New “Underrated” K-Drama Drops A Shockingly Funny Plot Twist

A new K-Drama series is delighting viewers with its romantic comedy antics — emphasis on comedy. 

No Gain No Love stars Shin Min A as a woman who snags a husband to avoid losing money and Kim Young Dae as the nightshift worker who ends up marrying her. The so-called “underrated” series, which began airing in August, is checking all the right boxes for these K-Drama fans.

romantic, fluff, comedic timing, chaotic, unserious, heartwarming, with a little bit of angst, green flag male leads, strong female leads, good plot and script writing—all check!

From their romantic chemistry to their laugh-out-loud comedy, Shin Min A and Kim Young Dae are quickly becoming one of K-Drama’s most lovable couples.

I just finished watching ep 6 of #NoGainNoLove. This is my favorite ep so far! HANDS DOWN! 🔥 It's filled with comedy punch that I had to pause and rewind multiple times. 🤣 It was a total blast! This series is only getting better and better and I can't wait for next week's eps! pic.twitter.com/gonXbd3DJz

Although the show has had its fair share of funny moments, the ending of Episode 6 might top them all. After drinking a little too much wine, the female lead and male lead (who are married) end up waking up in the same bed…

…and completely freaking out. (Again, they’re married!).

This “accidentally slept in the same bed” trope is typical for K-Dramas, but do you know what’s not typical?

Finding out that the female lead’s ex-boyfriend is also in that bed!

The lead couple lost their minds over this plot twist…

…and so did viewers.

have you seen husband and wife scream to each other after discovering them being on the same bed?!?!?!! BUT THE ENDING REALLY GOT ME CAUGHT OFF GUARD LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!! NGNL PULLING THE PEAK COMEDY 😭😭😭😭😭#NoGainNoLove #NoGainNoLoveEp6 pic.twitter.com/qLxIRi9aqe
