Beep, CC, and special guest Heide dive deep into episode thirteen of Netflix kdrama worldwide hit Hometown Cha Cha Cha starring Shin Min-a and Kim Seon-ho.

In episode thirteen, a typhoon is not the only storm to hit the residents of Gongjin. Through the lens of five relationships, writer Shin Ha-eun and director Yu Je-won explore the idea that the heart is like a garden – seeds of faith or resentment are planted through action or inaction. In particular, the episode gives voice to women asserting how they expect to be treated by their partners. And like Chief Hong’s homemade wine, whether something will prove sweet with time depends on how well a relationship is cared for. 

Please note that this is a rewatch podcast, so each episode contains spoilers for the entire series.
