No Gain No Love: Episodes 5-6

by Unit

Our tropey adventure continues as our contract wedding pivots into an office romance. A birth secret lurks around the horizon, and our secondary romance arc continues to inch towards the enemies to lovers playground.

 
EPISODES 5-6

We open with last week’s mystery visit to Ji-wook. The visitor, MANAGER JANG (Yoon Seo-hyun), threatened to reveal Ji-wook’s existence to his mom’s family in Canada if he didn’t come to work at Ggulbi Education. To keep the promise he made to his grandmother not to interfere with his mom’s life, Ji-wook agreed, and that’s how he ended up as a new recruit in his wife’s workplace.

Hae-young is not exactly pleased with the situation, and Ji-wook can’t tell her the full gist of why he has to work at Ggulbi or why he was unreachable for the past three months — hint: looking after her mom in the nursing home. But since Ji-wook’s new haircut prevents her colleagues from recognizing him, the contractual couple agree to keep their husband and wife status a secret at work. B-but I miss his old hair!

 

Ji-wook’s presence in the head office is a ticking time bomb for Hae-young, and she plots to lower his evaluation at a promotional/training event so that he’ll be sent to a branch office. But Ji-wook’s good looks and manners triumph over Hae-young’s bad plans, and he wins over Ggulbi Education staff and customers alike — by distributing Kopiko and drowning them in the sea of his handsomeness. Heh.

During the event, Hae-young strikes up a conversation with an abused kid, but the abusive father is having none of it. The father attacks Hae-young, Ji-wook charges at him in a bid to defend his wife, and the trio end up at the police station. Oops! Conversation about the abused kid leads Hae-young to mention that her mom used to run a foster home, but Ji-wook keeps it a secret that he already knows this because he was once under Mom’s care. I can’t wait for Hae-young to discover this juicy detail about Ji-wook.

 

Hae-young is surprised when Ggulbi’s lawyer shows up at the police station to represent them, and the lawyer fibs that she must be as vital to the company as a board member. Hae-young also convinces the lawyer to take up the child abuse case. But via a phone conversation between the lawyer and some higher up at Ggulbi, we see that Hae-young’s importance to the company had nothing to do with why the lawyer showed up. Hmmm.

If the lawyer didn’t come because of Hae-young, then it must have been because of Ji-wook. This dude got a job, a new apartment, a car, and a black card in less than two days! What I wouldn’t give to be a K-drama male lead right now. This sorta windfall mostly happens in fiction, but even our fictional man has to question why he’s the recipient of such manifold blessings. Could it be that Manager Jang is his f-f… Ji-wook can’t bring himself to complete the word, but Manager Jang shuts down the paternity suspicion with a deadpan, “I am infertile.” Dead. This entire exchange is hands-down my most hilarious scene of the week!

 

Ji-wook ends up assigned to Hae-young’s team, and she reiterates the importance of keeping their marital status a secret. After working so hard to climb the corporate ladder, she’d rather be known as a team leader, not as someone’s wife. The other new recruit overhears bits of the conversation where Hae-young tells Ji-wook that she’ll look incompetent if he makes mistakes. But while she referred to incompetence as a wife if Ji-wook, for instance, dresses shabbily to work or something, the recruit assumes she meant incompetence as a boss if the rookie makes a mistake. So he “helps” Ji-wook report their team leader for workplace harassment. Oh dear!

Hae-young is summoned to a disciplinary panel, and when Ji-wook learns about this, he rushes to the panel to clear the air — by revealing that he is Hae-young’s husband! Cue: members of the panel packing their surprised jaws from off the floor, and Hae-young’s farewell to her peaceful office life. Suddenly, everyone at work is interested in Mr. and Mrs. Hae-young’s plans to positively contribute to the country’s birth rate, and worried about Mrs. Team Leader’s objectiveness with her husband on her team. But Ji-wook assures Hae-young that everything will be fine as long as he’s transferred to another team, and he’ll make sure she doesn’t suffer any losses at work because of him. How sweet.
