How Many Episodes Of Hometown Cha-Cha Have Ended?
After sixteen excellent episodes of heartwarming drama, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has come to an end on Netflix and tvN. While many fans may be hoping to see a second season of the K-Drama, we’re here to explain why a season 2 won’t be happening anytime soon. Handy, Mr. Hong.
Why Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha won’t be returning for season 2 on Netflix Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has been one of the most popular weekly K-Dramas on Netflix this year, however, episode sixteen of season one is the very last we’ll see of the series. Unlike many television shows in the west, dramas in South Korea typically do not outstay their welcome, and often the stories of the series are wrapped up in one season. What doesn’t help the possibility of a second season is that Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a television adaptation of the 2004 South Korean film Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong.
Both Hye Jin and Du-Sik got their happy ending after all. The newly engaged couple then shared a passionate kiss on the beach until they were rudely interrupted by the tide, once again having to chase after a missing shoe. After sharing many sweet moments along together, the pair eventually revealed their wedding plans to the residents of Gongjin, who were all delighted by the news.

What Is A Great Example Of How K-Dramas Can Get Romance Right?
The charming series on Netflix is a great example of how K-dramas can get romance right, even as it attempts to provide more nuance and depth into the struggles of its lead characters In the K-drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, the picturesque seaside town of Gongjin is as much an integral character as anybody else on screen. There’s bright, blue skies, stunning sunsets, an unending supply of fresh seafood, and a quaint red lighthouse in the backdrop. The seaside town and its wholesome residents (especially one resourceful charmer) truly warrants an attachment of that kind.

It’s initially made out to be a classic tale of opposites clashing. Ye-Jin can’t fathom how Du-Sik takes up a host of odd jobs and insists on only earning a minimum wage.
The other residents of Gongjin are thrown into this mix as well; they’re wry, yet welcoming of Hye-Jin, and the show devotes its initial episodes to how they warm up to each other. Without divulging much, it is impressive how Hometown… attempts to go beyond a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy as it explores grief, guilt, loss, and healing. While this is dealt with in a mature way, it would have benefited the show more if the intense themes weren’t all packed into the final two episodes.
Despite K-drama tropes aplenty (can we do away with the childhood connection and innumerable coincidental meetings already? ), where Hometown.. leaves a lasting impression is also through its solid lead couple. Hye-Jin and Du-Sik radiate warmth, respect each other and are mindful of what they need to work on. For a large part of the show, Du-Sik’s past remains shrouded in mystery and even when there’s a big reveal, the couple deals with it, minus the theatrics and noble idiocy that one has come to expect of shows like this one.
Three cheers to the writer Shin Ha-Eun for also giving us a very likeable and large-hearted second lead in Ji Seyong-Hyun (Lee Sang-Yi). It is rather lovely how the show doesn’t unnecessarily drag out a love triangle and instead, gives us the two main male characters forging a bond. Ultimately, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a good example of how K-dramas can get romance right, even as it attempts to provide more nuance and depth into the struggles of its lead characters.
