JTBC’s upcoming drama Heavenly Ever After brings a fresh take on romance. This series explores love beyond time as Lee Hae-sook (played by Kim Hye-ja) finds herself in heaven in her 80s, only to reunite with her husband Go Nak-joon (played by Son Seok-gu), who is now in his 30s. Their unexpected second chance at love in the afterlife promises warmth, humor, and deep emotions.
The drama is directed by Kim Seok-yoon and written by Lee Nam-gyu and Kim Soo-jin. This team has previously worked on The Light in Your Eyes, Hip-hop, and Awl, making expectations for this series even higher. Fans are especially excited to see Kim Hye-ja reunite with the creators of The Light in Your Eyes, a project that earned her a Baeksang Arts Award.
