True love doesn’t always have to be romantic.
Every February, everything around us suddenly turns red and pink and takes on the shape of a heart.

Luckily, love comes in many different forms, and each is equally deserving of celebration. So gather up all your girlfriends, make some popcorn, set up a TV, and choose K-drama to surround yourself with a warm and fuzzy feeling of true friendship, support, and understanding.
