Seems like it may mean something like "it's not like that"?

What are the words/particles at work here? そう+も+いかない?




That means, ”(I have an ideal, a plan or a hope etc. but) the reality is
defferent and it doesn't go well as much as I expect."

So, this phrase imply that the speaker has an expectation for anything but
actually it hasn't meet to his/her expectation yet.

You can also say in other words, "そう＋は＋いかない/いかなくて”, "うまく+いかなくて".

In this context, above both phrases are same.
