Drama - 市政厅 (City Hall)

I say this show GROWS on you. The initial part is really quite dry but the story slowly develops ...


Shin Mi-rae is a civil servant who's been working at a very low post for the last seven years. Known for her great coffee, she fells in love with Joh Guk, the new deputy mayer. Mi-rae has a great deal of credit card debt, so she enters a beauty pageant to win the first prize of 20,000,000 won. But when the prize money ends up in the mayor's pocket, Mi-rae holds a one-person demostration in front of city hall. After a series of ups and downs, Mi-rae gets her price money, but has no choice but to resign from her job. When the situation is leaked to the press, the mayor resigns as well.

The job of mayor is up for grabs and Mi-rae becomes nominated as a mayoral candidate with the support of her followers and Joh Guk, the deputy mayor. Will Mi-rae rewrite history as the youngest female mayor ever? What is Joh Guk's real intention in helping make Mi-rae mayor?
