The Heart Is A Garden – Hometown Cha Cha Cha Episode 13

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.

Profile picture for CC & Beep

CC & Beep

CC is a Gen X recovering lawyer and full time wrangler of three children, a dog, and three cats based in Washington, DC. From science fiction to fantasy to historical drama, CC loves to escape to other worlds through story. In particular, CC is a fan of stories that hold up a mirror to human nature but inspire us to try to do better. She is a proud fangirl at heart and loves to talk and write about television like she was still an English major back in college. When she runs out of people in real life to talk to about stories, she ends up on Twitter or recording podcasts still talking about … you guessed it, television.

Beep is a Corporate America defector who writes stuff no one reads, plays around with coding, dabbles in making different kinds of art, and loves her pup, Auggie. It’s been said she watches way too much television. Is there even such a thing? Doubtful. Beep’s passionate about mental health and dogs! Send dog pics. For real. Anywhere, anytime. When it comes to things she hates, her motto is “just keep scrolling.” She resides in Tennessee.
