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

a balm to the soul

This charming show about two dimpled sweethearts dancing around their growing feelings for one another in an adorable seaside town is literally the best medicine ever invented to cope with our stressful lives. The supporting characters are fully-realized people, and I was invested in all of their lives from the first episode. I watch most of the show with a huge grin on my face, and finish each episode happier than I was when I started (though things are starting to take an angsty turn now that we're at episode 6).

The only thing I don't like about the show is only two episodes come out per week. Waiting is torture. I want to inject all of it directly into my veins right this second.

Clássico

Irá se tornar um clássico da dramaland, com toda certeza.

Uma comédia romântica fofa e leve, que não deixa nada a desejar. O famoso clichê de garoto do interior e garota da cidade grande, o que só torna o drama mais legal de se assistir. Além de que é, muito bom mesmo, assistir a evolução da personagem principal.

Gostei de forma como trataram a culpa como um problema psicológico sério, que se pode tratar com acompanhamento médico. Foi muito bom ver eles abordando esse assunto.

E a representatividade para a comunidade LGTBQ+? Eu adorei ver isso, ainda mais vindo de um país tão conservador. Mesmo que não tenha sido nada EXPLÍCITO, tipo, para você perceber de cara, eles trataram o assunto de forma agradável. Parabéns, aos escritores e diretores!

(Muitas pessoas depois de toda a polêmica do ator, deixaram de assistir o drama ou ao menos começaram a assistir. Mas, estou aqui pra falar que desistir de assistir esse drama por causa disso é compreensível, mas, você perderia q oportunidade de assistir um drama incrível e acompanhar outros atores maravilhosos que não tem nada a ver com isso.

Eu mesma, assisti depois de toda polêmica e cancelamento e posso dizer que não me arrependendo. Querendo ou não, ele é um bom ator que soube desempenhar um ótimo papel assim como todos os outros do elenco.)

E não posso esquecer dos dois casais secundários que aqueceram meu coração de um modo... O policial fofinho e secretária estão me fazendo pedir um spin off deles, de tão fofos que eles são.

OST e cinematográfia incrivelmente perfeitas. Me deu uma vontade enorme de visitar a cidade, com certeza o turismo para a cidade vai aumentar bastante lá na Coreia.

Lembrem-se que se vocês forem parar de assistir todos os doramas de atores que já foram ou são problemáticos, não irão quase assistir doramas.

Não é passar pano, por que eu mesma parei de acompanhar meu ator preferido desde que comecei a assistir doramas por causa de atos que não achei certo, mas nunca deixei de assistir os doramas que ele fez por que são MUITO BONS. São clássicos que provavelmente todos aqui assistiram.

Então se tiver com duvida sobre esse drama, assista. Você vai se divertir e saber apreciar o quão bom ele é, diferenciando personagem e pessoa real.

Aproveitem!

Hype for what ???

Honestly, I have dropped this series, not that it's bad, but it's just so slow phased. The storyline is somewhat normal for me. There was nothing much to expect from this series, but the scenes, and the way the series was shot, the casting, and all were good. But at the end, I had to drag myself to watch this series even till ep 6 and then eventually I had to give up. Normally romance genre are hard for me to watch bcoz the story line is normally repeated with a twist here and there. With the given hype thought of watching it and then I got disappointed. It's just not my cup of tea. But if you are someone who loves romantic genre you may like it.

Let's live, Let's Love and hope you enjoy your time by doing what you love 🫶

Best way to fall a sleep

From the start I had high expectations for this drama but as time went by it felt bland and boring like episode 6 when there was an event in the village, it felt very cringy when they were forced to go up on stage and dance. I thought this was an exciting drama when I wanted to start this drama but it seemed like my expectations were too high, I yawned a lot and was sleepy in several episodes. I don't know why overhyped dramas are always boring, unlike dramas with ratings that aren't too high, which are usually more exciting and promising. this drama could be a good introduction/sleep medicine lmao.

