The first episode of a special feature explores the lives of a man and his dog, Seomdori, living on the uninhabited island of Sogakssido in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do. After leaving the mainland 12 years ago, the man has been maintaining a small schoolhouse as his home while living alongside his loyal companion.
Part 1! Sogakssido's only best friend, Seomdori, and the man.
A vast sea that resembles the vast autumn sky, and an island—another world—that can only be met after passing through it. In that place where the eyes of the mainland do not reach, how are the animals living together with people! The first story of the special prepared for autumn begins.
Today's destination is the small island located in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, Sogakssido! The protagonist of today is the man, the sole resident of the once uninhabited Sogakssido. After traveling by boat with the man for about 30 minutes, a dog comes out to greet them from the pier visible in the distance. The fellow who sends a passionate welcome greeting as soon as one sets foot on the island is named Seomdori. How did the man and his only best friend, Seomdori, form a bond on this uninhabited island?
The man, who worked as a diver for 10 years, happened to encounter Sogakssido, and since then, he left the mainland and is now in his 12th year of island life. Using a small schoolhouse that had been empty for decades as his nest, he lives by personally handling everything from repairs to procuring electricity. Many things on the uninhabited island, which has become the stage for the second act of his life, are precious, but among them, the man's number one treasure is undoubtedly Seomdori! Seomdori, who has always stayed by his side whether it rains or snows, is more than just family to the man.
Meanwhile, another boat approaches the uninhabited island. The man, who had briefly gone ashore, has returned bringing guests who came to go fishing. It is said that among the guests, rumors like legends regarding Seomdori are circulating. What kind of abilities will the veteran 'island dog' Seomdori, who knows Sogakssido inside and out, show off? The uninhabited island life of Seomdori and the man, living in their own paradise fenced in by the blue sea, will be revealed this week on
