El Amor es como el Cha-Cha-Cha (2021)

Something different, relatable and refreshing..

I love the story, though not perfect but it is fan to watch. Every episode has a lesson to teach. And each characters' stories are inspiring.

I love how Actors portrayed their roles. Each characters are important and each of them did amazing.

At first, I hate Hyejin's character. She's just too much. But as the story goes, you'll understand why she's like that. Chief Hong's character is so lovable. No one can hate him, he is every girl's dream. He's just too kind. But the characters I really love are Ijun and Ji PD. Ijun is just a kid but his acting and his role is super cute and I really love how mature he is. Ji PD is just so kind, the bromance between him and Chief Hong so cute.

What I am kind of disappointed was the last 2 episodes. They could have made it better. But I think it is the Director's style to drop everything in the last episodes. Anyway, overall I enjoyed it.

Acting genius

The chemistry the storyline the acting the cast the production, everything about this drama is superb! Not a typical love story!

This drama shows how healthy a relationship is, no matter it’s a man woman relationship, parents child relationship, friendship, neighbors, one sided love, everything! Everything is so healthy! Everyone should watch!

The chemistry between the cast, main cast and supporting cast, they did such a very splendid work! This drama really worth your time!

Acting genius for main casts because of their nonstop adlibs. The whole story felt so smooth and calm, thanks to acting genius Shin Minah and Kim Seonho!

Dimplecouple? YESS

I LOVE this kdrama.
I thought it is not that interesting before I watched it but IT IS
The Main couple is so cute! Their chemistry is just perfect
I have never seen a kdrama before, wich has a whole cast with not even one actor I don’t like
The storyline is just so simple but never gets boring.
I know I’m gonna rewatch it soon and crushing over our Seonho.

I would say it’s one of the best kdramas 2021
I personally don’t like romance and life drama this much but Hometown Cha Cha Cha is a hit 🫣
This is definitely a 12 out of 10

Breath of fresh air!

There is a reason this drama has become more mainstream, and it is because it has such a modern relaxing take than other dramas I have seen. The chemistry between the two is so organic and the town people are so raw and real. I loved the concept of the drama without the over cheesiness that some exude. Highly recommend to those who just want a breath of fresh air! FYI you may fall in love with the male lead, the effort he puts into things is unreal and just so swooning. I loved the acting of all of the characters especially the main leads, the different setting of a small seaside town, and the close relationships everyone has with one another. I've seen quite a number of dramas and don't rate 10/10s often but this one deserved it, the unique take is refreshing.

A drama that can make its viewers feel a myriad of emotions. And plus points for high rewatch value!

If there's one thing I can say about this drama, it's that "by the time you finish it, it feels like home."

The characters and the Gongjin setting are HCCC's biggest strengths, imo. From the first two episodes itself, it sucked me in with the variety among the characters we see- kind and caring but kinda stuck-up Hye-jin, handy-man Mr. Hong who goes around doing odd jobs for people, and of course, the Gongjin folks. I hardly ever rewatch dramas, but this one was a wonderful exception- I rewatched it straight-away after the drama finished airing! And I have feeling I'll be rewatching again, sometime soon.

The lead actors' chemistry has to be one of the best ones I've seen in a while. Be it their playful banter, or bickering, or being all cutesy while dating, to the sad scenes.. it all felt so unforced and natural. Especially the cutesy scenes were so SO adorable to watch, I couldn't help but squeal. The love triangle was handled excellently (and healthily) as well, and the bromance between the two male leads was just * chef's kiss *.

If there's any complaints I have about HCCC, it's probably the way the reveal of Du-sik's backstory was handled. The build-up to it felt a bit too long, and it would have been nice if at least two episodes were focused on it, instead of wrapping it all in episode 15. The show still delivered though, and considering the reveal happened in a single episode, it was handled really well! And while I do think it could have been done better, I still loved it. haha.

To anyone who wants a fun little rom-com with a good punch of the feels added to it, just jump right in. You won't regret it. <3

Warm-hearted. Highly recommended with all of my heart!

When I was at the middle of the first episode, my heart has already put 10/10 score for this drama. It might be too early to say that but I was never disappointed after finishing all eps.

Thanks to all the cast & crew who worked hard on this drama. I really enjoyed it. I laugh a lot & cry more. it's not a sad story but the story is about lives. People around ml&fl have their own stories and destiny chained them together. They went through all thick & thin, solved their problems e.g. mental health, family, relationships. All characters have been developed very well.

I feel like some parts of this drama may hit viewers' hearts. Some stories may be similar to someone's. I also feel familiar with some parts of them. That's why I cried a lot because it reminded of my own stories and it healed me. One of the most favorite things about this drama is warm-hearted dialogue. I like many of them. I will rewatch it to read those dialogues again and again, I hope those can help me on both good & bad days. I searched for the writer's name to say thanks (in my head). The series, written by Shin Ha-eun, so thank you for your hard work.

loved it!

this is one of those dramas that once again I’m asking myself why did I let it sit on my to watch lost for so long.

The moment I started it I could not stop it. There was only one episode where I got bored and struggled to get through I think or maybe it was a period around it and I think it was episode 14 or maybe 13-14 but it was just parts and picked back up immediately in 15 for sure.

The last episode was that perfect ending that gives you everything you want and I really just loved both the leads characters so much!! Plus all the side romances and other happy endings for everyone.

FLIPPIN CUTE OK EVERYONE ALL THE CHARACTERS ATE PRECIOUS. You’ll fall in love with the whole town

The show is special in many ways!

This series has a special place in my heart.

