A quiet drama that stayed with me
“We Are All Trying Here” felt comforting in the most natural way possible. At first I kept wondering how they would carry the story till the end because it felt so simple and quiet, and my brain started making theories about the watch and everything. But somehow the drama just pulls you into everyday life naturally.There isn’t even a single kiss scene, yet the love between them overflowed in every interaction. Honestly, some scenes felt more intimate than actual romance dramas.
The chemistry between Koo Kyo-hwan and Go Youn-jung was amazing — silly, constantly yapping boy meets quiet introvert listener girl. Their dynamic felt so human instead of scripted.
What I loved most was the emotional realism. They supported each other exactly when they needed it most. The “cry for help” line still stays with me.
The drama is very calm with minimal fighting. Sometimes you hear only the voices of the characters and soft background sounds, which made everything feel even more real. The OST was used only when necessary and every track felt soothing. The opening song was beautiful too.
“If you want to run away together, I’ll run away with you.
If you want to live in hiding forever, I’ll hide with you.
I like that.”
One scene that will stay in my head forever is when Dong-man hugs Eun-ah while she’s wearing that oversized sweater. Somehow it felt hotter and more intimate than a kiss scene. Another memorable line was Eun-ah asking, “Are we human beings better?” during the early episodes.
This drama won’t be for people looking for constant action or typical rom-com tropes. But if you love slow slice-of-life stories that quietly heal you while breaking your heart a little, this is a hidden gem.
I genuinely don’t understand why it’s sitting around 8.3 ratings because this was easily a 10/10 for me. While everyone was busy watching bigger trending dramas, this one felt underrated and special.”

Park Eun-bin absolutely stole this drama
“Wonderfools” was chaotic in the best way possible 😭The cast chemistry honestly carried the whole drama for me. Park Eun-bin as Eun Chae-ni was SO GOOD — she perfectly balanced childish chaos, naughty energy, and emotional vulnerability. When Chae-ni learned about her heart condition, the emotional switch in her acting genuinely hit hard.
And the way Cha Eun-woo’s Lee Woon-jung quietly protected her from everyone’s carelessness instead of making it dramatic… those small moments worked really well for me.
The VFX and overall fantasy atmosphere were honestly better than I expected too. The powers looked fun instead of cheap, and the drama fully embraced the weird chaotic energy of its world.
I also liked that at some point I started feeling sympathy even for Ha Won-do’s side. Son Hyun-joo made the villain feel more human instead of just “evil scientist bad.” Though I do think the opposing villain group got nerfed later compared to how threatening they first felt.
And that last teaser with the mad scientist returning? Yeah… they definitely knew people would want more chaos 😭
The story had some uneven parts for me, but the acting, cast chemistry, comedy, emotional moments, and fun atmosphere made it a really memorable watch overall.
8/10.
