No Gain No Love: Plot and Cast

In the plot of No Gain No Love, Son Hae-young is the kind of person who, in any case, prefers not to lose money. She had to share her mother's love with others as she grew older. Her break-even point was frequently reached in relationships with her partners. Son Hae-young may now lose out on a career promotion at her place of employment.

She arranges for a fictitious wedding to prevent such a loss. She enlists Kim Ji-wook as her fiancé. Kim Ji-wook is employed part-time at a convenience shop as a cashier. He is the kind of person who strives to do the right thing and cannot overlook those in need. Except for one customer, he gets along well with everyone at the convenience shop.

After a break of two years, Shin Min-ah is returning to dramas with No Gain No Love. She has starred in several well-known rom-coms, including Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Oh My Venus, and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. Her most recent drama was the blockbuster success, Our Blues.

Kim Young-dae, who portrays Kim Ji-wook in the drama, is known for dramas like Extraordinary You, The Penthouse: War in Life and Shooting Stars.

No Gain No Love also stars Han Ji-hyeon as Nam Ja-yeon, a well-known R-rated web novel writer who is Hae-yeong's friend and roommate, and Lee Sang-yi as third-generation "chaebol" Bok Gyu-hyun, the CEO of the company where Hae-yeong works.

Shin Min-ah and Kim Young-dae are the main couple in No Gain No Love who will get entangled with each other due to a fake marriage. Han Ji-hyun and Lee Sang-yi, among other cast members, will have intriguing parts in this drama.
