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

WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

AS GROUP COMPANY FALL RETREAT

You know, when I'm in a good mood,

I eat vegetables.

Have you eaten yet, Ye-ji?

Eat lots of vegetables.

There are no vegetables.

THE LOYAL CATERING

Salute!

- Hello, can I get your name? - Byeon Eun-a.

Eun-a!

Eun-a, over here.

XIMFIT WILL ANALYZE EMOTIONS YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD

I was categorized as an unemployed male in his forties.

What about you, Eun-a?

A female in her thirties with psychological issues.

I'm serious.

Did Lee Jun-hwan specifically describe you that way?

No, someone else introduced me to this.

Nobody at work knows I'm wearing this watch.

Oh, right, I see.

They said this could help people with psychological issues.

Psychological issues?

You've got a word that makes your heart pound, don't you?

I had no idea

the word "unemployed" would make my heart pound so much.

When my heart rate goes up, and warning beeps go off,

my heart pounds even more.

Knowing that it's pounding makes it pound more.

It feels like,

"Oh, I've been caught."

You haven't experienced it yet, have you?

You'll discover a word that makes your heart pound.

Just hearing that makes my heart race.

So you do have a word that makes your heart pound?

I have too many.

They're not words

- so much as they are names. - Names?

The names

of the men who left me.

"Men"?

Plural?

Whenever I hear the name of anyone who wrote me off,

my heart pounds immediately.

Gosh, the mere thought makes it pound.

I don't react

to names at all.

Your relationships must be nice and neat.

They're actually nice and messed up

because everyone has written me off.

All names disrespect me,

and I disrespect all names.

Thanks to this watch,

I've realized that I don't like anyone or anything in this world.

Except for food.

Food is the only thing I respect and love.

My favorite writing is what's on a menu.

There's nothing more beautiful than that.

Wearing this watch

made one thing very clear.

I'm a destructive person.

You see…

There was a moment that made me really trust this watch.

I went to a café the other day,

and all of a sudden, I heard a screech and a thud.

I'd never heard anything like that so up close before.

- Oh no. - I didn't see you.

I'll have my insurance take care of it.

My heart was pounding like crazy from the shock,

so when this vibrated, I didn't even think twice.

I figured it'd be "fear" or "shock."

But do you know what it said?

EXCITED

"Excited."

No way.

I had to cover it up before anyone saw it.

I just accepted it at that point.

That's right. I was excited.

Jeez, Hwang Dong-man.

There was a world leaders' summit not too long ago.

I woke up with a cold that morning,

but I still worked a catering gig for a 500-person luncheon

and then taught a class in the evening.

I barely made it home and just collapsed,

but I had to look at my phone.

Yeah.

I think

I'll check my phone even on my deathbed.

Anyway, I was on my phone, and I see there's been a terrorist attack.

So I jumped up and turned on the TV.

I saw special forces rushing in and heard gunfire.

And I thought to myself, "If all those world leaders were to die,

the world would finally fall apart."

I'm watching in shock, and you know what popped up on my watch?

I think I know.

"Thrilled."

Oh jeez.

I wasn't watching out of concern.

I was about to die from exhaustion,

but suddenly, I was wide awake and not tired at all.

I forgot I was tired and kept watching.

They rescued everyone, and the terrorists were captured alive.

- You know what popped up? - Beep.

No, I can't. I don't want to get it right.

"Disappointed"?

How could there be no casualties?

I was exhausted, but I watched it till the end.

I deserved to see a dramatic ending.

That's just the guy I am, and I accept it.

This is who I am.

Guilty as charged.

Words like "love" or "peace"

bore me to death.

But "revenge," "destruction," or "retribution"?

When I hear such words, my eyes sparkle.

The best part about wearing this was when I realized,

"Hey, Hwang Dong-man."

"You're a destructive person."

It laid it out for me, nice and simple.

So I decided to stop pretending to be a good person.

When Park Gyeong-se's movie tanked…

I was truly happy.

SISTER VENGEANCE

Bad reviews were pouring in.

And it was

really brutal.

There was a certain satisfaction in knowing

the whole country realized just how lame he really was.

I cooked myself some fresh rice for once,

and danced for the first time in my life.

I felt guilt-free satisfaction in someone else's misfortune.

I realized, "So this is peace."

Now, you might ask,

"Aren't you two close?"

Nope.

We need to clarify the meaning of "close."

We've just known each other for a long time.

We're well acquainted, but we don't like each other.

We used to be close.

Back when we were all the same.

When we were all nobodies

sitting around together, roasting other people's movies.

Park Gyeong-se was the one who talked the most trash back then.

This is why it's getting bad reviews!

There's no storyline, and it's just noisy!

What's this even about?

Someone explain it to me.

One by one, they made their debut.

Look, over here. The transitions.

- Jeez, did you see that? - Damn it.

You're going to break the TV!

Now, the seven of them get together to talk trash without me.

Whenever I show up…

Hey, you're here.

They're indifferent.

Like I'm not on their level anymore, and they don't see me as worth debating.

What a bunch of jerks.

I'm starting to get upset.

In any case,

I, Hwang Dong-man,

am a destructive person.

You seem like someone

with a thousand doors wide open.

Imagine everyone had a thousand doors inside them.

Reading something written by someone who hasn't even opened a single door

is so boring and suffocating.

But reading a screenplay by someone with a few doors open grabs my attention.

You seem like someone

who's got all a thousand doors wide open.

Then why'd you say those things

last time?

In front of Mr. Choi.

The protagonist in Weather Maker didn't feel like you.

Well, that's because the protagonist has to be cooler than me.

You're way cooler.

You're much more raw…

And much warmer.

I thought I'd feel better

if I wore this watch.

Like, "Oh, I'm feeling down right now. Let's change that."

I thought I could change my mood.

But turns out, I can't.

Nope.

You can never force your emotions to change.

When you feel down, pick up a 500-won coin on the street.

Like a small win.

That's what can change your mood.

Willpower can't make that happen.

That's why I take off running from here every day.

Here's to the joy of setting a new record!

YOUR CURRENT SPEED 24 KM/H

A new record!

Have a good night.

- Good night. - Bye.

HWANG DONG-MAN AND HIS BROTHER NOT ALLOWED

Writing a noir? Why?

- Why not? - Don't do it.

There you are.

You traitors.

You having fun drinking at a place your friend's banned from?
