I understand "no drama" likes "no problem". Sometimes local says NO DRAMA AT ALL.

Don't know "it's my way or the highway"???

hmm we learn something new every day.

googla bit and found this on a forum:

A: When do you usually use the expression "my way or the high way"?
Does it mean someone does what he/she wants as his/her way regardless of others opinions?

B: Context is indispensable, but you're on the right track. If I say "it's my way or the highway," it means "I'm/We're/You're gonna do it my way no matter what. If you have a problem with that, get lost."

C: highway is one word, meaning a main road.
So when you say my way or the highway, you're saying that if you're not going to do it my way, you better just take that road out of here.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.

It’s my way or the highway: 意思就是我说了算

I saw that in Friends when Monica tried to change the atmosphere in her working place which was very hostile to her. It was all because she criticized the restaurant in newspaper, which drove away the old chef who was the father of the waiters/waitress. And then she was invited to be the chef in that restaurant. Therefore her colleague always kidded on her. So she said that tried to show that she was a “tiger” rather than a “sick cat”.

沉默是金，说话是银，抱怨是粪土！

Normally "It's my way or the highway" is used by persons of higher position. It's very intimidating and bossy. "意思就是我说了算" doesn't convey the full meaning of the sentence.
