S Line could just be the most genius K-Drama of 2025. Because sex and secrets!
If you're the type who's always up for a K-drama that messes with your mind while making you question your morals (and, occasionally, your sanity), 'S Line' should be firmly on your radar. There are no slow-motion piggyback rides or love triangles fuelled by shared umbrellas. Instead, this one kicks open the door with a premise so wildly original, it'll have your brain short-circuiting before the opening credits are the heart of 'S Line' is a provocative concept. In this world, the sexual relationships between people are exposed as literal red lines. Yes, visible to the naked eye. Imagine walking down the street and being able to see who's been intimate with whom. You won't need a Coldplay concert and a kiss cam to find out what's going on with the CEO and the Head of HR. You'll just need a pair of supernatural glasses and a taste for scandalous tea. It's a rather oddball take on the Red String Theory. For those unversed, the Red String Theory suggests that an invisible red thread connects soulmates, binding them together regardless of time, place, or circumstance. Now, onto the plot. This isn't just shock value for the sake of it, though. The drama dives deep into the chaos that would follow if our most intimate secrets were laid bare shame, judgment, societal collapse (and probably a few very tense family dinners). It's a razor-sharp commentary on privacy, perception, and how fragile society's moral compass really is when the curtains get pulled if you're thinking, 'Okay, cool idea, but does it deliver?' Oh, absolutely. 'S Line' doesn't just throw its characters into a voyeuristic nightmare and call it a day, it wraps this world in a gripping murder mystery. Someone's dead. The truth is buried. And that mysterious red string of connection? That might just be the key. It's suspense with teeth, every episode drips with tension, slowly unravelling a conspiracy that's both personal and cast? Nothing short of magnetic. Lee Soo-hyuk (whom you might know from 'Tomorrow') leads with his trademark icy elegance, turning in one of his most layered performances to date. Lee Da-hee (from 'The Divorce Insurance') brings a fierce vulnerability, while K-pop group Oh My Girl's Arin surprises with emotional range that proves she's no longer just the rookie on the scene. Each character feels raw, real, and heartbreakingly human, even when they're tangled in a reality that's anything in case you needed more convincing, 'S Line' has already made waves internationally, winning Best Music at the Cannes International Series Festival and sparking online buzz before it even dropped. It's bold, it's stylish, and it's got the kind of concept that makes you question whether your phone camera is watching you a little too a world where social media already blurs the line between public and private, 'S Line' asks what if that line wasn't just blurred, it was visible to everyone? If you're looking for something sleek, unsettling, and thought-provoking, 'S Line' isn't just worth watching, it's impossible to ignore. You can watch the show on Dailymotion.- Ends

What is the viral 'Tea' app allowing women to red-flag men?
Tea, a women-only app, allows users to anonymously share feedback with each other about the men they are dating, have dated previously or even interacted with. The app has gained popularity on TikTok and seems to be particularly popular with Gen Z. Here's what we know read more The app is gaining popularity among Gen Z. A new women-only app called Tea has gone viral. The app is named for after the expression 'spilling the tea' or sharing the gossip. It allows women to anonymously share feedback about the men they are dating, have dated previously or even interacted with in the past. The app, ironically, became more popular at the same time that the Coldplay cheating saga unfolded. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular apps in different app stores. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But what do we know about Tea? How does it work? Let's take a closer look: What do we know? How does it work? The app was founded by Sean Cook, who previously worked at Salesforce and Shutterfly. Tea is gaining popularity on TikTok. It seems to be particularly popular with Gen Z and amongst West Asian communities. The app currently has over 500,000 users. It currently has a waiting list of around 900,000 to join. It has skyrocketed to the top of the ranks for free apps on the Apple store. It is also available on Android phones. The chat features a 'Group Chat' in which women can share experiences about men and dating among themselves. Women can post photos of the men they're dating and list 'green flags' and 'red flags'. They can also solicit information from other women who have dated the same man and their backgrounds. While some features are free, others are behind a paywall. After five free searches, women can shell out $15 (Rs 1,300). Or they can gain unlimited searches by inviting others to join Tea. Tea has received over 16,000 five-star ratings. The chat features a 'Group Chat' in which women can share experiences about men and dating. Image courtesy: 'Unlike anything else out there, this app is designed with women's safety, awareness, and empowerment as its top priority,' one review reads. 'It goes beyond basic dating protection and truly provides a layer of defense against liars, cheaters, scammers, and even predators.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, most of the reviews of men on the app appear to be negative. The app also has a real-time verification mechanism to prevent men from gaining access to it. 'If you get past the waiting list, you have to submit a pic of your face with an ID to prove you are a girl because no guys are allowed on the app,' one user told 'The guys that are green flags, I was trying to look them up on social media and like, oh, this is a good guy. So both ends of the spectrum are dictating my dating life right now'. It uses Artificial Intelligence to conduct background checks on its users. It also has catfish detection technology which allows users to reverse image search and uncover fake profiles. Phone number lookup helps verify if someone has a hidden marriage or concerning history with their phone number. Women can also look up public records of men and check their criminal history. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Cook has said he came up with the idea for the app after watching his mother struggle in the online dating world. Not only did she get repeatedly scammed, she also got catfished on dating platforms. Sabrina Henriquez, 28, told Washington Post she found the app on TikTok. She said other women had discussed how the app helmed them. 'They were going to go on a date with a certain individual, but once they got on the app and saw how much of a safety hazard this man is because of the allegations of abuse, it kind of saved them from putting themselves in that situation,' Henriquez said. The data shows Cook is right. Not only are women at risk of being scammed on dating apps, they could also be in physical danger. A 2019 ProPublica report, conducted with Columbia Journalism Investigations, showed that a one-third of 1,200 women had been sexually assaulted by men they met on dating apps. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'With millions of women facing online dating risks daily, I knew there had to be a better way,' Cook has said. 'Tea was built to provide women with an easy way to vet potential dates without fear instantly. Dating should be exciting, not dangerous-and we're here to revolutionise online dating safety for women.' Tea also donates 10 per cent of its profits to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. While women have praised the app on social media, men have not. It is currently available in the United States. What do critics say? Some are worried about the app possibly being misused. Others have raised issues of privacy for the men whose photos and information have been put up on the app. 'The app could easily be used to spread unverified accusations — especially with its anonymous nature — and could even be used as a revenge tool,' Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at ESET, told Forbes. 'While its intentions are simple and protective, the unregulated format could unfortunately open it up to abuse,' he says. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD They predict a slew of lawsuits for the app. Experts say that the women posting on the app should do so carefully. Attorney William Barnwell told 'I could see some areas where this could cause people some big problems'. 'Truth is an absolute defence for a defamation claim; you can't just sue someone because your feelings are hurt'. 'You can be saying something that is true, but it's being used in a way to constantly harass somebody. There are laws that cover that,' Barnwell added. 'In people's outrage to want to out these bad people, it might be better to walk away.' With inputs from agencies

Why are we still listening to Himesh Reshammiya?
