JTBC's new Saturday drama 「Beautiful Than Heaven」 held an online production presentation on the 18th. Actors Kim Hye-ja, Son Seok-gu, Han Ji-min, Lee Jung-eun, Cheon Ho-jin, Ryu Deok-hwan and Kim Seok-yoon attended the scene.
'Beautiful Than Heaven' (written by Lee Nam-gyu, Kim Soo-jin, director Kim Seok-yoon) is a transcendent romance that takes place when Lee Hae-sook (Kim Hye-ja), who arrived in heaven in her 80s, reunites with her husband Ko Nak-joon (Son Seok-gu), who has become younger in his 30s. Director Kim expressed his excitement about his feelings ahead of the first broadcast, saying, `As always, I feel like I'm being evaluated.' `I hope I can approach the viewers like a gift because I did my best to make it.'
In particular, director Kim, Lee Nam-gyu, and Kim Soo-jin reunited with Kim Hye-ja six years after the JTBC drama "Blindingly", which aired in 2019, raising viewers' expectations. Director Kim responded, `This work was made by Kim Hye-ja, who is next to me, from the planning stage. It was created by the writers who worked with him at the time of 'Blindingly' by stopping the original script work and participating in 'Kim Hye-ja Project'. Even among us, we thought a lot about how to make a drama where Kim Hye-ja can put everything into it. It's almost a customized piece. In addition to Kim Hye-ja, other actors also casted without a script from the planning stage, and thank you for your willing consent. For all actors, it was not a ready-made suit, but a customized suit, so it had to be drawn more lively," he stressed.

When asked how she felt about reuniting with director Kim Seok-yoon, Kim Hye-ja said, "Director Kim Seok-yoon directed it, and after reading the synopsis, I thought it would be fun, so I decided to do it. That's how much I like the director. There is a lot of talk about lovers in the director's work, and it seemed that there would be a story of Hae-suk and Nak-jun's unbroken relationship in reality," he replied.

Earlier, Son Seok-gu was loved by many viewers by creating a 'Gu's syndrome' in his previous drama 'My Liberation Diary'. Therefore, he said, "It's not up to me just because I'm aiming for syndrome." I don't know." He smiled with embarrassment.

Until now, Han Ji-min has worked with director Kim Seok-yoon several times, including 'Blindingly' and 'Hiply'. He said "I always want to participate in the work that the director did like Kim Hye-ja. Also, I heard in advance that Kim Hye-ja would be with me, and if I didn't have a role, I asked him to let me work as a staff member"When I'm in the director's field, I'm just happy and want to be with him all the time. I hope the director doesn't retire and continues," he said of the wind.

Finally, Kim Hye-ja talked about the secret to her steady acting activities for a long time. All he wants to do is act. The only interest is in acting. If you tell me to do something else, I'll get zero points. I'm happiest when I act. This time, it was easy to act because I like people with me. I really appreciated it. It tells the beautiful story of not only heaven but also all the human world. I had a lot of fun for a year while filming the movie" expressed satisfaction. He then said "When I think about my age, this drama could be the last one. So I became more grateful. I feel good because it seems to have ended satisfactorily. No one can guarantee that the next work will come." He added to his heartache.
Meanwhile, 'Beautiful Than Heaven' will premiere on JTBC at 10:40 p.m. on the 19th.
