He sees her worried self and asks if he has made her angry and she denies the same before the two head to her work. Yong-pil changes the buoy cover for Mi-ja while Sang-do is annoyed by the gossip among the other divers who can’t stop talking about Sam-dal and Yong-pil.

However, seeing Ji-chan there, Ha-yul calls Jin-dal mother which comes as a shock for the two. Later, she tells him that Ha-yul is her niece and it would be better for him to leave before her parents catch him.
Dae-young tells her that he was happy when he saw her but she reminds him of the mess that he needs to deal with which was created by her. Right then, her father appears and she rushes him away, while elsewhere Sam-dal gets hold of a diary containing information about a person suffering from a heart disease.

Welcome to Samdal-ri Episode 8 Review
Another look into the past leaves us thinking that maybe it is Mi-ja who is the target of Sang-tae’s resentment, and the burden is left to be borne by Sam-dal and Yong-pil. This episode throws another ray of light on their past which once again catches our curiosity.
On the other hand, our little cupid Ha-yul’s efforts seem to be going in vain as her mother and aunt are unable to understand what she has been doing. Meanwhile, Sang-do’s efforts are making our hearts break because we all know that he can never be what Yong-pil is to Sam-dal.
This has been another episode filled with ups and downs, along with just the perfect amount of comedy and intensity that makes us keep watching the show.
