How Korean Drama ‘Lovely Runner’ showcased Love in All Forms
This article contains heavy spoilers. Read with caution. Love is in everything we do, it’s in how we tell our friends to take care after we hang out, it’s in how we prepare meals for our family, it’s in how we watch and consume the media we enjoy. Love is especially present in the hit Korean drama “Lovely Runner” starring Kim Hyeyoon and Byeon Wooseok, where love transcends all and becomes the catalyst to the happy ending it has. The series follows the story of Im Sol (Hyeyoon) being the biggest fan of idol Ryu Sunjae (Wooseok). Sol was once an aspiring film director whose dreams were crushed when she got into an accident that paralyzed her, yet Sunjae was able to give her hope to keep going in life.

Power Rangers Review: "Green With Evil (Part II: Jason's Battle)"

Rita Repulsa decided that it was time to mold someone into becoming her Green Ranger, and that someone ended up being the new kid at Angel Grove High School, Tommy Oliver. As the Green Ranger, Tommy made quite the diabolical impression--destroying the Command Center, thus putting Zordon out of commission, and crashing Megazord and beating the Rangers.

Review: Inside Out 2
While I didn't see the first Inside Out movie in theatres, I am a long-time fan of it. Insight Out does a great job of making our emotions, our instincts, understandable, rationalising without making excuses. I haven't enjoyed a Psychological deep-dive so much since my Beloved got me hooked into Sanders Sides. (She's still smug about that)
