Heavenly Ever After: A Drama Worth Adding to Your Watchlist https://sports.khan.co.kr/article/202504211733013?pt=nv JTBC’s new weekend drama Heavenly Ever After has finally kicked off, and it’s everything we hoped for - a story full of laughter, touching moments, and a bit of magic that transcends life itself. At its core, Heavenly Ever After deals with themes no one has personally experienced but everyone has imagined: death, the afterlife, heaven, and even hell. It’s the kind of heavy topic that could easily turn dark, but director Kim Seok-yoon and writers Lee Nam-gyu and Kim Soo-jin masterfully wrap it in warmth, wit, and a unique emotional touch. https://kstar.kbs.co.kr/list_view.html?idx=360151 The true heart of the story is Kim Hye-ja, making a breathtaking return to the screen. Director Kim even described this project as the “Kim Hye-ja Project”, and it’s easy to see why. She completely transforms into Lee Hae-sook, a tough-as-nails loan shark in the living world who’s also an adorably loving wife to her husband of 60 years. After passing on, she becomes a quirky and charming newcomer to heaven. When she reunites with her husband, who’s now in his 30s, and meets the mysterious Som-i (played by Han Ji-min), her "heavenly life" takes on a new, dynamic turn. It’s impossible not to be curious about what’s coming next for her. https://kstar.kbs.co.kr/list_view.html?idx=360151 Son Suk-ku, playing her husband Go Nak-joon, brings a whole new side of himself to the table. Known for his intense roles in previous dramas, here he fully embraces comedy and romance, creating hilarious and heart-melting chemistry with Kim Hye-ja. His portrayal of a mischievous, sweet "loving husband" feels so natural, especially the way he treats his elderly wife with boyish affection in heaven. And when Han Ji-min's Som-i enters their peaceful afterlife at the end of episode 2, everything shifts. Her innocent eyes and sunny smile hide a deeper mystery. https://sports.khan.co.kr/article/202504211733013?pt=nv Another standout is Lee Jung-eun, who plays Lee Young-ae. From the first episode, she captures hearts with her bold style and emotional depth. Her tearful scenes, showing a bond with Lee Hae-sook stronger than family, leave a lasting impression. The backstory of their friendship is touching, and the moment she runs out in grief after Hae-sook’s passing hints at even more emotional moments to come. Heavenly Ever After is off to a magical and moving start. If you’re looking for a show that makes you laugh, tugs at your heartstrings, and gives you something a little bit fantastical to believe in — this drama is definitely worth adding to your watchlist. #HeavenlyEverAfter #JTBCDrama #KDrama2024 #KimHyeJa #SonSukKu #HanJiMin #LeeJungEun #Romance #천국보다아름다운 #김혜자 #손석구 #한지민 All rights reserved Stay14 Bespoke
