Pierce Conran South China Morning Post Apr 11
3/5
The show falters somewhat in its finale, which indulges heavily in traumatic memories and sentimentality while leaving some of the threads of its story dangling a little haphazardly. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim (Substack) 12/19/2024
3.5/4
Hae-yeong (Shin Min-a) doesn’t need to get married to appease her parents. But she does need a husband to prove to the higher ups at work that she’s responsible enough to be promoted. (Wrap your head around that for a second.) Go to Full Review S. Poorvaja The Hindu 10/16/2024

Sandy E @RT65489746 Jul 18 Achei ruim! Numa tentativa de “modernizar” e mostrar como são mente aberta, só reafirmou esteriótipos e deixou um sentimento de desconforto. A parte que mais me decepcionou (spoiler) foi a prova do vestido de noiva da protagonista. Era supostamente o momento da noiva, é clichê, mas todos esperam isso, mas eles anularam a protagonista deixando-a com um vestido horroroso e fizeram daquele o momento do noivo, que desculpe vestindo ternos diferentes continuava a mesma coisa, mesmo com os “uau!” das personagens. Me incomodou também o CEO ficar chamando ele de Lucifer, e o protagonista masculino nunca nem questionar, onde que eles pensaram que isso cairia bem? Achei um pouco esquisito. Fora as personagens mal trabalhadas e omissa s, que pelo medo de assumir um compromisso e o de ficar sozinha assumir um relacionamento aberto, que claramente parece incomoda-la em uma cena, mas que é anulado, porque ela é uma mulher moderna que da vibradores de presente (ugh!). Um elenco bom e uma história muito mau aproveitada para cumprir agenda. See more Gerardo Rodrigo R @RT72850592 03/10/2025 Good idea. A good K-Drama with an original story. See more Bianca P @RT43510410 12/05/2024 No Gain, No Love is a perfect mix of humor in every episode, great chemistry between the characters, an interesting story that progresses well and the classic Korean eye candy that we have come to know and love. I bumbled through a few dramas before this one, failing to watch most of them beyond the second episode. However No Gain, No Love captured me. It really is a binge worthy watch. For someone looking for a sweet and really funny romance story, I absolutely recommend it. Plus it's only 12 episodes for fans of short dramas like me😍 Kim Young Dae gets my vote for the sexiest Korean actor. See more Roben R @RT12275849 09/18/2024 Very entertaining! Well cast, w/ great chemistry... truly ROM-COM :) See more Anic A @Anick 08/30/2024 Very original. Love it right away!!!! See more Read all reviews
