Hometown Cha Cha Cha is a refreshingly feel good series. Maybe it's still too early to say since I've just watched four episodes out of sixteen but this gives me a feel good vibe that helps me clear my head away from the chaotic new normal we have now. The way things are going on, it's very refreshing to go away and take a break but it still impossible to do that, good thing that the setting of this light drama with a sweet comedy is a seaside village with a panoramic view. I could only imagine the breeze brushing off all my worries and pains!As expected the dimpled duo has a perfect chemistry on screen, Kim Seon-ho still carries his good boy charm (remnants of Start-up) plus a silly child-like but cute beam (reminds me of Waikiki 2) whenever he watches Shin Min A from afar. The way he smiles when he looks at Hye Jin from afar makes me feel tiny pinches inside my chest. Hye Jin's character is a fussy city girl who really needs a character redevelopment and let us just watch how the Jack-of-all-trades Du-sik is going to help her repair her flaws. The village peeps also reminds me of the quirky gang of "corn salad" Vincenzo of how they unite and stay loyal to their peers which was shown when someone from their village has been through an "accidental" ego attack.
This drama is like a seafood platter with a variety of flavor. Can't wait for the next episode.

Make the time to watch it - it's worth it
My only regret with HCCC is that I didn't see it when it was broadcast live. It's healing theme, especially during the pandemic would have been more therapeutic than any medication offered.This show has everything a viewer could want - Terrific cast; Great chemistry between all characters; Well-developed supporting cast characters who blend into the story seamlessly; great visuals; believable story-line, etc...
Our leads really play well off each other and their wariness of their feelings was so realistic and well depicted. She is a handful, and quite the opposite of him, something they both acknowledged. And his issues and baggage did not bring the story down but created the challenges for her to respond to.
I'm sure this theme has been done before, and will be in the future (Welcome to Samdal-ri?) but I can't imagine another show doing it better.
Rewatchable? HELL, YES!
Thanks TvN & Netflix for giving us such a beautiful and funny story.

I can't stop thinking about this story!
The chemistry between the two lead roles in this romantic comedy show is truly remarkable. Their on-screen connection feels so genuine and effortless, which adds an extra layer of charm and believability to their characters' relationship. The way they play off each other's energy is beautiful.The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking! It seamlessly blends with the narrative, enhancing the storytelling without overpowering it.
Each and every supporting role is fantastic! Whether it's through their playful banter, heartfelt moments, or even their comedic timing, their chemistry shines through in every scene. An absolute must watch!

I loved everything.
The main leads were AWESOME.
ESPECIALLY Kim Seon-how's acting. He done the job perfectly. I felt everything, his character hit me so deep, simply he became one of my all time favorite actors. I will watch everything he's in.
Believe me when I say you will not regret if you chose to watch this drama, it delivers everything from romance to comedy to some darker tones, I don't wanna spoil but believe me it is so satisfying. And the other characters are well developed, at the beginning I didn't like them but through the show I grew to love them. Everything was perfect.

I CANT DESCRIBE THE PERFECTION
There are some times when I don't want to think alot while watching a drama, thinking about theories, watching dramatic conflict, or the puzzles we have to solve in a drama. This drama is an option for people who are in this phase. Located in a very beautiful place with ocean scenery, this drama really refresh my eyes and the warmth of Hong Dusik. This serial also has moral and life values through the sayings of the elderlies who also take part in the story. Romance and comedy blended so well in this. This would be a good option to watch and I won't be bored to rewatch this.Was this review helpful to you?

