Yoon Hye-jin (Shin Min-a), an intelligent and pretty dentist living in the big city, loses her job after she righteously accuses the corrupt head doctor of profiteering. She embarks on a trip to the idyllic seaside village of Gongjin, where she meet...
It’s Doo-shik’s birthday, so Hye-jin cooks seaweed soup. Mi-sun side-eyes the concoction, but Hye-jin force-feeds her some anyway before skipping over to Doo-shik’s with thermos in hand. When she arrives, there’s a whole party already underway, and Doo-shik explains that the villagers do this for him every year. As Hwa-jung serves her own seaweed soup, Chun-jae leads everyone in singing Happy Birthday. Doo-shik smiles broadly while protesting that they really don’t have to do this (they assure him he deserves it). After he blows out the candles, everyone insists Hye-jin help him cut the first slice of cake.

The couple slips inside to get watermelon, and he notices her thermos. Hye-jin hesitates, since he’s already eaten seaweed soup, but he just says there’s nothing wrong with having a second bowl and happily drinks it down. Meanwhile, at home, Mi-sun rinses her mouth out, complaining that no one deserves to eat something so salty. Doo-shik gives no sign, though he does refuse to let Hye-jin try any of it.

When they reappear outside with the watermelon, everyone starts making up excuses to leave early. Yoon-kyung, Geum-chul, and a sleepy Bora are the last to leave, and as they make their way home, Yoon-kyung asks Geum-chul if they can go on a date this weekend. With the baby coming soon, it might be their last chance for some alone time for a while. But Geum-chul tells her to rest instead.
Hye-jin wishes Doo-shik a private happy birthday. She also notices a new addition to his wine shelf, which he says is for her – but she’ll have to wait a year for it to get sweet enough. Hye-jin sticks a label on the bottle to mark it as hers, and sentimentally wonders what things will be like a year from now. Doo-shik looks thoughtful… and repeats that the wine will be sweeter by then.
