Shin Hye-sun plays Cho Sam dal who is a successful photographer in Seoul when she is falsely accused of driving an assistant to attempt suicide, the media and many of her friends turn against her and drag her two sisters into the witch hunt. To escape the media attention they all head back to their parents house in the town of Samdal-ri on Jeju Island, their mother is played by everyone's favourite mother Kim Mi-Kyung who is not best pleased to see them all. On the Island is a weather forecaster Cho Yong-Pil (Ji Chang-wook) the ex boyfriend of Sam dal who has kept her in his heart for the eight years they have been apart. This romantic drama is something we have seen many times with the city folks finding solace in the camaraderie of rural folk and offers nothing really new. What you do get though is a superb cast, a well written script and endearing stories of healing that will surely warm your heart and have you cheering for the folks of Samdal-ri.
