me too!

Gamri's death at the end of the episode will be a test for Dusik after today's event...will he get out of his own guilt this time and know that elder people will eventually leave this world, sooner or later? Or, will the self-suggestion that he's the bad-luck person who would just push everyone to death solidify even more? On top of it, Hye-Jin's job offer will force him to evaluate his priorities again. It will be interesting to see.
Up to episode 15, I gotta say the writer intentionally not made Hometown chachacha a story of two people in love. It's a story about a town that mends broken hearts. Everyone finally gets the closure of their story here. Even Ji PD, or the wife of the dead husband, or even the cameraman with a vegetative father...alll come here and get their proper closure.
Surprisingly, the hightlight of this episode for me was I- Jun, Gongjin's little genius. The way he was unsure how to deal with this newfound happiness, a.k.a his parents' reconciliation, hence go cry alone in a deserted place was so touching but also relatable. This feeling in him, as well as the girl's crying for mama during the storm, are a few emotions that are rarely explored in dramas and arts. Hence, I really appreciate writer-nim for making us reliving many pure emotions besides romance.
Last but not least, I so love Hye Jin's personality. Back then, till now, from a student to a dentist, she has always been this strong, calm and independent lady, who's not afraid to speak what she thinks, who demands the truth she deserves, and always gives a helping hand to people who are in need. This realistic character do exists in real life, and is one of those who makes this world a better place to live.

if she has conscience, no matter how heartbroken she is for her husband, she should apologize dusik because it was her husband who was the driver who put them in the situation. of course dusik would feel guilty and sad and blame himself too but its his story, not hers to tell.

Gotta quote this "Homecha didn't want such a tragic backstory to overshadow the story it was trying to tell. By saving the unravelling of the backstory as long as it did, it allowed us the viewers to be fully invested in the love, character development, and side stories of the drama." because your words are so on point. Thank you very much for bringing this up.

I actually never felt she was selfish. It's usually hard to adjust to a new life in a local village. She's a born and raised Seoul girl after all. She's a bold and straightforward woman who fights for the right things to happen in her profession, even if she has to call out these people.
