Recently, Hollywood cinema has not been rich in romantic comedies. But in Korea, rom-coms are alive and well — and one of the most popular sub-genres is the story of a rich guy and a poor girl.
After all, sometimes we all want to believe in a fairy tale, right?
1. Wedding Impossible, 2024
A-jeong is a very talented but very unsuccessful actress — she only gets supporting roles. A-jeong has a best friend Do-han. They have been friends since high school, but have not seen each other for a few years because Do-han has been living in New York.
He returns to Korea when he learns that his grandfather is sick. Do-han's grandfather wants to make him the new director of his company. And to get the shareholders to accept him, he will marry him to the heiress of another equally influential company.
But Do-han lies to his relatives that he has been...

King the Land has become a beloved show thanks to the chemistry between the two leads and the nostalgic tropes in the series. As much as we liked the old shows that aired from 2013 to 2016, there were some elements that we despised because of their overly dramatic nature. King the Land uses those tropes and spins the wheel on them to subvert our expectations in the last moment and give us a happy love story with less drama and more fun. This list contains some of the shows that have the same level of mush that kept you hooked to King the Land, or they may have a similar plot line. There’s something about these shows that will help you fill the Jun-ho x Yoona-sized hole in your heart (at least a little bit of it). Without any further delays, let’s get straight into the shows you...

Like many anxiety-ridden Americans, the first thing I do in the morning is roll over and check my email. Today (April 30th), I spotted a message from Peloton announcing three new kinds of scenic rides — the result of a specific licensing deal with Warner Music Group to soundtrack cycling journeys through, say, the Italian Alps, to the tune of tracks like Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling.”
Members can now choose their rides based on distance or length of time, and they can also take guided rides with instructors.

The German DJ-producer-label-owner Cinthie deploys an old R&b sample to lethal effect in “Concentrate,” a relentlessly buoyant house cut from her new album Skylines – City Lights.
Cinthie loops “Concentrate,” a track by the Gaturs and New Orleans R&b stalwart Willie Tee — Diddy borrowed from the same source on 1997’s “Do You Know?” — over a headlong kick drum and a bass line that would make Nile Rodgers proud. The tone of the instruments evokes turn-of-the-century French touch (Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better With You”) or pop that drew from...
