Lying in the Sea Jeong Min-seok and Jang Woo-hee are a couple who travel all over the country with just a backpack on the weekends. They are so serious about backpacking that they even went backpacking around the country for their honeymoon. They say that on weekends, they choose isolation of their own accord and go deep into nature! When they are tired of work and want to get away from the complicated city, the couple looks for time to focus solely on 'themselves'. The place they found was Suu Island, a beautiful island in Tongyeong. As they gazed at the sea that changes every moment depending on the position of the sun, the worries of the world seemed to wash away, and the beautiful scenery of Suu Island, created by time and nature, was enough to enjoy the isolation in nature that they had dreamed of. They say that when you add the taste of the sea and the warmth of the kind people, you gain the strength to live again! A night on a rocky cliff where only the sea and I exist.

Friendship Thicker than Blood Bonghwa County, Gyeongbuk, considered a representative remote area in Korea. In a mountain valley 800 meters above sea level surrounded by rugged mountains, there are two men with a special relationship who are creating their own paradise. If you climb up the winding mountain, you will come across a small earthen house. This place, filled with the tranquility of nature, is the treasure trove of Lee Byeong-wook, who chose to isolate himself from the noise of the city. And every weekend, Lee Tae-woo chooses to isolate himself in nature with his friend. What does the winter of the remote village look like as depicted by the two men? The two have been in a relationship for 50 years since they were in the 5th grade of elementary school. They say that they can communicate with each other just by looking at each other’s eyes, and that they can’t help but smile just by looking at each other’s faces and that they can communicate with each other without having to express their feelings in words. Lee Byung-wook and Lee Tae-woo boast a friendship thicker than blood, saying that they would never mind giving their lives to each other, even if they didn’t necessarily contact each other. The special friendship of the two men who continue an isolated life that is even more enjoyable when they are together. We take a look at the bromance of middle-aged men blossoming in the remote area 800 meters above sea level. ■ (3) Part 3. Filling Me A dense forest of buildings, the noise of the city that pierces your ears, and a tight city life where it is difficult to even have a single space of your own. Jin Ok-hyun, who has been working in a forest of buildings for about 20 years, has always endured each day diligently, but one day, what suddenly came to her was not a reward or a sense of accomplishment, but ‘despair.’ She had been having a hard time with lethargy and depression since burnout, so she organized her long-time corporate life, turned off her cell phone, and chose isolation from the world to heal her body and mind. She said that by taking time to reflect on herself, she was able to fill her real self, not the 'self' that others see. What kind of isolation did Jin Ok-hyun choose to fill herself with? The first place she visited after leaving the city was Deogyusan in Muju, Jeollabuk-do, covered in pure white snow. The worries and concerns that had been covering her disappeared in the enchanting snowy landscape where all she could see was snow. If the worries that had been filling her up disappeared, it was time to fill her real 'self'. The place she turned her steps to was a small hermitage filled with tranquility! A special time to find her real self with Monk Jeongbo, who says that the process of making food itself is a practice. Let's follow her journey to fill her real 'self' in the clean nature. ■ (4) Part 4. A 4-hour boat ride from Mokpo, the island where love blooms. A small island floating in the middle of the vast ocean, Somado. There is a loving couple who have chosen to leave the complex city and live in a small island village. The main characters are Kim Young-seok and Jeon Jae-sook, who have chosen to isolate themselves in their hometown island village. The couple, who go out to sea every morning, spend their busy days catching fish as much as the sea gives them, cleaning the fish, and drying them in the sea breeze, feeling like they need two bodies, but their marriage has improved because they spend 24 hours a day together. Not only that. The couple also take on the role of children of the village elders while working at the sea. The joy of island life is growing as they spend affectionate time with the village elders. The loving couple who live in the middle of the ocean say that life in the city is more isolated. Their unique island life where love blossoms unfolds. ■ (5) Part 5. My Romantic Playground When I was young, I hated the mountain village so much. However, when I actually started living in the city, I started to miss the quiet mountain village. In the end, Jeong Su-yeong gave up all his life in the city and chose isolation in his hometown where his mother lives. Life in the mountains is busier than in the city. Even in winter, he has to climb up and down the mountain every day to prepare for farming and prepare for heavy snowfall. Although his daily life is nonstop from early morning to evening, his mind is more peaceful than ever. For him, the mountain is not just a workplace, but also a playground. He enjoys romance by installing a zip line on a slope, and in winter, he reminisces about his childhood at a sledding hill created by nature. We take a look into his daily life as he chooses isolation in the mountains and creates his own romantic playground. #TV로보보골라뎨도큐
