Kim Hye Ja Is Overjoyed To Reunite With Husband Son Suk Ku In Heaven In "Heavenly Ever After"
JTBC’s upcoming drama “Heavenly Ever After” has shared a new glimpse of Kim Hye Ja in her leading role!
“Heavenly Ever After” is a transcendent romance starring Kim Hye Ja as Lee Hae Sook, a woman who reunites with her husband in heaven after death. Unlike the other residents of heaven—including her husband Go Nak Joon (Son Suk Ku), who has chosen to return to the 30-something version of himself—Lee Hae Sook makes the unusual choice to keep her 80-something appearance.
Notably, the drama marks Kim Hye Ja’s reunion with director Kim Suk Yoon and fellow actress Han Ji Min, all of whom worked together on the drama “Radiant” six years ago.
In “Heavenly Ever After,” Lee Hae Sook was once a soft-hearted and emotional young woman, but losing her husband in an accident, she was forced to toughen up after suddenly becoming the head of the household. By the time she has reached her eighties, Lee Hae Sook is a battle-hardened fighter who has survived all sorts of hardships and financial struggles.
When Lee Hae Sook arrives at the marketplace for another hard day’s work, she greets her customers with a resolute poise that hints at her years of experience.
However, when Lee Hae Sook arrives in heaven, her world-weary gaze is nowhere to be found. Lee Hae Sook, who had imagined heaven but had never been certain whether it truly existed, is visibly ecstatic and overwhelmed to find herself in this idyllic afterlife. As she holds a “Heaven User Manual,” Lee Hae Sook is beaming with a sunny smile that contrasts starkly with how she looked on Earth.
Finally, when Lee Hae Sook is finally reunited with her beloved husband, she seems to have transformed into a smitten young girl again: as she excitedly chatters away while clutching her heart with both hands, it’s clear how overjoyed she is at seeing him for the first time in years.
“To be honest, I had already chosen Kim Hye Ja to play the main character when I created this drama,” revealed director Kim Suk Yoon. “I wanted viewers of many different ages to watch this drama, so I gave her a lovable but unpredictable and eccentric character.”
“Heavenly Ever After” will premiere on April 19 at 10:40 p.m. KST. Check out the latest teaser for the drama here!
