"There is no such thing as a coincidence. Every way is predetermined. Everything happens when it has to. In the right place at the right time. As if the carpet of the world were a network of infinite threads. Everyone in their place. But very few of us know where our journey is going."
The series also focuses on the cycle of life and it is said that "not only does the past [influence] the future, but the future also influences the past."
