Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

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!

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.

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 :)

The first thing that struck me about this show is that each character is independent, mostly self aware (of course there is room to grow) and making course correcting choices for a work/ mental health balance. Our leading female, Hye-jin is self-driven, stubborn, and self-accomplished. Our leading male, Du-sik, is a savant jack of all trades choosing to live a simple small town life filled with meaningful relationships vs a profitable city career. The episodes are still being released so there is more to unravel, and of course a love triangle, but this show is filled with tender moments, hearty laughs, and a harrowing sorrow for what is beyond our control.

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.
