I see Im Chulsoo with the green sleeping pillow around his neck and I’m already cracking 🤪

Also, Im Chulsoo giving marital advice to Saeon… priceless, priceless.

Ringing Phone 4
I missed the humour of the initial episodes, but liked episode 4 anyway, because it got us closer to our protagonists, especially our Mr. Smexy Spokesman. His wife is an enigma for him now and each reveal is a shock (and wow that ending!). Heejoo is also surprised that her supposedly cold husband (who is so used to give orders) actually may be caring and protecting her. Those two… so much is there between them… and I am here for it. 😊

    Definitely here for it!!
    And that *interview*!! 😳😂
    A bit too hot to handle is uri Sa-oen. 🔥🔥🔥 I only he could wear appropriate nightwear to bed instead of his formal white shirts – just artfully unbuttoned. 🙈😱

      Well, he was putting her in sleep… perhaps work then and thus work attire?? 🤔

    I loved that moment when he sang for her. He ran with her. Didn’t ask her anything. Was just there for her.

      Oh, I loved him THEN.

        We don’t know yet, but presumably it has something to do with her parents/background

    I was very impressed that the “he puts on her seatbelt for her” trope was replaced by fancy BMW electronic seat manipulation PPL 😆

      If there has to be PPL in a drama, I don’t mind when it’s executed with the self-awareness of NGNL.

      And the way it was set up by his clinginess in the preceding episodes was genius. He wasn’t so annoying without reason or payoff.

Ha, they totally got me with the ending, I expected ex-boyfriend troubles or being busted by that colleague…. but not that talk turning against them. 😆

    I’m enjoying the way the show continues to surprise. It was expected the workplace charade wouldn’t last long, but I never expected it to end that way. And then to have it tie into the job interview scene from the very first episode was 😘

      The writer really knows what they are doing.
      Also, I love the fake outs of every time we are lead to believe that Ms.Kwon found out about her husband dating FL.

      It was… amazing. 😍
      All coming together.

      I was also enjoying the random scene in the fitness centre, with all those Korean mini flags 😁… and then… then they tightened it to the next scene with Fainted Writer. 😂

What? That drinking water in a bee costume was NOT a PPL??
What a missed opportunity for some mineral water company! 😁

I have not watched 7&8 yet as I was in mood for something else and planned watching it later. The Fanwall though is tempting me to postpone it even more. What’s happening with this show??? LND

    You never know! I say give it a go and find out for sure. Nothing wrong with watching it like a weekender, either. Pick and choose who you want to pay attention to and skim the rest!

    LND is more like a weekender than a trendy romcom. With that in mind, I enjoy watching it and the Jung In-hae-Jung So-min pairing is a main draw card. The second pairing is adorable too in addition to the good veteran cast as parents.

    It’s the same story writer as Home Town Cha Cha Cha and the drama suffers similar issues as HTCCC – convoluting plots and characters. But if you watch it with a family weekender’s expectation. It is fine.

      I’m watching mainly for the actors, especially the older ones. Though I also like Jung Somin, from her Bad Guy days, ha. 🙂
      Weekender viewing lenses? @attiton suggests the same. Though I didn’t have that feeling from 1-6 …yet? 😁

      I’m actually really interested in the second couple but it sounds like they have hardly any screentime?

      Like a crappy* weekender.
      Sorry, I just feel like the good weekenders don’t deserve to be compared with this show (I’m a family drama lover). 😂😅

I do have one complaint though, Show.
Why to keep the leads so long apart?
I want more of them! I want forced cohabitation, with the cat, of course. I hope you compensate next week, Show!

    More tropes! More tropes! MOAR T-ROPES!!! God, the entire rest of the plot just so plainly and obviously opened up before us at the end of episode 4 and I still want to see what this writer does with it!!!! I laughed until I ended up in a coughing fit.

      Right after calling his son stupid too..
      He was so charismatic and tough as another chairman dad in the Lee Jae Wook drama so to see him fall in this one was even funnier.

    That was so funny. Especially I am so used to seeing that actor play a bad guy. So this comical role is even more funny.
    The way he tripped had me ROFL. 😂😂

    I think that’d be kind of weird for Ja-yeon though, since it looks like she had a crush on him for the years. But, yes, she deserves a fabulous love!

I’m still amazed at how good No Gain No Love is. It makes me chuckle, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry (oh, Mom 😪) and it fills my romcom (contract marriage) heart till the brim. That proposal scene was EVERYTHING! 😍❤️

      I don’t think I want to watch another romcom right now because I feel it’s just going to suffer in comparison to NGNL. Ep 3 made me both laugh out loud and tear up.

        Yup. I dropped all other dramas with love next door slowly going towards the exit door. I would rather rewatch this episode a few times.

          I actually did something like that! (well,before E3 aired)
          After I finished E6 of LND I went through E1 of NGNL an replayed all my favourite scenes (wedding photoshoot, all main couple bickering… and Chaebol Family 😄).

    Episode 3 was excellent!!! And the proposal was really sweet and took a lot of effort, even though he protested 😂❤️

    I was just saying that it’s a been a long time since I’ve cared about almost every single character in a drama. Lately I’ve just been rolling my eyes and waiting for the leads to come back on screen, but not this one!
