Netflix K-drama Friendly Rivalry review: Lee Hye-ri in edgy high school mystery thriller
3.5/5 stars Advertisement Lead cast: Lee Hye-ri, Chung Su-bin, Kang Hye-won, Oh Woo-ri The high school thriller has long been a popular genre in Korean media and it is no surprise why.

The drama comes from the fact that these characters constantly yo-yo in opposition. Occasionally they briefly bounce in unison, before breaking apart again.

Fry them, boil them, steam them, mash them – no matter how you slice or cook them, you'll probably wind up with a tasty dish. Advertisement The same, alas, cannot be said for The Potato Lab, a rigidly formulaic Korean drama series that does not dare stray from the tried and true recipe of the workplace romantic comedy.
