Shin Min-ah’s K-drama Gains Popularity with Controversial “Dildo Fight” Scene

Late at night on September 30, a post titled “A K-drama where a violent man gets beaten up with a dildo” gained tremendous popularity on the Korean forum “theqoo” , amassing over 72,000 views and nearly 300 comments.

The discussion referenced the ongoing K-drama “No Gain No Love” , featuring Shin Min-ah and Kim Young-dae, and included a particularly shocking clip from this series.

Notably, in episode 11, there is a scene in which the secondary male lead Bok Gyu-hyeon (played by Lee Sang-yi) is engaged in a fight with a serial killer. After managing to subdue the killer, he grabs two glow sticks from the ground and begins to beat the villain with them.

However, the glow sticks serve as a censorship measure for the television broadcast; in the OTT version of this sequence, the secondary lead is actually wielding two dildos.

This drama is hilarious; there are many other funny moments besides this.
It was serious just before that moment, and then I burst out laughing. This is the first time I’ve laughed so hard I drooled.
I thought those were lightsabers and couldn’t stop laughing when I discovered they were dildos…
I never imagined there would be a day when I’d see a K-drama villain getting beaten up with a fluorescent dildo.
It was a serious scene, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud lol.
What the heck, I need to start watching this drama.
