Many holes in the plot

I don't get what the hype is with this drama. The ratings are so high that I thought I would enjoy it, but in reality, I don't understand it. It seems they are putting every stereotype of Korean romance dramas: parent health issues or death, main characters meeting when they were young, and I bet they have a connection to be revealed at the end. The male lead is cold to the female lead, doesn't care, and even bullies her. They go back and forth until they eventually become a couple. There's also an unrealistic supportive friend whose job is just to be there. If I can predict something more, it will be a gentle male character who cares for her, but like all Korean dramas, she is fixated on the male lead.

In episode 1, the main female lead quits her job because she is an honest, non-greedy person who cares a lot for others, to the point that she gets blocked from all jobs in the market. She moves to a village to open a clinic, becoming an arrogant person who thinks low of all people. In real life, any person would avoid her completely after she publicly shamed a retired singer without an on-the-spot apology, which confirms her bad character. Yet, the male lead helps her all the way to be forgiven by all the others.

The singer got depressed because of her harsh words, and she never bothered to apologize in the following days. When they met again after some time, he suddenly became the happiest person just because she told him she listened to his album and liked one song? He even quit smoking on the spot when she noticed the cigarette?!

The coincidences that happen one after another are so unrealistic that it gets boring. I feel the writer put them all just to justify her staying and starting a life there.

When the female lead came to visit the village, she was spotted by everyone as an outsider, interacted with them, and the male lead met her "by coincidence" many times. Yet, when her friend joined to live and work with her, I don't see her side story or any interaction or comments from people. No one paid attention to her. I realized this when it was cleaning day: all the villagers were up early to clean, and they were disappointed with the female lead because she was not there and dragged her to assist in cleaning. Her friend just got a free pass because no one cares or it doesn't add to the building love story between the main leads?!

In reality, if a man existed in the same situation and personality as the male lead, he would never be attracted to the female lead because several situations since she came to the village showed her disrespect to the dearest people in his life whom he loves and protects.

The only reason I will continue watching (though I'm like 90% quitting it) is because I am learning Korean and I need to improve my listening by watching Korean dramas.

heartwarming, light and fluttering

Finally the most awaited drama. The plot and the cast looks really promising. If you are in for something cute and light, definitely give this a shot. Everything looks very realistic and the funny scenes are just cherry on top. Humor of the ML is top tier and the dialogue delivery is so effortless by all the characters. I am rooting for our dimple couple!!!
The plot is simple but even in the starting episodes, it has firmly gripped the base. The ML was "Good Boy" in Start up and here every granny's boy. lol
The setup gave me when-camellia-blooms VIBES. I love himmm. His character is just so naturally bubbly and lovable ahhh.

Feels like a Hallmark movie. Not for me

I didn't really like how unnecessarily rude the Male Lead was to the Female Lead right from the start.

Also this show kind of seems like a Hallmark movie lol. Like: beautiful lady from the big city goes back to the small town she went to in her childhood and ends up falling in love - with a local man and with the town itself - so she decides to stay. Nothing wrong with that premise, of course, it's just not my favourite type of story, and I've seen it a million times in cheesy Hallmark films. :|

Perhaps I'll come back to this show at some point.

4000 W. are 2.80 E.

Unfortunately, I had to cancel the series. I may have been too hasty, but I don't like an artificial character like Hong Doo Shik, who is supposed to be an all-rounder and Everybodys Darling. He can do everything, knows everyone, everyone loves him! His dealings with the grannies are adorable.

He is not friendly to the stranger Yoon Hye Jin, he is brusque and unpleasantly unfriendly, an experience that strangers unfortunately make everywhere. But that compatriots are treated this way is questionable.
I cannot share the opinion of many critics here, who claim that the FL is arrogant. At least in the 1st episode, which I have watched, I have the impression that the FL is treated cheeky and insulting, while she behaves normal and only a little insecure.

Ridiculous the whole storyline because of the 4000 Won (ca.2.80 Euro). For this ridiculous sum she is accused of lying, harassed with insinuations, massively insulted and then dragged by the Hong hero for hours through the village ultimately to an unreasonable "work" position.
Here she earns with unfamiliar work, in which she was also not correctly instructed, converted ca.20.- €. She ruins her designer clothes in the presumed value of several 100 €. to pay her f**king debts.

These idyllic islanders are supposed to be simple, nice people. They only confirm the prejudice of provincial obduracy here. So, friends of the night, I'm out. If you like the series, go ahead, there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe the story will be better later.

Obnoxious female lead perfectly matches the Gary Sue male lead

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is overhyped and boring with leads who have zero chemistry. Watching them made my heart sink particularly the 34 yo female lead who was arrogant and devoid of a lick of common sense. Whoever wrote and cast this series must have gotten their break via nepotism because nothing about this story resonates at an emotional level. It's a shame the high ratings misled me into watching this slower-than-molasses series. Can honestly not recommend it to anyone.

