Synopsis
City Hall is a drama that will deal with politics in a romantic comedy genre. It’s about the happenings between a young woman mayor and an elite bureaucrat. Jo Gook is an exceedingly smart government official. He passed the Higher Civil Service quickly, and basically is the perfect guy. But being a deputy mayor is not enough for him. He lives with the dream of becoming South Korea’s President. He should have easily gone straight to the top, but due to an unexpected incident, he gets dispatched as a deputy mayor for a provincial small town, Inju City, where Shin Mi Rae was working. Shin Mi Rae is a low-ranking secretary in Inju, but she works her way up in becoming the youngest City Mayor. As their paths met, they have to deal with each other’s personal and social differences. But despite their constant bickerings, would they end up in each other’s arms?

“Can you imagine how BG’s heart will beat when you see JG agreeing to buy the sneakers then putting them on for MR, then have his arms around her, then walk
romantically down the road and then, to top it off, planting a sweet sweet kiss on her. How will the heart beat?”
Oh yes, did you see that look before that kiss? JG looked down on her face (ahem). Can you imaging his breath on her face? How will the heart beat? My stopped. Kekeke!!

Hi cityhallers. Love reading all the lovey dovey scenes.
Did anyone mention that lovely scene of the GuMi couple
buying the couple sneakers? Can you imagine how BG’s
heart will beat when you see JG ageeing to buy the sneakers
then putting them on for MR, then have his arms around
her, then walk romantically down the road and then, to top it
off, planting a sweet sweet kiss on her. How will the heart beat?

CityHallers!
Other romantic gestures…taking a long drive along the coast…lying on the deck (can’t recall the korean name for it) talking and looking up at the stars!
Also, recently saw BB in another drama. He was throwing another tantrum and defied the laws of gravity again! How this man can aim forward and have objects go backwards makes me question Issac Newton’s laws of motion theory! Well, at least this time he did hit his target once with a note pad! LOL!

CityHallers BGs!
The acceleration of the heart when in the presence of that special one…making memorable places while dating e.g. seashore, park, playground, river bank, mountain cliff, restaurant…aiding that special one without them knowing it…anticipating the person to call on your cellphone…going to that person’s side when they call…listening/consoling when nothing needs to be said!
