Synopsis

Shin Ok-hee, a frequent runaway and borderline delinquent, reluctantly relocates with her parents to their hometown of Seomwoldo, an island in the middle of nowhere. Her mother Yang Baek-hee (Becky) had left her hometown eighteen year previously as an unwed mother and under a cloud of scandal. In Seomwoldo, Ok-hee discovers that she has more in common with her mother than she knew, and encounters three men — all of whom believe themselves to be her biological father. In her attempts to discover her parentage, Ok-hee unlocks secrets that allow lives and loves to heal.
