An adaptation of the eponymous novels by Robyn Carr, Virgin River returns for a fourth outing. The season kickstarts with Mel unsure about who her unborn baby belongs to; her deceased husband, Mark, or the restaurant owner and former US Marine, Jack. However, she remains optimistic, ever closer to her dream of being a mother. Jack, on the other hand, is still on the ropes about all of it. The arrival of a new doctor further complicates the situation, and Mayor Hope, now dealing with a brain injury, recovers from her car crash. These plot lines interweave, forming an absorbing narrative that takes the characters to new highs and lows on their respective journeys.

Set in 1980, this show follows the romantic adventures of two medical students who would have had a perfectly normal life had it not been for the Gwangju Uprising. Hwang Hee-Tae, a scholar at Seoul National University College of Medicine, runs an illegal clinic for students evading the government. To keep up his end of a deal he made with his father, he meets a potential marital prospect in exchange for helping an injured factory worker move out of town. There, he runs into Myung-Hee, a determined nurse fighting the hardships of an impoverished life. She shows up in place of Hee-Tae’s actual date (who is her friend) to earn some extra money. It is then that fate plays its game as the duo find themselves unexpectedly falling for each other.
