Wherever the road brings us!
I wanted to watch the original title before watching the actual drama 'Hometown Cha Cha Cha' cause i have this stupid rule to read/watch the OG first and then go to the adaptation.The movie was pretty cute and little cheesy but it's a rom-com. It is what it is. It's after a long time i am watching a perfectly balanced rom-com. It's might not be the perfect rom-com but it did have a balance and didn't tip of the cringe scale.
It's starts out like any English movie and then to the dramatic scene. Then proceeds to have a annoying first meeting and then to a wide no. of coincidences and then the helping/getting to know each other scene even tho here it's just her getting help from him.
Since it's a Korean rom-com set in the sea side village, it might get some ppl annoyed cause in a village, your business is not your business alone anymore and privacy is not a choice anymore. Everyone cares abt what you do and you have to put an effort to remember what others do too. The drama starts out by random suggestions by ML in FL's lifestyle but then it's not like offensive.
Mr. Hong was the one character that was portrayed raw. He is good and everything but grounded. He has flaws but no one knows. He acts like an elder but that's just how he is.
The acting was pretty good but maybe cause it was old, i could see sometimes the acting was very stereotypical and straight of the textbook.
Other than that i loved the FL's BFF/assistant, she was so cuteeeeeee.
Music was nice. It really gave a feel good movie song vibe. Cliche but okay.
Overall, it was an nice movie. I won't re-watch but it has potential of a re-watch. Cute movie.

A New Flavor to Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
I wanted to see what the original source material for hometown cha cha cha was.Its a short and sweet movie, the shots are beautiful and the music and dialogue pull you in to the atmosphere of gongjin.
All i can say is that hometown cha cha cha did a great job taking this movie and go deeper into every single aspect of it. Its amazing how similar the leads of the movie and show are. It feels like its the same Chief Hong we all know and love.
Watch this movie after the show to see the two of them drinking in Chief Hong's house again <3
