Useless Love

This week we're dissecting 'Useless Love', a K-vertical that made us nostalgic for the days when rom-coms where just rom-coms. The story follows Do-hee, a fiercely independent publishing designer and her boss/neighbor Mu-gye, a literary critic who somehow became editor-in-chief despite having the emotional intelligence of a middle schooler. We also can't help but fawn over Lee Dong-gun, the 90s heartthrob who could make reading a phone book sound romantic. We'll always have his earlier work in 'Lovers in Paris' and 'Sweet 18' to remind us of his former glory. Also, we've got real life drama to discuss. Jieun's neighbor has declared war over vacuuming at what we've determined is the perfectly reasonable hour of 10 AM, while Tiffany reveals her dating strategy involves demanding kisses within thirty minutes of meeting someone. We also dive deep into the serious business of aging gracefully, with Jieun sharing her new nighttime routine involving tretinoin neck applications and minoxidil experiments and Tiffany mourning the loss of her hair night serum to her boyfriend's thievery. Remember May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and we’re celebrating by diving into the vibrant world of AAPI storytelling from the chaotic charm of K-dramas to the fresh energy of Filipino-led verticals. This month, we’re spotlighting the incredible talent including Jeff Lawless, the Filipino heartthrob who’s making waves in vertical dramas like 'Drive Him Wild' and proving that AAPI representation is thriving in the most delicious, most hot, most steamiest of ways. Great drama and great storytelling knows no borders. Join us as we highlight the actors, creators, and stories shaping the future of vertical drama!
