Based off of the novel written by Hwang Gun Hee, 'A Night in Heaven' tells the story of a chaebol family and its secretive ties with the prostitution sector. At the heart of this scandalous storyline, a young woman who lives a cursed life for being the child of an extramarital affair finds love at a private hostess bar in Chungdam-dong.
Based on reports on October 31 KST, Ahn Hyo Seop has been offered a role as Chun Kook, a former taekwondo athlete who now works as the ace of a male hostess bar known as 'Ci Bel Homme'.
