Weekend Recap: K-Drama Breakups, Dubai Glamour, Labubu Craze and Health Tips

This past weekend brought a mix of entertainment, lifestyle, and wellness news that got people talking across the UAE and beyond. From emotional K-Drama stories and celebrity romance rumors to a stunning Dubai mansion, Michelin star awards, a popular doll trend, and smart health advice, here’s everything you need to know.

Korean actors Lee Dong-wook and Bae Suzy were once a couple that many fans admired. Their past relationship recently came back into the spotlight because of their 13-year age gap. Although they are no longer together, fans still talk about their time as a couple. In South Korea, stars often keep their private lives quiet. When they do confirm relationships, it is usually through official company statements or letters. This privacy makes each confirmed story even more special for fans. However, the age difference between Lee Dong-wook and Bae Suzy caused debate. While some supported their choice, others felt the gap was too wide. Still, their relationship remains one of the most talked-about among K-Drama fans.

Viewers are also asking for a second season of favorite shows like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. The show, which starred Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho, ended on a happy note. But fans want more of their story. Many people say the show’s calm and heartwarming scenes helped them feel relaxed and happy. Some fans wish they could keep watching the couple deal with everyday life, even if there is no big drama.

Another fan-favorite pair is Lee Jun-ho and Yoona. Their recent drama was a big hit. Viewers loved their chemistry and believed it felt real. Because of this, many people online started to wonder if they were dating in real life. The stars have not confirmed anything, but the rumors and fan excitement keep growing.

Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi is planning a trip to Dubai to promote his new film called Ace. This movie is a romantic crime comedy directed by Arumuga Kumar. The exact date of his visit is not yet confirmed, but organizers say it will happen soon. Vijay Sethupathi has a deep connection with Dubai. Before he became a famous actor, he worked in the city as an accountant. His story—from office life to film success—gives hope to many young people chasing their dreams.

In Dubai, businessman Mahesh Tourani is catching attention for his luxurious lifestyle. Known by his friends as the Great Gatsby of Dubai, Tourani lives in a mansion that looks like something out of a movie. His house features shiny chandeliers, fancy artwork, and wide open spaces. He believes in working hard and enjoying life, and his home shows that clearly. Photos of his mansion have gone viral on social media, with many people calling it the most stylish house in the city.

Dubai’s restaurant scene reached a high point last week when the Michelin Guide released its 2025 edition. One of the biggest winners was Tresind Studio, an Indian restaurant that earned three Michelin stars. This is a big achievement and shows how much the food scene in Dubai has grown. Tresind Studio is known for mixing traditional Indian flavors with new cooking styles. Other restaurants also received awards, showing the wide range of great food the city offers.

Meanwhile, a new trend is taking over the UAE. Labubu dolls, which are small and strange-looking toys, have become very popular. Influencers and fashion lovers are showing off their Labubu collections online. Some people carry them around or use them in photo shoots. These dolls are now seen as cool and creative items. Celebrities have also joined the trend, and Labubu dolls are being sold both online and in special stores across the country.

In the workplace, more people are choosing a slow and quiet way to leave toxic jobs. This method is called micro-quitting. It is not about suddenly quitting. Instead, people slowly stop doing extra work, set stronger limits, and prepare to leave. Experts say this method helps reduce stress and guilt. It gives people time to plan their next move while staying safe and balanced.

Walking 10,000 steps a day has become a common goal for fitness. But new research says even short morning walks can bring great results. Experts say walking in the morning can help with weight loss and mental focus. It helps lower blood sugar, reduce stress, and keep you alert during the day. People can break their steps into smaller walks to make the goal easier. Even 15-minute walks throughout the day can make a big difference.

Health experts also say that men over 50 should take their health more seriously. This age is an important point when the risk of diseases like heart problems, diabetes, and cancer becomes higher. Regular health checks can catch problems early. Tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, colon health, and prostate health are strongly advised. In the UAE, many hospitals offer full health check-up packages for men. Early detection saves lives and helps people live longer, healthier lives.