(Synopsis: At a crossroads, a dentist moves to a seaside village where she meets a handyman intent on helping his neighbors.)

Docinho e Fácil de Assistir

Um típico drama bonitinho e fácil de assistir. Não esperava que a Coréia iria nos presentear com essa fofura de drama este ano (não assistia a um K-drama neste estilo há algum tempo).

A vibe do drama é toda vibrante, a fotografia é linda e o cenário muito bonito. Os personagens todos fazem sentido na história, ninguém está ali para preencher espaço. A trama é descomplicada e o casal muito lindinho.

Sem encheção de linguiça e longos desencontros este drama foi realmente muito bom de acompanhar. Sentirei falta de ver as covinhas de nosso querido Chefe Hong aos finais de semana :)

Se você procura algo descontraído, uma história simples e um casal fofo este drama não pode faltar em sua lista.

A dentista Hye Jin está farta das poucas oportunidades que tem em Seul, então quando viaja para Gonjin, um lugar paradisíaco que guarda muitas lembranças da sua falecida mãe, percebe que ali talvez seja um bom lugar para recomeçar a vida.

Com poucos habitantes e uma vista de dar inveja, Gonjin é aquele lugar amoroso em que todos estão ligados na vida um do outro, seja o dono da cafeteria ou o chefe distrital. Quando chega lá, totalmente perdida, a ajuda do Chefe Hong é muito mais do que bem-vinda para Hye Jin sair da sua zona de conforto.

A conexão de infância, adolescência e vida adulta entre eles foi o que me arrebatou. Sou uma amante fervorosa desse tipo de dinâmica, e o modo maravilhoso como foi mostrado, desenvolvido e relacionado dentro da história me deixou extasiada pela roteirista Shin Ha Eun.

Eu amo tramas em cidades pequenas, então fui completamente servida. Todos os personagens secundários tinham suas próprias vidas e problemas para resolver. De forma alguma foram apenas adereços ou usadas para me divertir, apesar de que muitas vezes esse também foi o caso. Não houve peças soltas.

Minha única ressalva fica para a falta de personalidade da Hye Jin, que em muitas vezes, foi apenas um adereço para ser o par do Doo Shik. Eu senti falta de mais madureza da parte dela, além de um desenvolvimento melhor para um passado que foi descartado como insignificante. Em muitas cenas, ela era apenas a menina fútil da cidade grande que precisava ser guiada para entender uma cidade pequena. Diferente da vida do mocinho que foi maravilhosamente relacionada quando precisou e atingiu o meu âmago com um passado envolvente.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha é um drama leve, realista e refrescante que mantem um ritmo ótimo do começo ao final com seus 16 episódios.

《海岸村恰恰恰》正在為韓劇的發展寫下新的新歷史

== 故事 ==

我並不是韓劇迷,也不是金宣虎的忠實粉絲,剛開始的時候,我並不知道有這一部周末連續劇,直到它的第一集開播之後,因為家人的關係,才知道有這一齣韓劇。

它改編自一部將近廿年前的韓國老電影。劇情故事大致的內容是一位都市牙醫離開原來的工作,來到鄉下自己開業,並與當地全能的「洪班長」之間的愛情故事。

用老瓶裝新酒來形容是錯誤的,它反而更像是陳年純釀的威士忌,充滿了層次,以及獨特的絕佳韻味,而這個韻味不光是獨一無二,並且有著迷人的餘韻。

原本預期,它故事內容也可以說是充滿了老梗和老套路,然而,這個印象很快就被顛覆。

第一、新鮮有趣

海岸村的故事內容有很多的地方被重新改寫,即便是對於已經看過電影原作的觀眾,仍然無法預期每一集的劇情將會是如何發展。

第二、沒有距離的真實感

在台灣,也有很多的漁村,有很美麗的風景,道地的當地人文風格,這就像是劇中的公辰港。

我們知道,海岸村的公辰港是一個虛擬的地方,它並不是真的存在。然而,在演出的細節,像是高速公路收費站的名稱,都透過特效,極盡可能的讓這個虛擬漁港變得真實,這樣的環境以及許多的細節,也都支撐了這部戲的故事。

綜合這些環節,對一位觀眾而言,所獲得到的,就是在每集約 80 分鐘的故事裡,能夠很放鬆的,且很信任地沉浸地讓自己沉浸在故事裡。

第三、豐富的故事線與節奏感

劇情的步調,意外地緊湊,不拖戲,配合豐富的故事線,讓這部分充滿節奏感,讓人格外享受。

第四、扣掉的一分

然而,這個故事,或許是礙於一些不知道的原因,其中有一、二條故事線被犧牲了,這個狀況,讓我扣掉這一分。

(本劇仍在進行中,也尚未完結,我對劇情故事仍有期待,全劇完結了以後,會再重新檢視並調整評分。)

