No Gain No Love

The cast is excellent, the writing is witty and hilarious, the pacing is great, the romance is romancing and the comedy is comedy-ing.

It is tropey but in the best possible way where they subvert your expectations for comedy, and keep it light hearted despite dealing with some serious topics at times. It's really sex-positive and progressive for a Kdrama and a lot of fun.

The one downfall is that being only 12 episodes, it didn't manage it's time quite well enough to wrap up the supporting characters' stories in a satisfying way, and some may feel the second couple equals or outshines the first (personally I felt that to be a strength).

There is a 2 episode spin-off "Spice Up Our Love" based on the second couple from this drama, but it's non-essential viewing and doesn't add or change anything in the main story.

This series is the best! Ridiculously great writing. So well cast. This is not the average cookie cutter Hallmark channel series.

The series isn't even halfway over and there are so many positive posts about it on various SN platforms.

I have belly laughed during each episode. There are many surprising scenes and story lines that are not a common them which is what makes this so watchable and want to talk about.

Have not heard anything negative. Just watch this - you won't regret it. I don't want to give out spoiled.

FL and ML are so cute together.

Hopefully the remaining episodes will not disappoint. I doubt they will and I am sure I will miss it when it is over. Will watch again!

It's a really enjoyable romantic comedy film with excellent leads that you won't get tired of. Shin Min Ah nailed it again they look good together. More movie for Min Ah & Youngdae please I love their chemistry. It's a must watch Kdrama. The chemistry between the leads was superb, and the twist in the story was truly captivating. I found myself completely immersed in the romance and the journey of the characters. It's rare to find a movie that combines humor, love, and surprise so perfectly. It has become one of my favorites, and it's highly recommended this is sooo perfect! Love love love! Can't imagine it's about to end...

I wasn't expecting to get so engaged and immersed in this kdrama, I liked the characters, the chemistry between the main and second lead couples and the unfolding story. The female lead isn't afraid to show weakness, regret or break the good-girl-stereotype that many other kdramas portray. The characters all show a decent amount of realism in their behaviors.

Definitely worth the watch! And the comic relief moments were also a 9/10 for me!

If you are thinking about watching it, just give it a shot! Your time will be well spent! Although it is not your typical boy-meets-girl kind of drama.

I would re-watch it!

I really enjoyed the story and the characters development in this movie, despite a bit shallow the development was light and interesting enough to be remembered as a good watch in a cloudy day.

For me Shin Min-a is a great artist and one of the few human beings capable of portrait a young version of herself despite being 42 years old. She have a great capability of making the romance and others emotional part echoes in the viewers, this genre of storytelling it's definitely told much better and with much depth when is done by her.

Kim Young-dae was amazing too, that was the first time I watched him in a kdrama but the feelings and emotions were on point and the chemistry with Min-a works very well.

Han Ji-hyun, Lee Sang-yi and Lee- Yoo-Jin, were a great addition to the plot, specially for Sang-yi, after watch him in Bloodhound, which he did a amazing job, I got mesmerized to see it the great actor he is despite being in so different genres.

I definitely recommend this series and hope other people like it as much as I did.
