Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha: TV Review

Shin Min-a and Kim Seon-Ho in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021)

I had only watched one other Korean television show before finding Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha so I wasn't really sure what to expect. From episode one, I was hooked. Hometown is one of the best shows I have watched in a long time.

Yoon Hye Jin, played by Shin Min-a, is a dentist in Seoul and she loves it but after an unfortunate mishap while drinking she moves to a small seaside town and opens a practice. There she meets Chief Hong, a local guy with a dark past, and they butt heads immediately.

I think what makes Hometown such a good series is that the characters seem to have a lot of chemistry making their will they/won't they story perfect. It's cheesy in most parts, all romantic comedies have that cheese factor, but there is just something so charming about Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.

Hometown has become a comfort show for me. I rewatch it when I am happy, when I am sad, and especially when I just want to watch something familiar. You fall in love with the characters again every time you watch it. Kim Seon-ho has quickly become one of my favorite actors.

If you want something that's just a feel-good romantic show with quite a few episodes then I suggest giving Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha a watch. It's one of my all-time favorites. You can catch it on Netflix.
