Maybe my expectations were too high.
It was a fun watch, but it could have been better. Although it was necessary for the plot, a 6-year-old king wasn’t very relatable for me.At few scenes IU's acting felt like too much, although she is my favourite. And I loved the duo Choi Hyeon and Do Hye Jeong. Allover good for one time watch.

One of the best K Drama I have watched so far
Anyone who wants to watch something wholesome should watch this drama. I am sure you won't be disappointed.Even though the English Title is ‘We All Are Trying Here’ but the literal translation of the native title, “Everyone is Fighting their own Worthlessness” fits better. While looking at the poster I thought its going to be either boring or overly serious drama. I don't watch trailers or read synopses before watching a drama thus I didn't have any idea of the plot.
It took me just one episode to get stuck with it. Thank god I started watching it after it ended or else I would have been thinking about the drama unit the next episodes would come. Usually I binge watch the dramas I like but for this one I took breaks after each episodes to absorb everything the drama wants to tell.
In every episode there are quotes to take notes on and remember for a lifetime. My favourite one is
“ What's there to life? Nothing!
But we can't just die either, so we need enough strength to get through the day!
That's why people watch movies and eat good food!
That's why people go on trips, fall in love, have s**,
get hammered all night long, and yell at the top of our lungs!”
I might not re-watch it, not because it's not worth it but because I want to cherish this first experience forever. I'll talk about this drama forever, whenever I'll get bore or tired of life I'll think about this drama. This drama has healed something in me that will be with me forever ✨.
Everything in this is on point, the writing, the acting, the complexities of the characters, everything. It's just not the story of Eun-a and Dong-man . It's included each one of the so called side characters. This drama helped me to realised that my favourite genre is “SLICE OF LIFE”.
