Happy Island

After seven years away from home to fulfill his dream of swimming, Xiaozhi finally returned to Azure Bay with broken ideals and exhaustion due to the accidental death of his parents. He works as a dedicated lifeguard on the beach during the day, and in the afternoon he helps Aunt Meizhu, who treats him as one of his own, take care of the B&B. His childhood sweetheart Lan Haiqian is already a neat haenyeo, but Aunt Meizhu's daughter Ari has a cold and distant attitude, which has become an intractable knot in his life back home. The poor soundproofing of the B&B made the noise of strange couples late at night become the norm, but it also unexpectedly tore away the pretense of a peaceful life. When Xiaozhi bumps into Aunt Meizhu murmuring his name in the room, when Ari's hostility seems to hide unspoken thoughts, and when Lan Haiqian's gentle companionship seems to have a different kind of emotion flowing, this island that carries childhood memories suddenly becomes complicated and ambiguous. The ripples of returning home spread layer by layer, carrying family affection, love and desire. Xiaozhi stood on this familiar beach, not knowing how to face everything that was surging in front of him.
