I am personally loving the cringey scenes 😂🙈 Wouldn't mind if the writer keeps them coming coupled with…
I feel people feel they are cringy because we've seen kdrama with more mature and cultured romance.
But believe me, if you are in a first time relationship, and you and the guy are both new to it and are in cloud 9, you'd totally.be acting like dusik and Hye Jin. Maybe even more cringey.
one complaint that I've always had about romcoms in general is that they usually keep the fluff towards the end…
absolutely, I agree with this 100%. Too many dramas have left all the fluffy stuff in a 20-30 minute dating montage, or through pictures.
And if you've completely and emotionally invested in the ML and FL, there is no way you will not like hours of pure fluff, as its a culmination of all your heart's desire.
Not disagreeing but a lot of Rom-com Kdrama do that nowadays. There were many without a love triangle recently…
Yes, and Homecha belongs to those more unique rom-coms, regardless of how formulaic this drama may seem.
And even in this modern age, the whole break up in the middle trope, only for them to get back together near the end trope is still quite prevalent.
I think that for all that Dusik has gone through, we will see in the last few remaining episodes, of how instead of him saving everyone and fixing everyone's problems, we will see everyone, most importantly Hye Jin, saving him.
I don't want to say too much as they may be spoiler, but I can engage in a more fruitful manner once the drama has ended.
As this is an open forum, it's not unusual to see polarizing views on what makes a great show.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha is in it's purest essence a fluffy piece of Rom-Com. It never pretended to be anything but. So a cursory search for something deeper and complex may make you miss the message the show is trying to portray. And that is a lesson on strength and perseverance.
Without spoiling too much, I implore people to recall how your standard romance/drama formula goes. I've seen my fair of rom-coms/drama and the formula in terms of the romance has always been the same.
- Supporting characters barely get screen time, nor are their backstory fleshed out, unless they are the secondary couple, and even then, it may not be much. And what end up happening, is that the audience become bored by these side characters, and just eagerly wait or skip the side character scenes.
- There is always a love triangle, that may or may not last until the second to the last episodes. A lot of Kdrama uses this to keep audiences hooked until the very end. And I can't fault them, it' s a very effective strategy that creates multiple ships, where fans get enamored and fully invested in their ships, and thus theoretically increases or sustains viewer engagement until the end of the 16 episode arc.
- Once the conflicts are tied up, then there are normally 1 or maybe 2 episodes of fluff. Some rom-coms even squeeze in a wedding scene or two. And do a fast forward to show you how these two couples are so in love and etc... The rest of the future of these couples, we the viewers just fantasize or use our imagination on how it ends up being. It's all very rushed, but most rom-coms do it this way. It leads the ending open ended or leave it up to our imagination, or make a montage of the main couples future. Don't we wish a drama would come out and give us more episodes of fluff? Especially when you've invested a lot emotionally into the main couple?
You see that is where Homecha differs.
- Because it spends its time to flesh out it's interesting supporting characters, their scenes actually do a great job of melding with the lives of our FL and ML. To the point that the FL and ML give up a bit of screen time and importance to make the side characters shine on their own right, and it makes the whole watching experience more cohesive, as we get to know these side characters and revel in their interaction with our main couple.
- I won't comment on the love triangle, because spoilers.
- I won't comment on this either because spoilers.
I actually was surprised that with such a big cast, the drama has so far managed to have us intrigued and root…
The acting of the supporting cast has all been very good. They have all dug down and just absolutely owned their role. And put together, they really seem like a lovely group of neighbors you would gladly be friends with.
When they all brought food to HDS house, my heart felt so warm.
Kudos to the screenwriter for not giving FL/ML 95% of screen time. For me anyway, the rich backstories of the supporting characters really enhance the ML/FL for me.
Shoutout to Mi seon and Eun Cheol. They could literally have their own separate Kdrama, and I would watch it!
Homecha is a huge hit ! I have just seen all the other hit dramas with 2 digit ratings and most of them have a…
Gotta give props to casting director. And I just love all the start up references in the show, it's almost like director is saying this is HJP's redemption drama.
But KSH's acting is so on point, you can't believe HDS and HJP are the same actor! And this director is really taking advantage of KSH's usage of micro expressions.
Doo Shik trying to win over Hye Jin’s appa was freakin cute haha
I think the dad of Hye Jin kind of represents naysayer of HDS's characterization. But just like he did in Ep. 9, he will wear your down with his charm.
wow didn't expect that,Now they need very strong backstory for dushik o as to drive the remaining 6 episodes.My…
That's the thing, her accepting Hye Jin's feelings is such a curve ball as far as rom-com writing goes. It will be interesting to see how they write the remaining 6 episodes.
Puppy love/cloud 9 romance looks exactly like this in real life. Couples do the cringiest things at the peak of their love.
But believe me, if you are in a first time relationship, and you and the guy are both new to it and are in cloud 9, you'd totally.be acting like dusik and Hye Jin. Maybe even more cringey.
When people who are not used to dating start dating, they do really cringy things. Have you ever seen new couples wear matching t-shirts? Cringe!
Her love language is clearly quality time. Something he rarely gives her.
Both Hye Jin and dusik have not been in a relationship in a very very long time.
It's completely natural to see them revert into straight up bora and I Jun type of love. It's a very young and naive type of love from both of them.
They love each other, but the relationship is still so new that they are still both figuring out how to be girlfriend and boyfriend.
And if you've completely and emotionally invested in the ML and FL, there is no way you will not like hours of pure fluff, as its a culmination of all your heart's desire.

Their love is so sweet, I don't foresee a breakup at all, it's not in either person's characterization.
