Question about 저도 가고 싶어지네요.
This is part of a conversation in my textbook.
A: 동호회 사람들이 이번 주말에도 허브 공원에 가자고 해서 기대돼요.
B: 허브 공원요? 저도 가고 싶어지네요.
Why is "가고 싶어지네요" here instead of
"저도 가고 싶네요." ?
And one more question about a sentence.
회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요.
Why not "멀어요" but "멀어서요"?
Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

For the first question, both answers can be used, but there is a difference in meaning.
1. 저도 가고 싶네요 = I like to go too. (simply expresses one's state of mind)
2. 저도 가고 싶어지네요 = That makes me want to go too. (indicates the changing state of mind - "become")
싶어지다 = 싶다 + -아/어 지다. -아/어 지다 means "to become (a certain state)".
e.g. 날이 어둡다 = It is dark / 날이 어두워졌다 = It got dark.
e.g. 동생은 몸이 약하다 = My brother is physically weak / 동생은 몸이 약해졌다 = My brother got weaker.
As for the second question,
1. 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어요 = It's too far from my work to home. (plain fact)
2. 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요 = BECAUSE it's too far from my work to home. (answers a question)
#2 thus would be very strange if said in isolation with no one asking any question.
For example:
Q: 왜 이사하셨서요?
A1: 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서 이사했어요. (full answer - unnecessarily repeats the 이사했다 part)
A2: 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요. (optimal answer - says only the necessary part)
