Lee Hae-sook and Ko Nak-joon are an elderly couple who have spent a lifetime together. When Hae-sook dies in her eighties and follows her late husband to heaven, she finds Nak-joon waiting for her looking like a man in his thirties. A warm JTBC romantic fantasy about the comedy of the afterlife played out across the gap between an aged wife and a youthful husband, and the reunions with those they left behind. Starring Kim Hye-ja, Son Seok-gu, Han Ji-min, Lee Jung-eun and Cheon Ho-jin.
The imaginary realm of heaven was filled in by real-world landmarks. The glass greenhouse and broad gardens of Cheongrium in Gapyeong become the Heaven Support Center that welcomes arriving souls, while the hanok of Goyo Garden on Ganghwa Island appears as the home Hae-sook and Nak-joon build together again. The church where the residents of heaven receive grape seals, the mark of good deeds, and share their meals was shot at The Stay Healing Park in Gapyeong, and the reunion scene that brims over with emotion was filmed on the hill of Noeul Park in Sangam, Seoul, as the sunset falls. The locations are scattered across Gapyeong, Ganghwa, Seoul and Chuncheon, so it is best to tie the two Gapyeong spots into one day and tour Ganghwa and Chuncheon separately.

Cheongrium in Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. A cultural complex weaving together a glass greenhouse, wide gardens and exhibition spaces, it was portrayed in the drama as the fantastical Heaven Support Center that greets and guides newly arrived souls. The greenery and light filling the greenhouse create the strange yet gentle mood of the world beyond. The venue also runs healing programs such as tea ceremonies and singing-bowl therapy, so a visit can pair sightseeing with hands-on experience.

Goyo Garden in Naega-myeon, Ganghwa, Incheon. A stand-alone lodging that blends a hanok and a Western-style house, it can actually be booked and stayed in. In the drama it appears as the home Hae-sook and Nak-joon make together again in heaven, serving as the backdrop for the quiet daily life and conversations the two share. The serene mood of its yard and garden suits the couple's place of rest, just as its name (meaning "serene") suggests.

The Stay Healing Park in Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. A retreat complex that includes a chapel building, it hosted the church scenes in which the residents of heaven receive grape seals, the mark of good deeds, and gather to share a meal together. The plain chapel and broad lawn capture the warmth of a community in the world beyond. It sits in the same Seorak-myeon area as Cheongrium, making it easy to tie the Gapyeong locations into a single day.

Noeul Park inside World Cup Park in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. A hilltop park famed, as its name ("sunset") suggests, for the sky that glows red at dusk, it served as the stage for the reunion scene where emotion brims over and breaks loose. As the sunset spreads over the broad hill of silver grass and lawn, the characters' feelings merge into one with the backdrop. It lies right beside Haneul Park, so the two are easily seen together.

D Forest in Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. A wide forest theme park for romping with companion animals, it was where the drama filmed the moving scene in which Hae-sook meets again the beloved pet Sonya she had lost. The green woodland paths and lawns wrap the feelings of parting and reunion in warmth. It lies a little outside central Chuncheon, so it pairs well with an itinerary toward Gangchon or Nami Island.
