On February 6, JTBC released the first teaser video for its upcoming romance drama “Heavenly Ever After.”
“Heavenly Ever After” is a new drama by director Kim Suk Yoon who helmed various hit series including “Radiant” (also known as “The Light in Your Eyes”), “Law School,” and “My Liberation Notes.” The drama depicts a transcendent romance about a protagonist who reunites with their loved one in heaven after death.
Kim Hye Ja takes on the role of Lee Hae Sook, an 80-year-old woman who reunites with her husband, now a young man, in heaven. After her husband’s sudden accident, Lee Hae Sook is forced to become the head of the household overnight. Upon her death at the age of 80, she heads to her husband in heaven, but unlike others, she retains her age and begins a second life in heaven as her true self. “Heavenly Ever After” marks the reunion of veteran actress Kim Hye Ja and director Kim Suk Yoon as well as writers Lee Nam Gyu and Kim Soo Jin, who previously worked together on “Radiant.”
Son Suk Ku plays Go Nak Joon, Lee Hae Sook’s devoted husband and a heavenly mailman who delivers letters of earthly wishes. Having passed away before his beloved wife, he builds a beautiful home in heaven and waits for the day he can reunite with her. However, the youthful and vibrant 30-something Go Nak Joon finds himself unexpectedly navigating life in heaven alongside the 80-year-old Lee Hae Sook, leading to an unforeseen and unique heavenly experience. Son Suk Ku, who gained popularity for his role as Mr. Gu in “My Liberation Notes,” also reunites with director Kim Suk Yoon after three years, adding to the anticipation for this special on-screen couple.
The first teaser video highlights the unique and otherworldly chemistry between Lee Hae Sook and Go Nak Joon as a married couple. The scene begins on a subway during the late afternoon. Under the warm hues of the setting sun, Lee Hae Sook’s solitary words, “I wonder if heaven really exists,” echo emptily. As if to answer her question, the train she is on passes through the boundary between life and death and finally arrives at her destination, “Heaven Station.”
