CW: City Hall Spoiler
It is Kim Sun-A 's natural acting in "My Lovely Samsoon " that brought me to this drama from a while ago.
In "The City Hall" again in a role typical for females in Korean drama : Underdog, obedient woman with nothing going for her finding her strength eventually.
As typical as this "Korean" trope might be, as male I have seen nice examples of that in my own private and working life.
Nothing "Korean Trope": It is Reality.
