City Hall - One place where life-changing events happen to the people around it. Story: The story highlights the political status of a certain underdeveloped city mainly because of poor governance and how a civil servant who only knows to make different types of coffee made a transformation for herself, for her citizens and for her love. From a humble coffee-maker to a beauty queen and then a town mayor, these unconventional path towards politics made the story hilarious along the way. I loved the realistic struggle of the main character. She's not someone who rose to heights because of the connections from high-ranking officials that because of it, she faced many difficulties. From someone who only follows orders, she became someone who handled the responsibility to serve her people with dedication and honesty. The interconnecting lives of the public servants on City Hall were also amusing and fun to watch. Its subplots didn't seem to be fillers for the story for they're interesting to see as well. The main couple's love was caught in the middle political ambition and arranged marriage.The romance was a mature one, but there were a lot of cute and sweet moments too. The ending was my favorite episode, it's definitely a happy, sweet and endearing one. But what's more loveable was that there were multiple happy endings here! So, don't miss this one! :D Acting/ Cast: Kim Sun Ah is really a versatile actress, that's why I love her. She can be funny, serious , and can make me cry as well. Cha Seung Won really fits his character here, he can be funny and arrogant but can also be sweet and loving too. I love their chemistry! They really seemed experts on falling in love onscreen! The supporting casts did a great job too, they played their characters well. Music: The songs were nice, it combined with the story well. There was a song here that was really fun to hear, it left me a joyful feeling upon hearing it at that time I was watching this. Rewatch Value: The rewatch value was high because I find it entertaining to watch, I love the couple and this had become one of my favorites. Overall: Give this a shot if you're looking for something different-- a political drama with comedy and a romance. However, it didn't concentrate on politics only, for me, it's seeing and developing yourself in a different light, you never expect it, but it turned out to be the best in you. :)
