Storyline:
The movie depicts the ups and downs of the relationship that two women born in 1988, Mi-so (Kim Da-mi) and Ha-eun (Jeon So-nee) go through as they grow up. The world between the two of them suffers a microscopic crack when Ha-eun starts her first love with her classmate Jin-woo (Byeon Woo-seok) in their late teens. The free-spirited Mi-so leaves for the city to pursue an adventurous life while Ha-eun stays in her hometown to lead a stable life, and the two gradually grow apart. The Chinese original setting, which emphasizes the physical distance between provinces and large cities, is newly implemented in Soulmate with Jeju Island as the background.
