Shin Mina wants revenge on cheating ex in new teaser

by Jenzy

In the new teaser for tvN’s upcoming No Gain No Love, we finally understand why our heroine Shin Mina (Our Blues) is so risk-intolerant and obsessive in her search to find a fake groom. Yup, you guessed it by this article’s title: the answer starts with cheating and ends with ex.

We open our teaser on Sohn Hae-young (Shin Mina), as she marches into a church in bridal costume, complete with a veil and child’s tiara. She turns to the groom Ahn Woo-jae, played by Go Wook (Business Proposal) — except — he’s not her groom. And this isn’t her wedding. Turns out Woo-jae is Hae-young’s cheating ex, marrying his new girlfriend only a week after going official with their relationship.

Woo-jae is pissed that Hae-young has come to sabotage his (very) new relationship, but Hae-young tells him to chillax. This is a happy day. All as she proceeds to flash the bird in their wedding photos. We cannot help but love a petty queen.

However, despite her best efforts to burn the bridge between her and her ex, she can’t avoid him at work. We see Woo-jae ask Hae-young after her mother’s health, a gesture that’s both boyfriend-y and very off limits for him, and Hae-young wastes no time chewing him out for it. She lets him know that despite the fact that his cheating made their entire relationship a waste of her time, she’ll cooly move on if he just returns the money she spent during their relationship: three hundred thousand won. A shockingly low number if you ask me.

Interacting with this intrusive ex is part of the reason Hae-young ends up starting a fake relationship with convenience store employee Kim Young-dae (Perfect Family). But that only leads to further shenanigans, such as at a wedding hall, where she simultaneously bumps into her ex and the snazzy Young-dae in a suit, asking her in customer service speak, “What do you think, ma’am?”

Will Hae-young be able to pull off her epic revenge plot, or will this whole endeavor end up being an embarrassing waste of her time? Looks like we’ll have to watch this show to find out.

Written by Kim Hye-young (Her Private Life) and directed by Kim Jung-shik (Work Later, Drink Now) tvN’s No Gain No Loss will premiere August 26 on tvN, TVING, and Amazon Prime.
