I have just finished episode 12 of City Hall and I feel like someone who's had a cup of warm strong tea after coming in from the rain. It just so hits the spot. This year has been a year where many a drama I anticipated eagerly (BOF, My Fair Lady, YAB) disappointed and others I thought would be awful made me fall in love (Tamra, Brilliant Legacy, City Hall) and I am so happy.
Episode 12 basically sums up why you should watch City Hall today if you haven't yet.
Reason 1: It features a heroine who can say this:
Reason 2: It features a hero who looks at her proudly and warmly when she says it:
Reason 3: Slashy teasing.
Reason 4: Because when a city hall jerk tries to school Mi-Rae in "her place" because she is a political outsider and a woman, Mi-Rae sticks it to him, hard.
Reason 5: Fun political machinations.
Reason 6: Cha Seung Won is hot and wears exclusively suits.
Reason 7: Adorable OTP jealousy. No matter the political experience, goofiness occurs.
Reason 8: Swoony romantic moments. That can cost her her heart and him his political future.
