No Gain No Love episodes 3 and 4 were aired on September 2 and 3, 2024, on tvN and Prime Video. In episode 3 of No Gain No Love following their fake wedding, Son Hae-young (Shin Min-ah) and Kim Ji-uk (Kim Young-dae) end up at the hotel despite deciding to part ways after the ceremony. Kim Ji-uk stayed with Son Hae-young as colleagues stayed at the same hotel and invited them for breakfast the next morning.

As the two were counting the congratulatory money they received at the wedding ceremony, Son Hae-young seemed sleepy. Kim Ji-uk suggested she sleep, but she did not trust him with her money as she didn't know anything about him.

Kim Ji-uk opened up about his mother, who left him with his grandmother and married into a family in Canada. Kim Ji-uk also stated that his mother was a priority for his grandmother, and he was just a distant grandson. This was just to gain her trust.

Meanwhile, Bok Gyu-hyun learned his mother was reading an adult web novel with explicit s*xual content, as he accidentally found her iPad. He immediately became a hater of Nam Ja-yeon (Han Ji-hyun), who was recognized as author Yeon Bo-ra.

Episode 3 of No Gain No Love, picked up from the last scene of the previous episode, where Son Hae-young (Shin Min-ah), Kwon Yi-lin (Jeon Hye-won), and Ahn Woo-jae (Go Wook) were mesmerized by seeing Kim Ji-uk in a tuxedo.

Later, Son Hae-young distributed her wedding invitation at her workplace and coincidentally met CEO Bok Gyu-hyun (Lee Sang-yi) in the elevator, and she invited Bok Gyu-hyun to her wedding. As she left, the CEO asked his secretary Yeo Ha-jun to attend the wedding in his stead.

Son Hae-young and Kim Ji-uk finally accomplished their mission of holding a fake wedding ceremony. Before the ceremony, Son Hae-young missed her father when she saw another bride and her father walking together.

Besides this, Son Hae-young’s mother Lee Eun-ok had many visitors at her wedding. All the kids who spent some time at Lee Eun-ok’s house came to visit her. Lee Eun-ok was suffering from dementia and could not recognize Son Hae-young at her wedding. On the other hand, Nam Ja-yeon reunited with her high school crush and web novel muse Yeo Ha-jun at Son Hae-young's wedding.

In the epilogue of No Gain No Love episode 3, as Kim Ji-uk hugged Lee Eun-ok, she recognized him, but their relationship has not been revealed yet.

In episode 4 of No Gain No Love, Kim Ji-uk accompanied Son Hae-young to the airport as he believed she was going to spend her time with Lee Eun-ok after her wedding. However, Son Hae-young told him she loved her mother but was not close to her. Kim Ji-uk was taken aback hearing this. Son Hae-young found Kim Ji-uk's message with the money in her bag, wishing her well after they parted ways.

Meanwhile, Bok Gyu-hyun was hospitalized after having a mental breakdown as he wrote a hate comment under Nam Ja-yeon aka Yeon Bo-ra’s web novel. He asked Yeo Ha-jun to read an explicit scene from the novel where the main character’s name was also Ha-jun. Bok Gyu-hyun stated that he was reminded of his secretary while reading the novel and his mother reading this novel made it worse for him.

Three months had passed and Son Hae-young could not connect with Kim Ji-uk as he was unreachable. She succeeded in winning the in-house competition, received a grand prize, and became the team leader of a new task force. In the meantime, Kim Ji-uk spent his time with Lee Eun-ok.

Although Nam Ja-yeon was not going to pay attention to the hate comments, as she saw it, she decided to file a legal complaint against the person. Bok Gyu-hyun's parents lashed at him for being sued for defamation and asked him to resolve the issue in silence.

Bok Gyu-hyun changed his dressing style to an insecure jobless person and went to the police station, where Nam Ja-yeon saw him from afar. As he left the station, she bumped into Bok Gyu-hyun and fell. Bok Gyu-hyun was kind enough to ask if she was fine and picked up her phone. He saw a message on her phone and saw a notification, realizing it was author Yeon Bo-ra.

Nam Ja-yeon was startled and ran away without taking her phone. Later, while going back with Son Hae-young, she spoke about the hate comments and Bok Gyu-hyun. She stated that she was scared that an ordinary-looking person would write malicious comments online.

Later, Yeo Ha-jun told Bok Gyu-hyun he was meeting a friend near the office. Bok Gyu-hyun was surprised to hear about his friend and followed him, and he found out his friend was Nam Ja-yeon.

By the end of episode 4 of No Gain No Love, Son Hae-young saw Kim Ji-uk at her office, standing behind all the recruits. Son Hae-young asked him why he was at her workplace, and Kim Ji-uk stated that he missed her.

It is yet to be seen what happens next on No Gain No Love.
