Long explanation:
The Korean grammar pattern ~(으)ㄹ 데가 없다 [(eu)l dega eopda] is used when the speaker wants to express that there is absolutely no way to do something or achieve a certain outcome. It implies a sense of unimaginability, expressing that given the conditions or circumstances, a certain event or action is not possible or cannot be executed. The ~(으)ㄹ 데가 없다 [(eu)l dega eopda] pattern emphasizes the impossibility or lack of alternatives.
