When I started Cunning Single Lady, I was looking for a sweet little romantic comedy to make me laugh. In regards to that, Cunning Single Lady delivered the sweet, the laughable, and the heartwarming. What I didn't expect was the dorkiness of its male lead nor how much I would love that. The story of Cunning Single Lady was, in my opinion, fairly generic as far as romantic-comedies go. In fact, it was the weakest part of the whole show because it often fell back on particular tropes (especially when parents/siblings/love interests are introduced into the mix). However, I still enjoyed the story of the main leads, and I don't feel that was overshadowed by the rest of the background. Probably what allowed the main leads' story to flow so smoothly and shine so brightly were the performances of Joo Sang Wook and Lee Min Jung as Cha Jeong Woo and Na Ae Ra. These two actors brought life into their characters, and I was particularly impressed with Joo Sang Wook's ability to bring both the chaebol-esque Cha Jeong Woo and the nerdy Cha Jeong Woo to life (and eventually together). Also, the chemistry between the two leads is off-the-charts good. I'll admit that I wasn't initially invested in the whole divorcee story, but after a few episodes, I connected with the characters and reveled in their witty and biting repartee along with their undeniable sweetness and goofiness. Because of this, I will watch this again for sure.
