K-drama Friendly Rivalry has just dropped on Netflix, and if you've been hooked on this gripping mystery thriller like we have, then you're already familiar with Oh Woori's standout performance as the sharp and ambitious Choi Kyung. Fresh off the drama’s success, the 28-year-old actress is already back on screens with the newly premiered supernatural romance Way Back Love. We caught up with Oh Woori to talk about her experience while filming Friendly Rivalry, her favourite behind-the-scenes moments, and what fans can expect from her latest role. What made you decide to audition for this role? Was it the script, the original webtoon, or the opportunity to work with certain actors? At the time of the audition, I didn’t know exactly which project it was for. However, I had read the original webtoon, and I found the character Choi Kyung incredibly captivating.I was also intrigued by the idea of portraying the intense academic rivalry among high school girls. Photograph: Courtesy Studio X+U/Friendly Rivalry How did you prepare for the role of Choi Kyung? Were there any scenes you found especially difficult? I had to make a lot of changes to my appearance, but more importantly, I focused on expressing Kyung’s sharp and edgy aura. The director told me he wanted her to feel like a small dagger, and I kept that image in mind throughout. One of the most challenging scenes was the class president election – it required a lot of energy and intensity. Do you have a favorite line or sce

We all have different answers when it comes to naming our favourite neighbourhoods in Hong Kong. Well, now there are some official numbers to back it up, according to a recent survey done by language learning platform Preply. Using official and public data from a range of sources, the study ranked various districts in terms of overall living experience, examining all 18 districts across multiple factors that impact everyday living, such as population density, real estate costs, safety, retail and dining options, connectivity, and environmental factors like air and water quality and noise levels. Yuen Long claimed the top spot as Hong Kong's most liveable area, offering a combination of affordable housing at $9,476 per square foot, abundant green spaces with 188 parks and playgrounds, and excellent transportation connectivity with the most bus stops in the territory. North District followed closely in second place, while Sha Tin and the Eastern District took third and fourth place, respectively. The survey also revealed that safety played a major part in determining the most desirable places to live. Yau Tsim Mong, which consists of Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok, topped the charts with a staggering 8,883 reported crimes between January and October 2024. On the other hand, the North District emerged as the safest with just 586 reported crimes.

From the Labubu craze that nearly exploded the internet to people spending big bucks on Jellycat plushies, Hongkongers are quite the experts when it comes to obsessing over absurdly cute things. So, it's no surprise that the cute, wide-eyed creatures of Chiikawa have been making rounds in the city. What are they, you ask? Read on to find out. What is Chiikawa? Created by illustrator Nagano, Chiikawa, which comes from the Japanese phrase 'Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu' (meaning 'something small and cute'), first started as just a social media manga series before it exploded into a multimedia franchise with millions of followers, an anime series, and merch that sells out in minutes. The series follows the daily adventures of Chiikawa and other tiny animal-like creatures navigating life's little challenges. They live in a fantastical world that's much like our planet – except they have flying sunfish to ride on, ginormous sweets to eat, and unlimited steamed rice found in the middle of the woods. Photograph: @chiikawa.official.hk Who are Chiikawa's friends? Chiikawa is the titular character of the series, whose closest friends are Hachiware and Usagi. While the trio are more widely recognised, the Chiikawa universe is filled with other adorable (and sometimes mischievous) creatures.
