The Present Company
“Night of Heaven”
This upcoming drama, “Night of Heaven,” is a live adaptation of a famous novel of the same name, written by Hwang Ui Geon and first published in 2022.
The crime mystery romance drama explores the rumors surrounding a chaebol family and the vibrant nightlife scene. It introduces “Si Bel Homme,” an exclusive host club operated by charming men. This club caters to lonely, affluent women by offering extraordinary entertainment experiences. Additionally, it presents a unique kind of love that is truly one of a kind.
Storyline
“Night in Heaven” follows the love story of Cheon Guk and Yu Ji On. Cheon Guk, whose name means “Heaven” in Korean, is a former funeral organizer. Yu Ji On, on the other hand, is a chaebol heiress.
One day, while managing a sudden funeral, Cheon Guk unexpectedly falls for Yu Ji On at first sight. As a family member of the deceased and a chaebol heiress, she finds herself facing significant challenges, particularly as the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family.
A year passes, and Cheon Guk has transformed into a top host within the elite circle of “Si Bel Homme,” an exclusive club in Cheongdam-dong. Surprisingly, when Yu Ji On visits the club as a customer, she meets Cheon Guk again. As they rekindle their bond, her life begins to change.
During this time, Cheon Guk decides to return items that belonged to Yu Ji On’s late mother—items he had kept hidden all this time. However, that same night, tragedy strikes as a murder occurs, and Cheon Guk suddenly finds himself accused of the crime.
Desiring to avoid gossip and protect their reputations, Yu Ji On searches for ways to prove Cheon Guk’s innocence. She is determined to do more than just confirm his alibi. As a result, they delve deeper into their investigation, uncovering a much larger incident than they initially anticipated. Together, they navigate a dangerous journey of truth and affection, learning about true love while protecting one another from evil.
Ahn Hyo Seop’s Role in “Night in Heaven”
The “Business Proposal” actor Ahn Hyo Seop is reportedly set to portray Cheong Guk in an upcoming drama.
Cheong Guk, the ace of a secret club called ‘Si Bel Homme,’ is depicted as a complex character. With his tall and sturdy build, he embodies the strength of a former taekwondo athlete. However, he also appears as a vulnerable figure due to his painful past.
His complicated life journey leads him into the nightlife world. His stepmother betrayed him by running off with his deceased father’s life insurance money. As a result, he must pay off all of his deceased father’s debts to loan sharks. This situation ultimately drives him deeper into the nightlife.
In the novel, the male lead is 23 years old, while the female lead is 39. However, there is currently no information regarding the casting of the female lead. This situation heightens anticipation as fans wonder which talented senior actress will step into this captivating role in the series.
Furthermore, if Ahn Hyo Seop accepts the offer, this upcoming drama will mark his comeback project after his last appearance in the 2023 drama “A Time Called You.”
