The MBC Special introduces the viewers to a new style of documentary; one without any narration.
Since its start in 1985 with , the human documentary genre has always used a narrative voice to help the viewers understand someone's life story. Producer Yoon Young-gwan who has searched for a creative change in documentary production said, " I just want to deliver someone's life story as it really is to the viewers."

A 70-year-old man, a 14-year-old middle schooler, a 23-year-old college student, a 36-year-old copywriter and a 48-year-old housewife; these people with different backgrounds decide to have their heads shaved all at same time. Their 30-day-long religious training finally starts. When they get their heads shaved, they bow after every three steps they take. Then, they receive novice ordination and their Buddhist names.
What made them decide to participate in this training in the first place? What was going on in their minds? The production team closely follows their 30 days with HD cameras.

* The Meaning
Their day starts at 4 o'clock in the morning by holding worship in front of Buddha's image. Then, followed by a food offering, fulfilling their assigned work around the temple and their Buddhist scripture studies, their training continues all day without a break. Some people burst into tears as they complete their 3000 mandatory evening bows. Two weeks later, by Chuseok, some of them couldn't keep up with the hard training and decided to leave the temple. Then what is the meaning of this ascetic practice To find the answers to that question, the production team will follow people who go back to their normal lives after completing the training.

*A Documentary that Appeals to Your Heart
contains the real sounds of the scene, interviews and subtitles to capture the very atmosphere of the location. Also, it relies heavily upon music to better show people's feelings and the situations they encounter.
To create the right music for each situation, the main theme songs ( Leaving home, Remembering the first mind, and Ascetic Practice-Looking for a heart) are newly composed for this documentary. These 3 songs were written by producer Yoon Young-gwan and composed by music director Han Moon-hui. Also, in order to find the voices matching the characteristics of the program, new singers were selected.
They are Jeong Bong-won, who appeared in the musical , Lee Jeong-eun, who is a graduate school student, and Lee Ji-hye. Unlike most documentary music used as a background effect, these songs greatly contribute to better understanding of the program.
Following the postulants' changes in feelings and attitudes over a 30-day period without any narrative filtering was a new and experimental step in documentary production.
