For more lighthearted romantic K-dramas about a guy and a gal falling for each other when they least expect it, read on.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha stars Shin Min-a (Our Blues) as a successful Seoul dentist who meets a local handyman (Kim Seon-ho) when she visits a charming seaside village. On a whim, she decides to open up a practice by the sea, and the two grow close — despite being polar opposites. The series from Love Next Door director Yu Je-won and its writer, Shin Ha-eun, is a remake of the 2004 film Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong.
