Korean Romantic Comedy Drama

Another romantic comedy “The City Hall” from the famous Kim Seon-Ah and Cha Seung-Won.

If you are a “Kim Sam Soon” fans, you will notice immediately that there are two major changes on Seon-Ah, first she has slim down a lot and she came back with  a very professional look.

This round Seon-Ah is Sin Mi-Rae, who has been working as a secretary for 9 years. While awating for the opportunity to be promoted she is holding a tiny role and doing odds job like brewing coffee for the rest of the team. Does this sound familiar?

As always be assured she is as hardworking as before in the role of “My name is Kim Sam Soon”. With all the hard work and thanks to the available apportunity, she is then promoted. Surprise to many people she is elected as the mayor of the small town she is living. Of course, she will not have done it without Jo-Gook help (played by Cha Seung-Won) the youngest state congressman. There is where the relationship flowers.

Jo-Gook who is cold and a strategist has never thought that he will love the so-so lady Mi-Rae. He was only helping Mi-Rae to the Mayor position in order to control her as a puppet with the pupose of having an un-lawful factory built in the town.

Before watching this drama, viewers should watch “My name is Kim Sam Soon” first or else you will miss some jokes in this drama. For example, Mi-rae  mentions that her ex-boyfriend looks like Hyeon Bin, isn’t this sound familiar? You can expect some similarity in both Sam Soon and Mi-rae characters. Seon-ah acting skill  is definitely better than the last round and Jo-Gook who is mature and handsome enough to help Mi-Rae overcoming a lot of dificulties from behind has made them a compatible good-looking couple all together.

All time couple with a guy helping a gal on her career and growing to lover her character as well. You can expect lots of laughter and some heartfelt tears in this drama, you won’t be dissapointed. Happy watching!
