Refreshing
This drama has the charms I was looking for. It was light, fresh, new, chill, and definitely teaches you some things about life. I really like slice of life dramas and it was to my taste. The couple were so cute. Hong Du Sik's character was new to me as I've never seen any male lead of such traits and characteristics. He and Yoon Hye Jin really is a match made in heaven. All the other side characters too were likeable. Each one of them was given spotlight and it was heartwarming to see them gather and talk like a whole big family. This drama gave me a Reply Series vibe and I'm not complaining. Definitely loved watching it and would rewatch if given the time.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Sweet and Sassy
This heartwarming drama with perfect comedic and tear-jerk timing was so fun to watch! I had to give it a 10 overall. The ensemble of characters brought to life a small seaside town that you would want to live in. I enjoy dark, thriller dramas too, but sometimes you want to enjoy simple stories that are relatable and thoughtful...and don't have someone out to ruin someone else. This well-written script had the perfect balance of sweetness and sassiness that either made you laugh out loud or say ahh or bring you tears. Hence, I don't need to do a deep dive on the story or characters. All I want to say is if you want to laugh, cry, and smile then this is the show for you. I will definitely keep an eye for other dramas that the screenwriter has written.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

One of a kind drama
This drama has been exercising my face every episode! From smiling too much. pouting my mouth, laughing my mouth widely, and crying too much. This drama has been a roller coaster, every episode has been worth my time. The drama made me feel good about myself as some of the characters has the same situation as me and it comforted as I have no one to comfort myself with. I'm very thankful that this drama existed cause I think my life wouldn't be complete without it. As for the acting, they are superb. Their acting really got me as if it happened naturally. The scenery was just perfect, the sea, the markets, house everything was just memorable and calming. The plot is just incredible, it was perfectly aligned, rich, healing at the same time. I hope I could watch this for the first time again. I think this has to be one of the best drama ever made.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Worth watching as light hearted simple drama.
It's been so long since I have seen a Rom Com without too many cliche scenes. The drama is so simple, it doesn't have any dramatic thing like twists, secrets kind of things. So unless you are the kind of person who loves intense drama, you will like Hometown Cha Cha Cha.Some people say it is a predictable story and I 100% agree with that. But does it mean will it bore, I would say it doesn't.
The only two things I have to complain about this drama is certain times I felt the pace could be a little faster, but still the pace didn't bored me at all. And also Du shik sad past, I felt the writers could have done it much better. I felt the writers took a safe route in that writing.
The best thing about this drama personally would be Shin min ah role, she was immature in beginning, but the way her character grown and handled certain situations is incredible. And also this drama doesn't have any stupid love triangle at all.
Overall it is a good drama.

Slice of Life in Small South Korean Village - heart warming romance
10/10 is my rating. This is a 2021 South Korean Romantic Comedy with 16, 60 minute episodes.Alternatively known as Seaside Village Cha Cha, Seashore Village Cha Cha and Fishing Village Cha Cha.Yoon Hye-jin's (Shin Min-a) life takes an unexpected turn when she decides to stand up to her employer for overcharging their dental patients. After outing her employer on social media she find she has been blacklisted in the Seou
l dental community and decides to take a trip to Gongjin, a coastal town where she had found memories as a child. Once there fate seems to step in to keep her there as she loses access to her money and her car suffers mechanical difficulties. A city girl with little skill for country life she finds she has to ask the go to guy of the village, Du-sik, for favor after favor. Hong Du-sik (Kim Seon-ho) is not only the top bachelor in the village but also an indespensible member of the village community. If it needs solved Du-sik can likely solve it, and if it is broken he is most likely to fix it. One thing the village lacks is a dental office and Hye-jin is a dentist that needs some work. Not only does fate decide to continually throw Hye-jin and Du-sik together but it also has landed her in a town in need of her skills. Will this sleepy seaside village be that little something in Hye-jin's life she didn't even realize she was missing? Is there a future for these two very different souls that fate has thrown together?
I rarely find a drama near perfect. There are just so many out there and always aspects that could use improvement. But I have to say, on this one, it is near perfect. I liked how the characters were complex and showed good character growth. The various stories of the people in the town kept it interesting. The romance was very heart warming. They are both amazing actors and had good chemistry. I did not feel too bad for the second lead even though I liked him a lot. It ended well and was neither too drawn out nor lacked in completing the story. The one very minor thing I was not a huge fan of was the romance with the 2nd guy and his writer. She was just a very flat, and I felt, somewhat cold, character. I could not get behind their connection as she seemed like someone that was not very compatible with him and all it seemed she did was nag at him a lot. It was clear she was jealous and a lot of her behavior was around her. If you want a feel good, slice of life in a small town, romance then this would definitely fit the bill.

like a breath of fresh air
It was just fantastic. You say chemistry,ost,location,story everything was so beautiful. The most amazing quality was it felt warm and was heart touching. It would touch your heart like a lil peck and you would be surprised to feel the warmth and sudden surge of emotions.I loved the acting neither of the cast lacked in that area. The scenery, the ocean, the house, the supermarket,restaurant,clinic ..their little house and especially the bormance...everything was perfect.
Our sikhye couple nailed it. I am glad the divorced couple could resolve their misunderstanding and the guy realised his mistakes. I was surprised when they showed a lil bit of queer community. Our second couple was also so cute.
The halmonis', the owner of shops and bars...everybody was great...and ofc my special love ji pdnim??♀️

