You’ll like it if you like slice of life.

Beautiful rural beachside scenery. A town of quirky people. Eye candy main leads. Not eye candy supporting leads so the main leads stand out even more. A simple straightforward, predictable romance. A calming atmosphere.

It’s a decent slice of life. Just not my cup of tea.

TLDR expanded review;

While "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" boasts beautiful rural beachside scenery, it fails to utilize its stunning backdrop to its full potential. The visuals may be pleasing to the eye, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired.

The town's supposedly quirky inhabitants come across as caricatures rather than fully developed characters, resulting in a lack of depth and genuine connection with the audience. The attempts at humor often fall flat, leaving viewers craving for more meaningful interactions and substantial storytelling.

Although the main leads may be considered eye candy, their attractiveness becomes a distraction, overshadowing any substantive development in their performances. Furthermore, the supporting leads, lacking in physical appeal, are left with shallow and forgettable roles, further emphasizing the imbalanced focus on superficial aesthetics rather than acting prowess.

The romance in "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" follows a predictable and formulaic path, leaving little room for surprises or genuine emotional investment. The simplicity and straightforwardness of the plot make it feel uninspired, lacking the depth and complexity that can make a romance truly compelling.
