Synopsis

After losing his mother, who worked as a haenyeo at a young age due to a mistaken weather report, Jo Yong-pil (Ji Chang-wook) makes up his mind to become a weather forecaster and protect the elders of his hometown. However, his passion and refusal to let misinformation slide earns him a reputation at work as a stubborn troublemaker who isn't afraid to argue with his boss.

Jo Sam-dal (Shin Hye-sun) grew up with Jo Yong-pil as his close childhood friend. Unlike Jo Yong-pil, content to remain in his hometown of Samdal-ri, Jo Sam-dal makes it her mission to get out of their small town and move to Seoul. After years of toiling away as an assistant in the fashion photography industry, Jo Sam-dal—who changes her name to Jo Eun-hye in Seoul—finally succeeds and makes it to the top. However, when everything she's worked so hard to build comes crashing down in the blink of an eye, she returns to Samdal-ri, where people still know her as Sam-dal and not Eun-hye.

Although Jo Yong-pil and Jo Sam-dal used to be joined at the hip when they were younger, the once inseparable friends are no longer in contact with one another due to an incident that drove them apart. When Jo Sam-dal returns to Samdal-ri, however, they find that the longtime affection they once had for one another comes rushing back all too easily.[1]
