Describe the creative idea

A 3-episode mini-series called “The Life Bureau” corresponding to the 3 key states of love in life: “Young singles”, “Newly-weds”, and “New parents”. It is an absurd, but real-life drama, and delves into resonant themes: freedom, marriage, and parenthood.

In “Life Bureau”, there are 5 departments—“marriage,” “love,” “work,” “illness,” and “reincarnation”—which plan the lives of all human. Each department fights openly and secretly, ​playing with human‘s fate. ​ It is an absurd, but real-life drama, and makes “HPV” the most crucial plot twist.

The story seems like life is all planned out by destiny, but the truth is, the one who can change those plans is none other than yourself!

We want everyone to know that destiny is not set in stone. For the sake of the people and things you love, you cannot let disease control you.
