Can’t Lose holds first script reading
That was fast. It seemed like
just yesterday that the leading man,
Yoon Sang-hyun, was cast to partner
Choi Ji-woo in her new drama, and already they’re in rehearsals.
With casting now confirmed, MBC’s light romance
Can’t Lose went straight into script readings on July 18. The drama is about a
married couple (Choi and Yoon) in the process of divorce, which leads to
“fierce, but funny” episodes. Looks like the comedy is a strong
presence from the start, since there were reportedly bursts of laughter
at the table read in response to the comic situations and dialogue.
The drama also features a robust supporting lineup that includes
Kim Jung-tae (the wonderfully creepy Hirayama in
Miss Ripley),
Park Won-sook (Pil-joo’s shrill mom in
Best Love), veteran
Kim Ja-ok (
High Kick Through the Roof,
The World They Live In), and
Jo Mi-ryung (
Life Is Beautiful, Chuno).
I think this could be a fun drama, if the chemistry between Choi
Ji-woo and Yoon Sang-hyun is right. Seems like we’re in for a lot of
cute, comic bickering, which is a hoot when done right, and I’d love to
see Choi’s lighter side out in full force, since I know she can do cute.
If her recent
1 Night 2 Days stint showed anything, it’s that she’s an aegyo queen. And Yoon
Sang-hyun does have a tendency to overdo the comedy, but I actually
prefer when he’s being dramatic, because he tones it down and gets you
with the emotion. I can totally see them fighting their way right into
romance (or
back into it, since I presume they had it at one point, but have since lost that lovin’ feelin’).
Can’t Lose follows
You’ve Fallen For Me and premieres on August 24.
