On May 17 and 18, Heavenly Ever After’s 9th and 10th episodes were released on Netflix. The episodes reveal that Somi and Nak-jun share a mysterious connection, and the pastor turns out to be Hae-suk's son. The 9th chapter opens with the elderly man Somi despises turning out to be Jeong-gu, someone with whom Nak-jun also shares a deep connection.
Nak-jun confronts Jeong-gu and questions why he was betrayed, suggesting a troubled backstory between them. Before Jeong-gu can reply, a truck suddenly hits him, killing him instantly.
His spirit appears, filled with anger, and blames Nak-jun for his sudden death. As tension rises, Somi reaches her limit. Her skin turns black, and her form shifts as she grabs Jeong-gu by the throat in a monstrous outburst.
A grim reaper appears, prepared to erase her. Just before he acts, Nak-jun’s voice pulls Somi back to her senses. The reaper cautions him that missing the spiritual train might have lasting effects.

Heavenly Ever After episode 10: Hae-suk embraces the pastor as her son
Heavenly Ever After's episode 10 continues with the pastor and Hae-suk attending the Heaven Lottery Festival. The rules are simple but intense: participants must first track down one of six hidden keys scattered across heaven.
Once found, they must visit the Support Centre’s main plaza and test their key on six white boxes. If a box opens and reveals a golden plate, they qualify for the voting round. Only six people can enter.
The winner, decided by popular vote, gets access to the winning lottery numbers and earns a chance to appear in the dream of someone they deeply care about. Meanwhile, Somi continues to feel down after her tense clash with Nak-jun.
At the pastor’s home, while cooking, Hae-suk tells him that the person she wants to visit in their dream is Young-ae, someone she sees as her own daughter. Later, Hae-suk brings pastries to the Support Centre, gently trying to get clues about where the keys might be.
Other side, Somi has a vivid memory of being in a romantic relationship with Nak-jun, including a moment where they kissed. Somi tries speaking to Nak-jun again, asking if he truly knows who she is.
However, when he doesn’t answer, she walks away. At the same time, Hae-suk and the pastor keep searching for the key and learn that two contestants have already found theirs.
While praying at church, the pastor sees a key drop from the sky while Hae-suk is asleep. The following day, Hae-suk joins the contest. She tells Nak-jun to stay home, saying she’ll feel too nervous if he’s around.
Elsewhere, Nak-jun finally tells Somi that Eun-ho was his and Hae-suk’s child. At the festival, each contestant begins to share their personal story. When it’s Hae-suk’s turn, she talks about growing up with her grandmother.
Hae-suk then added that she longed for her mother, later learning that she was the child of her father’s mistress. Her mother never acknowledged her, and though her stepmother was kind, she never felt fully accepted. But the crowd doesn’t seem moved.
She then shifts and tells the pastor’s story instead like how he was abandoned at age five and died in the cold while waiting for his mother. In a surprise moment, she embraces the pastor, saying she now sees herself as his mother and carries guilt for his pain.
The crowd is deeply touched and votes overwhelmingly for her. Heavenly Ever After’s episode 10 ends with some moderators arguing that Hae-suk should be disqualified for not telling her own story, behind the scenes. However, the President declares that she’s telling the truth.
The finale of Heavenly Ever After will release on May 25 on Netflix for international viewers. Korean viewers can tune in to JTBC.
