[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Sly and Single Again" Episode 3
Source: Hancinema

"Sly and Single Again" uses humor as its biggest tool and it does it well. It parodies Korean entertainment to hilarious effect and uses the character's imaginations to create some wonderful gags that would not be otherwise possible. What prevents the humor from excess are the serious issues fueling the comedy: divorce, misunderstanding and the effects of poverty and wealth.
That's the best thing about this show: the comedy doesn't belie the issues. Both Ae-ra and Jung-woo have been hurt and the show addresses those hurts through the comedy. Ae-ra feels like he used her and doesn't appreciate everything she did for them during their four years of impoverished marriage and the fact that she is left with the debt she incurred to give him startup capital. He feels singularly betrayed after investing all of his trust and love into her and how she very cruelly ended their marriage and his faith and trust in women. Neither has the ability to see the other's perspective yet and that is where the fun of the show steps in. Getting there is going to be hilarious, good fun. Hopefully.
The wounds from Ae-ra's and Jung-woo's marriage and divorce drives their individual revenges and humor enters. The dichotomy between their behavior with each other and their behavior with their sidekicks (Min-young and Secretary Gil) allows for storytelling, character development and just plain funny occurrences. It is where their imaginations go wild and we get funny parodies on Korean entertainment. One scene has Ae-ra imagining herself to be the lead actress of the popular 2008 drama, Temptation of Wife, where she mocks an element often controversial in Korean entertainment media: the mole that the wife uses as a disguise. This use of parody is one of "Sly and Single Again"'s strong suits.
The sidekicks are also much more developed than many such characters tend to be. While there is not much background for them, they have very distinct personalities and are the only people that can tell the leads that they're acting idiotic.
Then there is the newest addition to the story, Seung-hyun, who has a pretty typical characterization for this genre: rich kid with a massive ego who shirks responsibility. However, his friendship with Jung-woo and with his sister rounds out the character nicely. He has struck up an antagonistic relationship with Ae-ra, which makes the love square even more fun because both male leads have bad relationships with the main female lead. That is the recipe for trouble and more humor. It'll also be a way for her work ethic to rub off on him and let him grow into an adult.
The end of this episode threw Ae-ra into a sticky situation that will bring her to Jung-woo. It's a bit contrived as far as the plot goes, but since the writer handles humor so deftly I'm expecting good things. Don't disappoint me!

@uglypearl - appreciate the time you are spending just to find info about the actors/actresses.... There is a resemblance and I hope we found the right match since they all look alike after some nip/tuck here and there.

I am really surprised that the media only post a pix with no names on all those actresses that played L's gf.  I think it's a recurring role so we might find out who she is later.  It isn't certain since the pix with corresponding name in this chart is so hard to read.
Cutie GIL seemed to have more airtime this week... It's nice to see both Mr Visuals in one screen!

[Cunning Single Lady] Sweet Date of Lee Min-jeong ♥ Seo Kang-joon
Source: MBC Global

▶ [CUNNING SINGLE LADY] broadcasts every Wed & Thu 22:00
MBC’s new Wed&Thu drama series [CUNNING SINGLE LADY] aired a sweet dating scene of Lee Min-jeong and Seo Kang-joon. Although he is younger than her, they entered the company on a same day and this is how their relationship started.
In the third episode, in order to avenge her ex-husband(Joo Sang-wook) who yelled at her to ’take a hike’, she entered his company, ‘D&T Softventures’ as an intern. Seo Kang-joon is in fact the son of the CEO but he is forced by his father to work as an intern in his company. Thus Lee Min-jeong and Seo Kang-joon entered D&T Softventures at the same time and he is interested in her from the first sight. 
Lee Min-jeong ambitiously started her first day but she soon fell into trouble as her lost identity card caused a security accident. She was accused to be the suspect of the accident. That night, Seo Kang-joon found her drinking alone in a cart bar and joined her. In order to cheer her up, he even performed a magic. 
Before the shooting, while actor Seo Kang-joon was learning the magic, both Lee Min-jeong and Seo Kang-joon were amazed at it. This night at the cart bar is a very important scene of the drama plot because it will bring them closer heartedly. Director Goh Dong-sun produced a sensitive acting scene where their hands touch while absorbed in magic performance. 
While shooting the ‘hands touching’ scene, actor Seo Kang-joon expressed embarrassment by bursting into laughter. Actress Lee Min-jeong advised him by saying, “you should be very thoughtful at this kind of touch because it actually touches the hearts of the girls.”
And while reading the scripts before the shooting, Lee Min-jeong asked Seo Kang-joon “how old are you?” Seo Kang-joon gave his real age and it made staff laugh because actor Seo Kang-joon is 22 years younger than his character. Lee Min-jeong made staff laugh on by waving her hands and say “too young~ too young~”
[CUNNING SINGLE LADY]’s Lee Min-jeong and Seo Kang-joon’s sweet date was broadcasted on March 6th at 22:00.

@uglypearl - Thanks!  Simply precious the info that you are bringing to all of us.... Since Cutie L did an OST before, I hope Fantagio has a plan to have each singer sing one song each for CSL.
