The drama has started filming in Jeju Island in June, and a group photo of Ji Changxu was uploaded by the cast a while ago.In the photo, even though Ji Chang Wook is wearing a tacky outfit, it's hard to stop his handsome appearance~ And a few days ago, a clear photo of the male and female protagonists in the same frame was posted on the Internet!Shin Hye Sun and Ji Chang Wook were seen walking on the beach in casual clothes.

Recently, some netizens once again released the second wave of Reuters. Although the picture quality this time is a bit blurry, you can clearly hear the lines they said.In the video, the two had a quarrel in the community. Shin Hye Sun walked forward quickly and angrily, while Ji Chang Wook, who was following her, seemed to be jealous and said: "So what, I'm not curious at all!"%I feel that the overall atmosphere of this drama is somewhat similar to that of Coast Village Cha Cha Cha, and I am looking forward to it even more!!

    1. Have you ever stepped on shit?Although I feel disgusted and irritated when I step on it, I can’t let it ruin my whole day!You have to wipe it clean quickly and continue to do what you need to do.

    Bad things are inevitable in life, but people with a strong mentality will never be tripped up by bad things. When bad things happen, they will treat it as if they have stepped on shit. They can only get rid of the bad emotions as soon as possible and focus on the work in front of them.When Zhao Sanda faced his apprentice Fang Enzhu (played by Zhao Yinrui) who posted his boyfriend without any apology, although he was angry and sad, he still asked himself to adjust back to work immediately.

    2. In my hometown of Jeju Island, when training haenyeo, the most emphasized sentence is: Don’t be greedy for a day, and stay in the water as long as you can hold your breath. In the sea that seems calm but is actually extremely dangerous,Only work as hard as you can breathe.Then when you can't hold on any longer, return to the surface where you came from and adjust your breathing.%

    Faced with the overwhelming betrayal and accusations, and the departure of his former work partners and close friends, Zhao Sanda had no choice but to flee back to his hometown.And the aphorisms and mottos of the training of haenyeo in my hometown are not the truth of life. After all, people are not machines for work and emotionless doormats in interpersonal relationships. We have emotions, self-esteem, persistence, and weakness. When we are tired, weRest, and when you can't bear it anymore, go back to a place where you can feel at ease and take a breather.

    3. People who I don’t need to explain to them are asking desperately, and people who I want to explain to them have no one to listen to me.

    Have you ever felt this depressed?I hope that people who can explain and talk will not want to listen to you, but people who eat melons are always asking questions. Who is an adult out of society who has not had such troubles?When Zhao Sanda returned to her hometown, it was already chilling to face the indifference of her colleagues for more than ten years and the bloody pursuit of reporters. The silence of her mother and her childhood classmates made her even more heartbroken.Being misunderstood by those close to you is more uncomfortable than being gossiped about by passers-by.

    4. Pretending to be happy or fine is not like you. That is what you need to do for work.

    After taking off your work mask, can you honestly face your own vulnerability and helplessness?In order to put a smile on your face for work, no matter what bullshit you encounter, you can only deal with it positively. But when you come back to life, you don’t have to pretend to be strong. Just like Zhao Yongbi said, those disguises are just for work, not for real life.of myself.

    5. You are a victim. Why should victims feel ashamed?The victim does not need to feel ashamed, you are innocent.

    In this society, it is often difficult to distinguish between black and white, good and evil. People who do evil are justified, while honest and peaceful people may feel inferior and ashamed because of being bullied.Zhao Rongbi felt uncomfortable all the time after seeing Zhao Sanda return to Jeju Island, and even always felt embarrassed, so he spoke his heartfelt words.The reason why this passage is more powerful than comfort is because it is the truth!

    6. I just miss you so much. I’m not happy because you failed and came back. How could I want you to fail?Although I occasionally feel sad because you are gradually becoming like a person from a different world, we still support you every day and are proud of you.

    Friends who met when they were young are the strongest. The affection they have grown up with is worth a thousand words. Even if they annoy each other with their jokes, and even if there are barriers and distances as adults, their care for each other will never change. In the play, EagleSuch is the relationship between the five brothers.

    7. From now on, I want to live my life as I want.What I don’t want to do, I won’t do until the day I die.

    In this world, living as you please is an extremely luxurious thing for most people. For the sake of marriage, family, friends or anything precious and wanted to protect, everyone has unknown compromises and tolerances, but when the tolerance reaches the upper limit,Can you let yourself go like your eldest sister Zhao Zhenda and let your life regain freedom?

    8. Even if you are angry, you have to be patient and suppress it, pretend to be fine, and pretend to be majestic. This is how I got through it all the way, but at a certain moment I found that I seemed to have changed too much.

