it's really meh I want to like it more but too many Ahole characters. Too much infidelity being glossed over stupid…
Sure, it will be funny to read, even when you comment about dramas I liked. I'm curious to read a point of view, and check if I find that right on some points or wrong. I may comment, or point out some details. Of course, in a friendly way!

Sadly, my fav drama doesn't get a good ranking in your list (but nothing that bad too). So I guess I can't propose you to read my screenplay of season 2, except if you are really curious. Else, you can check my blog with other screenplays, two shorts and a kdrama first 2 hours. I did also a first episode of another kdrama but didn't posted it because I made only the western screenplay and didn't had time to transform it in the visual korean format one.

I don't post review, I even deleted the ones I did. I think I don't have talent for that. I tried to write an article for MDL, but now I think I was a bit too enthousiastic, and I was wrong about some points. Well, mostly the main point in the title. But I did that to get a catch. Ah!

The drama use tragic stories more as plot-device with short-time resolution than real tragedy. Like nothing is…
Hi, I don't remember the scene you are mentioning. It sounds bad.
I watched countless time the "comical side romance", in any kdramas or daily series, or even popular movies (not really good ones). A romance with nothing real or serious a little bit. As I was finding that funny when I was a kid, I consider it now lazy writing, it's a too cheap cliché.

About this drama, the CEO romance should be more difficult. I saw a spin-off is prepared with the two characters. So, if the romance is already over, how the writer could do something in the spin-off?

Anyway, I won't watch it. I'm even hesitant to watch "Private life", the previous drama of this writer now. Even if the pitch looks good. No Gain No Loss pitch too was good, it's why I tried the drama, but it was a disappointement.

Title No Gain, No Love Spoiler
Yup it gets better but it definitely depends on the person watching it too. The person before me said that they…
Hi, I answer here to all your points:

- I didn't watched Lovely Runner. Lack of time and bad echo from friends after some point, even the start of the drama looked to please them. Maybe I should have, so I could post harsh criticism of the drama? The thread was certainely funny with all those angry fans. 😅

- IOTNO: I somehow liked it, with great lead actors. Pace was a bit slow. I put on hold once, I had something else to do. I tried to continue and could stick back to it for some episodes. Then again I had to put on-hold. because after months the drama was like a bulky wardrobe in my list, so it's the kind of drama I put on-hold or drop, but I don't really hate it.

- By the way, I have many dramas on hold that I never finished, while I liked them. Sometimes I don't need to watch the end. There is one of my favorite drama "Queen Seon Deok". The drama was so popular that they added 10 more episodes, but I didn't watched them, because I lose interest after the death of my favorite character, who was also the engine of the drama.

- I'm sometime critical of kdramas and find MDL interactions funny. It's awesome how people can be triggered when you don't like their puppy drama. However, as I'm used to this kind of interaction since years, I avoid any personnal attack on audience. It's the right of people to enjoy what they want and anyway, there is nothing to say about that. But in the other way, I should give my opinion too about the drama. It's something valuable for random people who have trouble with the content. You can see it here, OP is wondering why people like so much the drama when OP finds that "Meh". It would be strange no-one answer. But as the drama is at episode 6 now, there is high chance nobody answer, because people disliking already dropped it since a while. I'm here just because I binge-watched last week. And probably other people answering too. Next week, there will probably be no-one. I don't think I will hang on the topic. It happens I stay on a bad drama because it's so bad that just the comment section makes my day. But No Gain No Loss isn't bad enough for that. 😔

- I'm also used to read bad comments about the dramas I love. Sometimes there is some truth about the comments and it's enriching. It makes me question myself about my writing (as I write screenplays). Sometimes the comment just miss the target and I can see how it's wrong. Anyway, it's a good sport to do that, so to be used to keep my cool. Kdramas have a core audience, and some dramas just can't please everyone.

- I allow myself to change opinion. I disliked a lot Vincenzo at start. Quickly dropped it. Then, I still tried to watch more, and when the OTT comedy was a miss at first, it became really funny at some point. (I'd say half/half, depending on the scenes). All the drama was a bit second-degree and easy to watch. I put that on hold dozen of times, but continuing to watch it, one or two episodes at a time, as it's a drama that doesn't need to keep memory of everything and easy to continue watching from scratch.

- People taste about dramas is impossible to understand. I check quickly in your list, and we share some favorite dramas. I could expect you also dislike the same dramas I dislike? But nope, it doesn't work that way. It's very random. As I'm tired of romcom and don't expect to watch a good romcom from this year (I should watch an older one), I go back to thriller, or more exactly "deadly game" genre. I started watching Pyramid Games, the kind of drama that makes me feel at home. It's a good one.

