after watching many dramas which would rather make their fl meek and naive, and overall all the characters dumb who can't put two and two together, watching this drama is a relaxation to my nerves i swear to actually have characters who can connect the dots themselves
starting of ep10 and ngl that's an acting masterclass and this is pain next door fr. but man I wish the parents would just hug seokryu once and just comfort her instead of panicking and blaming her again. is it that hard to understand why she hid the truth or is so much of their inferiority complex getting in the way?! maybe by the end of the ep they do come to a realisation. but i guess that is as realistic a portrayal as it gets about asian parents. they panic, they worry and blame you first before even realising & introspecting why the kid didn't come to you & why you should be comforting them first. it's a good mirror to show, this scene & i hope parents watching realise it too
wait wtf I just had a realisation she was the one who played the bully in True beauty! she is cute in No Gain No Love. seems like good career progression for her seeing the dramas listed here🫶
ngl there's not a drama of his I have watched which i didn't enjoy. sure most weren't masterpieces or anything but then didn't feel like a waste of time like many other kdramas. no gain no love is so good!
but if she took the one year break because of that reason, why were her ex colleagues laughing about it? the huddle and secretive mocking scene is a bit too much even tho chris was a jerk
jesus episode 1 is a slog. already started fast-forwarding scenes because nothing happens for a stretch of time. why is it so slow when it has only 8 epis!
are her forgetting the spoon & magazine clues oh my god
also love although presented as comedy, the drama deals with important conversations and says exactly what it needs to without being preachy
no gain no love is so good!
