No Gain No Love review
손해 보기 싫어서Checked and re-read
Is it worth it
Shin Min Ah plays a woman who calculates the value of every relationship, which is a good premise the show only half commits to. The first six episodes are sharp about money and pettiness. The last six trade that for standard romcom beats and a sister subplot that eats the runtime. Kim Young Dae is charming and badly underwritten. Pleasant, forgettable, and about four episodes too long.
Son Hae-yeong seeks out a fake wedding with her neighbourhood convenience store employee, Kim Ji-uk, to avoid missing out on a promotion.