== 演出表現/演員 ==

第一、選角

角色的選擇,尤其是女主角,可以說是本劇的靈魂。申敏兒與金宣虎的搭配,酒窩情侶,可說是韓劇之最。

第二、演出表現

演員的表現的確是可圈可點,無話可說。

第三、扣掉的一分

金宣虎真的太帥氣、太過陽光、無懈可擊的笑容,這些極為亮麗的演員風格,稍微蓋過了本劇的故事性。

我會期待的是,男主角會更加的粗曠,稍微要有點滄桑,該畫醜裝的時候,需要更到位。

== 音樂 ==

目前為止一共發行 7 首原聲帶,除了數量較少以外,無可挑剔,因此這個項目給 10 分。

== 重看的價值 ==

我並不是韓劇迷,也沒有收藏韓劇的習慣,但是,我會希望 Netflix 可以永遠地持續放映,我會去收藏《海岸村恰恰恰》。

這個項目,我希望可以給更高的分數,但是受限於評分機制,因此這個項目只能給到 10 分。

== 整體表現 ==

10 分。

相對於演員的部分,我想我是一位更著重於故事性的評論者,以上的評論分享,提供做為參考,希望對您有幫助,也誠摯地祝福您。

¿MEJOR DRAMA DEL 2021? SI

Empecé este kdrama con la idea de que sería un drama gracioso y que me haría pasar un buen rato, sin embargo fue mucho más que ello.

Es una historia que habla acerca del amor, todos los tipos de amor: romántico tanto en su etapa inicial como en su etapa más cruda y realista; amor entre amigos, amistades que están allí para apoyarte y guiare; amor familiar, de los padres a sus hijos y viceversa, amor de nietos; y un último el que le da la esencia al programa, amor de comunidad: Gongjin en si es un propio personaje.

De igual manera es una historia que nos habla acerca de las diferentes etapas de la vida y de las emociones que podemos tener en momentos muy específicos: arrepentimiento, fraternidad, tristeza, alegría, amor... Este es un kdrama que te hace sentir de muchas maneras: vuelves a creer en el amor, ríes, aprendes, creces junto a los personajes y lloras, porque las historias están llenas de un sentimiento único.

Adoro a esta serie y puedo decir que se ha convertido en mi favorita. No puedo dejar de recomendarla porque realmente me sentí sanada y espero que todos puedan ver la historia tan significativa de Dusik, Hyejin y de todos los habitantes de Gongjin, porque otro plus a lo anterior son los personajes tan maravillosos: mujeres fuertes, hombres serviciales, abuelas sabias, amigos carismáticos, personas reales.

Não voltaria a assistir

Esse dorama começou muito bem, achei interessantíssimo o início mostrando o dia-a-dia da vida de várias pessoas simples de uma cidadezinha litorânea.
Mas do meio para frente fica uma sofridão sem fim, o ator principal acho que nunca chorou tanto na vida quanto nessa história, chega uma hora que cansa ver tanta desgraça e você fica torcendo para acabar logo. Não assistiria de novo, pra acabar avancei várias partes só por curiosidade.

Un romance bonito y entretenido de ver, pero que termina siendo predecible y un poco cliché.

La serie, en principio, cuenta la historia de amor entre Hong Doo Shik (un hombre guapo e inteligente que sabe hacer muchas cosas, por lo que siempre ayuda a todos en Gongjin, su pueblo) y Yoon Hye Jin (una dentista de Seúl que, debido a algunas complicaciones, decide mudarse a Gongjin para abrir una clínica).

Para empezar, debo decir que es una serie súper bonita. Visualmente es bella, los actores son buenos, tiene personajes muy bien construidos y con un lindo desarrollo, etc, etc. Además, en general la disfruté bastante. Es cute, fresca y entretenida, eso no se puede negar, y algunos capítulos realmente me encantaron (sobre todo los que se ubican más o menos por la mitad). Entonces, ¿por qué no solo le tiro flores y ya está? Bueno...

Para empezar, no es nada original, y sacando algunos temas que se tocan a través de los personajes secundarios (los cuales aplaudo mucho, porque para el final eran lo que más me estaba gustando), no se aleja mucho de otras series coreanas románticas. Muchas situaciones me parecieron ultra convenientes o predecibles (el final lo sentí como un festival de coincidencias, real), algunos mensajes, aunque entiendo el por qué, me parecieron forzados, etc. Con esto no quiero decir que esté mal hecha, nada que ver, simplemente no me sorprendió de ninguna manera.

Pero bueno, para terminar con unas palabras positivas, la relación principal es muy bonita (excepto por una actitud de la prota que me molestó mucho), la pareja secundaria es todo lo que está bien, los personajes secundarios se roban la serie (sus conflictos son muy buenos) y el triángulo amoroso está muy bien planteado, es de esos que posta se disfrutan. Otra cosa que me encantó es cómo se retrata el sentimiento de "comunidad" entre los habitantes del pueblo, es muy bonito.

En fin, un kdrama lindo y entretenido que no destaca mucho, pero que igual les recomiendo ver. Mi única crítica real es que se alarga al pedo, podría haber sido más corto jaja
