Standing Sleeping Tree(2010)

Standing Sleeping Tree is a South Korean drama that weaves together love, loyalty, and sacrifice. Goo-sang is a firefighter battling an incurable disease, devoted to his wife Soon-yeong and daughter Seul-gi. His closest friend Seok-woo harbors a secret: he's in love with Soon-yeong. When Goo-sang discovers the truth, he makes an unexpected request—should he die during surgery, Seok-woo must care for his family. The fragile balance between the three shatters when a massive fire erupts on Seul-gi's birthday, forcing both men toward the flames. Standing Sleeping Tree explores how catastrophe tests the bonds between those we trust most, examining whether duty and love can coexist when everything is at stake.
