TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
lia00027 The story is about 2 people from different background but have same wish to serve the country well. Kim Sun Ah acted as "Shi Min Rae" a lousy government worker whom had strong will to do what she want to do till the end, while Cha Seung Won acted as "Jo Gook" an elite government who was intelligent and cool. They both met when Jo Gook was ordered by his powerful dad who was not acknowledging him as a son but merely a student to a small town to keep an eye on the government office there, whereas Shi Min Rae worked as the secretary of that government office hence they both often meet. Jo Gook admired Min Rae's strong personality and proposed her to be a mayor of that town which she at first hesitantly agreed, with the help of her friends and good personalities with Jo Gook always teaching her she managed to become a mayor and the love affair between those 2 started. Jo Gook had a fiancé from powerful rich family who he didn't care and love but he always care and loving toward Min Rae who is straight-forward and honest.It's a happy ending drama. As you know the rating is the highest when it was broadcasting on TV among its competitors.Highly appraised of the acting both of the main actors (Cha Seung Won and Kim Sun Ah). Sun Ah is the best Korean actress who can bring such a wonderful moment to any drama that she act (my name is Kim Sam Soon, when it's at night, city hall), while Seung Won is masculine and gave great afford for his rule to sad, happy, and strong. The wonderful script and plot are the main points of a great drama and I found it in this drama, the powerful love story between these two is mature and not all about yelling and childish like what Korean drama usually about. The soundtracks are also nice to listen to.GREAT DRAMA!
