The K-drama series 'Call It Love,' starring actor-models Lee Sung-kyoung ('Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo') and Kim Young-kwang ('The Secret Life of My Secretary'), isn't just fascinating for its emotionally vulnerable actors and postcard-pretty setting. More than its eye-candy appeal, the Disney+ show—which will drop Episodes 13 and 14 this week—owes its crowd-pleasing lure to the way it eschews the 'pa-kwela' approach of most rom-coms for something more thought-provoking and less skin-deep. In fact, the central themes of this unlikely love story will quickly shake viewers out of their apathy because they explore the gray areas of revenge and romantic attraction.

Hundreds of weeds have been found advertised on a public online marketplace in Australia. Cacti and pond plants were among the most frequently advertised illegal weed species. These weeds are prohibited in Australia due to their harmful impact on the country's environment and agriculture. Despite this, a research team led by Jacob Maher discovered thousands of online advertisements for these weeds. Their study is published in the open access journal NeoBiota . Trade of ornamental plants, the kind grown in homes and gardens, is the major way weeds are introduced to new places.

Works to reduce future flood impacts at Riverside Park near Uki will get underway from Monday 18 September 2023. Last year's flood was the largest on record and caused severe erosion along the middle reaches of the Tweed River downstream of Uki, resulting in major damage to riverbanks, roads, bridges and riparian vegetation. The disaster left Riverside Park, opposite Glenock Road, in critical need of restoration after it lost more than 45 m of vegetated bank, leaving parts of the bank just 5 to 15 metres away from busy Kyogle Road.

Retiree Jiang Xiuping said she is busier now than when she was working. One recent morning, the former accountant spent two hours buying groceries for three households of senior citizens in Beijing as part of a 'time bank' program designed to foster volunteerism and help manage the country's aging population. It works like this: Every time Jiang goes on a grocery run, she earns credits at the time bank in her neighborhood in the capital's central Dongcheng district. Later, she can redeem these 'deposits' for goods or similar services for seniors like meal deliveries, housekeeping or just hanging out for a spell.

Seven decades after an armistice halted massive death and destruction throughout the Korean Peninsula, the South and North remain technically at war. With leaders of both sides ramping up belligerent rhetoric, a formal peace agreement is as elusive as it was in 1953. Talking about peace right now seems naive, or for some even like leftist pro-North propaganda.Unification looks even farther off. The older generation still misses family members and friends who ended up on the opposite side in the chaos of war.
