Fantastic character development in a meaningful workplace romcom
Cunning Single Lady has its issues, and watching it now does make some of the storylines feel dated. BUT overall it’s a really great show with some of the best character writing in kdramas.The lead actors do a fantastic job portraying the rocky relationship between the ML and the FL, and the ending really feels satisfying given all the struggles they go through to get there. Plus, both actors have impeccable comedic timing, leading to many laugh-out-loud moments.
I would recommend this drama to anyone looking for a romcom with some more mature leads and deeper storylines relatable to older viewers.
Tropes:
Workplace romance
CEO ML to working-class FL
Enemies to lovers
Pre-established relationship; leads start out divorced
ML falls first
Double love triangle with scheming second leads

Like comfort food in drama form
ABP does a really great job of taking tried-and-true cliches and putting them together with high production value and good pacing.This drama to me is endlessly rewatchable and was really addictive when I first watched it. I was waiting every week impatiently for new episodes.
The acting is great - Kim Se Jeong is one of my all-time favorite actresses and she does an incredible job here.
If you're looking for a fun popcorn drama with enough cliches to comfort and enough freshness to entertain, this is it.