I'll start by appreciating the storyline. For me, it was an unexpected story, from what you normally see in kdramas: a countryside, village by the sea. What took my attention the most during the show was how well the stories of each villager were shown. The storyline itself wasn't only about main leads (their past, problems and feelings), but other people's lives mattered in the plot. Apart from other shows that I've watched, supporting characters weren't only "filling in" the plot with funny scenes or a quick refresh from the main leads. Each character had their own past that could be expressed during the show and their feelings were truly shown. They weren't the background of the storyline, they were the part of the life of main leads. Each villager somehow invaded decisions, feelings or their thinking. Even though that the supporting characters played a huge role, I did not feel that main leads weren't shown that much or their story was not the biggest plot. I was curious of others (besides the main leads) but did not wonder, when a love of both of them will show up.

Another matter that stroke me when watching "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" were my reflections after the last episode. I decided to leave them here, in case somebody will need it:
1. sometimes, when we struggle, we don't think about our loved ones. We don't show gratitude to them, forget about their love. Even a slight sign of love to the other person can change their decisions, even when it comes to their lives.
2. When we admire somebody that's far away from us: whether it's about the distance or interests, we are unable to see a person that is perfect for us, will give us comfort and love we need and what's the most important: it's near us.
3. Modesty and simplicity means happy life. You don't have to be rich or have a meaningful job to be happy and satisfied in life. The only thing that's needed is love.
4. Helping another person will benefit you someday.
5. We don't realize how we can loose everybody in one day. Even if it's not our fault that they left (no matter if they died or abandoned us), God will put trials on our way for us to realize that we should appreciate every single moment of our lives.

At last I'd like to talk about the actors' play. I could portret their emotions well. It was clearly seen that they're experiencing those feeling deep inside trying to do their best. The scenery and costumes were pleasant to the eye, were not too eye-catching, they were matching the style and pictured well the personality of the character.

Overall, I'd recommend show "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" for somebody who needs a rest from fast paced dramas, filled with negative emotions and enjoys a simple plot.

Finished this kdrama and definitely recommend!!!!!!

The character development... Just the way everything felt so realistic and so unique is just everything!! Honestly every time Netflix realised a new episode I couldn't wait to wait and scream whenever I had to wait s few days.
The ending was satisfying but I wish to see a season two to see their lives with two kids XD
I cried because I could relate to the story of Du-sik and Mrs Gam-ri's son when he cried around her funeral.
Honestly, this is one of the best k-dramas I've ever watched.

At first it didn't look as good because hyejin had that bratty attitude people didn't like but around the end of the series her character changed a sweet but yet stubborn character which I liked.
I was so curious of Du-sik's life and what happened to him as he was secretive and introverted than he looked.
He.... Really reminds me of myself, also keeping it in and not telling people what I go through everyday that's why whenever the scene of du-sik cries or struggles; I cry on the screen feeling so related to him.
Kim seonho did well on this character and how his character opened up to someone he can trust and love.

I LOVEEEEE the actors and actresses in this k-drama, not only you see the story of the main characters.... But you get each of the characters story and how they get to resolve the problem they faced.
I love the town people, because they were like one happy family. Always there for each other everyday and all the time.
Always sharing their emotions to one another

I loved miseon and euncheols relationship!!! Wish to see a literal drama of them XD
I definitely recommend this K-drama, it's realistic, relatable, down to earth and just sweet.

average not as lighthearted as I thought | some hypocrisy for drama

Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?

Summary of the series:
- Not as Light hearted as I wanted from a rom/com; series had slow sections
- simpatico characters
- there weren't villains but more like distractions to add stress, there are some short struggles, calamity and miscommunications to cause more drama and some stress
- seems like they gave stress to the FL in the beginning and to the ML at the end; the beginning I had to skip since they made it so hard for the FL; the end they threw in the kitchen sink for ML in the last 2 episodes to close it out
- story was ok, simple; FL is pretty straight forward, ML is a vocal clear to the point character but cant speak of his past; they needed to create the drama here with some hypocrisy
- as you can see, the show squeezed all the ML story to the end, so you can imagine how rush the ending is and basically no enjoyment really after they get together except a few scenes here and there

still some joyful parts, some stress and slowness for this series: recommended to watch if this fits you; its not a rewatch for me for sure but good to watch once if you have watch the better ones

Like a hot cup of tea on a cold winter evening!!!

So I finished watching this just now and it took me just 36 hours to complete this ...the way I binged it..I started this show with no expectations at all.. I had heard about it and saw the rating quite high here on mdl so decided to watch 1 episode to test it and then 36 hours later here I am!! Words cannot describe how much I loved this show!! I can go on and on about the story acting direction etc but that is true for many other shows especially Kdramas..what made it stand out for me was the way it made me feel...like I am going through something right now personally and this show just calmed me and made me feel so warm from inside ...ultimate comfort watch!! I cannot give it a higher praise than this!! I could not find one fault in the show..like come at me me with a criticism and I'm sure I will be able to defend it!!! Kudos to the entire team!! Also thanks to this show for introducing me to the most adorable cutie pie/sexy man Kim Seon Ho!! 20/10

a good watch

overall, enjoyed the story. What is striking to me is the stories of side characters and the wholesomeness of them. Was expecting a bit more from two main leads in terms of character development but personally they didn’t do much for me, their chemistry however sparks well. What I do dislike about the whole drama is the constant emphasis on how it’s a “healing” drama, which to me, it can barely scratch the surface of such genre. There are much more healing k-dramas out there to watch, but for those who might not know these dramas, Hometown ChaChaCha would be a good start.
