SYNOPSIS
Sol and Dong grow up on a quiet fishing island with their father, their days shaped by the rhythm of the sea and each other's company. Everything changes when a white puppy arrives at their door, and the brothers welcome him into their family as Max. For a brief moment, their small world feels complete. Then tragedy strikes: their father vanishes into the ocean, and in the chaos that follows, Max is torn away from the only home he knows. Separated and alone, the puppy must navigate an unfamiliar world with nothing but fragmented memories of Sol and Dong to sustain him. Max's journey becomes a battle against impossible odds, driven by an instinctive pull toward the island and the two boys who loved him. The series follows his struggle to survive and find his way back, each obstacle testing whether love and memory can be stronger than distance and despair. This is a story about loyalty, loss, and the unbreakable bonds that persist even when everything falls apart.
