Welcome to Samdalri revolves around Civil Servant Jo Yong Pil (Ji Chang Wook), who makes a conscious decision to stay in his hometown of Samdalri on Jeju Island all his life to protect its residents, as he loves small streams, which signifies he doesn’t have big-city ambitions. Shin Hye Sun plays Jo Sam Dal, who grew up together with Jo Yong Pil as his close childhood friend, and their friendship translated into a relationship, only to result in the heartbreak of their lifetime. Unlike Yong Pil, Sam Dal wants to make it big in her life, and she makes it her mission to get out of their small town and move to Seoul.
