This drama will stay with you for a long time.

I started this drama without much expectations and in fact the first couple of episodes didn't provide me with the hook. But every week, it got better and better and today this is my favourite Romantic Comedy drama of all time, being the only drama I've ever rated 10/10.

Here's why you should watch Hometown Cha Cha Cha:

1. The characters and the acting
- Every character in this drama was loveable. Each had their flaws but we love them regardless of it because we know everyone wants the best for each other. I loved how the drama portrayed this so deeply in small scenes throughout the episodes. The casting and all actors were truly a perfect fit.

- But ultimately, BIG kudos goes to Kim Seon Ho, where I couldn't help but be magnitised by his character in every one of his scenes. His experience as a theatre actor clearly came through, and you could genuinely feel his emotions through it all. I think this is his best role yet, and I can't wait for his future works and continuing to support him in 2D1N!

2. The visuals
- The aesthetic of the drama was the most healing. The blue skies, seas, b-rolls of Pohang and the small details made Gongjin feel like the most heavenly seaside town. Being in lockdown this year, this drama has given me something to look forward to for the past 8 weeks and I couldn't be more grateful to feel myself being transported there. It also made me feel more grateful for the place I live in as well and look for these small moments that make the most out of what we do have.

3. The plot
- On the surface, the drama might feel simple with a slice of life storyline. But there's so much more to that. Every scene and little detail felt intentional as I rewatched the episodes. Cliches were shown in fresh ways. The themes of love, community, people - appreciating how the small things in life are actually what makes life worth living were perfectly portrayed.

- I also loved the tension and mysteries throughout the episodes that made going onto Twitter fun to see what theories people had.

- You will definitely be on a rollercoaster of emotions, but just let yourself feel it all, it'll be worth it!

Overall, I highly recommend you give this drama a try! Thank you to the Hometown Cha Cha Cha team for giving me a drama that I'll always remember fondly!!!
