Or some gorgeous clip-in extensions from Luxy Hair so you can get the length without paying a professional to install 'em. So flawlessly beautiful with such incredible quality, you'll have to clear some space on your phone for all the selfies you'll take.
I have these, and holy crap, they're incredible. I've been wearing clip-ins for over 10 years now and can confidently say that these are the best quality I've ever used. They're thick as heck, the band is strong, and they feel so silky and luxurious it's almost unbelievable. My hair is a dark burgundy red, and they don't sell that shade, so I got the chestnut brown shade and dyed them... several times. I didn't wanna pay a professional to dye them, and I had a very hard time getting the extensions the exact same shade as my hair. I dyed them three times before they matched my hair (no bleach involved), and even after being dyed again and again, they still feel just as gorgeous as they did when I first opened the package (witchcraft). They come with instructions for how to take proper care of them, and they look beautiful once installed. I wore two packs of the clip-ins for a photoshoot, and whew! They looked stunning! They're perfection, and if you're gonna spend money on clip-ins, I recommend you spend your coins on these ones. I don't think any other company's clip-ins will ever be good enough for me again. I love themmmm, I'm wearing this brand forever.Get them from Luxy Hair for $235+ (available in three lengths, 35 colors, and two thicknesses).
A Cosrx snail mucin serum to help improve skin hydration and soothe damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick, but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
A pack of 240 pimple patches because a pimple is NOT ruining our day, babe! These patches use hydrocolloid material to help absorb all the gunk and tea tree oil and salicylic acid to speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Abracadabra, psh, what pimple? Reviewers are comparing these babies to the ever-so-popular Starface patches.
An E.l.f. lip balm that'll have you like *wait, are we sure that this isn't Laneige in disguise?* These hydrating, nourishing balms are packed with ingredients your lips will ~love~ like shea butter and hyaluronic acid, and they'll give you an ever-so-sheer tint. Plus, you could get all five for, like, the same price as ONE of the name-brand ones.
And their Glow Reviver melting lip balm, which not only comes in the most stunning shades, but it'll slick your pout DOWN with some deliciously buttery moisture without the sticky feeling. And that shine?! To die for. 😍
Promising review: "Diva, stop letting these influencers sway you into spending your hard-earned (and scarce) beans on $20–$30 subpar lip balms — you're paying for the brand, and the quality is questionable. E.l.f. KNOCKED THEM OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS! SO BUTTERY, SO YUMMY, SOOOOOOO MUCH PRODUCT!!!!! I wasn't expecting the tube to be so generous in size, by far the biggest amount I've seen from the market. The flavors are divine, the color payoff is even better than Summer Fridays… and it's only $9, you cannot go wrong. I just can't fathom any balm being priced above $12, E.l.f. always hits and barely misses. 🩷💋" —SONIAGet it from Amazon for $9 (available in six colors).
A piercing bump solution so you can help stop that little bump on your nose piercing that's tripled in size in two weeks from growing annnnyyyy more. Before you totally ditch your new piercing, let this stuff help heal and reduce the size of your keloid! I know, I know, I get 'em too, and yes, they can be terrifying to look at.
A jar of Truly Beauty boob polish made of an acai and retinol concoction that'll help smooth your skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and stretch marks, and brighten, firm, and tighten your chest skin. Bestie, I'm sure your tatas already look *absolutely amazing*, but if you've ever been intrigued by these beautiful jars at Ulta, (🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️) give this a try! And if anyone compliments your boobs, you can be like "oh yeah, I just had 'em polished."
Lottabody's super fluffy mousse — a lightweight option that'll help your curls air-dry into some super perfect hair. If you want tamed frizz, defined curls, and soft wraps, look no further, your fairy godmother has arrived, and she's surprisingly a bottle of mousse with coconut oil in it.
A bottle of Meltdown acne oil for anyone with acne-prone skin. This reviewer fave helps reduce acne, redness, and inflammation, and fades acne scars, all while preventing future breakouts. It also keeps you hydrated with rosehip oil and is cruelty-free! Mix this into your moisturizer, wear it under makeup, or use it as a spot treatment — this stuff is super versatile!
A pack of two tongue scrapers so your breath can be extraaaaa fresh. You won't believe how clean your tongue is or how much gunk it removes.

An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that's perfect for all skin types and will effectively get rid of makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while also helping prevent your pores from clogging up. In fact, it works *so* well, some reviewers say you can actually see the gunk and oil leave your face. You'll be kinda grossed out by the ick seeping out of your pores while also being totally in love with the results. Blackheads, be gone!
