Studio Dragon announced on the 20th that a Japanese remake of the Korean drama " Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha " has been confirmed.

" Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" is a drama that aired on tvN in 2021, receiving great love for providing warm healing through the encounter between dentist Yoon Hye-jin (Shin Min-a) and the unemployed Chief Hong (Kim Seon-ho). In particular, the simple and warm story set against the backdrop of the beautiful seaside town of Gongjin gained immense popularity among Japanese viewers as well.

This remake will be co-produced with the Japanese production company Nippon TV, with the goal of airing in Japan in the second half of 2024. Nippon TV is Japan's largest commercial broadcaster and has a track record of producing numerous hit dramas such as "Tokyo Tower" and "Mother."

" Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha"'s remake is expected to further accelerate the boom of Japanese remakes of Korean dramas.
