Because there is no next life tells the story of a 41-year-old woman who is exhausted by work and raising children. The film stars Kim Hee Sun, Han Hye Jin and Jin Seo Yeon.
Kim Hee Sun will play Jo Na Jung - a former MC of a home shopping show, who gave up her career to become a housewife. Aspiring to return to the spotlight, she had to fight to balance reality and dreams.
Han Hye Jin will play Gu Joo Young - talent planning director of Korea's leading art center. Despite her perfect appearance, she still silently endures trying to have a child with her illegitimate husband.
Jin Seo Yeon will play Lee Il Li - a successful and stylish magazine editor. Although her career is on the rise, she still dreams of getting married.
Korean media assessed that with this project, the 3 actresses initially introduced their careers and the character's unique story.
In particular, Kim Hee Sun had a transformation when wearing fluffy curly hair, wearing a wide T-shirt... This was the first time since her debut that she appeared on screen with such a somewhat simple image.
Sharing about the film, Kim Hee Sun has a lot of sympathy. She said: "I have also temporarily stopped acting for 6 years after getting married. The emotions I experienced during that time were very similar to Jo Na Jung.
Because I went through difficulties and moments when I had to make decisions in real life, the difficulties of the character were not like other people's stories. I hope that Jo Na Jung's journey to find her dream and career after being buried in housework and taking care of her children will inspire the audience to find themselves."
According to the actress, as a woman in her 40s and a mother, she finds the emotions and feelings of the character very easy to sympathize with. Jo Na Jung is the bright and energetic character that Kim Hee Sun played. The character's personality, voice and actions are very similar to female stars in real life, so she has a lot of connection.
Because there is no next life is scheduled to premiere on the evening of November 10.
