The upcoming tvN and TVING’s original drama No Gain No Love tells the story of a woman, Son Hae Young (Shin Mina), who hates losing anything, and a man, Kim Ji Wook (Kim Young Dae), who reluctantly becomes her fake groom to avoid causing any trouble.
The buzz is building for this drama, which stars “rom-com queen” Shin Mina and rising K-Drama heartthrob Kim Young Dae. With skilled direction from Kim Jung Sik and a script by Kim Hye Young, No Gain No Love is shaping up to be a must-see series.
Shin Mina takes on the role of Son Hae Young, a woman who meticulously calculates everything in life, determined to avoid any losses. When she’s on the brink of missing out on a promotion at work, she goes so far as to stage a fake wedding to prevent herself from losing out.
The released stills capture Shin Mina’s confident and poised demeanor, perfectly embodying the character’s calculating nature. The production team shared, “Shin Mina brings a unique presence to every scene, expertly portraying the character of Son Hae Young. She will deliver an exceptional performance in this romantic comedy, with a unique transformation that will leave you impressed once again..”
Kim Young Dae plays Kim Ji Wook, a part-time convenience store worker known as a neighborhood hero who can’t turn away from those in need. Despite his fundamentally different nature from Hae Young, he agrees to her bizarre proposal to be her groom-for-hire for the wedding.
The stills reveal Kim Young Dae’s captivating transformation into Ji Wook, complete with a rugged look and horn-rimmed glasses, marking a striking departure from his usual style. The production team noted, “Kim Young Dae has compellingly captured the evolving story of Kim Ji Wook.”
Meanwhile, No Gain No Love is set to premiere on August 26th at 8:50 PM KST. It will also be available globally in over 240 countries through Amazon Prime Video, further expanding its reach to international audiences.
