The show's recent episodes have served viewers unexpected twists, pushing the boundaries of humor in K-drama.
A Controversial Scene Sparks Debate
In its 11th episode, which aired on September 30, No Gain No Love reignited discussions around the classic “Kimchi Slap” trope made famous by MBC’s morning drama Everybody Kimchi!. The latest episode escalated the hilarity with a surprising and divisive scene that has set social media ablaze.
Lee Sang Yi’s character, Bok Kyu Hyun, finds himself in a showdown with a serial killer, but instead of the usual weapons, he wields two seemingly glow-in-the-dark sticks. In a twist that caught viewers off guard, it is soon revealed that the objects are, in fact, dildos. This unexpected choice of weaponry adds a layer of absurdity to the confrontation, embodying the show's “unserious” approach to storytelling.

It sparked a passionate debate online, with fans split on whether the comedic twist was refreshing or simply too outrageous. Some hailed it as a clever commentary on K-drama conventions, while others felt it strayed too far from the genre's roots.
