Kim Hye-ja begins another life at the end of her life.

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 still cuts on the 16th that foreshadow the appearance of the ‘daily duo’ Lee Hae-sook(played by Kim Hye-ja)and Lee Young-ae(played by Lee Jung-eun), who have strong internal energy and force.

‘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.

In the photos released by the production team, Lee Hae-sook and Lee Young-ae, who shake up the market just by appearing, catch the eye.The two are already notorious among the merchants as the veteran fighter ‘Il-soo-kun’ and his successor and ‘right-hand man’.The atmosphere is ominous with the people blocking the front of the fruit store, the owner giving a displeased look, and the watermelon shattered under the stall.However, Lee Hae-sook shows off her fantastic teamwork with an unwavering and upright attitude, and Lee Young-ae shows off her determination to blow everything away.



But like everyone else, the moment of separation comes for the two.In the previous trailer, the silhouette of the mysterious man who is presumed to be calling “Lee Hae-sook” and the meeting with Lee Hae-sook who was summoned by him catches the eye.As soon as Lee Hae-sook sees him, she senses her own death, and the mysterious man claims to be her guide to the afterlife and explains what happens after death, raising curiosity about his identity.Above all, another photo focuses attention by showing Lee Young-ae guarding the empty funeral alone, along with Lee Hae-sook’s smiling face in the memorial photo.

The production team said, “This drama is a story that begins with the death of the main character, Lee Hae-sook.In the first episode, you will be able to see what kind of person Lee Hae-sook is and what kind of life she lived.” They continued, “In particular, along with the groundbreaking acting transformation of Kim Hye-ja and Lee Jung-eun, the ‘womance’ between the two who are family and partners will be portrayed, so please watch out.”

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