Episode Guide
Episode 1: The first episode of the show is a good start, but it could use some improvement. The writing is good, but the story could be more interesting. The characters are interesting and the plot is interesting. However, the ending could be better. Episode 2: The second episode of the show is better than the first. The writing is better and the story has more development. However, there are some problems with it. One problem is that there are too many flashbacks in a short amount of time. Another problem is that there are not enough action scenes in it. Episode 3: The third episode of the show is better than the second but still needs some improvement. The writing is much better and there are more action scenes in it than in Episode 2. However, there are also some problems with it. One problem is that it feels like too much has been said already in this episode and another problem is that it feels like too much has been revealed about what will happen next without any further explanation or development. Episode 4: The fourth episode of the show does not seem to have as much development as either Episode 3 or Episode 5 did for example there are very few new developments or revelations made throughout this entire episode which makes for an unengaging experience overall despite being well written and well-acted by all involved
The show is set in a small town in South Korea, and it follows the lives of its residents. It’s a light, breezy show rife with romance, comedy and light bites of drama. It’s the perfect small town weekend treat and an undeniably fun watch from start to finish.
Chief Hong is a kindly man who takes an interest in Hye-Jin and helps her out when she’s struggling to fit in. He’s a bit of a loner, but he’s always there for her when she needs it. The townspeople are also nice to him, but they don’t understand why he’s there.
Du-Sik is a handsome and suave man who is officially unemployed but undeniably busy. He helps out all the different residents and gives Hye-Jin some sound advice. As one may expect, the duo start to grow closer together and across the episodes each grow and evolve over time. ..
The Cha Cha Cha show is a love story with a large ensemble of characters. Chun-Jae is a former Seoul-bound singer who’s retired but itching to get back in the studio. There’s also Nam-Suk, the resident gossiper, and recently divorced Yeong-Guk and Hwa-Jeong. Their child Yi-Joon is caught in the middle of their marital issues but finds solace with the utterly adorable Bo-Ra.
The parents of Bo-Ra are expecting a child, but the friction between Geum-Cheol and Yun-Gyeong complicates matters. There are extra characters here too, including the young police office Eun-Cheol, Hye-Jin’s best friend Mi-Seon and her college friend/crush Seong-Hyeon. Oh, and that’s before mentioning the trio of Gongjin grannies.
The show does an excellent job of balancing the characters and giving them enough time to develop. Each episode focuses on one or two residents, which makes for a great story. The show has a lot of depth and it is clear that the writers are very passionate about their work.
The show has a consistent arc with a lovely conclusion by the end.

The show does well to keep things enjoyable right the way through, with other subplots that fail to shine. ..
