Welcome to Samdal-ri 웰컴투 삼달리
A disgraced Seoul photographer retreats to her Jeju hometown and rediscovers the weatherman who never stopped loving her. A gentle homecoming story wrapped in island light.
Why fans make the trip
Samdal-ri is a tour of Jeju's quieter face — a hidden cypress forest, a mountainside temple, wind-turbine coasts and tiny harbors. Official Jeju tourism maps every location, making this the easiest island drama trail to follow.

When Life Gives You Tangerines
This is Jeju's love letter to itself: stone-walled villages, canola fields and haenyeo shores. Jeju tourism surged after release, and following Ae-sun's island — orchards, coasts and all — is the most emotional route on this site.

Our Blues
The drama's Pureung Village is stitched from real western Jeju: a gold-sand beach facing Biyangdo and the five-day market culture its Seopseop Market recreates. It's Jeju at its most lived-in.
