Mr. Sunshine
This first encounter with a Korean drama created a lifetime fan. A dynamic period piece set during the late Joseon Dynasty with an amazing screenplay, costumes, cinematography, and casting. This film weaves the tale of a beautiful, complicated love affecting the lives of several well-defined characters. A masterful, absorbing film.

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