    In order to reach the other side of dreams, people can make a lot of efforts and concessions, suppress their emotions, compromise on extra entertainment, and give up the rest they deserve, because we all firmly believe that only by enduring what others cannot bear, we will fly further.Far, higher.But when looking back on the journey, I unknowingly forgot about my original self. When Zhao Sanda looked back on his eighteen-year career, he couldn't help but feel regretful that he had changed a lot.

    9. What disappears is the dream, not the real you.So let’s find it together!Not the photographer Zhao Enhui, but the real Zhao Sanda.

    However, the disappearance of dreams does not mean that we have to lose ourselves.Maybe we have all been lost, but the only guide who can lead the lost self back to the original path is still ourselves.So don’t be afraid if you feel like you have lost yourself, just find your true self, just like Zhao Sanda took back his original point-and-shoot camera and took pictures of the scenery of his hometown. That is the starting point of all dreams and the proof of his first love.

    10. It’s not that I don’t want to eat, it’s that I can’t eat. I have to have time to eat.I’m thankful just to be able to go home every day. I don’t have time to eat that.

    Anyone who is a social worker will understand that it’s not that they don’t want to get off work on time, but that they can’t get off work when the time comes; it’s not that they don’t eat well, it’s that they are still busy during meal time; it’s not that they don’t sleep well, it’s that they are flooded with messages at night.How many people have sacrificed their lives for work, just for their dreams or just for food and clothing? Zhao Sanda calmly told her mother the reason why she was not allowed to bring side dishes to Seoul. Isn't this the daily life of countless sad workers?

    11. People will always encounter many storms when they live in the world. Even if you think alone, there will still be no answers to things that have no answers. It will only make you keep having strange thoughts.

    There are no standard answers in life. There are some things that you may not be able to find even if you try hard.

    There are many things that you may not necessarily have answers to if you think about them. Life is not like writing a test paper, and sometimes the answers may not be important. But when you are deeply involved in it, you will inevitably feel confused and unconsciously internal.When you can't think of an answer, it's better to complain to a friend or cry out loud!After all, there is no solution to the unsolvable matter, but we still have a beautiful world waiting to be explored.

    12. You are not here to travel, relax!You can go wherever you want, wear whatever you want, and eat whatever you want. This is your hometown. Live your life however you want and wear whatever you want. No one will say anything to you.

    A wanderer in a foreign land who has not returned home for a long time will inevitably feel the same embarrassment as Zhao Sanda. He always feels that others see him in a different light. He is carrying a burden that others cannot see clearly, and he cannot feel at ease wherever he goes.The words of good friend Sang-do (played by Kang Young-seok) revealed Samda's situation. If you can't feel at home, where can you take a breather?When you get home, let go of other people’s opinions!

    13. An ex-boyfriend is worse than a stranger, because the reasons for breaking up will never disappear no matter how much time passes.

    Are you the type who may rekindle an old relationship after a breakup?Facing the pursuit of her ex-boyfriend Zhao Rongbi, Zhao Sanda once said that because the reasons for the breakup will not disappear, the two people who reunited will only have more hardships. Do you agree?Or are you like Cho Yong Pil, who thinks that as long as two people work hard, they can overcome the reasons for breaking up because the memories of love are more powerful?

    14. Is it only meaningful to make money?There are many things in this world that cannot make money, but are very meaningful, okay?

    Once upon a time, our values ​​​​were replaced by price. This is true for objects and people.A 29-year-old working part-time to raise a child is considered not to have a plan for his own life. A graduate from a prestigious university and working in a non-profit organization are ridiculed as an unprofitable job. But is it really only money that is important in our lives?Letting go of the shackles and obsession of money, can we also be like our younger sister Zhao Haida (played by Kang Mina) and “Dolphin Center” representative Kong Jican (played by Kim Min-cheol), and move forward bravely when we find something truly worth pursuing in life.

    15. It doesn’t matter if no one protects me, because I have someone to protect, and I have you.Human beings are like this. If they have something they must protect, they will become very strong.

    Maybe no one is strong by nature, but once there are people and things that need to be protected, courage and strength will arise. For Zhao Rongbi, this is true for Zhao Sanda and Ms. Gao Meizi (played by Kim Meiqing) who are as close as mother; for Zhao Haida, the only biological childThe same goes for daughter Cha Ha-yul (played by Kim Do-eun).The two-way protective love between the mother and daughter Zhao Haida and Cha Helu in the play is like the epitome of the love of thousands of families. We can always become stronger for the people we love deeply.
