The two butlers, one for the dead and the other for the living, join hands and team up to carry out the wishes of the terrifying, warm-hearted, eccentric, heart-numbing dead people. They figure out that death and life are two sides of a coin, and that the requests of the dead are messages to the living.

An employee at “Ildangbaek,” an errand running service, and ER resident at Eonju University Hospital

-
- Baek Dong-joo (Female, 25)
Funeral director at Onnuri Funeral Home, Eonju University Hospital
Dong-joo looks like a tender shoot in early spring, but is actually firm and strong. She lost her mother at an early age and was raised by her father. This could have flawed her character, but whether it’s because she was born with a warm personality or she takes after her kind father, she is an innocent girl. She always has to help when she sees someone in need. She also trusts others easily.
She has played table tennis for 15 years but ends up quitting table tennis due to an ankle injury. Having been an adventurer, she now wants to live an ordinary life and becomes a funeral director at a funeral home, an easy job to find. However, she finds out that she has a special ability after becoming a funeral director. She can talk to dead people. When her warm hands touch a deceased person’s face, the person comes back to life for a little while. She keeps her power a secret and is very careful not to let anyone find out, but Jib-sa ends up learning about her secret.
