46 best Korean dramas on Netflix
Trust us, you’ll be hooked.
Remember when Squid Game first dropped, and the world collectively lost it?
Well, now that the final season has aired, there are plenty more Korean dramas on Netflix that are deserving of our attention. In fact, we’ve done the hard work and rounded up some of the very best Korean dramas that Netflix has to offer – yep, it’s a tough old job.
We suggest the likes of When Life Gives You Tangerines and The Good Bad Mother, which is about a mother and son’s relationship having a second shot after years of trauma. And is there any better gym motivation than Physical: 100, a game show where 100 athletes compete in a series of gruelling challenges to win tons of cash?

Is Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen Netflix’s next Baby Reindeer?
Starring The Night Manager‘s Camila Morrone.
We’ve found the new TV show that’s about to take over our laptops, social media, and minds.
Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is Netflix’s newest atmospheric horror series is set to follow in the footsteps of previous viral hits like Baby Reindeer and Beef. In fact, it’s directed by Weronika Tofilska, who also helmed Baby Reindeer.
Creator and showrunner Haley Z. Boston takes viewers down the aisle of a spine-tingling — and ultimately doomed — wedding. It’s not a show of jump scares; as Boston puts it, the tone is “unsettling, getting-under-your-skin dread,” mixed with character-driven storytelling. “I love to explore characters. I think sometimes that’s lacking in the horror genre,” she says. “My natural approach is from a place of character and dialogue and humour, and then infusing that with unsettling horror … I’m like, ‘I want to be unsettled. I want to be freaked out.’ ”

Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia Broke Their Molds
Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia are talking about evolution. Not biologically speaking; they are primarily concerned, at this very moment, with artistic evolution.
Cameron is partway through an answer about what led her to a role in the upcoming Prime Video thriller 56 Days: “I’m not the first person to come to the top of mind for a lot of producers for something like this, because I think a lot of people still see me through a near ancient lens at this point.” Jogia turns to Cameron then, broaching if he could interject to ask his own question. Cameron nods, and Jogia says: “I find it frustrating when they can’t conceive of the evolution of an actor. Do you find that as well, or is it different for you?” Cameron nods again, and then considers her answer for a moment. “I do take small issues with people discrediting who you become, because they prefer who you were. So that is something that I do think is not industry specific.”

Dylan Mulvaney Is Finally a Broadway Leading Lady, Haters Be Damned
The social media star opens up about her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning musical Six, her goals for dating in NYC, and all the Bud Light drama she survived to get here.
Once I stepped into my womanhood, I felt like the main character of my life,” Dylan Mulvaney tells me, while sipping her lemon drop. “So now that means that I can be the main character on stage.” The social media star and I are dining at Arno, a traditional Italian restaurant, on a frigid evening in January in lower Midtown, a stone’s throw from Penn Station. There’s a good reason we’re dining in a less-than-ideal location—Arno is blocks away from Ripley-Grier Studios, where Mulvaney has just spent the day rehearsing for her Broadway debut as the second, and most infamous, of Henry VIII’s wives, Anne Boleyn, in the Tony-winning musical Six.

Wearing Your Clothes Backwards Is Trending Right Now. How To Style Coats, Shirts And Knits In Reverse
Naturally, Alexa is all over this one.
Gratuit (read: free, but everything sounds better in French) styling hacks have come into their own over the last few seasons. We’ve all slung our sweaters over our shoulders, and perhaps slightly fewer of us have fastened silk scarves around our hips. The latest styling hack being put forward on and off the catwalk is part novelty, part fun and certainly yields some directional results.
Enter the advent of wearing your clothing back to front. Move those front-facing buttons around to the back and allow the back seam of a coat to have its moment in the spotlight.

Brightly Coloured Trainers Are Spring’s Statement Style. These Are The 11 Best, From Adidas To Nike
Your shortcut to brighter days.
Now that trainers have cemented their place at the centre of everyday wardrobes, the appetite for directionally-driven styles and colour-ways reaches far beyond classic white pairs.
Colourful trainers offer an instant point of difference, becoming a go-to for anyone looking to inject a mood-boosting element into their outfit rotation. A pop of red can break up the monotony of monochrome outfits, while a flash of cobalt blue can transform your favourite jeans-and-tee formula into something fashion-forward. Whether it’s via Puma’s bright yellow Speedcats, Wales Bonner’s bright blue Karintha sneakers, or Adidas’s forest green Gazelles, bold coloured footwear is one of the quickest ways to elevate everyday ensembles.

The Velvet Nail Trend Is the Cat Eye’s Cooler, Softer Sister
Same magnetic polish, different technique.
Velvet nails are trending, and not because they’re super intricate or bold. It’s because the finish adds an extra, but super subtle, element. Instead of reading as a flat shimmer or glitter, the effect shifts as the hands move, giving the illusion of texture rather than sparkle (as the name suggests). Velvet nails are also closely tied to one of the biggest manicure finishes of 2026: cat eye. I’ve been seeing cat eye nails everywhere on my social feeds, and yes, they’re still one of the most-requested looks in salons, but velvet nails live right next door, and they’re my favorite of the two.