Oh Man How Deserving This Hype Is
Some people are soooo bitter about Hometown Cha Cha Cha mann. And then there's me who has only seen 1 episode so far but knows it will be a 9 or a 10, lol. Apparently there's no interesting plot or compelling characters, meh romance, no villain, tooo many episodes so too long (which I absolutely don't agree with).*me talking to my friends about it since they've en it as well and are wondering how I avoided spoilers* I have avoided spoilers for it really well. I only know there's something about a baby/kid and a wedding. Why does this sound like his "scandal" that was fake (JUSTICE FOR THIS PRECIOUS PUPPY).
I am just gonna binge watch some cha cha cha to cure my youth of May depression.
Hometown cha cha cha is sooooo cute. Instant serotonin.
I'm now at episode 5 and this is just pure happiness.
Apparently dramas set in small towns are my shit because I'm like loving the shit out of this and it's like the 3rd or 4th show I've seen that takes in a small village that I'm loving. It's sooo healing.
I dunno if it's just me BUT OMG WHY DOES SHE KEEP WEARING SUCH HORRIBLE UGLY OUTFITS IN CHA CHA CHA!!! WHO ARE THOSE STYLISTS!?!? AND HOW CAN I FIRE THEM!! HOW CAN HER OUTFITS EVEN GET WORSE?
OMG NOOOOOOOOO!! You don't scream or run at your oppa like that. Ju-ri why u screaming at your kpop idol like that. Whaeeeee..... I feel so bad for idols or any artist who receives treatment like that. Looool if I would meet famous people like that randomly and loooove them I probably would say or do nothing at all. He was sooo kind though.
I still hate our female lead's outfits. Don't even get me started on the make up.
Lowkey funny how two of my friends who don't watch dramas as vigorously as me, have seen it before me.
The dimple couple is toooo freaking cute.
That moment that I'm even fluent enough in Korean to know when Netflix mistranslates some stuff.
Poor chief hong crying ): If his backstory will be even more sadder then I'll be even more sadder than sad.
I'm also sad. NOBODY IS ALLOWING ME TO BINGE WATCH HOMETOWN CHA CHA CHA LIKE I WANT TO ):
Nooooooooo why does baby say everyone he loves dies and that it is because of him? Chief hong is tooo precious. My poor baby.
I'm dyinggg :') Chief hong is right though. If you don't read a lot of poetry or just reading in general, poems are the way to bore people into Falling asleep.
I DOOOOOOOOOOOON'T LIKE HOW THEY MADE THE SECOND MALE LEAD SOOO GOOD AS WELL.
Why are the two best friends such soulmates. Their love for each other is just uwu. Best sismance ever.
I'm dying :') our main girl forgetting to unplug her hair curler reminds me of my sister when she still lived at home. I literally have gotten THOUSAND OR MORE texts from her asking me to check if she unplugged her hair straightener :') This is too relatable. IT IS EVEN FUNNIER THAT IT WAS UNPLUGGED, which was always the case with my sister as well.
SHE CONFESSED FIRST O.O
I'M SLOWER THAN I WOULD LIKE TO BE! I'm only at episode 11 and I almost cried but gotta continue and finish it tomorrow because lucky is like WOMAN I WANT TO GO TO BED!
I didn't love episode 11 as much as the others since it kind of annoyed me how our girl always hit chief hong when she thought someone almost noticed them being all lovey dovey.
Uwu uwu Emma is almost crying. Why are they so fucking cute? Why is my dimple couple so fucking precious as well. My heart is melting.
They did not have to do us sooo dirty with the last ep. That was such a rollercoaster. It was soooo emotional, like so emotional. I wasn't expecting to be so emo.
Also looooool 2021 kdramas is apparently all about dem gay female side characters. It's like the third or fourth mainstream drama of this year that had a gay woman as a side character(s) and stated it (I definitely suspected she was not straight). It honestly was one of the most diverse years of kdramas imo.

My favourite drama (and most likely show in general ) of all time
Hometown Cha-cha-cha was truly amazing. It's the closest thing to perfection I have ever seen. The story was impeccably told and the writers and producers did an amazing job of bringing the story to life. Never have I gone through so many emotions in one show. You end up falling in love with pretty much every member of the main cast and the entire story itself. The show managed to avoid many of the sometimes frustrating tropes associated with many dramas. I just finished the series and I would watch it multiple times over in a heartbeat. Truly a must-watch for everyone and my favourite drama (and honestly, show) of all time.Was this review helpful to you?

Come for the laughs and stay for the chemistry.
Both the actor and actress were perfectlycasted for this show. The chemistry between Seon Ho and Shin Min Ah is great. The back n forth between the two makes for some good dialogue. Defintely something you want to
watch if you want to smile. If you are looking for something light hearted with some good laughs. I highly recommend that you watch this show. Especially if you are looking for that feel good romantic comedy of the summer. I can't begin to say enough good things about this show. I know it is still early on but this show is everyrhing it was promoted to be.

Reminds me again of CLOY :)
Highly recommended watch!! It’s got people from all ages- grandmas conversations, town gossip, the divorced couple, the nosy and loud lady, the retired musician/ single father, the pregnant lady and “no-good” husband, the kids... and then you have Hong Du-shik <3<3<3He is such a dream!!! Kim Seon-Ho played his character extremely well!! With his Okay! Cool and Thankiew!!! So adorable ;);) His smile and his dimples will just melt your heart. His chemistry with Shin Min-Ah is off the charts! I know she already has a bf, but on set they look so comfortable and cute together :) Relationship development was done so right! (Spoiler: and I just loved the proposal scene!!! Soooo cute!) Love triangle was also done well and the bromance between the two gentlemen was friendship goals.
I admit I did skip some of the town gossip lol... it was just a tad blah blah... too loud and too naggy hahaha. Towards the end you will have your typical Kdrama cliches- the past is revealed, lots of crying moments, but the ending was done very well, nice closure to it. You will also see Cliche coincidences, just don’t mind it too much.
The one criticism I will give is Shin min-Ah’s dressing on set. It was horrible in my opinion! (Spoiler: especially the green dress she wore for Chief Hong’s birthday! WHAT WAS THAT??? For someone who can afford Dior and expensive shoes, please dress better!!) Most of her dresses looked like grandma’s table cloth (sorry!!!)
A wonderful, feel- good rom-com!! I laughed a lot, cried a lot, and replayed the romance scenes a lot! :) :) :) GO WATCH IT NOW!!

Solid half light drama!
Hmmm my feelings towards this drama...I think the cast is actually amazing. There some actors that I wouldn't imagine playing this kind of light funny characters as they usually play these heavy bad guy roles. But the show started out pretty slow, it felt like it was a drag. But as the male lead and female lead meets, that's when it starts getting good, I'd say it starts getting good at around half through episode one.
In this drama, I have a hunch that this drama is going to teach us about the hardship we face but we must go on. Because although we lose things, we also gain new things and new experiences. We may struggle to adjust ourselves in environment but if we show kindness and perseverance, we will be able get along with anything. Although, I have another hunch that this will have some aspects of darkness to the story later in the episodes.
I'd say if you want a half light funny drama about overcoming things, this is for you.
