A Tale of Second Chances and Laughter
“Cunning Single Lady” is a delightful K-drama that combines romance, comedy, and character growth. While it doesn’t break new ground, it excels in two key areas that make it worth watching.
1. Consistent Character Development
The drama revolves around Na Ae Ra, a divorced woman who dreams of marrying a civil servant. When her ex-husband, Cha Jung Woo, becomes a successful businessman, she decides to win him back. The two main leads stay true to their characters throughout the series. Their growth is subtle but organic, making their reunion convincing. We witness the reasons behind their initial separation and how they resolve their issues. Their relationship feels healthy and equal, a refreshing change from typical K-drama dynamics.
2. Sustained Comedy
Unlike many rom-coms that turn melodramatic halfway through, “Cunning Single Lady” maintains its humor until the last episode. Our male lead, Jung Woo, is adorably petty, providing comic relief. His antics never veer into overly dramatic territory. The drama delivers what it promises: consistent laughs and a heartwarming romance.
However, if you’re seeking a rags-to-riches story or intricate business details, this isn’t the drama for you. The bromance subplot is a bit lacking, but that’s forgivable given the focus on the central couple.
In summary, “Cunning Single Lady” is a feel-good drama that balances humor, character growth, and romance. If you’re looking for a lighthearted watch, give it a try!
