One of the most loved K-Dramas recently was No Love No Gain.
Yet, as much as netizens loved the show’s main actors, fans loved the second lead couple, Lee Sang Yi and Han Ji Hyun. The duo blossomed throughout and battled all conventions to create an authentic pairing.
the only reason this scene worked was bc of lee sangyi and han jihyun like it could’ve EASILY become cringy saying all those corny lines and overexaggerating but they NAILED the awkwardness, the banter, the flirtiness and even the tension #NoGainNoLoveEp10 pic.twitter.com/QVQqwSzYO2
