New Korean romantic comedy series Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, one of the most anticipated K-dramas this year, is finally set to take off today, August 28, with actors Shin Min-a and Kim Seon-ho as the leads.
“We have such great acting chemistry. Kim Seon-ho has such a great personality and is a type of a person who makes others comfortable,” Shin said. “I wanted to have flexibility in acting with this series and Kim was so considerate. I think we clicked very well.”
Adding that he enjoyed every moment of work on the show, Kim said: “Shin is very open to exchanging opinions and creating the scenes. She would always come up with funny ideas and would show them to us, which were really amusing.”
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, directed by Yoo Je-won who led Oh My Ghost and Tomorrow, with You, is set in a fictional seaside village – the peaceful and close-knit Gongjin.
“This is a story of a city woman Hye-jin settling into a town by a seaside, as she meets Du-sik. Because the two come from very different backgrounds, they bicker all the time, which brings them closer to each other,” the director said of the series. “And as they do, she learns to mingle with the town’s people and Du-sik also grows [as a person] from being by her side.”
He added that viewers will also enjoy the scenery of the coastal city and the sea. “Our series doesn’t revolve around dynamic elements or story, but rather it will offer small, intimate healing moments,” he said.
