The published stills show the realistic portrayal of the busy day of Lee Jung Eun's character, from early morning visit to the auction house of the best fishes, and to her daily life as a hard-working merchant.
Jung Eun Hee is a self-made store owner with a diligent nature. Because of her hard work, she now owns several fish stores in the heart of Jeju.
She has been working without fail to make ends meet, which is the main reason why she never married. Jung Eun Hee lives a romance-free and barren life.
But it all changes when Choi Han Soo (Cha Seung Won), her first and only love, returns to the island one day, awakening the dormant feelings she has for the man.
Lee Jung Eun is a critically acclaimed actress who showed off her versatility and skills through many popular works like "Mr. Sunshine," "Parasite" and most recently "Juvenile Justice."
