The Moon That Embraces the Sun

The Moon That Embraces the Sun/ The Sun and the Moon/ 해를 품은 달 / Haereul Poomeun Dal **\ (Korean)
20 episodes
Jung Eun Pyo as King's attendant Hyung Sun
Ohh the dramatical Drama! the Intrigue! The convincing characters and storyline that keeps you moving along with interest! This drama is a creatively-written story about an all-consuming love to last the years, and... its also about just how badly things can get mired in political ambition and manipulation.. with just a touch of mysticism thrown in for measure. Favorite character(s): well lessee how to shorten such a long list? Hyung Sun, for his big comical smiles. Jan Shil for being just odd enough to make for an exceptional best friend/sister. and Prince Yang Myung, for finding a way to support his brother when there was much need.

Crown Prince Lee Hwon fell literally for Yeon Woo at first sight. But it was a relationship doomed for a several year fail. For unbeknownst to the two, there was a hidden wrest for power going on that would quickly tear them asunder with forbidden black magic.

Prosecutor Princess

Prosecutor Princess/ Geomsa Princess ** (Korean)
16 episodes
Park Shi Hoo as Seo In Woo
A little too much conjecture for me, lots going on in gathering past evidence etc. But I did like the princess/lawyer chemistry... even if he was using her for a hidden agenda. I'm not too sure what it was, but I wasn't terribly fond of the prosecutor love triangle. fav scene(s): Waking up to the new talking alarm clock.

A highly-intelligent ditz/new prosecutor from a well-to-do family, first alienates then endears her new working companions while getting a bit of 'lawyerly' help in pursuing her love interest. All while being prompted to reopen a 15 year old murder case that involves her own father.

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.
