Synopsis
Won (Naret Promphaopun) is an anesthesiologist who lost his great love in a tragic accident and was falsely accused of murder. On the verge of taking his own life, he encounters a Grim Reaper named Sibsi (Krittin Kitjaruwannakul), who bears the exact face of his deceased lover. The Reaper repeatedly stops him from dying, revealing that their fates are intertwined.
As the story unfolds, Won must fight to prove his innocence while uncovering the mysterious rules of death and the hidden truth behind the accident. Between the world of the living and the dead, an unexpected connection emerges — one that may lead him back to love, truth, and the will to live again.[1]
