Here’s a collection of quotes from the Korean series, You And Everything Else (2025):
Episode 1
“I hate that you’re fine. I want to see you ruined, like me.” – Cheon Sang Yeon
“My mom told me that the yeon in my name means swallow. Swallow are drifters, so my dream is to be a deadbeat drifter.” – Cheon Sang Yeon
“Whether it’s not having a dad or a mom, it’s sad not being able to see the ones you love. Yet, for some reason, when I was younger, I felt ashamed about not having a dad. I didn’t feel that way when I was alone, but in front of others, I think I felt embarrassed.” – Ms Yoon Hyun Sook
“This is the space you hold in your heart for your dad. Your dad’s not with you now, so it’s empty, and that makes you sad. But it’s up to you to decide what to fill this space with. If you decide to fill this space like this, you could fill it up with goodness. There it’s full.” – Ms Yoon Hyun Sook
“On days when you’re sad, write a journal. Not the sort of journal you write for homework, but about how you really feel.” – Ms Yoon Hyun Sook
“You’re right. Our own feelings can be confusing. Nevertheless, it’s important to try to understand your own feelings. It’s a rather exciting journey too.” – Ms Yoon Hyun Sook

“You’re the first person I’ve invited over.” – Ryu Eun Jung
“I can never forget those ten seconds I shared with Cheon Sang Hak. Sang-hak told me to set the shutter speed to 125, but I set it to 60. Because 1/60th of a second is longer than 1/125th of a second. I wanted to stay in that photo with him for just a while longer.” – Ryu Eun Jung
