Ji Chang Wook And Shin Hye Sun Find Their Way Back To Each Other In New "Welcome To Samdalri" Posters

Nov 21, 2023

JTBC has released a new set of posters for its upcoming drama “Welcome to Samdalri”!

Helmed by “When the Camellia Blooms” director Cha Young Hoon, “Welcome to Samdalri” is a romance drama starring Ji Chang Wook as Jo Yong Pil, a man who has faithfully stayed in his hometown on Jeju Island all his life in order to protect its residents. Shin Hye Sun will star as Jo Sam Dal, who grew up together with Jo Yong Pil as his close childhood friend.

In his character poster, Yong Pil wears a sunny smile as he welcomes his ex-girlfriend Sam Dal back to their hometown after many years. While Sam Dal’s personal mission was to get out of their small town and make it big in Seoul, Yong Pil’s dream was to stay in Samdalri and protect it. As a warm, caring person who takes great care of the elderly villagers in their town, Yong Pil is the life of every party in Samdalri.

His poster’s caption reads, “You who have returned to me, welcome back.”

Unlike Yong Pil, who was content to remain in their hometown, Sam Dal moved to Seoul in order to chase her dream of becoming a big-time photographer. After years of hard work, Sam Dal succeeded and made it to the top under the new name Jo Eun Hye. However, when everything’s she worked so hard to build comes crashing down in the blink of an eye, she is forced to return to Samdalri.

Although Sam Dal initially expects to be unhappy after moving back to Samdalri, she unexpectedly finds comfort and inner peace in her hometown—and after healing by Yong Pil’s side, she finds the strength to start anew. In her poster’s caption, she declares, “I’ve returned to you.”

A final poster captures former couple Yong Pil and Sam Dal reuniting eight years after they last spoke. As they meet once again with nervous smiles, the once inseparable besties and exes seem to have put their painful breakup behind them.

Although they have a complicated history, the poster’s caption playfully hints at the possibility of Yong Pil and Sam Dal rekindling their romance, reading, “Long time no see, crazy person that I once loved.”
