She tries to be a good daughter-in-law, but her parents-in-law take her for granted, and her husband differs little from his parents. As she spends more time with them, she becomes confused about her role: whether she is a wife and new family member, or an unwelcome guest and an unpaid worker, and she begins to have doubts about her marriage.[1](https://asianwiki.com/No%2C_Thank_You) • [4](https://www.signup.ondemandkorea.com/program-landing/no-thank-you)\n\nEarly episodes establish the daily frictions of the in-law household. Sa-rin is expected to make her mother-in-law's breakfast, is asked to cancel a work trip to cook for her son, must prepare a memorial service with her mother-in-law alone, and is told by her husband to act her part as daughter-in-law when they visit his parents; these episodes end in arguments with Goo-young.[5](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/no-thank-you/umc.cmc.2y6pe2gflq88ncqjdtgansvms) Other women in the family share the burden: her sister-in-law Moo Mi-young is unhappily married to the financially struggling video game designer Kim Chul-soo, and the outspoken pregnant Jung Hye-rin is married to her brother-in-law Moo Goo-il.[6](https://www.kdramalove.com/NoThankYou.html)\n\n## Production and adaptation\n\nSeason 1 was written by Lee Yoo-Jung from Soo Shin-Ji's webcomic and directed by Lee Gwang-Young, with Choi Hyeok-jin producing and Yoo Song-yi also credited as a writer.[1](https://asianwiki.com/No%2C_Thank_You) • [5](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/no-thank-you/umc.cmc.2y6pe2gflq88ncqjdtgansvms) The series was a co-production of KakaoTV.[7](https://ipmarket.kr/lib/fileDownload.php?file_name=Introduction_Media+Group+Take+Two_EN_2024.05.pdf&save_file=com_intro_file_20241016183927.cbf4c8fd070931b7ebb02f91a0be954b.pdf) Season 2, aired on KakaoTV in 2022, moved beyond the webcomic with a new plot while keeping the same leads.[3](https://newsroom.kakaoent.com/news/4-kakao-entertainment-originals-you-dont-want-to-miss-no-thank-you-change-days-and-more/) • [8](https://www.suara.com/entertainment/2022/06/30/040000/sinopsis-no-thank-you-season-2-drama-keluarga-yang-season-pertamanya-disukai-penggemar-drakor?page=all)\n\nEpisode length is reported differently across listings: AsianWiki gives 20 minutes for season 1,[1](https://asianwiki.com/No%2C_Thank_You) IMDb 20 minutes,[2](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27049507/) [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) and Apple TV 21 minutes,[9](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/no-thank-you) • [5](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/no-thank-you/umc.cmc.2y6pe2gflq88ncqjdtgansvms) and the fan review site KDramaLove 22 minutes across the 24 total episodes.[6](https://www.kdramalove.com/NoThankYou.html)\n\n## Cast\n\nPark Ha-Sun, known for *Two Weeks*, *Three Days*, and *Dong Yi*, plays Min Sa-rin, and Kwon Yul, known for *Whisper* and *Lie To Me*, plays Moo Goo-young; the reviewer at KDramaLove credits both with strong chemistry and notes nostalgic flashbacks tracing their relationship from childhood through college.[6](https://www.kdramalove.com/NoThankYou.html) The supporting cast includes Moon Hee-kyung as mother-in-law Park Gi-dong, Kim Jong-goo as father-in-law Moo Nam-cheon, Jo Wan-ki as Moo Goo-il, Baek Eun-hye as Jung Hye-rin, Choi Yoon-ra as Moo Mi-young, Choi Tae-hwan as Kim Chul-soo, and Kang Ae-shim as Sa-rin's mother Uhm Young-hee.[1](https://asianwiki.com/No%2C_Thank_You) • [2](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27049507/)\n\n## Theme and reception\n\nThe series addresses the position of daughters-in-law in contemporary Korean family life. An academic paper on Korean and Central Asian family imagery cites *No, Thank You* (2020–2021) as an example of dramas exploring the challenges daughters-in-law face with their in-laws and their expectations.[10](https://portfolio.afu.uz/storage/documents/k8oERLhZBlXffDXkUATDKvqbZylpQGT8FmScuw0X.pdf) The KDramaLove review summarizes its message as showing that modern Korean women still face day-to-day inequality while Korean families adjust to new realities, delivered through likeable characters and simple dialogue.[6](https://www.kdramalove.com/NoThankYou.html)\n\nKakao [Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/entertainment) reported that season 1 was well received in the United States, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, and that season 2 rights were acquired in North and South America with Asian deals in progress; the company attributed the show's resonance to its depiction of challenges typical of Korean in-law relationships combined with humor and production quality.[3](https://newsroom.kakaoent.com/news/4-kakao-entertainment-originals-you-dont-want-to-miss-no-thank-you-change-days-and-more/) In the United States the series streams on the Kocowa Amazon Channel and OnDemandKorea, with English, Spanish, and Portuguese subtitles on Kocowa.[9](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/no-thank-you)\n\n## References\n\n1.
