Na Ae Ra is the prettiest girl in her town. Many guys around her try to win her heart but she dreams of marrying a civil servant. One day she meets dorky Cha Jung Woo who is preparing for civil service exams. They fall for each other and eventually marry. Her dream of living happily ever after is short-lived when her husband announces that he quit his job and wants to go into business. She supports him throughout the years by working herself to her bone while he coded software in a basement and failed to find investors. When she could no longer take it, she decided she wanted a divorce. She is still juggling jobs years later, to repay the debt she accrued while supporting her husband. She feels life is unfair when she finds out that her husband's business is a success and made him rich. Wanting to even the score, she joins his company as an intern. Thus begins a cat and dog quarrel between ex-husband and wife, who hurt each other, but can’t seem to get over one another.

The premise is the same. A couple for some reason or another breaks up and then the man starts a business and becomes successful. The woman then begins working at the company and the exes have to interact and come to terms with things from their past. The main difference is that Cunning has a way more light hearted feel and there are more funny moments.

Both FL are hard working, smart and deep down very nice, but they come accross as ambitious and disingenuous. They're willing to be the bad guy if it can help their ex move on. In both drama, they are in a love triangle between a hardworking guy and his younger "brother" who is a heir, which makes the guy's relationship harder. In both shows the FL is humble and determined, willing to take crap from her superiors, but she also knows when to stand up for herself.
