What do you mean by '일' in this case? Work or matter? The best one I think is: You shouldn't do a half-assed job on this work/matter. Or "It's not a good idea to do a half-assed job on this work/matter."

1.This work can't be done half-heartedly 2.It's not acceptable to do a half-assed job ...are both fine. #3 is wrong. See if you can find your mistake.
