You and Everything Else | 은중과 상연 | Episode 01

The drama starts and we learn about a mysterious friendship between Eun Jung and Sang Yeon, a popular actress.  Eun Jung is on the phone with a friend who asks if she knows Cheon Sang Yeon and she says she does.  The friend tells her to watch the awards show from the previous night.  Eun Jung watches and she hears Sang Yeon say that Eun Jung was the source of her inspiration (or something like that).

In a flashback (when Eun Jung's friend starts to read the draft of a story she had started to write), we learn how Sang Yeon came into Eun Jung's life.  She was a transfer student from the best private school in Seoul, where she had excellent grades. 

Eun Jung went with her mother to an apartment she was going to be cleaning before the new tenants moved in.  Upon entering, Eun Jung was amazed as she had never been in an apartment before.  After getting permission from her mother, she walked around the apartment to explore. It blew her mind when she saw there were 2 bathrooms.  She opened a door and left a cute sticky note and wrote "You're so lucky".

For most of this episode, we learn about their complicated "relationship" when they were kids.  We learn about the teacher that was kind to Eun Jung and whom her first love was.  I could say more here but I'd be spoiling the story.

This episode ends with Eun Jung's friend (sorry, I didn't catch her name. I'm going to have to look it up) asking her why she suddenly stopped writing.  As they are talking, Eun Jung gets a phone call from a number she doesn't recognize.  It's Sang Yeon.  She wants to meet because she has something to tell her.

When they meet, Eun Jung seems annoyed that she agreed to meet (this is how it felt to me) and she was short with Sang Yeon when she got there.  Sang Yeon says she has something to tell her but isn't sure how to tell her.  Frustrated, Eun Jung tells her to just say it.  So she does. Sang Yeon hands her an envelope that has a plane ticket.  Sang Yeon tells her to look at the rest of what is inside.  She looks up at Sang Yeon who tells her she hopes she will help her.

When she blurted out to Eun Jung what she wanted to say I said to myself "Oh no, it's gonna be one of those dramas.

Borrowed the pics below from dramabeans.com and I added the names
