8.0/10

This was a very well done first episode. I already have a feel for the main leads! I already feel like they're my friends and I understand how they tick. Yoon Hye Jin says she doesn't want to help or deal with people's problems, but she does want to help. She loves it and she doesn't want her patients to have to deal with huge bills they can't afford. She also can't abide a bully. And so much more. I adore her, even if she screams at a cricket. Hong Doo Shik clearly takes care of everyone in his town as Chief Hong. He's a jack of all trades it seems and I wonder if he's more . . . like the towns official mayor or something?

Yoon Hye Jin lost her mom young and I think is looking for that family connection. It broke my heart hearing her dad's new wife tell him he's cold. Then once he realized that she was calling on her mother's birthday he didn't reach back. Hong Doo Shik lost his dad young, and I'm assuming his mom wasn't in the picture. There's more there.

The town and it's residents are clearly going to be major characters and I already love what we're shown. It feels a lot like the setup for the gown and people in Gilmore Girls. I'm super excited to get to know everyone better. Not to mention the town is so beautiful. The scenery!!!

I will say I was super disappointed in Yoon Hye Jin for leaving her super expensive shoes alone on the beach. Hong Do Shik might be on to something. She is a bit clueless. Or maybe doesn't always think things through. Like the fact that her phone had already started working!

Well I'm in! I can't wait!

FINALLY!!!

Finally Netflix Italia is uploading this drama, two episodes each week, so I can finally watch it more comfortably with subs in my own language!I just finished to watch this first episode and I can totally see why everyone is talking about it, I'm already deeply in love with the vibes thia drama gives me.It takes a few elements from classical dramaland, but in my opinion it add something new to the mix!I don't know what it is, but I like it a lot!I also enjoy the lead couples. The protagonist is super invested in her work, but in the right way. She likes what she do, and she doesn't just want to achieve money, she is just and I love that about her!The male lead is a mystery to me, that's probably the kind of person that you love if you know him, but might scares you a bit if you don't know him...He looks really invested in his community well-being, he seems to know everyone, and everyone seems to love and respect him!Whole watching I didn't really know how to feel about him. Didn't know whether I wanted to hug him or trow a rock at his head...I think this couple might turn into something adorable at some point!I'm curious now!The last few minutes of the episode melted my heart, I feel so genuinely happy at the moment...I'm also happy for her decision to open a clinic one her own! You go girl! 🎉

A Tropey Episode with the usual dose of KDrama Cringe

I always wonder how Korean audience watches shows with the same formula recycled and reused, but I guess execution makes all the difference. Started this for Kim Seon Ho and his performance was at his usual level. The Female lead had some scenes where the acting was off ( as in unneccesary or just executed badly) This Drama seems to push Townspeople as talkative folks lol. I quite enjoyed it, visuals were great. The Awkward scenes weren't very awkward, atleast not STARTUP level awkward. I shall continue this drama for kim seon ho. KSH calling all Soap Opera the same made my day. I was hysterically laughing with how cheezy " I'm Chief Hong" scene at the end was. This Episode was more like a prologue I guess. The Actual show starts in ep2. Overall, it was a decent episode.

warm first episode

The characters are dianamic and all very lovable with good acting to no-ones suprise from the main leads and even across the whole cast the acting is fairly decent. The pacing of this story is something I wanted to mention because I thought it was really good even just from 1 episode. We get to find out so much and equal amounts from the main leads about their characters and the relationships they have. This pacing gave this drama a really warm feeling and makes you smile. Overall if your not watching this I highly recommend putting it as a high priority on your PTW list but I'm a little bias because of the cast so if dramas about relationships in small towns (and whats in the description) is your cup of tea I highly recommend so far. it also reminded me of home and my childhood but that might be more my own nostalgia than the drama.

1st episode Dimple Couple Chemistry and storyline Superb!

Ever since StartUp, I have watched almost all of Kim Seon Ho's Dramas and this guy never disappoints, his acting is always the best, it's as though he is the character! And Shin Min Ah uri Gumiho girl she is like the icing on the cake! These two are the best combo! Hometown Cha cha cha is a remake of the 2004 South Korean film Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong. I just watched the 1st episode and felt what I haven't felt in a long time, Love & Curiosity to know more. I highly recommend you guys watch this! Infact I feel its not your typical ROMCOM it has an essence of its own. While we see on one side how talented and beautiful Shin Min Ah's character Yoon Hye Jin is at the same time we also see she has a tender and righteous heart who also seems to have some back story which we'll get to know more about in the coming episodes. While Kim Seon Ho's character Hong Doo Shik is a Master of all trades like he can do almost any job and loves to help the villagers and is very close and caring towards the elder people there. He's a very optimistic character and has a charming smile[I mean Kim Seon Ho;-)]. There is very little revealed about his back story so we'll have to wait to see in the further episodes to know more about his back story.
