Cho Sam-dal, a photographer who once left her Jeju home village to make it big in Seoul, loses everything and returns to Samdal-ri. There she reunites with Cho Yong-pil, a weather forecaster who stayed behind to keep watch over their hometown, and together they catch their breath and rediscover their dreams and love.
The oreum hills, beaches and shady old hackberry trees of Jeju's eastern villages shape the drama's fictional hometown of 'Samdal-ri.' Climb Dodu Peak to watch planes drift across the sky, then follow the blue waves along Gimnyeong Beach to walk the very path home that the characters take.
Where to watch
Filming Locations
도두봉 제주시 도두일동
The spot where a young Sam-dal sat beside Yong-pil, watching planes cross the sky and dreaming of leaving for Seoul. A gentle oreum near Jeju Airport, its summit opens onto a sweeping view of the Jeju sea.
김녕해변 제주시 구좌읍 김녕리
An emerald-water beach where a red lighthouse meets rows of wind turbines. This coastal scenery captures the mood of the drama's Samdal-ri village and appears as the backdrop for several scenes.
평대리 팽나무 제주시 구좌읍 평대리
The old hackberry tree of Pyeongdae-ri, where villagers gather to rest. It appears in the drama as a symbol of the warm communal spirit of a Jeju village.
오조포구 서귀포시 성산읍 오조리
The site of the convenience store set where Sam-dal and her friends often gather. A warehouse along Jeju Olle Trail Course 2 was remodeled for filming, set against the quiet scenery of the harbor.
