01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Son Hae-yeong has spent her life refusing to lose. She calculates everything, from office politics to family favours, and she has decided she will not accept a single unfair loss ever again. When missing out on a promotion because she is single pushes her too far, she comes up with a plan: a fake wedding. She hires Kim Ji-wook, a kind-hearted convenience store clerk who works the night shift and cannot stand to see anyone treated unfairly, to play her husband. The contract is simple and the rules are clear, but pretending to be married turns out to be harder than either of them expected, especially when real feelings start showing up in the middle of the performance. No Gain No Love aired on tvN from August 26, 2024, in twelve episodes, starring Shin Min-a and Kim Young-dae. It is a bright, funny romantic comedy about a woman who hates losing and a man who cannot say no.
