Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

A disillusioned city girl heads to the seaside and meets up with a local popular character who she clashes with initially but over time they come together but he has issues from his past that could tear them apart. A great cast with superb performances and side stories make each episode enjoyable. Anything with Shin Min-a in is always watchable because she plays an adorable love interest like no other. The chemistry with her co stars is always believable and in this series Kim Seon-ho as her partner puts in a sterling performance.

This is probably my most anticipated kdrama of the year and I am glad to say that I enjoyed every second of it. I usually stay away from romcoms because they tend to have the same formula but homecha is different from the rest.

Yes, there was romance and there was comedy, but there were more layers and depths to it; the complexities and simplicity of different types of relationships (romantic, platonic, familial, friendships, etc), the sense of belonging in a community, living life the way you want to, grief and guilt, etc. I smiled, laughed and even cried while watching this.

And I love the found family trope in this show, it was so heartwarming how everyone became a huge family and supported each other. The cast was incredible, and thanks to the great writing, they brought so much life and variety to the show. On that note, I have to mention that Kim Seonho and Shin Min-a have amazing chemistry and honestly, the person who casted them deserves a raise. This show is a gem and kudos to the entire team that worked on it because they created something that touched many people's hearts.

It's impossible not to fall in love with the character of Hong Du Sik. He is a total Renaissance man: capable, accomplished, considerate, humorous, athletic, and very good looking.

While the characters seem at first glance to follow a standard construct, I am anticipating that the story arc will continue to be intelligent, as it is touching on a number of contemporary issues to do with prejudice and assumptions. The writer seems to have developed considerable back stories and subtext for the majority of the characters, although we are not yet privy to all of them (as of episode four).

I'll edit and update as the season progresses.

This drama is so fresh.it's so lightweight and gives the right amount of butterflies we need.i know it's early to say this but this drama has healed me.i needed this.this made me feel so loved and comforted.the acting was amazing.cinematography is absolutely stunning.peaceful and aesthetic.so far i'm loving this drama.

Short story:- It got me hooked from the very first episode.

Long story:- I am someone who have watched plenty of Kdramas in the past and so my standard is pretty high for rating a show as positive. Any show which gets me attached and hooked from early on is straight away deserves 10 stars.

Lately at the time of writing there is so much negativity and depressing stuff going on in the world and in our life, i was looking for show which can bring smile on my face after hard day at work. I started few Kdramas on Netflix before this and was struggling to find a decent show.

About this show, first of all it is believable, the story I mean. It's so simple yet so beautifully crafted. It's relaxing and doesn't stray away from the story much. The rural setting makes you wanna retire to some place like this in your future. The setting of the town is picturesque and full of colours. Both the lead characters are cute looking and instantly lovable. At times, the show will teach you valuable life lessons also. The romance and chemistry between the two characters are pure and angelic. You know they are made for each other.

This is so far my analysis of the show after watching the first few episodes of it. Can't wait how the rest of the story will unfold. So interesting.
