Overview
In Jeju, a spirited girl and a steadfast boy's island story blossoms into a lifelong tale of setbacks and triumphs — proving love endures across time.
The island of Jeju serves as more than just a backdrop in this drama. It acts as a grounding force for the relationship between a spirited girl and a steadfast boy, framing their journey through decades of life. The storytelling leans into the bittersweet reality of aging, pairing the quiet intensity of first love with the practical complications of raising a family.

It is a slow, steady examination of how people remain tethered to one another despite the passage of time.
