"Welcome to Samdal-ri" is set in Jeju Island. Jeju Island, the largest island in Korea, is famous as a tourist destination. The mothers of the characters in the drama work as haenyeo (female divers) in Jeju Island. Haenyeo refers to the culture of women diving into the sea to depths of up to 10 meters without oxygen masks to collect various seafood for their livelihood. Jeju Haenyeo culture in Korea was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016. Through "Welcome to Samdal-ri," you can also get a glimpse of Jeju Haenyeo culture.

Seoul is known for its high population density. Korea has a social problem in which the population is concentrated in the metropolitan area, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, while the provinces are neglected. Perhaps this is why many people dream of living in the provinces, escaping the busy and crowded city of Seoul. This desire of people often appears in works such as dramas. Recently, dramas depicting life in the provinces have become popular, possibly due to this trend. Some prominent examples include "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" and "Our Blues."

The drama "Welcome to Samdal-ri" can be watched on Netflix and TVING.
