Episode 9 of Welcome to Samdalri will continue to show an intensive search for Cho Sam-Dal’s mother, Go Mi-Ja. In the previous episode, Go Mi-Ja continues her job as a hanyeo (female divers who harvest sea life) despite her health condition. She suffers the same accident as that of Yong-Phil’s mother, Bu Mi-Ja, many years ago. Due to her weak heart, she is unable to come up and is lost in the sea. Meanwhile, the residents gather to look for her.
Sam-Dal, who has been unaware of her mother’s health, will discover the same after hearing from Yong-Phil. The latter, a weather forecaster, discovers the accident from the company cameras. All of them, including Sam-Dal’s family, rush to look for Go Mi-Jaa. In the newly released trailer, the residents look worried for her safety.
Cho Hae-Dal’s daughter worries that the sea will take away her grandmother. Meanwhile, the residents wonder if the sea has claimed another life. Yong-Phil assures a devastated Sam-Dal that her mother will be just fine. In another scene, Yong-Phil has an argument with his father about not being able to overcome grief. This scene only raises more anticipation around Bu Mi-Ja’s death and Yong-Phil and Sam-Dal’s break-up.
By the end of the trailer, a conversation between Go Mi-Ja and her granddaughter comes to light. Go Mi-Ja reveals how she’s most scared of the sea as it took away her best friend, Bu Mi-Jaa. The trailer ends with her sitting on the seashore and recalling her friend waving to her.
