About this drama

This drama is a love story based on the facts and truth, set in a church near the World Trade Center, about a firefighter who died in the line of duty in a rescue operation against terrorism and his bereaved family. The sorrow of losing a beloved family member and the truth that we have lived in different periods and countries as everlasting lives should be equally the same for people from any country. If we stand on such a point, sad incidents like terrorism will never happen. There are still wars and terrorism in various places around the world. We need to join hands and respect each other as a family living on the same Earth over the differences of race, culture, and religion, not to fight each other. It's precisely the future of the Earth we must choose. We would like to convey that through this drama.
