Heavenly Ever After is a romantic, mythical film about Lee Hae Sook (Kim Hye Ja) - a woman who reunits with her husband in heaven after his death.
Unlike other residents of paradise, including her husband - Ko Nak Joon (Son Suk Koo) - who is in his 30s, Lee Hae Sook makes an unusual choice to keep his 50-year-old appearance.
With a fantasy, healing story, the film Beautiful More Than Paradise is receiving many expectations, despite the fact that the two main actors - Son Suk Koo and Kim Hye Ja have a 42-year age gap (Kim Hye Ja was born in 1941, Son Suk Koo was born in 1983).
Sharing about this, director Kim Suk Yoon responded: To put the premise of Kim Hye Ja and Son Suk Koo as a convincing couple, I asked Kim Hye Ja to focus on portraying a wife who truly loves her husband.
Son Suk Koo and I also had many discussions so that the actor would not confuse between the way his character treated his beloved wife in the story and the way he treated Kim Hye Ja well in real life as a veteran actress.
Revealing the reaction of the two actors when acting in "Beautiful More Than Paradise", director Kim said that although they were a bit shy in the first session, when they started filming, their "chemistry" became more natural.
Both actors were vivid even without my direction. Thanks to Son Suk Koo's passionate acting, Kim Hye Ja has created an emotional image of a couple in love."
According to Kim Suk Yoon, he chose Kim Hye Ja to star because he wanted audiences of different ages to watch this film. This is also the reason why he built Hae Sook as a lovely but unpredictable and strange character.
Previously, commenting on the film "Beautiful Than Paradise", Son Suk Koo said that paradise in this film is not a harsh world that only a few people think of, but a world decorated with a very ordinary imagination that everyone can contact. More importantly, the film is looking for something more beautiful than paradise and beyond paradise.
Han Ji Min (as So Mi) confessed that she stayed up all night to read because the plot was so attractive: The idea of being able to choose the age you want to remember the most when going to heaven is special. The idea that life doesnt end in heaven but continues as a journey, and you have to live well there like you do here is what makes this story different.
The film "Beautiful More Than Paradise" is scheduled to premiere on the evening of April 19.
