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.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
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!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
One of the best Kdramas out there!
I can't even put it in words how much I adorne this show! Watching it felt like a wonderful journey. Its about finding happiness though small things in life as well as a journey of self healing. it has great humor, such wonderful story telling, deep wonderful massages, such prestige acting and visuals. The show is sweet, Romantic, exiting, lively and just wholesome. The chemistry between FL and ML is to die for! Such a beautiful love story of two very different personalitys colliding with eachother and turning eachothers worlds upside down in all the good ways. This show will often remind you to love and appreciate the small things in your life and to always keep going even though it can be Tuff sometimes. This show is a absolute most watch for anyone who likes Romcoms. No matter if your a Kdrama veteran or just started with such dramas this show will devenetly be for you!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

O meu corpo passou de 70% de água a 35%
Só o facto de me ter feito chorar a cada episódio já quer dizer muito!O plot é previsível (também era impossível não o ser com a quantidade de kdramas que já vi) mas a paisagem era espetacular and I wish I was there!
Algumas notas:
- Kim Gam Ri (Kim Young Ok), personagem mais wholesome!;
- Para quem não quer chorar, não recomendo!;
- Para quem tem água para desperdiçar, revejam o penúltimo episódio 3 vezes.
(E eu que pensava que ia levar isto comigo de férias *facepalm*)

Es cómica, romántica pero tiene drama...
HistoriaEs romántica, entretenida, cómica. Me gusto mucho... Pero tiene drama. Ese drama que se anunció desde el principio pero para este tipo de historia no lo querías ni era necesario. Pero ahí estuvo y siento que solo fue porque tenían que hacer 16 episodios y bueno alargar la trama.
Para mí no hubo una transición homogénea entre la comedia romántica que fue y el drama que vino. Una historia más corta hubiera sido mejor, muchas situaciones relleno que sirvieron para cumplir con la cuota de capítulos. (Lo del parto lo sentí muy innecesario) pero de igual modo cerro bien las historias de todos los personajes bien y también los tres secretos del pueblo.
Actuación/elenco
Sus personajes, tanto protagonistas como secundarios tienen su encantó. Le daban vida al pueblo.
Musica
La música acompaño bien, no algo excepcionalmente memorable pero agradable.
Valor de repetición
Queda a decision de uno mismo. Fue una historia que comenzó bien, pero luego se sintió un poco aburrido. Y ese drama no ayudo. Más corta hubiera sido mejor.
Comentario especial: Se que los sponsors son importantes para ganar dinero para el k-drama. Pero adiós sutileza en el capítulo final (no es que hubiera mucha en los capítulos anteriores)

Healing.... Refreshing.... Loving.... Understanding
I really love this drama. Hometown Cha Cha Cha, is a drama that I wish I could watch first the first time again.Watching all of these characters has made my heart feel so warm. I've learned a lot of important lessons. This drama is one that I will never forget, one with its soft warm fluffiness that keeps you smiling until your cheeks hurt, that teaches you lessons about appreciating life, all the big and little things and about forgiving yourself. And most of all, despite everything, still try to live as happily as you can in the end.
I will miss looking forward to smiling, laughing and feeling fluffy inside every weekend. I'll miss the anticipation in waiting to figure out what will happen next. The ending couldn't have been more perfectly beautiful, but despite that, I will miss it, greatly. My soul was deeply touched by the characters, their stories, their struggles and most of all that despite each having their own battles, they stuck to each other so closely, constantly being a support for one another.
The bond that all the residents of this beautiful village by the sea have, is what I love most about this drama. I will forever carry the warm feelings they gave me in my heart. I too, have fallen in love with Gongjin.
A thank you to the wonderful and utterly talented cast, director, and all the other talented people who helped create this beautiful ride for so many to hop onto.
Without Hometown Cha Cha Cha, my weekends will feel a little empty now, I'm glad that out of the blue I clicked on that first episode. It's been a wonderful experience <3
I already missed hye jin and du sik and all characters

A beautiful story and A good Life Lesson
Like the most of the Kdrama It didn't get too much complicated and boring. Yeah there was some suspense and it was needed but it blended in with the story. Overall I loved this show for it's simplicity . I personally don't like too much melodrama or excessive romance but it will surely make you feel good. I liked all the characters but Gam-Ri(Kim Young Ok) she really changed the scene and managed to play her role . And for the KidJang Yi Jun(Ki Eun Yoo) .This kid Is something else. He really grabbed some attention with his acting .It teaches sometime you should just take the life easy and let it beVond je deze recentie nuttig?
