Episodes: 20

Synopsis:
City Hall depicts the lives of civil servants in a romantic comedy setting. It is about Shin Mi-Rae (Kim Sun Ah), a naive and warm-hearted civil servant who unwittingly becomes the Mayor of Inju City. She is thrust into the spotlight by Jo Guk (Cha Seung Won), a young and brilliant civil servant/politician, who is using her for his own presidential ambitions. Their personalities and beliefs can't be more different. Mi-Rae believes in giving service as a politician, while Jo Guk believes in stepping on others and back-stabbing, if needed, to get ahead. With such contrasting personalities, can the two fall in love? Can opposites really attract?

Great to know that this will be subbed Smile

It's one of the few dramas I'm looking forward to this year, hope it doesn't disappoint like Kim Sun Ah's last drama When Night Comes.

Announcement: B.O.N FunSubs will be releasing soft subs for ep. 1 & 2 only, and hardsubs for all episodes.

The decision to provide only hard subs came after much deliberation and discussion among members of B.O.N FunSubs. Soft subs will be made available for the first two episodes in consideration of those who had downloaded the raws expecting the soft subs.

I will continue to upload The City Hall raw, but please bear in mind that soft subs will not be available from ep. 3. If you need English subs, please wait for the hardsubbed copy.

I've watched ep. 2 and the story is surely building up. I’m impressed by the way Mi-Rae “organized” (manipulated?) everyone including friends, Jo Guk and her colleagues, to help her get into the Herring talent/beauty contest. I’m looking at politicking at its best. This lady may seem simple, kind hearted, naïve and even silly. But the way she got into the contest even though she clearly couldn’t qualify, shows one brilliant strategist. She is also one sinister Lady Machiavelli, if she’s not nice (thank goodness she is)! I LOVE how they are developing her character. She’s going to be one heck of a politician and a Mayor! Look at the way she snapped at Councillor Min. She is one Iron Lady beneath the soft and docile exterior. BOY, am I all excited about the coming episodes!

This must be one of the best romantic comedy series I've watched this year, or for a long time. From the first two episodes, I wasn't so sure whether I liked Kim Sun Ah's character here. I'm more used to her rough, loud and straight-talking character from My Name is Kim Sam Soon and She is On Duty. But by the end of episode 3 of The City Hall, I am utterly convinced of not only her, but the whole series! The humour starting from ep. 3 is beyond description! Priceless! Perfect timing! And the sarcasm is first rate. By the end of episode 3, I was laughing so hard, and so long, and so loud, my tears and my neighbours came out.

They can be found at Soompi's and at BON's site which is http://bonchu.net46.net/city-hall/....

BTW, soft subs are available only for the first two episodes. The remainder of the series will be hardsubbed only.

Indeed, he is a handsome daddy!
I love watching him and Kim Sun Ah in the drama especially when they start to express their feelings toward each other in ep.8 (where the drama hits a new rating records - compare to 'Cinderella Man' and 'That Fool')
