As much as both the drama titles appear to be poles apart, the beginning of both the romances are similar in nature. The female leads in both the drama have a tendency to escape from their city lives when the going gets tough and move away to remote areas where they find their future love interests.
Bonus: both the male leads know how to surf and look fine while at it!

Andante is more bittersweet and slower paced than Hometown, but both drama's deal with loss and grief and healing. The male lead in Andante is a teenager who needs to grow and mature while the male lead in Hometown is an adult in need of healing from past trauma. The female lead in Andante is a struggling young woman needing help with carrying her burdens while the female lead in Hometown is a bit selfish and self-absorbed and needing to grow as a person. Both dramas portray romantic relationships that grow the people in them in different ways.
Aside from being the best dramas i watch this 2021, it has its similarities because both have a female character who was 'demoted' to a new job in Konto and in HC, to a remote area. Tbh, Konto is more like a collection of stories compared to HC which is more focused on the main couple.
In addition, the relationships in both dramas seem genuine. IMO, the romantic relationships in these dramas were not forced and grew naturally. Both have comedy elements in them too, so both are good stress relievers! Just be reminded that Konto might make you cry in the first few episodes.

Of course HCCC is not a GL but the stories set ups are very similar and generally the vibes too. In both shows there's a woman who lives and works in the city (Wan and Hye Jin) but for different reasons they both have to go and settle in the countryside and work there in a very different way than they're used to. When they go there they meet a person who is very loved by the community and does all the jobs they can do (Maewnam and Doo Shik). Also in both cases the main ships have met since they were younger but one or both of them have forgotten/didn't realize. There's also the general vibe of a community outside of the city with aunties/uncles that always end up getting entangled with the mains who also have their own problems and eventually fall in love.
- The banter between both the couples is similar and quite entertaining.
- Both MLs are charming and both the FLs hold themselves in high regard.
- Bora loses the so-called love of her life and the FL in Hometown Cha Cha Cha loses her dream job i.e both of them are at a difficult stage in their lives.
- Both the dramas are light hearted except one storyline in Hometown Cha Cha Cha.
- Enemies > Friends > Lovers
