props to #HometownChaChaChaEp14 for perfectly executing what it's like to have a mental health disease, it's never a one talk-one counseling thing, it's A LINGERING feeling, hence the snippets every ep of how it slowly kills Du Sik

Hometown ChaChaCha has always been said to be a healing drama, from the start it is one's prerogative to be fixated in Dusik's problem when it was never the point of the whole drama. Personally, I think it being in the latter eps is just the perfect timing. #HometownChaChaChaEp14

It perfectly showed how the thing that's been killing you will always be there at the back of your mind whether u're happy, sad, or just plainly living. This is HomeCha for me. It was never intended to be an over the top dramatic twist. It's realistic. #HometownChaChaChaEp14

HomCha is a drama that is never only about Dusik's mental health disease and past, nor Hyejin's personality lapses. It has always been how the village healed together. I'm glad that I am fully experiencing its warmth without reservations and expectations. #HometownChaChaChaEp14

Also, Dusik's hesitance to open up to anyone even to the "love of his life", is painfully relatable. It's not weakness, it's not lack of trust, it's not fear sometimes you just don't know why you can't or it's all of it. The writer did a marvelous job. #HometownChaChaChaEp14

I'll cherish #HometownChaChaChaEp14's portrayal of clin. depression because k-dramas have portrayed it as a dramatic plot device: over the top anxiety attacks of screaming, sobbing, destroying things, rudeness and isolation but personally HomCha was by far the most realistic one.

and hugs to everyone that understands where I'm coming from too, it's either it's because you've been there too or you care and empathize. #HometownChaChaChaEp14 #HappyWorldMentalHealthDay

Last: I just want to hug Dusik too. Even with the person you're most comfortable with, it is never easy to show how you truly feel. #KimSeonHo's portrayal of what it's like to bottle it all up, even if you want to break yourself deserves multiple awards. #HometownChaChaChaEp14
