Synopsis
Korean medical student falls for ex-Kumari in Nepal, facing destiny and impossible sacrifice for love.
For her sake, he would sacrifice everything... While volunteering in Nepal, Korean medical student Sangmin Han encounters Sita, a young woman with a mysterious past as a former Kumari—a prepubescent girl worshipped as the living vessel of a goddess. Their connection transcends cultural boundaries, and their lives become intertwined in ways neither could have imagined. As their relationship deepens, Sangmin discovers that Sita carries the weight of a destiny shaped by ancient traditions and spiritual forces beyond his understanding. When faced with an impossible choice that could change everything, Sangmin must decide how much he's willing to give up for love. Set against the backdrop of Nepal's rich spiritual heritage and the clash between tradition and modern life, this is a tale of devotion that spans time and challenges the very nature of sacrifice, destiny, and what it means to love someone beyond all reason.