The one thing , I don't like about the show , very subjective, is the story. I would have liked it to be a comedy…
The drama use tragic stories more as plot-device with short-time resolution than real tragedy. Like nothing is serious. It's a mistake. Comedy comes from a tragedy the writer make us believe. As a known example, the famous classic movie "the appartement", by writer Billy Wilder. It's a story of a guy renting an appartement, so people can have extra-conjugal love affairs into it. Only, at one point, he falls in love with a woman... and this woman is about to have a meeting with his boss in this appartement. I mean, real shit drops on the character, it's sad and tragic, taken seriously by the writer. And it's from that comes best comedy.

Hi Rahul and Kbeauty, I love your rage-wording! It's refreshing and a pleasure to read you. I'm more tolerant about annoying characters, as they make drama and problems. So about the script, I find that nice.
I agree with both of you, the writer wanted to be uselessly edgy (western like) with the FL. And to boot, used even the sister to trash that more. Nope, I don't subscribe to this kind of easyness in storytelling!

Hello. I can't remember when, but at one point, kdrama romcom started to use the same sound effects there are in TV shows. You know "wiip, zoop, flop" on every eye blink, head rotation and so on. Just the first time I saw that, it pissed me off. And with horror, I saw more and more kdramas using that... until this one, which is a guiness record about that. So it's quite obvious I'm infuriated. Sad thing is it comes from the editor, not the writer. And about writer I could find some nice scenes along the way. Just on the whole, I can't endure that more.

Now, it's a bit off topic, but I would be curious to know the cringey famous kdramas you are talking about. There is high chance I find them even more terrible! 😉

I feel like i’m watching a different drama than everybody else? Does it get better after ep 2? Because it’s…
Yep, it's meh. I think Ep 1 and 2 are average, so it's not better after. Ep 4 is the more boring one. I could focus during first two episodes on good lines. But overtime, it's difficult because as you can see, it's drowned by painful OTT comedy, with annoying sound-effects. To divert attention from main story and win time, there is a lot of secondary characters. I've drop the drama after ep 6.

Sure, I can't break my TV when I've falling asleep before it.
At least one more, and not just re-using the concept with a new manhwa but expands it with new mysteries and phenomena, like did the original writer. People who watched the drama know the logic of this concept but what if it goes wrong, and new and unexpected logic jumps in? I liked how the heros of the drama were often puzzled, not understanding new events, even during last part. Now they are experimented with that, so I wanted to create new challenges and make their life going in the unknow again. This is this mind-blowing feeling we get while watching the drama, when something crazy happens during a cliffhanger. Our jaw drops with a goosebump, and we try to understand, along with the characters.

Kdrama needs annoying people to create spicy situations. So, it's an Ok character. I can't understand his motivation…
That doesn't explain why he would have an affair with the FL when he was already ready to marry his wife.

He is annoying but not toxic also he is funny
Take that as you want, but FL is also toxic. But ok, it's a kdrama, so it needs some toxic characters to create drama. Just, FL is too unlikeable here and I have big trouble to stick to any romance, on top of comedy scenes often cringe, slapstick or parasited by silly sound effects. Anyway, I've drop the drama.

Guys, I saw people complaining about the age gap between leads. I know they are around 12years apart in real life…
The gray man told he is 40 and he was 13 when ML is born. So ML should be 27 years old. I don't know the age of the FL, if it's said in the drama, I missed that. She looks older, in her 30s.

Yep, sexy jokes doesn't work half of the time, because it's cheap, vulgar and common.But what I find the most…
Yeah, I remember this scene. She acts like "she has more experience" or something like that. I found that cringe too, and it wasn't even a comedy scene. I don't know if the writer takes this situation seriously, because FL life is a failure, and there is nothing to rant about when she scared any man she have meet until now. Her supposed sexual skills were of no-use for finding love and happiness, and I even doubt she's that interesting in a bed.

Anyway, good sexy jokes are difficult to make, and choosing the cheap way doesn't work. It looks more like the writer is a bit obsessed with that, and as you say, hope that being edgy would be enough to make laugh. But it turns out it's just vulgar, with the meaning of "being common". Like you are with someone dumb and drunk, and this person yells a bad sexy joke, and every people in the train station hear that.

I think there were some good lines or situations in the drama, but as time passed, I started to miss some of them because it was drowned into other bad comedy. With lack of attention, I couldn't catch them anymore. It doesn't need to overdo it to be funny. Slapstick doesn't work on me, and I can like some burlesque comedy like "The Pink Panther", but not something that rely on silly sound effects.

I remember an interview of a screenwriter I like, when she was hired for writing comedy in a sitcom team. She said "but I'm not a funny person?", and the producer told her: "I want you because you are good at creating situations". Good comedy comes from well written characters and situations, not with artificial stuff. And often, the comedy needs also a dramatic situation you can take seriously.

I wasn't expecting a lot, but still disappointed. I find that boring too, not only because of slow scenes and fillers, but when the comedy isn't funny, it turns into boredom.

If there is, it will be short, unless the writer have no more idea than that.
As it's a 12 episodes romcom, there isn't much room for a breakup.
