REVIEWER: Toto Zhimo, BA 1st Semester, Department of English, Tetso College
A perfect comfy healing and positive k-drama “ Hometown cha-cha-cha” is a must watch drama for relaxing our mood and mind, it is not cringy at all, rather one could relate to its lines and characters.
The fear of being unloved, the fear of being left alone all pointing out to the raw emotions we all face “Hometown cha-cha-cha” gently show’s us a Slice of Life.
This drama doesn’t have a villain, set in the coastal town of a fictional province “Gongjin” . Its environment is light and bright which is very uplifting to the mood.
The drama isn’t too predictable, not over the top it’s very simple and warm. The story is about a city girl with a good job and income who meets an almost Mr perfect guy and falls in love. The way the characters fall in love is so beautiful, the supporting characters playing as neighbours and community but more so of a big family brings an eunoia feeling and bliss to the heart.
All in all this drama was a stress buster for me especially after having a stressful week of internal tests and assignments at the college. It was a much needed one, I would totally recommend all to watch “Hometown cha-cha-cha” . It is a happy, positive and healing drama which will tingle your heart.
