at this.

I'll leave you to it.

Wait, but…

My brother really went to Daegwallyeong this time.

Eun-a, have you been waiting long?

- I just got here. - I see.

TANGERINE 5,000 WON

That looks good.

A time of serenity is approaching,

when you can curl up under a blanket, eat tangerines, and read comic books.

Why does winter feel more serene?

Because it makes you go looking for warmth?

You're right.

By the way, I think I can send you my revised draft this week.

The screenplay is getting more interesting.

I'm excited to read it.

Now I see why directors are eager for you to tear apart their screenplays.

When you send screenplays to other producers,

they just go on about the story structure and the ending,

throwing around technical terms.

But you're different.

You know exactly where I'm stuck

and where I need to focus emotionally so I can really take off.

You know,

you have a real gift for reading people.

I guess that's a skill

you're just born with, right?

Come on.

You're the one who figured out the "help me" emotion.

May I ask why…

That appeared on your watch?

You don't have to answer.

It was because of Jin-man.

May I ask why

that appeared on your watch?

You don't have to answer me.

It was because of my mom.

Did you get along with your mom?

We got along better

after she passed away.

I don't understand the phrase "Look after your mom."

My idea of a mom is so different from everyone else's.

Whenever I feel like I'm being abandoned,

like my boyfriend leaving me

or things going badly at work…

My whole body aches, and I get nosebleeds.

When I traced these symptoms back to the source,

they led to one person.

The first person who wrote me off.

My mom.

I didn't know when I was young,

but when I got older, I thought,

"The woman who gave birth to me

was such…

"A weak woman."

That's when I decided

that I'm going to become a strong mother and a strong woman.

Someone who wouldn't be ashamed

of her child or her husband.

A strong mother and a strong woman.

That's a relief.

You see,

I'm a really embarrassing guy.

I wouldn't say "really."

Just a little.

You're a little embarrassing

but very lovable.

The goddess of the wind!

Who would dare abandon you?

Who would dare write you off?

Feel free to use me

until I'm no longer needed.

I'll be here waiting for you if you return.

The goddess of the wind!

I'm a lifelong Byeon Eun-a admirer

and someone you can come to anytime.

It's the goddess of the wind!

If it pains you to see me live like that,

I'll meet another woman

for a little while.

Just for a moment.

And if you tell me to come back,

I'll run back to you.

No, if I meet another woman,

I'll say, "Byeon Eun-a controls me."

"I must rush back to her whenever she calls."

This is what I'll say before seeing someone.

If you want me to remain single

or be on standby forever,

I'll do that.

If that's enough to ease your anxiety,

isn't that a wonderful way to live?

Jeez, what am I going to do?

I'm such a lovable bastard.

Shouldn't you head up?

Go upstairs already.

The writer will be here soon.

What's the point? It's not happening anyway.

Have you read their writing?

I can't even look at it.

There's a typo in the first line. Are they insane?

A real writer reviews their work at least 20 times before submitting.

Should I tell them not to come

20 minutes before the appointment?

Should I tell them to go back

when they're coming all the way from Dongducheon?

I told you I'm not co-writing, so why'd you set up an appointment?

I warned you.

You can't do it alone this time.

Go upstairs.

Go upstairs, interview the writer,

and tear them apart if that's what you want.

But I'll search the whole country to find you a co-writer.

Just go upstairs.

If an appointment was made, you should show up.

- You said to tear them apart! - Go ahead!

Man, that punk.

Go easy on him.

You know how he is.

He's the type

who needs constant praise

to get his brain to kick in and think clearly.

What is he, a kid?

Write something already instead of sitting around all day.

Hey, you…

My brain's working.
