Go Yoon-jung held on to Ku Gyo-hwan’s collapse… “I won’t let him go through fear” (Mochamu-ssa)

[Sports Donga Reporter Lee Su-jin] Koo Kyo-hwan stood back up after overcoming his fear.

In the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness,' which aired on the 16th, Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan), who had been suffering from extreme anxiety ahead of his film-director debut, regained his strength with the support of Byun Eun-a (Go Youn-jung).

That day, after signing the support contract with the Film Promotion Association, Hwang Dong-man was crushed by a heavy sense of responsibility. Around him, realistic advice such as “You’ll want to run away hundreds of times” was followed by demands to delete malicious posts, and Hwang Dong-man gradually became more intimidated.

Even in front of the celebration cake, rather than looking forward to success, he began by repenting, saying, “I did wrong.” It was because he realized that he too had once wished for someone else’s failure.

Watching this, Byun Eun-a said, “If you want to run away, I’ll let you run away,” adding, “I won’t let you go through the same fear I went through.” She then embraced Hwang Dong-man like a 'strong mom,' bringing a lump to the throat.

Afterward, Hwang Dong-man, encouraged by Byun Eun-a, imitated a rookie director award acceptance speech and confessed, “If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been standing here.”

But another crisis remained. A loan shark sent exposure texts to his acquaintances, pressuring Hwang Dong-man. Hwang Dong-man, who had even resorted to loansharks to pay for his pet cat's treatment, was increasingly cornered.

However, Hwang Dong-man no longer wavered. He went directly to the creditor and fought back, saying, “Right now I need something scary. If you show it properly, 10 million won won’t be a waste.” When the creditor, overwhelmed by his momentum, backed off, Hwang Dong-man shouted, “There’s no evil in me, only strength!” and showed an awakened side of himself.

Meanwhile, Oh Jeong-hui (Bae Jong-ok) immediately sensed the existence of Byun Eun-a, who was hiding behind the pen name 'Yeong-sil,' creating new tension.

Episode 10 of 'Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' airs on the 17th at 10:30 p.m.
