Kang So-ra contemplates happiness in Can We Be Strangers

by tccolb

Checking in on the latest promos for ENA’s Can We Be Strangers, we get a deeper look at our leads Kang So-ra (Revolutionary Love) and Jang Seung-jo (Good Detective 2) in a new poster and video teaser, as well as new stills.

The rom-com places fellow lawyers Oh Ha-ra (Kang So-ra) and Gu Eun-bum (Jang Seung-jo) in a sticky situation: they’re a divorced couple who now have to work together as colleagues at the same firm. But, as seen in the new trailer, this allows our ex-pair another opportunity to reflect on their tangled past and think about how they can re-define their relationship going forward.

In the new teaser, we open with Ha-ra explaining that she’s a divorce lawsuit goddess while the captions continue: “I am a lawyer who specializes in divorce. I am divorced as well.” As she wonders aloud about what happiness might be, the following sequence takes us through Ha-ra and Eun-bum’s relationship history as the text summarizes each chapter: love, marriage, hatred, and separation.

We then return briefly to the present where Eun-bum is threatened out of Ha-ra’s office — but we cut to moments of laughter in both their present and their past as the captions continue the question of what happiness might be. Turning to the audience, the appearing text screens ask: “Please tell me what true love is, what true breakup is, what true happiness is.”

As the video comes to a close, the captions introduce our two actors before taking us to the final screen: “I am a divorce lawyer who is divorced.” In voiceover, we then end on Eun-bum asking, “Can We Be Strangers?”

Directed by PD Kim Yang-hee (Our Blues) with scripts by Park Sa-rang, ENA’s Can We Be Strangers premieres on January 18, following Unlock the Boss in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
