JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Beautiful Than Heaven" (directed by Nam-gyu Lee, Soo-jin Kim, and Kim Seok-yoon) ended with the 12th episode aired on the 25th. The final episode's viewership was 8.3% nationwide and 8.9% in the Seoul metropolitan area (Nilson Korea, based on paid households), the highest in its own world.
On this day, Go Nak-joon (Son Seok-gu) proposed Lee Hae-sook (Kim Hye-ja) to be reincarnated together. It was because of his sorry for his wife, who should live in heaven like this forever. Even after reincarnation, Ko Nak-joon asked to meet as a couple again, and Lee Hae-sook said she would do so without hesitation this time. However, at the news of the two's reincarnation, the center director (Cheon Ho-jin) told Ko Nak-jun "You'll go down together again this time.""The couple left a meaningful remark "Prisoners in the same chain"."
Perhaps because of that, Ko Nak-joon was in trouble. "Now I want to go down again and start anew with you" said Lee Hae-sook, his wife, who expressed her firm heart, but she had a lot of thoughts. And the two celebrated their reincarnation D-DAY. As I left the reincarnation gate amid the seeing-off of the center's director and staff, a pretty trail continued. Lee Hae-sook was alone in the underworld, but her reincarnation path was reassuring because she had a husband. I also thought of my son Ko Eun-ho (Ryu Deok-hwan), who would have walked this path first.
At the end of the reincarnation path, Ko Nak-jun brought up an unexpected story. It was that they were in the 23rd couple's relationship throughout their past lives, past lives, and much earlier lives. It occurred to me that his greed and lingering affection were tying Lee Hae-sook into a chain of relationships. In response, Ko Nak-jun said goodbye at the last door of his reincarnation, saying, `I want to let you live a completely different life this time, without me.' Lee Hae-sook accepted Ko Nak-jun's sincerity even though she guessed the eternal breakup. "You did a great job. It was nice to have you," he said, leaving the door of his reincarnation alone.
Thus, Lee Hae-sook spent a new life in this world without Ko Nak-joon, and Ko Nak-joon spent days of longing in heaven without Lee Hae-sook. However, at the end of the broadcast, when Lee Hae-sook finished her reincarnated life, a reunion scene as if Ko Nak-joon had come out to greet her on her way to heaven was depicted, giving a touching impression to the end. "Now I get it. All those days we spent together were heaven, not hell. If I could go back any time, I'd be happy to go. Go Nak-jun's narration, "Into that life with you, which is more beautiful than heaven", pointed out the meaning contained in the title of the work, "This moment is more beautiful than heaven", right here with your loved one.
'Beautiful than Heaven' is a life after death that no one has ever experienced, but that anyone could have imagined. It has completed a unique setting and world view with a new approach to the afterlife that encompasses heaven and hell. In addition, in the premise of the work 'Death is not the end of life, but the beginning of another life', the story of life, death, and connection is told cheerfully and warmly. In the end, heaven in the play is nothing more than a process to end one's previous life and prepare for the next. In addition, it contained the message that the process of everyone's life, whether it is a good or bad relationship, forming a relationship, and solving the homework of a tangled relationship, is our repeated journey of life. In this way, through death, it allowed us to look back on life and reawakened the value and preciousness of relationships, leaving viewers with a deep resonance and deep lingering feeling.