Un superbe drama roudoudou
Quelle jolie surprise ce drama. Qui n'aime pas se pelotonner dans un plaid avec un bon chocolat chaud devant un bon drama ? Et bien c'est exactement l'effet que m'a fait "Hometown cha cha cha".Tranches de vies, personnalités uniques dans un village de pêcheur : La réalisation est belle, la cinématographie aussi.
Les deux acteurs principaux ont des philosophies de vie complètement différentes mais arrivent à évoluer, et à finalement se compléter. Leur alchimie est présente, et touchante.
Les acteurs secondaires sont tous attachants avec leurs défauts comme leurs qualités. Ils sont chacun des traits de caractère bien différents, mais tous à s'entraider, et à se soutenir.
Bref, on passe un magnifique moment dans la vie de chacun, un vrai drama cocooning qui fait trop du bien.

Two less lonely people in the world
Hometown Cha Cha Cha (2021)Likes
1. Loved watching the villagers live a simple life in Gongjin with the beautiful scenery and yummy food.
2. Hyejin and Dusik's rollercoaster romance, and how they supported and healed each other, although their sweet moments were OTP cringey.
3. Euncheol and Misun's relationship was low key and adorable, i loved them (sometimes more than the main couple). And i got it right, Euncheol was the mystery lotto winner ?
4. Another fave character is Hwajeong. I cried for her when we found out why she divorced her husband. I'm happy they got back together, just wished they showed more sweetness and more groveling from the husband to make up for the 15 years he treated her bad.
5. Of course Hyejin and Misun's friendship, Misun following her friend to the seaside, though still cant get over Hyejin leaving Misun in Seoul after planning an overnight girls night out to go back to Dusik!!
6. Seunghyun is another fave character, though I didnt think he really had to end up with his writer - they could have continued being partners producing great shows without the romance (or maybe they could have gotten someone prettier to match him *sorry*)
7. Gamri ? whenever i see this actress, im scared that she will die by the end of the show or not.
8. Lalalalalalalalala...romantic sunday ??? will forever be embedded in everyone's minds
Dislikes
1. I didn't like the first few episodes because I thought the villagers were all rude (esp Dusik) and always made Hyejin feel like she was a horrible person. And the nosy Namsook. There's no excuse for gossiping about other people.
2. The middle part felt too long and boring, i was sometimes half watching half using twitter. But i didnt fast forward any scenes.
3. The too many coincidences. From Hyejin and Dusik meeting 4x, Dusik's trauma is connected to Seunghyun and his assistant's family all felt convenient.
Rating: 8.5/10 (because i liked the ending despite the flaws and this was the perfect weekend watch)

I liked it but at the same time...
Ok im gonna start with what I do like. I liked the whole concept a lot and the fact that is is lighthearted and centered around community. I think that the main leads had so much chemistry and they were so cute!Also the music in this was just amazing and perfectly fit the retro modern vibe that the show has.
I enjoyed some of the side plots a lot, and it relayed important things such as rekindling marriage and growing up as a teenager.
When I mention the stuff I don't like, I don't want people to be detered from the show completely, I would say give it a try and you might enjoy it but you might not it just depends.
I think that the beginning was really slow and painful. The main lead decided that she didn't want love and that whole idea goes on forever and she kinda gets annoying when you're waiting for her to open up.
Also when she told the male lead that she wanted a break in the relationship, she was so pushy about it for some reason? Always telling him that they're on a break when he's legit just doing his job looking after the town?
I think in general the relationship kinda just came out of the blue? Like all the sudden they just decided to like each other? That progression was really random and it felt like such an extreme jump.
Was it the best drama I've ever watched? No.
Did I still enjoy it? Yes.
It's really not a bad drama but I wouldn't go into it expecting for it to be a masterpiece, just be aware of its flaws. Truly I think its very whitty and cute and deserves to be watched at least once.

Lar é onde o coração está
Histórias em cidades pequenas são sempre bem gostosas de se acompanhar, e esse drama não fugiu à regra! Os personagens, sejam eles protagonistas como secundários, cativam tanto! Além do amadurecimento que alguns passam e outros temas abordados no decorrer da trama. Tudo muito certeiro e dosado, com iguais doses de emoção, risadas, suspiros e reviravoltas, com chave de ouro para aalgumas lições e reflexões também. Só não foi 10 estrelas pra mim porque um ou outro ep foram mais monótonos, mas não tira o mérito de todo dos vários momentos incríveis. Um drama ideal pra maratonar em família inclusive.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
um dos melhores doramas que eu já vi !
para quem gosta de comedias românticas ou que gosta daqueles gêneros "enemies to lovers" ou principalmente terem se conhecido na infância, eu recomendo esse! é um dos meus primeiros doramas mas eu NUNCA vou parar de falar o quão bom ele é. a minah e o seonho foram protagonistas perfeitos. melhor comédia romântica que eu já vi. o dorama também é relaxante e tem uma boa vibe, por favor assistam e deem muito amor a eles?? todo o elenco merece todo amor existente, eles são uns amores também!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
