Hae-sun, a girl from a seaside village, marries Seong-gu and becomes a widow three months later. When the wanderer Sang-su falls in love with Hae-sun, Seong-oh stops working because he adores his sister-in-law. Hae-sun refuses Sang-su's request to leave the seaside village, but when her mother-in-law finds out about their relationship, she leaves the seaside village. Hae-sun and Sang-su go to the market and follow their friend Kim Ga, who is a Simmani, to the mountains. When Sang-su, who discovered wild ginseng, is caught up in the Kim family's trick and has the wild ginseng taken away, Hae-sun, tired of her wandering life, misses the sea. Meanwhile, while digging for wild ginseng on a cliff, Sangsu falls off the cliff and dies while holding the wild ginseng in his hand, and Hae-sun returns to the seaside village in despair over everything.
