Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha KDrama: Why We Love It So Much

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

1. The drama tugs at your heartstrings

The anguish and sadness of growing up without a mother, the thoughtfulness of an old woman not wanting to be a burden to her children, the sadness of unfulfilled dream of becoming a successful singer after the manager ran away with the money funded for the album release are some of the stories that Gongjin villagers have to tell to the viewers.

Hye-jin (played by Shin Min-A) moves to Gongjin province to start a new life and career after she walked out from her boss’s office at one of Seoul’s dental clinic. Ruining her career after a public post, she settles and opens her clinic at Gongjin seaside village. The contrast between the city and the countryside manners clashes between Gongjin villagers and her, but gradually changes as both the villagers and Hye-jin unfold their life stories behind the actions and decisions they make. As most people say, one can only fully understand the other after we put into perspective and feelings of the other person.