Composer-turned-singer-turned-actor-turned-meme, Himesh Reshammiya, in that order, is back. This time as a rockstar. Going by the excitement around his recent Cap Mania tour (the organisers had to add a second show in Delhi) and community singalongs during his recently sold-out stadium shows in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, literally inspired by the cap he began wearing due to hair loss, one thing is clear: there is a market for everything if you put the right spin to it. Add a giant cap hydraulically lifted up, a bright red stage, lots of confetti, laser lights, pyrotechnics and a click on the rewind button to the 2000s — Reshammiya's peak years and when a lot of the music was overproduced, catchy and therefore, accessible — it's a recipe for frenzy. Millennials and their parents are converging in droves. Not because the songs with some of the most absurd lyrics (Tera pyaar hookah bar (Khiladi 786), Tandoori nights (Karzzzz), Ice-cream khaungi (The Xpose) and some of the more respectable ones, like Aashiq banaaya aapne, Tere naam and Teri yaad saath hai (Namaste London), have travelled well and greyed. They are coming because they themselves have. And, perhaps, had no idea that they longed for these reminders of heartbreaks, of college canteen mimicry sessions, the first introduction to Deepika Padukone in Naam hai tera, in their current lives, which come with expendable income meeting this need for raw, unadulterated entertainment. The nasal twang, the cap and the floor-touching trench coats in the humid weather of Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai of the 'Jai mata di, let's rock' spouting guy we once mocked, are all acceptable now and part of a shared experience with friends and family. It is unrefined, and this, in today's terms, not pretentious territory. What if it is sloppy? People in Delhi are leaving judgment at home and gyrating to Hookah bar like it is 2005. And it's a cultural phenomenon worth noticing. Reshammiya has likely hired some smart branding and PR teams to make this so-bad-it's-stuck music marketable at a time when there is no dearth of good music. Looks like these corporate honchos have nailed the cap to the head: they have figured that in the nostalgia-fed space that is run by Insta reels, Reshammiya fits in nice and easy. His self-deprecating humour: 'Naak se gaun kya? (Should I sing in my nasal voice?),' he asked in Mumbai, was a one-of-a-kind feat. In an industry where people guard their public persona with such care, Reshammiya's self-parody is making him relevant to Gen Z. A post shared by Himesh Reshammiya (@realhimesh) How did this happen? In one year, how did we start with Diljeet Dosanjh, go to Bryan Adams, to Coldplay and Guns N Roses, and then to waving phone flashlights at Himesh Reshammiya? Barring some of his fun compositions sung by other singers, most of this music isn't innovative. What Reshammiya has been calling '50 hits in a row' in his recent interviews — and, yes, quite a few were commercially successful — were just earworms that once quarried into our brains and became guilty pleasures. There is certainly enough help from the idea of FOMO — a thriving live-music industry in a spiral mode — where newness is the currency. Add to it, the need to find an echo to something familiar, even if it is lousy. That it is somewhat cringe is half the fun. And that Reshammiya is earnest in presenting it all in the same old style, is bringing people in. Pair this with a brilliant band and live dancers and fire stunts and you have a winner. The evolution of Reshammiya is an interesting story. Born and raised in a Gujarati family, he is the son of composer Vipin Reshammiya, who gave his son the early exposure to music by taking him for recording sessions at the age of 14. Reshammiya began his career with TV show title tracks and debuted with the Salman Khan-starrer Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya (1998). In those years, he was constantly composing, building a stockpile of tunes and presenting them to producers. Which is also why he could do so much music at a given time. This was very different from other composers who created tunes according to the situation and brief for a particular film. Reshammiya's music was, at least for the initial few years, all about taking the pick. He composed for films like Dil Maange More (2004); Tere Naam (2003); Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005); Humraaz (2002); Aitraaz (2004); Hello Brother (1999), followed by his superhit album Aapka Suroor (2006). It was, at best, mediocre. It worked. Also Read | Himesh Reshammiya is having a moment again — and honestly, it's glorious But as for the Himesh hysteria of the present and a title like 'Lord Himesh' floating around, let's be clear: This isn't any music revolution or a lesson in what is or isn't profound, as if Reshammiya missed out on his due then. Yes, his return, against good taste and all the odds, is working. But not because the music is crafty. It's because there is something sadly sweet about looping back to what we once knew, even if it was a cringe fest. Now that it is back like a spectacle, the theatre of the absurd has come with its own ways. And the audience is eager to indulge. Those singing in tune are wondering if they will be next.
