Can’t Lose: Episode 5
by | September 7, 2011 | 44 Comments
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... More »

Can’t Lose: Episode 4

It’s war, and it’s also the first episode where I sided more significantly with one character over the other. Listen, when you break the heroine’s heart, you spend the recap in the doghouse. Rules are rules. Stop looking at me with those puppy eyes. Tags: Can't Lose, Choi Ji-woo, featured, Kim Jung-tae, Lee Soo-kyung, Yoon... More »

Can’t Lose: Episode 3

This show’s a great pick-me-up because while the conflict goes from bad to worse, the drama itself stays light and fun, which I appreciate. It’s a nice reprieve from the other series I’m watching lately, which are pretty much the embodiment of doom and gloom. The couple remains delightfully bickering and cute, but mostly just... More »

Can’t Lose: Episode 2

This drama isn’t high-concept, but I find the conflict and the characters engaging and funny and cute. It’s nice to watch a rom-com that feels like a classic screwball comedy, where a mismatched couple simply takes the long way ’round because they’re so riddled with flaws. (There’s actually an entire sub-genre of screwball films that... More »

Can’t Lose: Episode 1
by | August 24, 2011 | 77 Comments
Can’t Lose premiered today on MBC, and was about what I expected: Light, cute, amusing, and with strong chemistry between the leads Choi Ji-woo and Yoon Sang-hyun. Also as expected, though, it had a tough time hanging in the ratings game (it recorded a 6.2%) with two strong competitors on the rival stations. Princess’s Man,... More »

MBC’s Can’t Lose kicks off tomorrow, so we’ll finally be able to see what’s up with this bickering lawyer couple (Choi Ji-woo and Yoon Sang-hyun), why their marriage fell apart, and why they’ll have to get back together. Well, maybe not ALL of that will get shown tomorrow, but let’s hope he drama does a... More »

Can’t Lose’s comic promo posters
by | August 16, 2011 | 67 Comments
Posters are out of MBC’s new rom-com Can’t Lose, featuring Choi Ji-woo and Yoon Sang-hyun as a couple mid-divorce. The posters are silly and cute, which is what I’m hoping of the drama itself — you know, lots of bickering-as-foreplay, lingering attraction despite the split, and fun misunderstandings. If we’re to go off the posters,... More »

by | August 3, 2011 | 45 Comments
Choi Ji-woo and Yoon Sang-hyun play a couple mid-divorce in MBC’s Can’t Lose, and it looks like we’ll be seeing our fair share of bickering. PD Lee Jae-dong expressed his satisfaction with the chemistry between the two, which is a good thing since a drama like this is pretty much held up by chemistry. While... More »
