Despite not having many expectations for Can’t Lose, I’m finding it to be surprisingly watchable and entertaining — light, funny, with enough characters and cases to keep the plot going without feeling like they’re going to run out of conflict. I appreciate that the conflicts are believable and interesting, without loading on the angst.
So far there are no really bad people in this drama, just people on different sides of an argument who both have valid points. In that, it sort of reminds me of Dal Ja’s Spring mixed with Love & Marriage, though maybe more of the latter. I think the other way around would be stronger, but both are sweet, funny dramas that I enjoyed all the way through.
COMMENTS
Like girlfriday has pointed out, you can see the argument for why this couple should divorce, and why they’re better off together, which is one of the drama’s strengths. Even though I find myself leaning toward Eun-jae in this episode — mostly because I find it incredibly frustrating that Hyung-woo won’t explain his suspicious behavior but asks her to trust him anyway — I don’t think it’s all his fault, either. It’s a case where these two have such different styles of handling things, and on a daily basis it really matters that two people be on the same page if they’re going to try to live together.
I can sort of (barely) why Hyung-woo chooses not to tell Eun-jae about her mother’s case, even though it’s the chief source of aggravation for me. Even if he didn’t tell her the whole truth about where he was or what he was doing, he could offer some kind of explanation other than “I wasn’t cheating, why don’t you trust me?” If she’d asked where he was and he told her he couldn’t reveal it, maybe he could invoke that trust clause. But when she’s caught him in multiple lies, he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.
But I can see that he’s not at liberty to tell Eun-jae about the Mom situation, not just because he promised her and promises are important, but because he’s acting as Mom’s lawyer, and now he’s bound by his professional code of ethics. Attorney-client privilege, and all that. Plus, it’s been established that Hyung-woo is the fiercely idealistic one, so it makes sense that he takes that part of his job extremely seriously. It’s just that his way of handling her doubt and his lies is so ineffectual and lame — which is why I’m vastly relieved that that has come to an end with this four-way showdown.
Can I take just a minute to talk about Hot Bartender, aka Ha Suk-jin? For some reason I find myself really drawn to his character, and I promise it’s not (just) because he’s hot. (By the way? He should totally play Siwon’s older brother in something.) It doesn’t hurt that I’ve been waiting years for Ha Suk-jin to act in something decent, either, after seeing him in lackluster dramas and then having him pick a couple of those dailies that I never watch. But there’s something about his character that I like, the guy who stands by and watches painfully as the woman he loves (or at least has a crush on) cries over another man who doesn’t treat her the way you can see she deserves to be treated. It’s very Jung Il-woo-esque from Unstoppable High Kick, which is the story line that basically got me to watch 160+ episodes of that show. Sadly, I really doubt the show is going to delve into his character that deeply, but I’d love it if they did; it’s almost like Jung Il-woo’s High Kick character ten years later (and therefore totally legal). It’s almost enough to make me root for him instead of the dense hero. |