An Ogx leave-in conditioning cream to apply to your towel-dried hair for a magic trick. *Voila*, defined, bouncy curls that'll put a little extra pep in your step because of the way your curls bounce when you walk.
A mattifying, waterproof On Til' Dawn One/Size setting spray that Beyoncé used at her Renaissance concert in the pouring rain at her DC show — and Queen B's face was still beat to *absolute perfection* through the downpour. Yeah, this stuff has magic in it for sure, sign me up.
And a One/Size blurring setting powder, which I'm, like, 98% sure Fiona and Cordelia Goode from AHS: Coven conjured up. Silky smooth, poreless-looking, matte skin for up to 14 hours?! Where's the cauldron that this was made in?

This'll help you prevent AND get rid of those pesky suckers. Plus, it'll do the same for ingrown hairs, so you won't have to deal with the beach-day annoyance of a pus-filled bump.
A nail veil concealer that'll help smooth and hide any imperfections (if you even have any, you perfect little human, you). This sheer, buildable polish will have your nails looking like you just came fresh out of a salon.

1 person dead and multiple injured in fireworks explosion at Mohamed Ramadan concert in Egypt
One person is dead and multiple others are injured after a fireworks display malfunction at a Mohamed Ramadan concert Thursday night in a resort town on the north coast of Egypt. One of the fireworks canisters exploded the moment Ramadan came out on stage at the Porto Marina Theater, killing a member of the show's technical team responsible for operating the fireworks, according to Egypt's semi-official newspaper Al Ahram. The incident also injured at least six people, per the outlet's English counterpart. Ramadan, an Egyptian actor and musician, posted a video statement to his Instagram about the incident, extending his condolences to a victim he called "Hossam." Al Ahram identified the victim as Hossam Abdel Moneim, a 24-year-old graduate from Ain Shams University who worked in party planning and special effects for over a decade. "I extend my condolences to the family of Hossam, may God have mercy on him and grant him a place in his spacious paradise," Ramadan said in the video. "And grant patience to his loved ones, and his friends, and heal those who were injured." Ramadan said that he stopped the concert immediately after he saw what had happened. "I handled it like any human would, I went down to the audience and I helped get the injured to the ambulance," he said. "And I stopped the concert, and helped guide people so that their departure doesn't cause any crowd surge or additional accidents." Ramadan did not identify the victim beyond a first name, but alluded in his statement that the victim was working during the concert. Videos depicting the incident began circulating on social media shortly afterwards. One video shows Ramadan performing as an explosion go off near the stage. Seconds later, Ramadan can be heard saying "Stop, stop, stop!" before the music comes to a halt. Another video shows people in the audience carrying the body of a man who appears to be injured or deceased. Ramadan, who can be seen on the stage, is heard speaking into the mic, instructing them to bring the body on stage. The incident is being investigated by Egypt's Public Prosecution Office, according to Al Ahram. Ramadan has been gaining international recognition in recent years, releasing songs with French Montana, Future and Gims. His song, "Rayheen Neshar - Bum Bum" began going viral on TikTok in 2020. The artist posted to his Instagram that he will be performing again on Friday at another venue on Egypt's north coast.

The Best K-Dramas That Are Not on Netflix
For better or worse, Netflix is the king of the global K-drama phenomenon. The streamer has invested billions of dollars in South Korean TV—even if the people really driving K-drama's success appear to see little of it—and in return, 80% of subscribers watch Korean content as the streamer garners a bevy of awards for its trouble. Yet, as Netflix rushes productions an focuses on sequels, sometimes prioritizing celebrity over quality, other streamers have swooped in to fight for their piece of the pie. Which might come as a surprise to some fans, with Disney and Prime Video consistently going minimal when it comes to marketing their K-dramas in the West. But if they won't tell you about the surprisingly great K-dramas that aren't on Netflix, by gum, we will. Given the rate at which Disney spews out content, it's no surprise that Hulu and Disney+ dominate this list, though there's a surprising amount of platform diversity as Prime Video and even Tubi capitalize on our continuing enthusiasm for South Korean media. That said, one streamer that doesn't appear is Viki—a platform devoted entirely to Asian content. An argument could be made that it deserves its own list. However, a clutch of issues, including limited versatility regarding devices and a hard-to-justify cost for general viewers in a sea of streamers offering a broader array of content, makes it increasingly hard to recommend. We also excluded shows that, while not Netflix originals, are consistently available to watch on Netflix (most