Kim Hee-sun delivers a powerful performance as she confronts her brother and unleashes her emotions towards her mother.
TV CHOSUN's Monday-Tuesday miniseries 'No Next Life' is a comedic growth story about three 41-year-old friends striving for a better life amidst the daily grind of parenting and work. The series realistically portrays relatable narratives, from stay-at-home moms and working mothers to various marital issues and deep human relationships, resonating with viewers.
In the previous episode, Jo Na-jung (played by Kim Hee-sun) reconciled with her rival Yang Mi-sook (played by Han Ji-hye), only to face a 'communication blackout panic ending' when the babysitter failed to answer the phone, heightening the tension.
In the upcoming episode 7, airing at 10 PM on the 1st, Kim Hee-sun draws empathy with her portrayal of a 'struggle' scene, as she battles family and work issues, and now a sibling conflict. Jo Na-jung raises her voice against her brother in front of their mother, An Soon-im (played by Cha Mi-kyung). She stands up, ready to physically confront her brother, and eventually breaks down in tears, revealing her pent-up emotions to her mother.
Kim Hee-sun masterfully depicts Jo Na-jung's emotional journey in the 'tearful outburst scene,' showcasing a three-stage emotional transformation. Her performance, filled with sorrow and anger, captivates with its intensity and authenticity, leaving the set in awe.
The production team stated, "Kim Hee-sun proves her legendary status by delivering a realistic portrayal of Jo Na-jung, a 41-year-old woman navigating life as a wife, mother, and daughter in Korea. In episode 7, Jo Na-jung faces another unexpected crisis beyond family and work issues. Stay tuned to see what decision she makes when confronted with unforeseen challenges."
