What is a Korean sitcom that pokes fun at the North Korean threat, the obsession with learning the English language and spoofs K-drama canon?
We couldn’t wait for a Goblin to show up (because, really, nobody holds a candle to the gorgeous Gong Yoo—get it?) so we copped the looks of his bride Ji Eun Tak and proceeded with our latest obsession: budget K-drama cosplay.
When KFC Philippines realized they had a Kim Shin look-alike on their staff, they couldn’t help but have a little fun. In the hit Korean drama “Guardian: The Lonely and

Maybe Tom Holland really is Spider-Man. While speaking to the reporters, Holland is sitting back in his chair with his feet pushing against the table, nimbly balancing on one chair leg for minutes at a time. He’s wearing Spider-Man socks.
Once upon a time, the internet didn’t make it easy to publicly express one’s opinions, share stories, or spread fake news.
