Actress Go Youn-jung is leaving a deep impression on viewers with her so-called “Green Light lines” in the JTBC weekend drama ‘Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness’ (hereafter ‘Mo-Ja-Mu-Ssa’). Playing the role of PD Byeon Eun-ah at Choi Film, Go Youn-jung is creating a true “life character” with her delicate acting that blends sharp insight and warm sensibility.
In this work that depicts the search for peace among those fighting their own sense of worthlessness, let’s look back at some of Byeon Eun-ah’s most memorable lines that moved viewers.
# “If you don’t say anything, it feels like you don’t even exist” (Episode 1)
While others treat Dong-man (played by Koo Kyo-hwan) as mere “noise” and gossip about him to be quiet, Eun-ah is the only one who sees through to his essence. Her words, “How can you be quiet,” served as a powerful acknowledgment for all the “Dong-mans” of the world who are struggling to prove their existence.
# “I feel like you’re a person with a thousand doors wide open” (Episode 3)
This is the moment when Eun-ah, known as the “Axe” for her harsh critiques, discovers Dong-man’s potential. By noticing the warmth and raw charm in Dong-man that others missed and telling him, “You’re much cooler than the protagonist in the scenario,” she provided a sense of salvation that felt like giving him the whole world.
# “A movie director,” “The PD in charge” (Episode 4)
Eun-ah appeared like a savior to the unemployed Dong-man, who was hesitating to reveal his profession at the police station. By calling him a “movie director” and introducing herself as the “PD in charge,” she gave Dong-man a reason to keep going, leaving viewers with a strong thrill.
# “She’s a quiet child, but she’s not an easy or weak one” (Episode 5)
Eun-ah’s strength did not waver even when she became the target of criticism. Her sharp retort to the CEO of Choi Film (played by Choi Won-young), who tried to belittle her, gave office-worker viewers a sense of catharsis and reminded them of the importance of maintaining a confident attitude to protect oneself.
In this way, Go Youn-jung is enhancing the quality of the drama by delivering quiet but certain comfort against the world’s harsh standards of worthlessness.
