No Next Life, the upcoming comedy drama starring Kim Hee Sun, Han Hye Jin, and Jin Seo Yeon, will premiere on TV Chosun on Monday (February 10) at 10:00 pm KST. It will focus on the lives of three women in their early 40s who struggle with parenting and focusing on their work. Through these three friends, the mini-series will portray the anxiety and confusion of women entering their 40s.
With only a couple of days left for the premiere of this TV Chosun comedy drama, the production team has shared a glimpse into the onscreen rivalry between Kim Hee Sun and Han Ji Hye. Hee Sun will play Jo Na Jung, a former top home shopping host who gave up her career to take care of her two children. Ji Hye will appear as Yang Mi Sook, Na Jung’s rival in the mini-series.
The newly released stills tease a reunion between the two women after 27 years, as they meet again as a landlord and a tenant. Mi Sook unexpectedly meets Na Jung on her visit to a real estate office. During the meeting, Mi Sook realized that Na Jung is the only one who will stay in her house. Though Na Jung greets Mi Sook with a friendly smile, Mi Sook does not respond in the same way.
“In this scene, Kim Hee Sun and Han Ji Hye, who were nemeses during their school days, reunite years later in the most realistic of places: a real estate office, a place where one’s survival is on the line. Please look forward to this moment in which nemeses Kim Hee Sun and Han Ji Hye meet, as well as the savage bickering between 40-something women who have met again after 27 years,” the production team teased.
