Plot
Shin Mi-rae (Kim Sun-A) is a low-ranking official who's been making coffee for her superiors for the last seven years. Her life takes a turn when she wins a local beauty pageant and later becomes the mayor. Coincidentally her name literally means "the new future" (shin = new & mi-ra = future). Along the way, she catches the eye and captures the heart of the charismatic politician Jo Kuk (Cha Seung-Won), a man with a mysterious and painful past and ambitions to one day be South Korea's president.

One of my top ten favorites. The absolute BEST partner for showcasing Sim Sun-ah's talents - a MAN, not a boy; an experienced actor, not mere eye-candy. Besides the comedy and the exquisite soundtrack, this drama touches contemporary issues like food sovereignty, political corruption, environmentalism, the electoral process, etc. Enjoy!

I'll agree that it's good, and there's no doubt that Sun-a-shi and Seung-won-shi have remarkable chemistry; what else would we expect from two such highly charismatic, sexy cast members? I did find myself a little irritated by Mi-Rae at first, but I blame that on the writers for not showing us more vulnerable moments with her character. I think had this small oversight been corrected, then the first 7 episodes wouldn't have felt like they dragged so much. It's only when she begins her fight against the establishment that the story really picks up and we see both Mi-rae and Jo-kuk grow and develop.
I must say, I thought Greatest Love, Night After Night, and My Lovely Sam-soon all had more consistent scripts, although The City Hall had the one of the most satisfying endings.
I'm still looking forward to the day when I can see a drama or a movie starring Kim Sun-a, Choi Gang-hee, Gong Hyo-jin, and Yoon Eun-hye as sisters. That would be what we in the States call a perfect storm of beauty & talent.

Great drama! KSA grabs your attention in the beginning cause her character is so funny and the underdog I'm cheering for.
But as the story goes on it's CSW's character that grabs your heart and leaves you speechless while anticipating and wanting more!
The story, the characters, the actors, everything is simply superb!

I've watched dramas since I was a baby thanks to my mother. City Hall remains one of the best-scripted, well-acted, most-addicting dramas to come out of dramaland in years. Kim Sun-ah and Cha Seung-won are flawless here.

This is the best drama ever. Suna and CSW sizzle on the screen.
Suna's performance is just awesome. A must see drama.
