Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021)
God, I feel so lonely.
Faithful to its countryside aesthetic, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a simple, heartfelt, and wholesome romantic tale. There's not much of anything going on and the story occasionally goes through the motions. In return, the tension is never that intense. The drama never reaches that high. The conflicts are never lingering. The story embraces its interpersonal relationships and familial bonds and, thus, we the viewers are also treated as such by extension. The warm and welcoming atmosphere is both emotionally and mentally fulfilling.
While the supporting cast were quite fun in their own right and definitely had their moments to shine, the focus is loud and clear--- the main couple. They're loving, endearing while also annoyingly cute and disgustingly sweet. But I did enjoy watching their relationship grow from indifference to being absolutely head over heels for each other.
While I sympathize and can emotionally understand the direction of the writing developments... I can't say that I'm 100% a fan on how they decided to handle and wrap up one of the major plot points during the ending sequences. It felt like it didn't do justice to the story we've experienced thus far. In short, yeah the ending turned out fine but I was definitely hesitant and unconvinced on how they were gonna pull it off. The show opted to go a little heavy-handed on the emotional bits towards the end but still very much an all's well that ends well type of vibe.
I hope that we all, someday, find our very own hometown, cha, cha, cha.
