Ji Chang Wook to Transform Into Weather Forecaster, Shin Hye Sun Becomes Fashion Photographer
Ji Chang Wook is Jo Yong Pil, a man who has faithfully stayed in his hometown all his life in order to protect its residents. After his mother died, at a young age due to a mistaken weather report, Jo Yong Pil decides to pursue a career in weather forecasting and protect the elders of his hometown.
Despite the enthusiasm he had at the beginning, his passion and refusal to let misinformation slide earns him a reputation at work.
Opposite him is Shin Hye Sun who will immerse herself in the character of Jo Sam Dal. She grew up with Jo Yong Pil. Unlike him, who was content in his life in the countryside, Jo Sam Dal had a goal to get out of their small town and move to Seoul.
Years after working as an assistant in the fashion photography industry, Jo Sam Dal changes her name to Jo Eun Hye in Seoul and succeeds to make it to the top.
Unfortunately, when everything she's worked for comes crashing down in the blink of an eye, she returns to Jeju, where people still recognize her as Sam Dal and not Eun Hye.
Even though Jo Sam Dal and Jo Yong Pil used to be close friends when they were younger, they are no longer in contact with each other due to an incident that drove them apart.