Fresh story line, but extremely annoying and childish female lead

Since seeing the poster and the name of this new drama I got very interested. The title is pretty original and meaningful - it reminds of the funny dialog the two main leads had.
The first episode succed to get me into it. The retrospection after it, showing how Yoon Hye Jin got into this place and mess with the villagers was also prosecuted well. I didn't liked the 5th episode though. It was exactly copy-paste of the 1th one. The writer could have done better, same as the drama director. A cool effect going back in the 1th episode, without going again through all we've already watched could've been better, but still I can understand that maybe they wanted to continue the story line more natural so they did it this way.
In the episode 6 I got very disappointed though by the acting of the main female lead - Yoon Hye Jin. I'm not referring to her actual drama acting, but the character she is portraying.
By the story we got introduced in the begging, Yoon Hye Jin is mature, strong woman that went through quite a lot during her life. She was acting pretty ignorant and cold, but still was trying to be polite and hold herself back on some terms.
Of course after getting close to Hong Du-Sik she opend herself little to the people living in the village and to him, BUT I just can't understand how she got in episode 6. For me it was such a turn point. I dont understand why the writter decided to portray the main female lead so childish and unreasonable. Getting so petty over something that happened when you were drunk and showing that so passively aggressive on many ocassions in the presense of the other villagers doesn't suit a woman at that age, with this kind of profession and past. I couldn't help but compare her with the teenage daughter of Mr. Oh Chun-Jae. Both of them were in a way on the same level of immaturness.
I understand that she is still young at heart and we witness many sences where Yoon Hye Jin got emotional and cried, but still I personally can't handle such a mindset and behavior. It might be just my rational view and taste.
The main male lead on other hand - Kim Sun-Ho (playing Hong Du-Sik) is doing his job pretty well. I like his character. He is still pretty mysterious, but I can't help, but to fall for his sence of humor and straightforwardness. I'm looking forward when we will get the chance to watch his story and what he is actually coping with silently.
The person whom I was so happy to see in this drama was Kim Young-Ok. I loved her in all her previous dramas, I love her here too. She is portraying such a lovely old lady, who unfortunately carries her emotional luggage too - her bad relationship with her son. But the author compensated her in a way making Hong Du-Sik so kind and attached to her. Their interactions together are always bringing smile to my face and warm sensation to my heart.
All of the villagers are having their own story and a past that still is hunting them. I'm happy that the writer and the director are giving them fair screen time so by watching them grow and heal, the viewer can experience the cathartic feeling too.
Its refreshing when they switch from one hard scene to another light and bright one.

Overall the plot is good, I do like it so I'm not gonna stop supporting the drama and I'm goint to keep watching it.
I'm still hoping that it will grow more one me by the time when the rest of the episodes will be released. Same as Shin Min-A's character.

Para passar o tempo

Quero começar dizendo o seguinte , o drama é legal não é ruim mas não é isso tudo que estão falando, pra mim seria o melhor drama da minha vida ,inesquecível de tanto que as pessoas elogiam, porém não vi nada de mais nessa trama. Eu devo ser de outro mundo por achar isso mas é a minha humilde opinião.

Eu gostei de muitas coisas, como a fotografia que era perfeita , ost boa, personagens secundários ótimos, o enredo que tinha tudo para dar certo e deu até certo momento.

Sinceramente eu fiquei empolgada e conectada com a história nos primeiros 10 episódios, me divertia muito com os protagonistas até aí, depois foi só ladeira a baixo para mim , achei depois que os protagonistas ficaram juntos faltou um pouco de química, não me convenceu , do nada aquela paixão súbita e eu não vi motivos para isso, ficava me perguntando quando que essa paixao rolou gente. faltou também aprofundar mais na história do protagonista, foi descoberto o seu segredo tão rápido e resolvido tão rápido que nem deu tempo de digerir, achei corrido pois tinha tempo para isso, teve episódios que achei pura enrolação.

Tenho que agradecer também aos personagens secundários que ajudaram muito no desenvolver desse drama, cada com sua história e foi lindo de assistir e entender seus problemas conforme ia passando os episódios. Gente como eu amava a história do policial com sua namorada , achei muito fofo torcia para eles demais. Acho que sem eles seria puxado de assistir.

Protagonista Feminina no geral gostei dela, determinada, inteligente , independente , gentil as vezes achava ela irritante e bem infantil não condizia com sua idade porem ninguém é perfeito né , e para mim ela teve mais pontos positivos do que negativos. Mas eu tinha que destacar esses pontos negativos dela.

Protagonista Masculino era fofo, aquele clichê que a gente adora bonito ,inteligente, gentil, charmoso e assim vai. Gostei dele ele era fofo, queria que tivesse mais tempo para explorar sua história, uma pena que não aconteceu.

