Heavenly Ever After: Plot and cast
Heavenly Ever After brings together a celebrated creative team—director Kim Seok-yoon, known for hit dramas like Hip-hop, The Light in Your Eyes, and Awl, along with the trusted writing duo of Lee Nam-gyu and Kim Soo-jin—which has already stirred excitement among drama fans.
The star-studded cast includes national actress Kim Hye-ja, a Baeksang Arts Awards Grand Prize winner for The Light in Your Eyes, and Son Suk-ku, alongside other notable actors like Han Ji-min, Lee Jung-eun, Chun Ho-jin, and Ryu Deok-hwan.
The first teaser of Heavenly Ever After highlights the chemistry between Kim Hye-ja and Son Suk-ku. Set against the backdrop of a sunlit afternoon in a subway, Lee Hae-sook’s reflective soliloquy—“Is there really such a thing as heaven?”—echoes as her train, passing through symbolic landmarks like Sacheonsan and Samdocheon, makes its way to Heaven Station.
Once admitted to heaven at the age of 80, primarily driven by memories of her late husband’s loving compliment that she was beautiful in every decade of her life, Lee Hae-sook is stunned to find him reborn as a man in his 30s. Their brief, bewildering reunion sets the stage for a second married life that blurs the lines between heaven and hell.
Heavenly Ever After is set to air in April.
