The show, titled ‘Flowers Bloom Even in the Sand,’ is a fresh romantic drama that is about a journey of young individuals striving to make their mark in life within the world of ssireum, a traditional Korean wrestling sport. All of this takes place in Geosan, a city renowned for its love of ssireum.
