Kim Hee-seon in a still from Tomorrow. She stars as Koo Ryeon, head of a suicide-risk-management team in the afterlife who gets some help from Choi Jun-woong .Following a week's delay, Tomorrow launched at the beginning of April. Featuring Alice 's Kim Hee-seon and SF9 K-pop boy band member Rowoon, the show spins a fantastical premise around one of South Korea's most persistent hot-button issues: suicide.

Why does she bring up these statistics? Because the managers of the various teams in her organisation take a dim view of suicide and she needs to illustrate why they should care about preventing it by highlighting the country's declining population. She disconnects the exhaust pipe and hops into the vehicle alongside its drowsy passengers, slams on the ignition and takes them on a hell ride through the South Korean capital, Seoul, scaring them out of their wits.

Despondent, he is walking along a bridge at night following another rejection. Jun-woong ponders his failures, but before he has the chance to work himself into a bad state, he notices a man walking to the edge of the bridge.
