Hometown Cha Cha Cha

 Such an entertaining watch! A sweet and simplistic look at country life. The locations are beautiful as always and the storyline is engaging and endearing in its simplicity .The lead pair are a good match for each other and it is nice to see the different situations that they have to face when they meet.

It's nice to watch these Korean dramas where they bring out the way of life of the people in these little country side places. The lead pair is adorable and have many good moments together that carries the story forward.

It is a slow paced similar to life in a small countryside. It is not overly melodramatic and so far no skin show or any hint of sex. The series kind of grows on you and you feel at ease being in the village by the shore. This is a welcome change from the city life depicted in many of the dramas. It reminds us of our native villages and the slow moving life there. What can I say about the location? It's surreal and I really feel like packing my bags and going there. The hamlet, the sea front, the waves and the small eateries and shops, the local vendors - everything is so charming and has a different vibe to it.

The way of life in the village, the bonds they share, their food and festivals, customs and traditions all are well- depicted throughout the series. There is so much of heart in this series that one cannot help getting involved and touched by the episodes. There is also a beautiful love story blooming and the lead couple is adorable yet so unconventional.

There are some beautiful moments too, where the lead pair vibes with each other and the others around them act as catalyst to their bond. Some life lessons about life are also planted in between the episodes in a non-preachy manner.

A good watch streaming on Netflix.

Korean Dramas

 Korean dramas are emotional and realistic. The story narration is wonderful and fast-paced.

They bring a slice of life and engage us with the simplistic stories that are heartfelt. They have some beautiful melodies and the locations are just apt. The character sketches in every drama is thoughtful and the actors are exceptionally good at how they portray themselves. 

The two back to back Korean drama series I watched were One Spring Night and Something in the Rain. Both these series were outstanding and the songs were absolutely soulful. What can I say about the lead pair of both these series! The oppas are simply breath-taking and we just cannot take our eyes off them! The female leads are also a great match for the leading men. 

I am so glad I got hooked to these Korean drama series lately. It is not something new for me. Many years ago , I was hooked to the series on KBS and then too I was amazed by the heartfelt stories. These series are not overly melodramatic. There is no excess of sex, nudity or foul language at all. There is depiction of beautiful bonds between family and friends. The love stories are adorable and they have such beautifully tender moments shown that we cant help but swoon.

Annayum Rasoolam

 Watching Annayum Rasoolam a love story about two star-crossed lovers who live in the hope that there will be a happily ever after life for them as a couple.

The story is as realistic as it can get and we can't help being blown over by the sheer intensity of their love. There is so much conveyed through the glances and the short moments that they share with each other. It makes it clear that love makes you a changed person.

The lead pair of Fahaadh and Andrea share great chemistry and do an amazing job as a couple that lives in hope in spite of knowing that they are doomed right from the word go.

The locations, some and music make the scenes memorable. The story remains with us even after the movie and our heart aches for the lovers. The movie is a bit slow paced but it created waves when it was released. An excellent movie that cannot be missed. It is a must watch for all Fahaadh Faasil fans. Great acting by the lead pair.

Earlier they did not have English subtitles for this movie but now you can watch it with subtitles.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime.
