Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

This is Extra-ordinary. WELL this K-Drama is nothing different or new but felt EXTRAORDINARY because of more ordinary things , people and story.

Show setsup a world and stays true to that world. There are cliches, there are expected things happening but it seems very authentic because of the right presentation of characters and their story.

It doesn't confuse you much with lot of twists and bringing in unnecessary characters to keep the curiosity or make it forcefully interesting, At the same time it doesn't get bored, though its almost the same characters that you see in every episodes. Characters are presented in an authentic way and also showing their past playing a role in what they are today.

All actors have done their part well, but Best part is of course the acting between the leads - Ufff Sparks fly and they make us feel the chemistry is real but unlike some other Dramas there is no much overacting here.

Negatives - So far None , have finished watching 10 episodes. Will update my final review after the final episode.

If you are looking for a feel good rom com drama, then watch it for sure. Breeze of romance and goodness will definitely hit you with this show :)

EDIT: Now that we are nearly at the end, and as a viewer that has fully immersed myself in this drama right from the start to now (finished episode 15), I can say that this drama is definitely the second best series (after squid game) I've watched in 2021. I like dark dramas, and intense plotting, revenge against each other, weird monsters stuff, but every weekend exactly at 10pm, I find myself waiting impatiently for HTCCC to drop a new episode on Netflix, this is my perfect dose of relaxation. I don't know about cliche storylines or whatsoever, I'm watching because of the chemistry of the entire cast of this drama, the setting, how they are having fun on set. It was almost they were really living in Gongjin. I love how every single family in Gongjin has a story to tell, even right to the beautiful pre-school teacher. The stories were simple, but realistic. Eg, the pregnant store lady part, the little boy whose parents were divorced. I love to watch the two main leads going on their dates, so rarely we get to have 2 full episodes on lovey dovey scenes in k dramas, you know what's the real cliche for me? It's always when the two main leads going on lovey dates and then suddenly one of them sick or die or they just cannot be together. And it usually happen like 15 mins after they are happy. 🤣🤣 Like finally! We get to see my fav couple having a proper date too. Finally can I just say that the OST for this drama is PERFECT. My fav has got to be Here Always by Seungmin!

Sorry the other unhelpful review here has prompted me to start an account here to write a proper review of this drama. There was definitely more dialogue going on, so I'm not sure if that reviewer watched the right drama.

To start off, this drama has been touted to be a healing drama, and also finally we have Kim Seon Ho as a lead against Shin Min Ah, two dimples visuals here, so really, what's not to love?

The first episode started off light heartedly, and I thought it was a great introduction of the fishing village that will likely be the main setting for the rest of the drama, we have Chief Hong being a know-it-all, and also gave Hye-Jin whose likable personality should be a great hit in the village soon after. The cinematography and natural acting of the actors are great and also in this pandemic, after watching several "heavy" dramas from TVN, this is definitely a refreshing change and now I can't wait for the next episode to be out!

Laid back K-drama in beautiful seaside village that will make you laugh, cry and appreciate life as it happens. Dimple couple, Seon-ho & Min-ah opened up the series nicely with charming introduction and showed endearing chemistry through reasonable process.

Every Gongjin characters (from young to old) have purposes in their own stories, how to overcome challenges and let go of the past. Despite few dragging parts, Yoo Je-won gave enough time for them to grow on audience alongside soothing music and beautiful cinematography as well.

After watching first 2 episodes, i found this drama lightweight in storyline, heartwarming in storytelling, funny in between characters interaction. Plus, it's cinematic background just like I went to watch the place myself. 😍

No big events & so heavy topics up until now, so i think this drama can be a healing "me time" after a long exhausted working days. It suitable to watch together with family too. It's gonna be fun relating Gongjin Villagers's story to our life too.

For romance part, i think its like typical love story but maybe when the main leads start push & pull their real feelings, we will enjoying it more. Just like the drama title, i hope the drama will make my heart dance cha cha cha at every episode's ending.

P/s: their first ost is very catchy! They got me lallalalalala after both episode!

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.
