City Hall to Blue House

Tweet

After so much angst City Hall ended with our beloved mayor Shin Mirae and Assemblyman Jo Gook together without the bitchy Go Hae and meddling BB. Affected much? Yeah. I was really down this last few days because of the eps 17, 18 and 19.

The ending was when Jo Gook proposed to Shin Mirae, with the implied marriage (mostly picture taking) and the campaign trail to Blue House. Blue House is Korean's White House (US) or Malacanang (Philippines).

Finally a happy ending. I can sleep soundly today.

I can't let this opp pass without mentioning Jo Gook's assistant, Ha Soo In or Lee Joon Hyuk in real life. He's the prosecutor in City Hunter (after 2 years). I like both his character in City Hall and City Hunter but of course he much cuter on the first KDrama.

Emotions Overflow

That's the exact term I can describe ep 11 to 15 of City Hall.

I can't really describe my feelings right now so let me go through some pictures.

Love, why do you always have to be complicated?

I was getting bored waiting for new eps for KDramas Protect the Boss, Scent of a Woman and Myung Wol the Spy. We had 4 days Eid holiday so I finished everything up (meaning latest ones). I gave up on ep 2 of JDrama Ikemen Desu Ne, not because I didn’t like it but because it I can’t help but compare it to the original You’re Beautiful and kept on missing Jang Geun Seok. I told myself if this will be the case, might as well watch YAB again for the 3rd or 4th time.

And so I decided to watch the KDrama City Hall instead.

I am on the 10th episode already and I kept on hating Jo Gook (Cha Seung Won), he’s so mean to Shin Mi Rae (Kim Sun Ah).

Jo Gook, how can you be such a user? And Mi Rae, how can you be so stupid?

I must admit though that he looks yummier here than as Dokko Jin in Best Love (but I love his character there!)

Was late on this one, shown in Korea on April 2009.

What was I watching then? Not sure, I started blogging my Drama Addiction on May 2009.

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.
