Actress Kim Hye-ja stated that 'More Beautiful than Heaven' is likely to be her last work in life.
On the afternoon of the 18th, an online press conference for JTBC's new weekend drama 'More Beautiful than Heaven' was held. The event was attended by director Kim Seok-yoon, Kim Hye-ja, Son Seok-koo, Han Ji-min, Lee Jung-eun, Cheon Ho-jin, and Ryu Deok-hwan.
Set to premiere on the 19th at 10:40 PM, 'More Beautiful than Heaven' tells the story of Lee Hae-sook (played by Kim Hye-ja), who arrives in heaven at the age of 80 and reunites with her husband Ko Nak-jun (played by Son Seok-koo), who has returned to his 30s, depicting a transcendent romance.
Kim Hye-ja expressed her love for acting, saying, "I only want to act and have no interest in anything else. I just don't know anything else. If asked to do something else, I would fail miserably. I love and am happy to act." She added, "Director Kim Seok-yoon and everyone I worked with helped me a lot, making it easier to act. I am very grateful. I spent a very enjoyable year thinking about this. I felt thankful watching the broadcast."
Kim Hye-ja also mentioned, "Perhaps this could be... considering everything, including my age, it could be my last work. So I am even more grateful," and expressed her heartfelt feelings, saying, "I spent a truly happy year and feel that it has come to a satisfying conclusion, so I am just thankful."
'More Beautiful than Heaven' will air every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
