Feel-good Korean dramas and films
In Korea, "healing" (힐링) dramas and films are gentle stories centred on everyday life, family, friends and neighbours, often set in seaside villages, on Jeju Island or in the countryside. The production company Studio Dragon described Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha as "a healing romance set in a seaside village".
