Kim Hye-ja goes to heaven.

The production team of JTBC new weekend drama ‘More Beautiful than Heaven’ (directed by Kim Seok-yoon, written by Lee Nam-gyu and Kim Soo-jin)released the first trailer on the 15th, which contains the journey to heaven of Lee Hae-sook(played by Kim Hye-ja), who follows her beloved husband to the afterlife.

‘More Beautiful Than Heaven’ is a romantic comedy that transcends the present life as Lee Hae-sook, who arrives in heaven in her 80s, reunites with her husband Ko Nak-joon(played by Son Seok-gu)who has become younger and looks like a man in his 30s.The dynamic story of Lee Hae-sook’s entrance into heaven, where she begins her second life at the end of life called death, will bring warm emotions beyond pleasant laughter.

The released trailer begins with the appearance of ‘old’ Ko Nak-jun(Park Joon)leaving this world.Looking at his wife who will be left alone without him, he asks someone, “Will you come pick up our Hae-sook later?” Even at the moment of his death, he only thinks of his wife.Not long after, an unfamiliar voice is heard summoning Hae-sook to the afterlife.Even Hae-sook, who has experienced all sorts of things in life, is experiencing death for the first time.”Am I dead? Where am I going now?” he asks with a mixture of curiosity and fear.The explanation of the ‘guide to the afterlife’ adds to the curiosity.”These days, even judgment is automated.You will know for yourself whether you will go to heaven or hell.Your body will react.”


Lee Hae-sook, who got on the train to the afterlife, soon realizes what he meant.As the train stops at Hell Station and the doors open, people are automatically led out.In the meantime, Lee Hae-sook gets off at Heaven Station, which she can’t believe.When the counselor asks how old she will be in heaven, she answers without hesitation, “Eighty,” but shyly and cautiously looks forward to her reunion with him, saying, “My husband must have gone to heaven, right?” On her way to finally meet Ko Nak-jun, although her body is tired and exhausted, her heart is fluttering and thumping like it was their first meeting.When she stops in front of a house and rings the doorbell, Lee Hae-sook’s expression is filled with excitement when she hears a voice asking, “Who is it?” This makes her anticipate their reunion even more.

‘More Beautiful than Heaven’ will first air at 10:40 PM on the 19th.
