#also if it's pain and angst you're searching for you should go for Bulgasal

I know you're not gonna believe it but by the end of the show Du shik was our baby.

Du-sik actually likes Hyejin a lot. Much more so than Hyejin does him. And honestly the pacing of this drama is shit. But Du-sik is actually behaving this way because he likes her. (I know it's fucked up).

The main problem(also a good point in a way) with this show is that it takes a looot of time in getting to the point.

He's actually a very broken person with a lot of anxiety and abandonment issues and puts up this confident, casual, friendly facade to hide that.

I wouldn't call it one of my favourite dramas, but I guess so many people on Tumblr liked this drama because the second half of the drama deals with a lot of issues. It's not something very bingeable and there's not the firey love and angst and pain(that we like), but Hometown cha cha cha kinda shows a realistic version of a relationship.

All it's the first show that I've seen where the first and second ml don't form an enmity over the fl. Infact this is the first show where they become very nice friends later on.

And I guess amid a sea of green flags, Hong Du-sik stands out because he's so very broken and damaged mentally that sometimes he does things that a typical green flag male wouldn't do, which is in line with his character. But still he tries his best for Hyejin.

I tried to make this post without any spoilers. But if it's 9th episode then their dating era should start very soon and things get better from there on.

Since you've come this far. Please go on

I'm done.

The only thing I ship Du-sik with at this point is perpetual singlness. I hate the idea of him and Hye-jin getting together, she deserves better. She deserves Seong-hyeon, but of course he must have some weird flaw or else she's just going to go with hormones because I don't know why else she would like Du-sik who treats her like crap (except when he has a whim and doesn't). I guess I finally have experienced Second Male Lead Syndrome

Also, I doubt anyone (mostly Du-sik) is going to apologize for assuming that Hye-jin was all privileged when it turns out her life sucked just as much as the rest of them. So what she's a little snobby and doesn't make friends quickly? She is a good person and I can't bear watching everyone crucify her for nothing.

Honestly I'm just confused as this point as to why so many people whose taste I respect like this drama. I hate it. I think the male lead is horrible. Justice for Hye-jin! Director for Hye-jin! Let my girl be free!
