Plot
Yeon-woo is a successful lawyer who is killed in an automobile accident. She wakes in heaven to find that her death was a clerical error and it was actually an old woman with the same name who was meant to die.
To hide the mistake, she is asked to live as another woman – a housewife who was also killed by mistake – for just one month. Married to a very ordinary civil servant named Sung-hwan with a difficult teenage daughter and a precocious six-year-old, Yeon-woo finds herself changing in unexpected ways.
Remake
A Chinese remake was released in 2017, titled Beautiful Accident. It was directed by Ho Wi Ding and stars Gwei Lun-mei and Chen Kun.
