The most highly anticipated K-Drama of 2021, starring Kim SeonHo and Shin MinA, "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha", has officially premiered worldwide on Netflix! In Korea itself, it premiered on tvN where it achieved the number 1 spot in ratings (6.8%) in its time slot. Needless to say, fans all over the world have been drawn into the beautiful, beachy world of "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" and we can't wait to see what happens next.
Here are 3 reasons why we're hooked to "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" already!
1. The healing landscape
The beautiful healing story of "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" is set in a gorgeous seaside village of Gongjin. The actual filming location of the drama is in Pohang. Right off the bat, the beautiful seascape is like a breath of fresh air.
Anyone tired from the busy hustle and bustle of city life will find solace and relief in the blue and green of the hometown, as shown in the drama. The same goes for HyeJin, who moved from Seoul to Gongjin to fatten her bank account in a short amount of time but soon realises the charms of the countryside.
2. The city-girl trope
In the first two episodes, Shin MinA's Yoon HyeJin is nothing short of a dreamy mess. She is absolutely gorgeous, beaming with bright energy and a radiant glow. However, she's at a turning point in life which leads her to be a little flustered and apprehensive as she tries to build a new life in Gongjin.
As such, she comes off as your usual city girl who cannot adjust to the simplicity of country life. However, she's also a woman of grace and is deeply loveable who can easily endear herself to others just by being herself. It will be interesting to see how she changes as a person through her time in the healing land of GongJin.
3. Kim SeonHo as Mr. Good Boy once again!
tvN
Kim SeonHo garnered unbelievable love and support from fans worldwide through his character Han JiPyeong in "Start-Up". In that drama, he was lovingly called "Good Boy" by Seo DalmMi's grandmother.

In "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" once again, Chief Hong is a doting son/grandson to pretty much all the halmeonis in town. Everyone loves and adores him and he takes care of them with all his heart. There's something so charming about his character that you miss him every second he's not on screen.
In the first week itself, it is clear that Hong DooShik has fallen for HyeJin at first sight. As a matter of fact, they go way back! We can't wait to see what's next for our favourite "Dimple Couple".
