Drama Casting & News
Pageant finalist Kim Sun-ah
by | April 23, 2009 | 33 Comments

Kim Sun-ah walks the pageant runway — and cracks up crew members in the process — for a scene in the upcoming SBS drama City Hall.

In the scene, her character participates in the “Miss Baendaengi Pageant” (and being that a baendaengi is a kind of fish, we can guess the event is not exactly at Miss Korea levels), jumping at a chance at the 20 million won prize ($15,000) to pay off her credit card debt. (No hint yet whether this is before or after her character becomes mayor. I’d vote for before.)

 

 

After being selected among the first 100 contenders, Kim’s character then makes the final cut to be among the last 15 standing. As a finalist, she walks the runway with the other competitors, which Kim accomplished with a particularly comic flair. The shoot took place in front of an audience of 400 and Kim shot about 20 takes.

City Hall airs its first episode next Wednesday, April 29. This particular scene will air in Episode 4, which broadcasts on May 7.

    I love her she’s so funny! She’s also HAWT MRAW!

  2. ee

    i thought the title read, “Pregnant Finalist Kim Sun Ah”. lol.

    What is that dress? o.o It’s so..floaty? Voluminous? It kind of makes her look like she has fins (which, I guess, it fitting since it’s a Miss Baendaengi competition). KSA is still really pretty, though.

    This show is starting to look cute. Maybe I’ll give it a shot, if I remember.

    Oh dear, i can’t wait to watch this :D Kim Sun Ah is always so funny and cute!

    And although her last drama was a flop, I enjoyed watching it. Might be because Lee Dong-Gun was in it too, but anyways, I adore her.

    @ee, you may need your eyes check out. lol
    the dress look hideous, but she’s lovely.

    Ha3x … definitely inspired by the ‘story’ of Sarah Palin who was the first runner up in the Miss Alaska Pageant in 1984 …

    Hmm…nice dress…

    Why do I get the feeling City Hall is going to be another flop? I’m so uninterested no matter how good Kim Sun Ah and Cha Seung Won look together.

    Miss Congeniality, anyone? (:

    That aside, I’m really hoping for a fun comedic series (that isn’t over the top), so am fairly excited by these pictures, especially the last two ones with her funny expression!

    I would watch this series just for this episode.

    It looks so hilarious and has the classic Sun-ah touch of humour.

    Watch the NG of City Hall and you`ll see how great she is.

    As for this scene, I`m really waiting for this.

    City Hall….Fighting!
    She`s beautiful as ever!

    I am looking forward to seeing this drama. Hope it does not fail my expectation like the last one that she did.

  15. 15 Sere

    I don’t want to get my hopes up, but it does sound funny!

  16. 16 alodia

    Omo! Episode 4? I really have to wait until episode 4 for this scene? I thought the “Ms. Baendaengi Pageant” is going to be on episode 1. :(

  17. 17 Boraah

    Wait… A city mayor that entered a buety pagant? Is this character based off Sarah Palin?

  18. 18 cosmopolite

    She’s a great comedic actress :D

  19. 19 sophia

    i thought the title read, “Pregnant Finalist Kim Sun Ah”. lol.

    So did I! hehehe…

    5 more days to go! Read that they have already filmed like 9+ epis already. I really hope the PD and writer keep the comic moments light and funny without being slapstick. During the interview with the 2 lead actors, didn’t CSW say the focus of this drama is on politics? Korean politics? If it is anything like the news on TV, ya, they shout at each other and they slap each other’s face…yep..that’s funny! No?

    Can’t seem to find anything on Just Looking. Shouldn’t they be doing a press conference too?

  23. 23 Shirls

    to omo:
    they already had their press conference. It was held on April 16th.

    They have filmed 9 episodes already?! O__O that is really fast.
    Im so looking forward to City Hall after watching all those preview clips. I thought it was be mainly focused on politics, but the writer/PD combo added humor to it, which i like. And from the previews, I don’t think the drama will be heavily based on politics.

    ohh gosh…lovely suna still the queen of comedy…:-)
    thns jastinel for the cityhall NG….I enjoying watching… she pretty cool and funny I love suna ever… 5 days to go…:-)

    @23 Shiris

    Thanks. I haven’t looked yet but I just want to clarify that I was looking for the press conference of Just Looking/Six Months/While I was looking/That Fool. I m also looking forward to this drama but every time I tried to google, I face problems bcoz they keep changing title!

    I also don’t think City Hall will be too heavy in it’s political theme. But I am guessing that it will center around women in korean politics which is dominated by men. And I am hoping this drama is about changing mindset through a comic look at male chauvinism in korea from a socio-cultural aspect.
