Description:

A compelling medical drama explores the unique journey of a man driven by a childhood tragedy to become both a Buddhist monk and an emergency doctor. Haunted by his inability to save a friend, he dedicates his life to preserving life and comforting the dying. Working tirelessly at a hospital, he skillfully treats emergency patients while also providing spiritual care, chanting sutras for the deceased in the morgue, and offering psychological support to terminally ill patients. His unconventional approach, often appearing in his monk's robes in the ER, frequently leads to amusing misunderstandings where patients mistakenly believe they have died. Despite facing skepticism and dislike from both patients and colleagues for his blend of medicine and spiritual preaching, his cheerful and sincere nature shines through. This heartfelt story follows his growth as he navigates the complex challenges of life, death, and healing, learning how to truly save lives, honor final moments, and support grieving families.
