City Hall
City Hall ** (Korean)
20 episodes
Kim Sun Ah as Shin Mi Rae
Cha Seung Won as Jo Gook
First or so episodes were total yawners for me. As it began to pick up though, I found appreciation for the wonderful acting by the leads.. the plucky defending courage of ma-rea, and the 2 'typhoon hit' guys. fav scene(s): caught embellishing the story.. again, the body contract, and being unwilling to give him up.. even through a seemingly 'all is already lost' moment.
A low level worker in a small city hall joins a fashion show, wins it, and is then caught up in the red-tape of political absconding of prize money. She protests at the quiet encouragement of the new deputy mayor and this broils up into a political run with the girl vying for the lead city seat. and the guy looking to reach higher yet.