notably, My Mister and Reply 1988, both justifiably regarded as two of the finest K-dramas). Those limitations don't even remotely dent our options though. The titles listed below evoke the K-drama at its best—exploring the depths of human emotion, the power of community, and the importance of truth—and, in many ways, a level of quality that's become harder to find. Moving (Hulu; Disney+ outside the U.S.) You can't discuss the best K-dramas without including Moving. At the height of superhero fatigue in 2023, Kang Full—adapting his 2015 webtoon—fashioned a fresh take by asking: What if super powers sucked? Gone is the tired exceptionalism of American superheroes as Kang places them on the fringes of society. A desperate, frightened group pursued by a government that perceives a threat in their otherness. On a personal level, Moving's allegory of superpowers as disability—cemented by disabled superhero Lee Jae-man (Kim Sung-kyun)—is an overdue approach to the genre. From a broader K-drama perspective, its focus on bringing people together, on empathy, and on dispelling the perceived barriers of our differences—led by literal power couple Bong-seok (Lee Jung-ha) and Jang Hui-soo (Go Young-jang)—elevates it above the stumbling output of the MCU and Netflix's cynical attempt to capitalize on its success with the mostly horrid The Atypical Family. As I wrote in 2023, it's almost unfair to call Moving a superhero show. It's a category of television unto itself. Revenant (Hulu; Disney+ outside the U.S.) 2023 was a big year for Disney and K-drama—and this list, it turns out. Before Moving became a word-of-mouth sensation, Revenant offered a tour through the greatest hits of South Korean folk horror to remind us what we're missing as western horror increasingly shifts to hastily-assembled franchises like the Conjuring universe and relying on jump scares alone. You know you're in good hands when Kim Tae-ri's on-screen. Revenant doubles that surety by casting her in dual roles, as the troubled yet sensitive Gu San-yeong and the demon possessing her. Together with folklore professor Yeom Hae-sang (Oh Jung-se), San-yeong comes to understand both her own grief and the trauma death leaves behind as Revenant embraces the quiet, brooding dread that makes Korean horror genuinely unnerving. Masterly performances and production make Revenant an unnerving gem. The sympathetic eye it casts over lost souls, however, is what truly makes it an unusual joy. Light Shop (Hulu; Disney+ outside the U.S.) Speaking of sympathetic horror, Kang Full continues his reimagining of well-trodden genres as explorations of marginalization in 2024's Light Shop. Ju Ji-hoon and Park Bo-young lead an ensemble cast as Kang proposes that the fear with which we regard the creatures that populate our horror stories is really a manifestation of our own unchallenged biases. It's not as original an approach as Moving, but if that series is a bombastic allegory for the treatment of those who exist outside of perceived norms, then Light Shop is a quieter rejection of the othering of those we don't immediately understand. In a murky, haunted alley through which both the living and dead must travel, Jung Won-young (Ju) and his titular light shop serve as a beacon that literally shines a light on how unremoved we are from the spirits. The only difference between us and these creatures we fear, Kang suggests, is that we get to leave the alley once we exit Jung's sanctuary. Marry My Husband (Prime Video) Amazon has been quietly outstanding with its infrequent Korean originals. No Gain No Love and the recent Good Boy are a measure of that. But it's Prime Video's time-travel revenge-romance that, despite its crummy title, is most notable. In a hackneyed genre in K-drama, Marry My Husband blends a welcome self-awareness of its own goofiness with a rare modern deployment of a She's All That makeover to overcome the usual K-drama cliches where it counts. When Kang Ji-won (Park Min-young) discovers her layabout husband Park Min-hwan (Lee Yu-kyun) in bed with her best friend Jeong Su-min (Song Ha-yoon), plotting what to do when Ji-won finally succumbs to the terminal cancer she's been battling, Min-hwan murders her. At the same moment, she transports into her past self—complete with thick-rimmed glasses and a ponytail so you know she's not secretly a smokeshow—from where she plans to visit her cancer upon Su-min and carve a better life after ruining her and Min-hwan by inciting the stress that made her sick in them. That might sound like a typically sadistic revenge thriller a la The Glory. Marry My Husband, however, is surprisingly subtle in exploring and ultimately challenging Ji-won's twisting morals, making her a far more sympathetic protagonist, and is relatively sensitive around the subject of health. It also has a great cat. The surest sign of Marry My Husband's quality is that it already has a Japanese remake, released on Prime Video in June. Blood Free (Hulu; Disney+ outside the U.S.) Ju Ji-hoon turns up again in Lee Soo-yeon's near-future Korea dominated by AI chatbots and synthetic meat. CEO Yun Ja-yu (Han Hyo-joo) navigates the political and corporate pitfalls of her synthesized flesh