Tamra, the island

A blonde blue-eyed foreigner named William washes up on the shore of Jeju's Tamra Island. Beo Jin, a local native Jeju woman diver, rescues William and takes him into hiding.

Beo Jin returns after an exhausting sea expedition. She feels she never live up to her mother's high expectations. She pleads with William to take her with him when he leaves.

Beo Jin does all the housework for Park Gyu, an exiled nobleman, in order to stop him from reporting her hiding William. She guards the village storehouse with Won Bin. During their watch, gifts for the king are stolen, leading to Won Bin's arrest.

Park Gyu starts an investigation for the recent burglary. When the government troops find out about Ahn's shelter, he attempts to flee Tamra island with a raft.

Kkeut-boon, jealous of Beo Jin who got a chance to represent the village in a diving contest, gives her a cup of seaweed tea poisoned with laxatives. Park Gyu gets William to perform CPR on Beo Jin after she passes out underwater.

Chi Yong, a member of merchants' army, disguised as a government inspector, disrupts the investigation on burglary.
