TV-14Season 1
Everyone is pretending to be okay… but no one really is.
Synopsis
We Are All Trying Here (2026), Season 1 is a Korean drama you can watch online on iFILM — 12 episodes about a man who has chased his first film for twenty years and still has nothing to show.
Director Hwang Dong-man is the only member of the famed collective "Eight" who never made his debut, and envy of his thriving friends gnaws at him daily. Then he crosses paths with Byeon Eun-a, a producer nicknamed "the Axe" for the way she tears bad scripts apart. Across the season the two drift toward each other while everyone else's premieres pile up, a slighted rival named Gyeong-se plots his payback, and both of them quietly try not to break under the strain.
This is less a story about making it than about clawing back a sense of your own worth — wry, melancholy, easy to sit with. Stream We Are All Trying Here Season 1 online on iFILM.
