No Gain No Love: In an exciting announcement recently, the production house unveiled the star-studded cast lineup for the upcoming romance Kdrama, No Gain No Love. The series will feature Shin Min-ah, Kim Young-dae, Lee Sang-yi and Han Ji-hyun in key roles and is set to premiere on August 26 at 8:50 PM KST (5:20 PM IST). For international fans, the drama will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on the same day.
No Gain No Love promises a unique blend of humour, romance and intrigue set against the backdrop of a zero-loss romance. Shin Min-ah stars as Son Hae-young, a pragmatic woman whose life revolves around calculating profits and minimizing losses. Faced with the risk of losing her promotion at work, Hae-young decides to enter a fake marriage, leading to unexpected twists in her carefully planned life. Known for her performances in Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Our Blues, Shin Min-ah is set to impress viewers with a fresh portrayal that diverges from her previous iconic roles.
Opposite her is Kim Young-dae, who takes on the role of Kim Ji-wook, a part-time worker at a convenience store known for his sense of justice as a citizen police officer. Despite initial conflicts with customer Hae-young, he finds himself unexpectedly presented with a peculiar proposal from her. Agreeing to temporarily play the role of her groom in a staged wedding, he embarks on an unforeseen path of romantic discovery.
When all else fails, it’s time to create your own destiny.

Adding to the romantic mix are Lee Sang-yi and Han Ji-hyun, who bring their own charm to the table. Lee Sang-yi portrays Bok Kyu-hyun, the CEO of a prominent chaebol family sceptical about fate and love. His encounter with Han Ji-hyun's character, Nam Ja-yeon, a web novel author known by the pseudonym Yeonbora, sets the stage for an intriguing romantic subplot filled with unexpected developments.
The series is directed by Kim Jung-sik, known for his work on hit dramas like Work Later, Drink Now and Strong Girl Nam-soon and penned by the talented writer Kim Hye-young of Her Private Life fame. The production team expressed confidence in the cast's ability to bring authenticity and relatability to their characters, noting, "This project brings about a combination of actors with solid acting skills and unrivalled charms. Please look forward to their realistic story that anyone can sympathize with."
International fans can catch the series on Amazon Prime Video from August 26, 2024.