22 Soothing Recipes With Turmeric to Enliven Your Senses
Beloved for its time-honored healing properties, turmeric imparts earthy flavor and a gorgeous golden glow to a variety of dishes.
Turmeric has gotten a lot of buzz globally in recent years, but it’s held superstar status in its native India and Southeast Asia for thousands of years, where it’s prized not just for its culinary prowess but also for its healing properties. A member of the ginger family, it’s the plant’s underground stem, or rhizome, that’s used either fresh or dried, ground into a powder and sold as a spice. Turmeric owes its deep golden color to curcumin, a compound that’s been studied for potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

King Charles Breaks His Silence on Ex-Prince Andrew’s Arrest, Says “the Law Must Take Its Course”
The former Duke of York was arrested over his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein on February 19, which doubled as his 66th birthday.
It’s the type of history no one wants to make, and on one’s birthday, no less—on February 19, the day he turned 66 years old, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor became the first member of the royal family in modern history to be arrested.
The former Prince Andrew was arrested on the grounds of the Sandringham estate, his new home since earlier this month, at his new property, Wood Farm. That residence was raided by police, as was his former home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, where he lived for nearly 23 years prior to his exile earlier this month. Though Andrew faced sexual assault allegations, he was taken into custody under suspicion of misconduct in public office amid his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Formerly Prince Andrew, Arrested in U.K. on Suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office
The authorities “have our full and wholehearted support,” said King Charles in a statement after his brother was taken into custody over ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and brother to King Charles III, has been arrested in the U.K. and remains in police custody.
The BBC reported on Thursday that the Thames Valley police said a man in his 60s from Norfolk has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Authorities are carrying out searches at two addresses, with unmarked police cars spotted at the royal family‘s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk early in the morning.

Does “Wuthering Heights” Herald the Revival of the Film Romance?
Emerald Fennell’s new movie may be mediocre, but its popularity demonstrates the strength of a genre that Hollywood has all but abandoned.
The important thing about adaptations isn’t what’s taken out but what’s put in. Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights”—or, as she’d have it, “ ‘Wuthering Heights,’ ” complete with scare quotes—is the season’s second Frankenstein movie, because Fennell takes bits and pieces from Emily Brontë’s novel and, adding much of her own imagining, reassembles them into a misbegotten thing that wants only to be loved. And paying audiences seem to love it, even if many critics don’t.

Halle Berry Reveals Where Her Iconic ‘James Bond’ Orange Bikini Is Now, 23 Years Later
The actress famously played Jinx in the 2002 film ‘Die Another Day.’
Over two decades after Die Another Day was released, Halle Berry’s orange Bond girl swimsuit has cemented itself in film fashion lore as one of the most iconic swimwear moments of all time. So, what happened to the legendary bright orange bikini, which Berry famously styled as her character Jinx with a low-slung white leather belt and a knife tucked in at the waist?
While making an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Monday, Berry revealed where her James Bond bikini is now, 23 years later, when asked by an audience member.

How to Freeze Lemons—Whether You Need Juice, Zest, or Whole Fruit
It’s a simple and effective way to preserve this favorite citrus.
Everyone loves a bowl of sunny lemons on the counter—not just for their beautiful color and smell, but also for their seemingly endless uses. But when life hands you more lemons than you can handle, the best solution isn’t always to make lemonade—it might be the freezer. You can freeze lemons (and other citrus) when they’re in season, if they’re on sale, or to future-proof for a day when you can’t be bothered to go to the store. Learn how to freeze lemons, from zest to juice to whole fruits, and how long they will last, according to a citrus farmer.

10 Foods You Should Never Reheat in the Microwave—and Why
Plus, the best ways to warm them up instead.
Even professional chefs swear by their microwaves, the ultimate rapid-heat renegade of the kitchen. From gently melting chocolate to steaming vegetables, warming soups, or crisping bacon, this little powerhouse delivers speed and precision without heating up the whole house. Microwaves revolutionized home cooking in the 1960s, saving cooks countless hours and spawning an entire industry of ready-to-heat meals for busy lifestyles. But as much as we love their convenience, not every food can handle their inside-out, supercharged heat. Whether facing soggy fries and rubbery bread or real safety hazards, there are ten foods you should never microwave.

This Is How Much Time People Spend Doing Laundry Every Week (The Answer May Surprise You)
It’s one of the least favorite chores.
Much like dishes, laundry seems like a never-ending chore, with another load already accumulating in the hamper as soon as the last one is folded and put away. But have you ever wondered how much time you actually spend doing your laundry?
According to a survey conducted by national laundry service Poplin that asked 600 people about their laundry habits, approximately 49 percent said they spend more than three hours a week washing, drying, folding, putting away, and managing laundry.
This weekly chore is more than just time-consuming—almost 54 percent of survey respondents said they consider laundry to be one of their top stressors or annoyances.

I’ve Been an NYC Tour Guide for 30+ Years—Here’s the No. 1 Tip for Travelers Visiting the City
It’s the best way to see the city like a local.
I winced as I scanned the itinerary for a tour group I was about to lead from Louisiana. A licensed New York City tour guide since 1995, I recognized every stop on the three-day schedule as perfectly respectable—and entirely predictable: a Broadway show, a ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty, Top of the Rock, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, and Times Square.
The plan, created by the group and the tour company that hired me to execute it, read like a greatest-hits list of landmarks and Instagram backdrops. What didn’t make the cut was any meaningful time in the neighborhoods where New Yorkers actually live.

This Tiny European Country Has A Medieval City, Dazzling Waterfalls, and Free Public Transit—Here’s How to Plan a Trip
From an 11th-century castle to dramatic gorges, this compact country delivers outsized beauty and history.
Travelers often overlook tiny European countries, but, as I discovered on a recent trip to Luxembourg—Europe’s seventh-smallest nation, with a population of just 699,000—there’s much to discover in these hidden gems.
Last summer, I visited my aunt, who has lived in Europe for over 20 years, with stints in Paris, Vienna, Zug, Switzerland, and now, Luxembourg. We spent three days touring the historic city nestled between Belgium, Germany, and France. It’s built on a rocky plateau overlooking deep gorges, a sweeping canyon, and surrounding countryside.
