Hometown Cha Cha Cha Episode 1 Recap
The chapter began with the introduction of Hye Jin as a dentist in Seoul. She stays happily alone in an apartment without any contact with her neighbors.

Things turned for the worst after her superior, Lee Min Young, questioned her for not using the opportunity to make money.
Hye Jin left the clinic after a heated argument with Min Young. And then, she met her close friend Pyo Mi Seon. The friends discussed the various challenges faced by them. Hye Jin was surprised to receive a call from her superior, who questioned her for spreading false rumors about the clinic on social media.

First Meeting Between Hong Du Sik and Yoon Hye Jin
It was her mother's birthday, and she decided to spend some time on the beach. While watching a surfer, the dentist remembered a day she spent with her parents at the beach.
