Heavenly Ever After is a fantasy romance film, about Lee Hae Sook (Kim Hye Ja) - who went to heaven at the age of 80 and reunited with her husband Ko Nak Joon (Son Suk Koo) - who is in his 30s.
Sharing about the work, director Kim Suk Yoon said that the actors were willing to participate even when the script was still in development. That helps the screenwriting team build roles based on a clear understanding of each individual and brings a sense of authenticity and vitality to the audience.
Meanwhile, the female lead Kim Hye Ja said that she was attracted to the story of fate and the beautiful, meaningful connections in the movie "Beautiful More Than Paradise".
When reading the script, I immediately felt that the story would be extremely attractive. The idea of a beautiful connection that lasts forever, even from one life to another makes me want to be a part of it.
In this project, in addition to reuniting with Han Ji Min - co-star of the movie "Bright E eyes", Kim Hye Ja has a highly anticipated collaboration with Son Suk Koo - an actor 42 years her junior. It is known that she was the one who introduced him to participate in the film.
After watching My freedom documentary, I learned that Son Suk Koo is a great actor. So when they talked about casting for my husband's role, I said I hoped it would be Son Suk Koo.
He is exactly the person I had imagined. Although younger, he directed the scenes very well. Son Suk Koo has always been by my side like a real husband, and I am extremely grateful for that.
In addition, the 83-year-old actress also expressed her gratitude for her acting career.
In terms of age and everything, this could really be my last work. That made me even more grateful. I had a really happy year filming, and the happy ending made me feel satisfied.
Regarding the message, director Kim said that the meaning of the film Beautiful More Than Paradise is death, not the end of existence.
We want to delve into the relationships that humans have created through many lifes. The core message we want to convey is the importance of human relationships. We would like to recount the origin of these relationships, their development journey and their inherent value.
The first episode of "Beautiful More Than Paradise" aired on the evening of April 19.
