History Series / TheCityHall

Set in Inju City, a provincial small town famous for its fishing industry, it's about the happenings between a young woman mayor and an elite bureaucrat. [[CorporateSamurai Ju Gook]] is an exceedingly smart government official who 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 Inju City where Shin Mi Rae was working.

As their paths meet, they have to deal with each other’s personal and social differences. But despite their constant bickering, they end up falling in love.

* PottyFailure: In Episode 6, the extremely cute but thoroughly obnoxious councilwoman Min Joo-hwa suffers this very unladylike fate. While visiting protagonist Shin Mi-rae's bar with several journalists, she insults and belittles her for losing her job. This turns out to be a very bad decision, since she suffers a severe PottyEmergency and asks to use the toilet, which she mocks for being backward! Shin Mi-Rae is understandably [[IncrediblyLamePun a bit pissed off]] and takes the opportunity to get back at her, holding the key to the toilet out of reach and gloating about how good it is to abuse power - and informs her that there are no other toilets nearby, meaning that she is either using their toilet or her knickers. After making her squirm and PottyDance for a while while suggesting that the journalists report on her increasingly likely accident, she gives her the key, giving her [[HopeSpot the impression that she's going to make it after all]]...and then smacks her hard on the bottom, causing her to finally lose control and wet her skirt in front of the journalists with a squeal of distress.
