Garbage. Toss it out.

It’s terrible. Doesn’t tackle mental health in any meaningful way. Pretty privilege all the way. The only reason people fawn over this drama is the eye candy. Actress is a toxic manipulative person. Which is totally okay. Women can be portrayed as toxic. Women are human too. What’s not okay is the drama is portraying that toxicity as a good thing. Main character is portrayed as superior and can treat people like trash because she is pretty, has trauma and an undiagnosed personality disorder. Yeah no doesn’t work that way. Mental health is not an excuse to threaten people, push them down stairs, make people cry. Love doesn’t heal mental illness. Mental health has ups and downs and in this drama it’s portrayed like a fantasy. You’re healed with love and then you’re done. Mental health journeys aren’t so smooth. The romance is garbage. Felt no chemistry and the acting is one note as the characters are one note. All the side characters have no nuance to them. They have no personality and no pursuits and no passions outside of the their relation with the two main characters. Watch the cast. The two main characters are portrayed as the prettiest, smartest while the rest of the supporting cast are portrayed as ugly, stupid, only reason existing is the support the main characters. It’s so poorly written.

Trash drama. Slow waste of time. What’s sad is all the people praising this drama. They obviously had their brains turned off and were just glamoured away with the pretty eye candy scenes.

You’ll like it if you like slice of life.

Beautiful rural beachside scenery. A town of quirky people. Eye candy main leads. Not eye candy supporting leads so the main leads stand out even more. A simple straightforward, predictable romance. A calming atmosphere.

It’s a decent slice of life. Just not my cup of tea.

TLDR expanded review;

While "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" boasts beautiful rural beachside scenery, it fails to utilize its stunning backdrop to its full potential. The visuals may be pleasing to the eye, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired.

The town's supposedly quirky inhabitants come across as caricatures rather than fully developed characters, resulting in a lack of depth and genuine connection with the audience. The attempts at humor often fall flat, leaving viewers craving for more meaningful interactions and substantial storytelling.

Although the main leads may be considered eye candy, their attractiveness becomes a distraction, overshadowing any substantive development in their performances. Furthermore, the supporting leads, lacking in physical appeal, are left with shallow and forgettable roles, further emphasizing the imbalanced focus on superficial aesthetics rather than acting prowess.

The romance in "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" follows a predictable and formulaic path, leaving little room for surprises or genuine emotional investment. The simplicity and straightforwardness of the plot make it feel uninspired, lacking the depth and complexity that can make a romance truly compelling.
