Still trying to figure out what to watch next? Then hear me out! Both the two seasons of the popular KakaoTV romance drama “No, Thank You” starring Park Ha Sun (“The Veil,” “Two Weeks“) and Kwon Yul (“Dali and Cocky Prince,” “Haechi“) are now available on KOCOWA!
“No, Thank You” is based on Soo Shin Ji’s webcomic “Myeoneuragi”. The first season, which started in 2020, tells the story of a daughter-in-law Min Sa Rin who tries to live in South Korea’s patriarchal society and do what her in-laws want her to do. AND finally, after two long years, the second season premiered in 2022! The second season still focuses on Min Sa Rin, who is now used to being a daughter-in-law, and how she gets involved in a strange case.
A Married Couple’s Way to the World of In-laws
This is the kind of drama that a lot of married and newlywed couples can relate to because the first season revolves around newlyweds as they navigate their way through the complicated world of in-laws and Korean traditions.
Let’s meet the Characters!
Min Sa Rin (Park Ha Sun)
The main character of the drama! She is an expert at her job and has been working at a major corporation for 7 years, but she’s a rookie at her marriage since she’s only been married for one month. She tries hard to be liked by her in-laws but encounters unexpected incidents and finds it hard to get along with her new family.
Mu Gu Young (Kwon Yul)
The husband of Min Sa Rin! Moo Goo Young is an ordinary husband who is not particularly good or bad. Although he loves his wife, he gets caught up in confusion between her and his family.
Park Gi Dong (Moon Hee Kyung)
Park Gi Dong is Moo Goo Young’s mother and Min Sa Rin’s mother-in-law. She is an extremely realistic mother-in-law.
Why You Should Watch “No, Thank You“?
A Drama That Deals About Marriage and Relationships Between In-Laws
In most K-Dramas, we’ve seen them end with a wedding, but that’s not how things work in real life. I really liked how this drama talked about in-laws since they are also part of your new family. Like Min Sa Rin’s story, some in-laws may be good, and others may be too much.
“No, Thank You” features a good daughter-in-law who tries hard to get her in-laws to appreciate her, but they just take her for granted. To make things worse, her husband, Gu Young is not that much different from his parents, so Sa Rin begins to have doubts about her marriage.
An Eye Opener Drama about Korean Marriage Culture
It’s not your typical love story because “No, Thank You” will open your eyes to Korean marriage culture in ways you never imagined. The drama will show you that marriage isn’t all roses and butterflies, especially at the outset, because we’ll be adjusting to the presence of new people in our lives.
This drama is for all the newlyweds and people who want to learn more about Korean marriage culture. This drama sheds light on a daughters-in-law’s struggles in traditional Korean families. Even worse than not feeling accepted in her own family, she is expected to perform all of the housework and shouldn’t say no to their wishes. This drama introduces us to one of the strongest K-Drama leads, Min Sa Rin, and we root for her journey as a newlywed!
A Short Form K-Drama Everyone Can Binge watch.
Oh, here’s some more good news for people who don’t like long K-Dramas! Every episode of the web drama “No, Thank You” is 25 minutes or less, so it’s perfect for binge-watching with your family and friends! Since it’s a short drama, I really liked how straightforward it is and how there are no boring parts.
