In the fifth episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Beautiful Than Heaven" (directed by Kim Seok-yoon, scriptwriter Lee Nam-gyu, Kim Soo-jin, production studio Phoenix, SLL), brutal, ruthless, and 'relentless' hell was depicted. Lee Hae-sook (played by Kim Hye-ja), who filled all six grapes, was taken to the hell tank. Go Nak-joon (played by Son Seok-gu) chose to go to hell on his own to save his wife, and he threw himself into hell at Yeomra (Cheon Ho-jin)'s dangerous proposal to return his wife if he experienced all hell once, raising his heart rate. The fifth episode ranked first in non-terrestrial broadcasting with 5.9% nationwide and 6.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area (Nilson Korea, based on paid households).
On this day, Ko Nak-joon was worried when he saw Lee Hae-sook's grape plate. Before he knew it, five of his grapes were gathered, and if he filled the remaining one, he was going to hell. In fact, Lee Hae-sook responded calmly, saying, "I endured a more dreadful marriage than hell." However, in the end, the last grape fell out of the act because he couldn't bear his temper. Then, suddenly, the whole heaven darkened, sirens sounded, and tension rose.
Sensing an unusual crisis, Ko Nak-joon ran one step late and had no choice but to leave the hell tank carrying his wife Lee Hae-sook right in front of him. In response, he visited the center director (played by Cheon Ho-jin) and asked for help, but he firmly refused the request, saying that Lee Hae-sook missed another opportunity given to her and saying, `No matter how couple they are, they have a separate share to bear.'
Meanwhile, the hell waiting room where Lee Hae-sook arrived was literally in a state of 'Abi-gyu'. At that time, the team leader (Park Soo-young), employees, and Yeomra (Cheon Ho-jin), who manages the whole hell, overwhelmed the atmosphere just by appearing. There is no hiding of sin in hell," he said, warning of what hell will be like in the future. The fear doubled with the narration of the pastor (Ryu Deok-hwan) from 'Hwatang Hell' where those who committed theft and murder go to 'super-heated hell' where those who misled people with words go'Hwatang Hell'.
The method of judging crime and punishment was also automated. All you had to do was put a barcode machine on your face at the counter, and each one was found guilty, and all you had to do was press the button accordingly, and you fell into hell on your own. Lee Hae-sook, waiting for her turn, found Lee Young-ae standing in another line. And both of them were divided into 'unclassified' and gathered in the same space. Lee Hae-sook thought that Somyi (played by Han Ji-min) of heaven followed her to hell and returned to the original form of Lee Young-ae.
'Unclassified' is a person who has not yet died, but has been experienced by accident, or is a person whose judgment has been put on hold because it is ambiguous to go to hell. All unclassified people, including Lee Hae-sook and Lee Young-ae, headed to the system room. It was the final decision to go to hell under the weight of the sin. Lee Hae-sook got on the scale before Lee Young-ae, and a needle narrowly moving between 50kg, which is confirmed to go to hell, and 49.9kg, a cut line safe, made him wonder about his fate.
The reality of hell that I have never seen before was more than imagined. It was a place where punishment and suffering corresponding to the crimes he committed in this world, such as theft and murder, fraud and falsehood, infidelity and school violence, followed. It was pleasant for those who did bad things in their lives to die and be paid for them, but through that appearance, they looked back and reflected on their lives and realities. Like heaven, hell also stood out for its unique setting and ingenious imagination of 'Beautiful Than Heaven'. In particular, the surprise transformation of Cheon Ho-jin, who played the role of the director of the Heaven Center and the role of the Yumra in Hell, also attracted attention. Attention is focusing on whether Ko Nak-joon, who went through hell to save his wife, will be able to return to heaven with Lee Hae-sook.
