Although a bank manager Han Su is as poor as a mouse. Besides himself, his money goes to his family and his daughter's golf expenses.
He goes back home to Jeju to look for a greener pasture. On the other hand, Lee Dong Seok (Lee Byung Hun) returns to Jeju with his truck filled with various items to sell.
Choi Han Su Meets Jung Eun Hui After Years

He then meets his old friend, Eun Hui, who looks very much delighted with his return. She asks him to give her a call as they go about their day separately.
Han Su didn't want to compare but he wonders about what he did wrong to live a penniless life, borrowing money from his friends, while his old friend Eun Hui became a billionaire by simply living at Jeju.
A Glimpse To Choi Han Su and Jung Eun Hui's Past

She has always been a straightforward person. During their high school days, Eun Hui asks Han Su to be her boyfriend, and kisses him on the lips to seal the deal.
Though it may sound silly, Eun Hui cherished her heart-fluttering moments with Han Su, her first and true love.
Now an adult, Eun Hui is still unmarried. She lived her life paying back to her parents and giving her siblings the best lives.
