Koo Kyo-hwan Stars as Aspiring Director in New JTBC Drama 'Fighting Against One's Worthlessness'

Actor Koo Kyo-hwan takes on the role of Hwang Dong-man, a man dreaming of making his directorial debut for 20 years, in the upcoming JTBC drama 'Fighting Against One's Worthlessness'.

Set to premiere on the 18th, JTBC's new weekend drama 'Fighting Against One's Worthlessness' (abbreviated as 'FAOW') explores the journey of a man driven to madness by jealousy and envy among his successful friends, as he seeks peace. The drama is expected to resonate with audiences by addressing the universal feeling of anxiety and aims to turn the red light of worthlessness into a green light of hope.

In 'FAOW', Koo Kyo-hwan portrays Hwang Dong-man, who struggles with feelings of worthlessness amidst his successful peers in the film industry. To hide his insecurities, he engages in a constant internal battle.

Recently, behind-the-scenes cuts from the 'FAOW' poster shoot featuring Koo Kyo-hwan were released. Surrounded by stacks of scripts, books, a well-worn camcorder, and old equipment, Dong-man's determination and years of effort towards his directorial debut are evident. His unwavering, intense gaze, undeterred by the scars on his face, hints at the fierce internal struggle he has endured for two decades.

'Fighting Against One's Worthlessness' premieres on the 18th at 10:40 PM.
