Ryu Deok-hwan Reflects on 'Heavenly Ever After' Finale



Actor Ryu Deok-hwan expressed his feelings about the end of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Beautiful Than Heaven".

Ryu Deok-hwan played the role of a pastor with warm beliefs in 『Beautiful Than Heaven』 (directed by Lee Nam-gyu, Kim Soo-jin, Kim Seok-yoon), and led the play's emotions stably by portraying delicate emotions and solid inner sides in harmony.

The pastor in the play is a soul who grew up in heaven after passing away at the age of five, and formed a special relationship by touching each other's wounds through a meeting with Hae-sook (Kim Hye-ja). As the play unfolded, he revealed his deficiency, and he grew into a being beyond a simple helper by Hae-sook, leaving a deep resonance.




In particular, Ryu Deok-hwan delicately portrayed a character who retained the loneliness of his childhood with his understated tone, eyes, and light acting. He conveyed a warm lingering feeling in the dense breathing with Kim Hye-ja, and added depth to the play by infusing his own warmth into the character of a pastor who seemed indifferent.

Ahead of the end of the show, Ryu Deok-hwan "Beautiful Than Heaven" is a work that taught me the beauty of loving myself after living my whole life altruistically. Through this work, I came to love 'I' even more," he said, expressing his extraordinary feelings.

He then expressed his deep appreciation for his fellow actors and production team, saying, `I respect Kim Hye-ja's eyes, which were amazing every time she filmed, and director Kim Seok-yoon's energy with different eyes.' Finally, he was "enjoyed." expressed the regret of the end with a short but sincere word.




Ryu Deok-hwan, who succeeded in making a new acting transformation through this work, expanded his spectrum as an actor again through his pastor character. He is a three-dimensional character who moves between joy and seriousness and quietly keeps the center of the decomposition play, and expectations are high for his future acting moves.

Meanwhile, the 11th episode of 『Beautiful Than Heaven』 starring Ryu Deok-hwan will air at 10:40 p.m. on the 24th and the final episode at 10:30 p.m. on the 25th.
