“The more you watch, the more you’ll love it.”
A drama that starts slow but gradually pulls you in with its emotional depth and evolving characters. It's slow-paced and fast-paced at the same time — a rare paradox that somehow works.Cinematography: Beautiful, atmospheric, and immersive.
Acting: Strong performances that carry the weight of the story well.
Direction: Feels a bit weak at times — could’ve been more refined.
Storyline: Decent overall. Not groundbreaking, but emotionally resonant.
Ending: Not dreamy or fairy-tale. It’s realistic, painful, and beautiful in a way that lingers.
Despite its flaws, Dear Hongrang leaves a mark. It’s not the kind of show you forget easily.

Heavenly ever after.
I decided to watch this drama after seeing its trailer, which immediately intrigued me. The storyline felt fresh and unique, and I was excited to dive in. From the very first two episodes, I was hooked—the drama beautifully captured the struggles and pain of life on earth, yet also carried a profound message: if you live an honest and good life, you will find even greater joy after death. That’s what I believe the title "Heavenly Ever After" truly means.As the story progressed, it only got better. The characters were engaging and never felt dull. Although there were some parts, especially with Som-i, that felt a bit frustrating, I understand that this was the director’s and writer’s intention to highlight certain challenges. Honestly, this drama is a real gem. It will make you cry, but it will also make you smile your brightest smile.
The drama is filled with beautiful life lessons—about living well, about the connections we form, and about how those connections aren’t random. It suggests that every person we meet is part of our fate, and that even if it feels like a new encounter, it might be a bond carried over from a different lifetime.
Overall, it’s a must-watch drama that will leave you feeling moved and inspired.
