Jikji

It simultaneously shows that human love and the Buddha's mercy aren't different through Myo-Duk, who achieved the way of love and Baek-Woon, who achieved the way of victory and Buddhahood to save people from a dark age. It also tells about the chronicle life and love of them two and focuses on the heartbreaking love story of them who transcend their status.[citation needed] Baek-Woon (played by Kim Jin-keun) was born as the youngest son of a poor family at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty and was raised by his grandmother. When his old mother suffers from the limitations of their status, she sends him to the temple at the age of 15 to follow the path of a monk. In the progress, Baek-Woon then meets Myo-Duk (played by Han-Min), the daughter of a prestigious family, by chance while training at a mountain temple. Myo-duk has an outstanding talent for her thrifty family, but her mother, who was her filial piety, died early and her concubine grew up in her hands, so she had a crooked personality. She used her beauty to make a prank on the children of her nobility, but she is in a state of self-defense. Later, they fall in fateful love, but when Baek-Woon leaves the temple for the capital, Myo-Duk becomes a monk herself and to be with him and create the "Jikji".
