Plot

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.

Ae-sun is rebellious but gets nervous every time she rebels. She isn't well off but is always shining and full of positivity. She dreams of becoming a poet, although she is unable to attend school, and she is a bold character who doesn't hide any emotions. Gwan-sik is an extremely diligent and quiet character. Romance isn't a strength for him, however, and he doesn't know how to act if Ae-sun cries or laughs, but he is a silent warrior who only loves Ae-sun from the very beginning and pours his all into loving her.
