A Journey to Heaven

The train then crosses the boundary between life and death, arriving at Heaven Station. This symbolic journey sets the stage for the couple’s reunion in the afterlife.
A Twist in the Afterlife
The teaser also showcases the reunion of Lee Hae Soon and her husband, Go Nak Joon (Son Suk Ku), who had passed away before her.
