Kim and Park star as lifelong friends whose bitter rivalry erupts into conflict at every turn in this melodramatic and infuriating K-drama

3/5 stars

Lead cast: Kim Go-eun, Park Ji-hyun

As the adage goes, with friends like these, who needs enemies? This certainly applies to the female protagonists of You and Everything Else.

Written by Song Hye-jin (The Smile Has Left Your Eyes) and directed by Jo Young-min (Do You Like Brahms?), this unabashedly melodramatic roller coaster chronicles their lives as they are repeatedly torn apart and thrown back together through a series of life’s challenges – some unavoidable, others very much of their own making.
