On January 7, a rep from MBC's new Wednesday and Thursday drama 'Cunning Single Lady' revealed that the male lead, Cha Jung Woo, will be played by actor Joo Sang Wook while the female lead, Na Ae Ra, will be played by actress Lee Min Jung.

'Cunning Single Lady' will be a romance comedy centering on what unfolds when a former husband and wife meet each other once again after their divorce. 

Joo Sang Wook's character Cha Jung Woo is a passionate IT prodigy while Lee Min Jung's character Na Ae Ra put more effort into her looks than her studies and ended up marrying Cha Jung Woo.  However, after their divorce, she went through a difficult life, which is why, when she reencounters her now wealthy husband, she decides to seduce him again.
