No Gain, No Love (2024)

Heureusement il y a Kim Young Dae / Thanks god there is Kim Young Dae

C'est mon premier drama où je souhaite que le ML ne finisse pas avec la FL
Le positif :
Kim Young Dae est parfait, son personnage est gentil comme tout, et il le rend très touchant !
Le casting est somptueux, que de très bons acteurs.
L'histoire est pas mal.
Le négatif :
Le personnage féminin principal n'est pas sympathique.
Elle est arriviste, autoritaire, ne voit que son intérêt.
Elle frappe les hommes, quand il part, peut être pour toujours, son premier regret c'est d'avoir acheté un lit tout neuf !
A la mort de sa mère, en bonne égoïste, elle ne voit qu'elle comme chef de deuil !
Alors qu'il a tout fait pour l'enterrement, elle le jette (d'ailleurs les 3 actrices virent toutes leurs copains!!!)
Elle ne mérite pas un happy ending avec le ML.
Sinon on a le white truck, des chutes multiples, des 3 filles de 30+ en colocation comme des étudiantes.
ML est servile et trop gentil (masochiste ?)
il lui sert même de chauffeur épisode 8 ! Comment peut-il tomber amoureux d'un truc pareil ?
La musique et Le bruitage sont pénible
On a le placement de produits classique (topiko, subway etc)
La série n'est drôle que pour les moins de 10 ans


This is my first drama where I hope the ML doesn't end up with the LF

The positive: Kim Young Dae is perfect, his character is sweet as can be, and he makes it very touching! The cast is sumptuous, all very good actors. The story is not bad.

The negative: The main female character is not likeable. She's pushy, bossy, only sees her own interests. She hits men, and when he leaves, perhaps forever, her first regret is having bought a brand new bed!
When her mother dies, she's so selfish that she's the only one she can think of as the head of her bereavement team!
Even though he's done everything for the funeral, she throws him out (incidentally, the 3 actresses all fire their boyfriends!!!) She doesn't deserve a happy ending with ML.
Otherwise we have the white truck, multiple falls, 3 girls aged 30+ sharing a flat like students. ML is subservient and too nice (masochistic?) he even acts as her chauffeur in episode 8! How can he fall in love with such a thing?
The music and sound effects are annoying. There's classic product placement (topiko, subway etc).
The series is only funny for people under 10.

From Promising Beginnings to Disappointing Endings..

I rated this drama 8.5 based on the first 7-8 episodes.. It started of really well with spot on comedy.. Great acting and steady story development.. However after those initial 7 episodes the characters became bland.. And the forced humor felt out of place.. Even thats understandable conisdering this is a romcom.. But Some of the choices the characters made were really nonsense..

Constantly being let down by the Korean writers who struggle to deliver satisfying endings.. They Often resort to forced breakups.. Unnecessary time skips.. And last minute reconciliations.. As if thats the only way they know to end a story..

I honestly didnt understand the need for Cha Hui Seong's story.. She is in an open relationship and the couple sleeps around with other people.. Then she gets pregnant but she doesnt know whose baby it is?? What sort of dilemma is that?? What lesson is the writer trying to convey?? Modern relationships have no morals??

The second couple was interesting.. With Lee Sang Yi delivering a solid performance like in his other dramas.. Han Ji Hyun had her moments but her cuteness felt forced at times.. And her acting was all over the place.. She is a good actress but i hope she doesnt follow the ' i need to do smut to get the recognition i deserve ' mantra.. Spice up Our Love was an unnecessary spinoff filled with cringe and cliche romance.. I am looking forward to her next drama with Lee Min Ki..

The main couple's story started off really good.. The first seven episodes were genuinely hilarious.. But unfortunately took a fall afterward.. The ML supported the FL through her struggles and was always there for her.. Yet she broke up with him right after her mother’s funeral.. She clearly lacked empathy there and it was just a dumb thing to do.. He loved her mother as if she were his own and she didn’t allow him the time to grieve.. Son Hae Yeong was a mature character.. But her decisions felt childish and selfish.. Instead of facing the hard times together.. She cruelly cut him off.. Leaving him alone when he needed her most.. How is that love?? Kdrama FLs often take love for granted.. I wished they wouldnt get back together..

The conclusion felt rushed.. With a last minute reconciliation that didnt do any justice to the way the story developed.. The FL didn’t even try to stop the ML AGAIN.. He had to chase after her to make amends..

" I never regretted letting you go " Thats what she said..

In conclusion.. While the drama faltered after the first seven episodes.. It still delivered memorable moments and strong performances..
