No Gain No Love: Episodes 7-8

Can I just start my comment with an homage to Kim Young Dae's hands?!! Because those elegant appendages, so beautifully showcasing the wedding band, are absolutely one of the main characters on this show for me! I mean, talk about sexy...

The show knows it too... The loving close-ups, the focus, just so hot to see a man so committed. and committed he is... So many confessions, said and unsaid, each sweeter and swoonier than the other- That clasping of hands when they kiss said more than a million words. The tight close-up of him undoing her necklace was more intimate than any overt display, it had me breathless at the chemistry. Every frame is imbued with so much sensitivity and care, one can almost feel the love jumping off the screen. The cinematographer sure knows what they're doing... kudos.

This show has shot straight up to be one of my best romances- the humour and heart that it's still not lost despite going into the home stretch- just everything I want from it- and I hope it stays this way.

@britney First, you are right, he was hurt that she "used" him with her kiss to fool the ex, so he was childishly getting back at her. But that was the difference between her fake kiss, which (she claimed) was done without real emotion, and his somewhat forced upon her kiss which (he claimed), was to "use her--not that one was more passionate, but rather the way he said he was going to "use" her was said in an angry sexual objectifying way. He realized the difference immediately, regretted his speech and actions, spent the next quarter episode trying to apologize to her.

One of the themes I like in these contract marriage shows is the way it starts out with people just using each other, but then realizing they value the people more than just as useful legal entities. (of course, as in this case, one person always enters into the contract because they already really like the other person.).

Anyway, I thought that this kissing scene kind of highlighted the differences between "using" someone -- for a job, or for sex -- and actually loving them. I kind of think the polyamorous sister's story will play out the same way.

Being a global brand the bread, I imagine is the same in every country, therefore not really bread.If I remember correctly there was a court case sometime back in Ireland because they classified the bread as confectionary due to the high sugar content to flour ratio....Subway was not not amused! I have not have the dubious pleasure of a State's side sub but the one and only I have had in Sydney certainly didn't fail to disappoint.

[Drama Chat] What’s your favorite romance trope?

by Unit

I just thought of another trope scene I adore: karaoke. If the leads sing a duet together or one of them sings to the other, I am almost automatically sold. My favorite use of it in a Kdrama is in Dear M

Oh man, I could write an essay about the meaning of the shoes in Castaway Diva

Greatest Love! The female lead sells her shoes and the male lead ends up buying them and returning them to her. It's so adorable and sweet and I'm excited no one mentioned it yet so I can, lol

Yeah, he did well with Wedding Impossible but I honestly didn't like the character. I did not blame him. I thought he was great at showing emotion there, and you could see on his face that he knew the character's story.

I watched Moon Sang Min in Duty after School and Wedding Impossible, and I'm looking forward to starting Under the Queen's umbrella.

I think he has potential, but needs something more meatier to work with.

I think his character in Wedding Impossible had more layers and than Ju Won, even though both characters started being basically identical (a hard working "hidden" chaebol).
