During the summer of 2021, the Korean drama ‘Coastal Village Cha Cha Cha’ became a hit. With no dramatic storylines or supernatural elements, this story of ‘people in a rural village accompanying each other’ unexpectedly scored 8.6, becoming one of the most popular Korean dramas of the year.
Why? Because the ‘down-to-earth stories in a small village seem real.’ Amidst the hustle and bustle, the unfamiliar male and female leads get to know each other, develop feelings, and the tough villagers reveal their soft sides, healing each other. The extremely relaxed natural environment, combined with the fresh and clean visual style, makes viewers truly enjoy watching.
Recently, another rural-themed Korean drama is airing! It’s called ‘Random Countryside Diary,’ starring the new generation actors Park Soo-Ryung and Choo Young-U.
The story unfolds in a small village called ‘Hidong-ri,’ with the main characters being a young veterinarian named Han Ji-Hyun and a lively female detective named Ahn Ci-Yeong.
Starting off with high energy humor: while examining a dog, Han Ji-Hyun receives a call that his grandfather is in critical condition. He rushes to the countryside looking panicked, and on the way, Ahn Ci-Yeong mistakes him for a thief, leading to a comical arrest where he is tackled to the ground.
However, the plot takes a 180-degree turn as it turns out that there was no emergency with the grandfather; he just wanted to go on a trip with his grandmother, so he tricked Han Ji-Hyun into coming to the countryside to fill the veterinarian vacancy at the hospital.
At that moment, Han Ji-Hyun’s expression is a mix of confusion: waking up disoriented after being knocked down but more surprised by the revelation that ‘Grandpa wants me to run the animal hospital.’
However, he quickly adapts to life in the small village, taking care of injured animals, gaining the affection of the simple villagers, and his relationship with Ahn Ci-Yeong gradually becomes more affectionate…
‘Random Countryside Diary’ is a short-format drama with episodes lasting only 30 minutes and a total of 12 episodes. The narrative is fast-paced, the plot is concise, and viewers can finish the entire story in just a few hours, making it very user-friendly for busy audiences.
