This looks really funny, even though people wouldn’t need to argue in heaven this is definitely the exact circumstances that would be considered as the exception to the rule🤣🤣🤣 Personally I think people given a choice would choose their 20’s as that is when our bodies are at peak health. Maybe the contrast would have been too ridiculous so they chose an older actor but I wonder if the support roles and extras will all be much younger. I also wonder if they will have people choose when they were happiest or most successful or the age when they met someone special to mix up the stages of life represented there.

🙋‍♀️ Me, me too!
I also want to have a heavenly after with Sohn Seokku. 😊

(Looking forward to those two great actors on my screen. 🙂)

Interesting. Not quite Harold and Maude, but I think this will steer more emotional and philosophical ("what is love?" "what makes a good relationship?") than romantic since the two already have a relationship, although maybe this drama will be brave. As to equity in looks, even if she is in the older version of herself, at least she has for eternity better than hair than he does in his version of younger (forties?) self.

I think this looks quite lovely and heart warming.

The writer + director from The Light in Your Eyes, plus three of its casts? Sign me in!!!

Might just be me, but I'm getting The Good Place vibes from this.

This interview Hye ja did talking about the drama sounded so endearing!
"The new drama will start filming outdoors in May. I don’t know when it will air. I met the director and the lead male actor a while ago. The title is ‘More Beautiful than Heaven.’ The writers of the drama ‘Dazzling’ wrote the script. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet, but I really like this story. So I really want to do well.

I’m not attracted to the role of an ordinary, ordinary mother. Just thinking about a boring life makes me suffocate. I’ve always waited for someone who can act with a heart-pounding heart. My name in ‘More Beautiful than Heaven’ is Hae-sook. I’m about 80 years old, like me. But I’m still an active woman. I work at the market. Hae-sook is similar to me from beginning to end.

But this drama also shows heaven and hell. The funny thing is, when you say ‘I want to go back to a certain age’ when you die, it seems like that happens in this drama. Hae-sook lived a proper life with her husband and died, but her husband usually said this. “You were pretty in your 20s, you were pretty in your 30s, and now that you’re 80, you’re the prettiest!”

I really liked that line in the script. When Hae-sook died, she thought of that line and said, “I just want to go to heaven at 80, my real age.” But when she got to heaven, well, her husband was in his 30s. Haha. How amazing. How fun this story was to tell… Oh no, I shouldn’t reveal too much of the plot. The director would scold me."

LOL! I had wondered about this issue from time to time. It sucks that it seems like it's a once and done decision.

This looks cute. :)

What an interesting premises. It raises so many questions about beauty lying in the eye of the beholder, expectations versus reality. 😂 Definitely a theme which needs to be handled with a delicate touch and a spot of good old fashioned humor.
