Netflix K-drama Heavenly Ever After: Kim Hye-ja, Son Suk-ku lead afterlife fantasy romcom



Lead cast: Kim Hye-ja, Son Suk-ku, Han Ji-min

Latest Nielsen rating: 6.1 per cent

In the fantasy romance Heavenly Ever After, Korean screen icon Kim Hye-ja (Mother) plays a woman who reunites with her husband in the afterlife โ€“ but with a catch.

This is the latest series from veteran writer Lee Nam-kyu, who recently drew acclaim for the mental-health-focused Netflix series Daily Dose of Sunshine.

Heavenly Ever After is pitched somewhere between the British classic A Matter of Life and Death and the more recent US television comedy The Good Place โ€“ both of which also imagine administrative snafus in the afterlife โ€“ but with a heavy side of K-drama schmaltz.