empire, protected (and kind of turned on) by superman bodyguard Woo Chae-woon (Ju), a former naval officer with his own mysteries to solve—including the mystery of his cold heart. As the controversy around her cheap, 'blood free' meat threatens corporate and political interests across South Korea and puts Yun's life in constant danger, both are forced closer together with both romantic and tragic consequences. Lee is the mind behind the criminally underrated Stranger (which you can find, yes, on Netflix). Her output since, including Stranger's second season, has been tepid. But in Blood Free, she rediscovers some of the chemistry and fun that made her crime caper so watchable. Whether all that fun is deliberate on Lee's part isn't always clear, but Blood Free is a goofy and surprisingly watchable sci-fi bodyguard thriller. Live (Tubi, CJ ENM Selects—accessible via Prime Video, including a 7-day free trial) K-dramas have a habit of lionizing the police without nuance, but Live presents a more complex picture as it follows young people exiting a punitive job market to train as police officers—led by Bae Sung-woo as their troubled instructor Oh Yang-chon. The first half-hour of Live is genuinely awful, so be warned there is, not unusually for K-dramas, a rough patch to endure before the series hits its stride. Once it does, through a relatively honest look at both the fallibility of authority and the moral ramifications of power, somehow paired with all the usual trappings of K-drama as the show interrupts its procedural with a not always believable romance subplot with the patented K-drama melodrama that goes with it, Live becomes the ne plus ultra of Korean police dramas (that aren't on Netflix) and one of the most underrated K-dramas of the past decade. Rookie Cops (Hulu; Disney+ outside the U.S.) If that all sounds a bit too high-brow, Disney's second Korean original 2022's Rookie Cops eschews all sense of realism for a more typical K-drama approach (including an out-of-nowhere confirmation of the afterlife). In the bright and breezy romance, Ko Eun-kang (Chae Soo-bin) joins Police University—which does not sound like a real thing—to follow her first love, only to discover once she arrives that there is, in fact, more than one boy in the world. If Live's romantic subplot felt tacked on, presumably under the duress of K-drama expectations, here the police plot is simply a vehicle to smush K-drama characters' faces together. That might sound like a knock, but Rookie Cops is a surprisingly spry police procedural even if that aspect is not the main attraction (so to speak). It might not have much to actually say about the police, but it sure is fun. Argon (Tubi, CJ ENM Selects—accessible via Prime Video, including a 7-day free trial) It's a rare K-drama that remains timely beyond its initial run—if at all. But in a post-truth world, and as journalism faces unprecedented challenges under corporate interference and political malfeasance across the globe, Kim Ju-hyeok's final drama before his untimely death in 2017 isn't just a reminder of how transformative good K-drama can feel, but also a peek into what now feels like an idealized rendition of the profession. HBC intern Lee Yeon-hwa (Chun Woo-hee) is re-assigned to Kim Baek-jin (Kim) and his struggling investigative program, Argon. Kim's dedication to the truth has left his career stalled, as he butts heads with his network's corrupt higher-ups and their big-city friends. But when a coveted lead anchor role opens in the network, and as he slowly trains up the idealistic Yeon-hwa as a moral successor, he starts to understand how profoundly sick his city, and his network, has become. If you're getting whiffs of 2015's Spotlight, that's not an accident. In another drama, Yeon-hwa and Baek-jin's relationship would flourish into a problematic workplace romance. Argon, a mostly romance-free series, isn't interested in that, letting Chun and Kim anchor a rare Korean glimpse of journalists as anything other than unscrupulous, which both tragically caps Kim's career and speaks of Chun's to come. Soundtrack #2 (Disney+) We started with the bombastic in Moving; let's end with something quieter. 'Hidden gem' is an overused term when media is more accessible than ever—though streamers' unwillingness to market non-English media in the U.S. does lend a bit more credence to the term. Buried deep in Disney+'s catalogue, and unluckily releasing in the wake of Moving, Soundtrack #2 (2023) is a stand-alone sequel series that improves on its predecessor, 2022's Soundtrack #1, in every way. A sweet, tender story about the rocky road to rekindling romance sees struggling music-lover Do Hyun-seo (Keum Sae-rok) finding her way to doing what she loves—in more ways than one—when she's hired as a piano tutor for a YouTube mogul who happens to be her ex-boyfriend, Ji Su-ho (Noh Sang-hyun). That is, if their history doesn't get in the way. This is a K-drama, so of course their history is going to get in the way. Soundtrack #2 squeezes a lot of heart into its six-episode run and, though it may not be the most original K-drama, it serves as a perfect primer for those discovering more of what K-dramas have to offer.
