The ''Prime Minister And I'' is a 2013 - 2014 romantic drama series that aired on South Korea's [=KBS2=] network.

Through a series of mishaps, Nam Da-jung (played by Creator/{{Yoona}}), a reporter for a salacious gossip newspaper, "Scandal News", ends up in a contract marriage to Kwon Yul, the Prime Minister of South Korea, a widower with three young children. They try to resist their growing attraction as their lives are under the public microscope.

And what is a show without bad guys? Park Jun-ki is Yul's former brother-in-law and a political rival, especially since he believes the Prime Minister caused the death of his sister seven years ago. He also has some shady dealings with his father in law, and appears to have married for reasons other than love.

The Other {{Love Interest}}s include Seo Hye-joo, a female assistant who went to college with both Yul and Jun-ki but has been Yul's assistant for almost a decade. She has ambitions of becoming the next wife. And then there is Kang In-ho, a mysterious young man who was recently added to the Prime Minister's entourage as Chief of Staff. He has a secret agenda regarding Prime Minister Kwon, and a secret crush on Da-jung.

The series had seventeen episodes.