Em fim achei um drama bem mais ou menos ,bom para passar o tempo eu diria , não vi nenhum romance arrebatador em momento nenhum como todos dizem, mais sim um drama bem levinho, com o romance fraquinho, e alguns momentos interessantes.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is a refreshingly feel good series.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is a refreshingly feel good series. Maybe it's still too early to say since I've just watched four episodes out of sixteen but this gives me a feel good vibe that helps me clear my head away from the chaotic new normal we have now. The way things are going on, it's very refreshing to go away and take a break but it still impossible to do that, good thing that the setting of this light drama with a sweet comedy is a seaside village with a panoramic view. I could only imagine the breeze brushing off all my worries and pains!

As expected the dimpled duo has a perfect chemistry on screen, Kim Seon-ho still carries his good boy charm (remnants of Start-up) plus a silly child-like but cute beam (reminds me of Waikiki 2) whenever he watches Shin Min A from afar. The way he smiles when he looks at Hye Jin from afar makes me feel tiny pinches inside my chest. Hye Jin's character is a fussy city girl who really needs a character redevelopment and let us just watch how the Jack-of-all-trades Du-sik is going to help her repair her flaws. The village peeps also reminds me of the quirky gang of "corn salad" Vincenzo of how they unite and stay loyal to their peers which was shown when someone from their village has been through an "accidental" ego attack.

This drama is like a seafood platter with a variety of flavor. Can't wait for the next episode.

Make the time to watch it - it's worth it

My only regret with HCCC is that I didn't see it when it was broadcast live. It's healing theme, especially during the pandemic would have been more therapeutic than any medication offered.

This show has everything a viewer could want - Terrific cast; Great chemistry between all characters; Well-developed supporting cast characters who blend into the story seamlessly; great visuals; believable story-line, etc...
Our leads really play well off each other and their wariness of their feelings was so realistic and well depicted. She is a handful, and quite the opposite of him, something they both acknowledged. And his issues and baggage did not bring the story down but created the challenges for her to respond to.
I'm sure this theme has been done before, and will be in the future (Welcome to Samdal-ri?) but I can't imagine another show doing it better.

Rewatchable? HELL, YES!

Thanks TvN & Netflix for giving us such a beautiful and funny story.

I can't stop thinking about this story!

The chemistry between the two lead roles in this romantic comedy show is truly remarkable. Their on-screen connection feels so genuine and effortless, which adds an extra layer of charm and believability to their characters' relationship. The way they play off each other's energy is beautiful.
The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking! It seamlessly blends with the narrative, enhancing the storytelling without overpowering it.
Each and every supporting role is fantastic! Whether it's through their playful banter, heartfelt moments, or even their comedic timing, their chemistry shines through in every scene. An absolute must watch!

Hometown Cha Cha Cha é um drama gostosinho de assistir, pois apesar das questões mais "pesadas" como saúde mental e luto são tratadas com leveza, além de trazerem uma mensagem positiva sobre como viver a vida.

Hye Ji é uma dentista, aparentemente fútil, mas com grande senso de justiça. Após entrar em conflito com sua chefe e enfrentar dificuldades de se recolocar profissionalmente em Seul, ela decide fazer uma viagem a Gongjin onde enfrenta algumas dificuldades, mas encontra um homem incomum, Doo Shik, que a ajuda a solucionar seu problema momentâneo de dinheiro. Eventualmente ela acaba decidindo abrir um consultório dentário na cidade e com o passar do tempo a relação dela com Doo Shik evolui de antipatia mútua para amor.

Doo Shik, por sua vez, voltou a Gongjin há alguns anos após um trauma e muitas perdas. Por trás de seus mil certificados de faz-tudo e sorriso de covinha, ele esconde muito sofrimento. Mas graças a Hey Ji as coisas vão ficando mais fáceis para ele.

Acompanhar os dois personagens se apaixonando bem como os moradores fofoqueiros e queridos da cidade é muito divertido. Aliás, as histórias dos personagens secundários também são muito interessantes de acompanhar. Você vai se apegando a cada um dos moradores e suas histórias individuais a ponto de se emocionar com eles. Um drama muito charmoso com um trilha sonoro apaixonante. Recomendo.
