‘No Gain No Love’ To Air Two Spin-Off Romance Episodes

The Korean series No Gain, No Love is such a runaway hit that many fans were disappointed to find the series only had 12 episodes. The writer of the series has decided to remedy that. No Gain No Love will add a two-episode spin-off Spice Up Our Love on Prime Video.

The spin-off will feature actors Lee Sang-yi and Han Ji-hyeon, who play likable second leads in the romcom series. Nam Ja-yeon (Han Ji-hyeon) who is a popular R-rated web novel writer in No Gain No Love, finds herself as the main character of her own web novel in Spice Up Our Love. Actor Lee Sang-yi will portray her love interest in the spin-off as well.

In No Gain No Love, Nam Ja-yeon encounters Bok Gyu-hyun (Lee Sang-yi) when she presses charges against him for writing malicious comments on her web novel. However, in Spice Up Our Love, Nam Ja-yeon ends up as her web novel's main character, Seo Yeon-seo, who is a nutritionist at a company called GB Electric, while Bok Gyu-hyun transforms into her male lead character, Kang Ha-jun, the CEO of GB Electric. The spin-off story comically unfolds as Yeon-seo, tries to escape from her own web novel and return to reality, while Ha-jun, who is single-mindedly devoted to her, continues to pursue her love.

No Gain No Love stars Shin Min-A and Kim Young-dae. Shin plays a woman who is determined to get ahead in the world. When a work opportunity requires her to be a married woman, she enters into a fake marriage with a convenience store worker played by Kim. Ja-yeon is her lifelong friend and roommate and Gyu-hyun is her boss. But the plot has tangled them up in a few more ways. Gyu-hyun’s mother is an ardent fan of Ja-yeon’s web novels and Kim discovers he has a connection to Gyu-hyun.

Kim Hye-young who wrote No Gain No Love is the creator of Spice Up Our Love. Director Jung Hoon and writer Cho Min-jeong are leading the spin-off. The spin-off airs on Oct. 3.
