Synopsis

Lee Hae-sook, an 80-year-old woman, dies and arrives at the Heaven Admission Counseling Office. She chooses to keep her aged appearance in the afterlife, influenced by her husband's affectionate remarks that she was gorgeous at all ages, especially now. In Heaven, she reunites with her husband Ko Nak-joon, but is shocked to find him in his thirty-year-old self. He is equally surprised to see her looking older, as she is the only one in Heaven who declined to revert to a younger form. Nak-joon works as a postman delivering letters of well wishes from Earth, and while waiting for Hae-sook, he built a beautiful home.
