Marry My Husband is the perfect show to watch for anyone missing Park Min-young and Park Seo-joon's romance K-drama, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. After taking a two-year break from Korean dramas, Park Min Young returned to the small screen as Kang Ji-won in Marry My Husband. The romantic K-drama follows Ji-won, a woman who is down on her luck and is stuck in a loveless and abusive marriage. Ji-won dies and wakes up 10 years before the events that lead to her death and is given a second chance at life.
Marry My Husband is more than just a romance K-drama given that it combines other elements such as revenge and time travel. Like in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, Park Min-young's character is one of the best things about Marry My Husband. Although she has starred in several other K-dramas, she is mostly recognized for her role as Kim Mi-so,...

After the release of Black Myth: Wukong, everyone became quite sure that the first Aaa title from Game Science was going to win the Game of the Year award in 2024. The game sold 20 million copies in a short time and set an example for every developer on how to make a perfect video game.

Despite all of these accolades, Astro Bot was eventually crowned with the most coveted title in the gaming world, shocking the entire gaming fraternity. Again, Tga 2024 proved that the event was more of a status-maintaining act rather than actually acknowledging true excellence. However, losing this award has actually done a lot of good for Black Myth: Wukong.

The Game Awards 2024 has come and gone, leaving a trail of confetti, tears, and more than a few raised eyebrows in its wake. While some developers are busy polishing their shiny new trophies, others are left to ponder the age-old question: “What does it take to win Game of the Year, anyway?”

Among those scratching their heads is Feng Ji, CEO of Game Science, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Black Myth: Wukong. But rather than sulking in a corner or rage-tweeting about the injustice of it all, Ji has taken to Chinese social media platform Weibo with a message that’s equal parts philosophical and determined.

The K-drama The Trunk is one of those twisted shows you need some time to marinate in and understand. This is especially because the storytelling isn’t linear, which leaves us as an audience wondering what happened when and how it connects to the story in the moment. In this article, I’ll try to lay out the story in a linear format for easy access. The TV show, based on the novel of the same name, tells the story of a contract marriage that completely changes lives. The psychological romance-thriller is intriguing from start to finish but can definitely feel like it’s rushing by if you can’t pay full attention. There are three main protagonists in the show: Jeong-Won, the husband; In-Ji, the new wife, i.e., the contract wife; and Seo-Yeon, the ex-wife. We’ll start with the events that took place 5 years before the main event of the show,...

The "Shonen Dark Trio" consisting of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Hell's Paradise have gained immense popularity due to their gritty aesthetic, cynicism, and subversion of shonen tropes. Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Hell's Paradise have had a significant influence on the overall tone and success of the genre, with their darker themes, violence, and realistic stakes setting them apart from traditional shonen stories. Jujutsu Kaisen's hiatus has led to increased interest in the other parts of the Shonen Dark Trio, further solidifying their status as beloved and influential franchises in the anime and manga industry.
Shonen manga and anime are easily some of the most popular. The rise in popularity of anime has been pushed by a few franchises in particular, with some actually surpassing the current hype of old stalwarts.

The new film Role Play knows exactly what it’s doing when it adds a Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibe to the plot, with slight changes. We have a story about a couple who don’t know the reality of their marriage. The wife is a hired assassin, and the husband has no idea about it. The comedy stems from the fact that he is a simple guy who gets embroiled in his wife’s double life, and it all begins when the couple engages in a role-play exercise to spice things up in their marriage.

The only certainty in life is death. What actually happens when you reach that inevitable end has long been the subject of philosophical debate and in Death & Ramen, filmmaker Tiger Ji takes us on the poignant final journey of a ramen chef who finds himself at the crossroads of life and death. His genre-blending buddy comedy features an awkward grim reaper, played by Matt Jones whose routine job is disturbed by a puking Bobby Lee whose only desire before facing the afterlife is a steaming hot bowl of Kimchi Ramen. Tiger’s short takes us on this contemplative, hilarious journey with tact, nuance and a deep consideration of life and what may lay beyond it. It’s not easy to create a film that opens with a suicide attempt that makes you laugh and hanker for ramen in equal measure, but Tiger has done exactly that and Death & Ramen manages...

The Dceu's soft reboot means that many old characters, like Superman and Batman, will not return in the new DC Universe. Several characters in the old Dceu had deaths that could have been undone, such as Emil Hamilton and Faora-Ul, if the franchise had continued. Characters like Jimmy Olsen, Dick Grayson, and Green Lantern were also affected by the Dceu's end, with their potential storylines and revivals cut short.
The DC Extended Universe has a handful of character deaths that might not have been intended to last but ultimately did. After a decade of DC Comics film adaptations, the Dceu will be soft-rebooted into the DC Universe, ending all potential future installments for the old franchise. This, unfortunately, means that many of the old Dceu’s characters, like Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman, will not return in the Dcu, nor could seemingly dead characters return in some form.

One of life’s most beautiful bonds exists between grandparents and grandchildren. While grandparents’ life experiences, stories, and wisdom contain valuable lessons that contribute to our personal growth, they also share an extraordinary bond of friendship which leads to unforgettable moments.

In the Oni Press comic book miniseries, a Mr. Meeseeks from the show becomes a supervillain, leading to cosmic in-canon repercussions. Rick's "Time Travel Stuff" box is actually a trap, filled with bomb-making materials, adding in-canon significance to an ongoing meta-joke. The opening of every episode where Rick and Morty flee from a pursuing Cthulhu reveals that the baby in the cabin actually belongs to Morty.
Rick and Morty is a series that has transcended the original Adult Swim animated show. From anime to comic books, Rick and Morty lore continues to deepen and expand in increasingly interesting ways. This means that if someone just watches the cartoon, they’re only getting a fraction of the story.
While it’s true that many of the offshoot Rick and Morty stories presented in comics and the anime specials don’t impact the Rick and Morty of C-137, that’s not always the case.

Mumbai, March 24 (Ians) Veteran actor and politician Raj Babbar recalled working in the multi-starrer film ‘Hum Paanch’ in 1980 with director Bapu and producer Boney Kapoor. He shared a fun memory related to a dance sequence in the film and joked about himself and his co-actors Nasiruddin Shah, Gulshan Grover, and Uday Chandra by calling everyone a “good dancer” except Mithun Chakraborty.
Though in reality it was just the opposite. He said: “Back then, during the ‘Hum Paanch’ shoot, there were about 1,000-1,500 dancers, and it was Boney Kapoor’s first film. Nasiruddin Shah, Me, Gulshan Grover, and Uday Chandra were very good dancers who struggled with every move, while Mithun Chakraborty, who was a very bad dancer, nailed every step perfectly in just one shot. We all were tense seeing this. Our dance director at the time was Kamal(Kumar) ji, who was strict but a big star director.”
