Heavenly Ever After Plot
Remembering the words of her husband, a woman in her 80s decides to keep her appearance unchanged when she reaches heaven. Hoping her husband would also keep his appearance the same as when he passed away, she is stunned when she sees him standing in front of her in his 30s version.
Lee Hae-sook lived a happy life with her husband, who loved her immensely and always admired her beauty. He would always compliment her and would also assure her that she gets prettier with age. Upon his death due to an accident, Hae-sook became the head of her household overnight and worked hard to support her family alone. Finally, at the age of 80, she dies, and upon reaching the Heaven Admission Counseling Office, she chooses to live as she is now- at the age of 80.
