The film No Next Life (Vietnamese title: Life Only Live Once tells the story of Jo Na Jung (Kim Hee Sun), Gu Joo Young ( Han Hye Jin), Lee Il Li (Jin Seo Yeon) - three 41-year-old women exhausted by various challenges: one struggles to return to work after giving birth, one tries to have a child, one loses faith in marriage.
With good ideas when exploiting the story of middle-aged women, the viewership rating of the movie "Only Live Once" is recorded at a low level, reaching 1.9% and 1.4%, respectively, although the movie only has to compete with one work with the same screenshot, "The Hole of a Man's Disadvantage" starring Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon.
Despite the dismal performance, the acting and interaction of the trio of actors are a plus point in the film. For Kim Hee Sun, she "dethroned" her attractive image to play the role of a woman struggling with housework, taking care of her children and always appearing with curly hair, loose T-shirts, and off-key sneakers.
Meanwhile, Han Hye Jin cleverly depicts the loneliness hidden behind her flashy appearance, while Jin Seo Yeon brings complexity to the character's emotional conflicts. The three characters represent three personalities. They seem to be having a happy and stable life, but behind that are unpredictable feelings that cannot be shared.
Previously, revealing about the character, Kim Hee Sun said that Jo Na Jung is a character that is very easy to sympathize with. The character's personality, voice and actions are very similar to female stars in real life, so she has a lot of connection.
I believe the film will bring a feeling like a previous lesson. It addresses real-life issues like a career disruption, how to raise children well, and how to be a talented woman with both love and career, she said.
Meanwhile, Han Hye Jin emphasized that the biggest reason she accepted to participate in the project was her sympathy and sympathy for Joo Young. In addition, she also wanted to happily depict the friendship between the three women.
Marriage can make people bored and selfish. But with understanding and respect, it can become beautiful. This film made me look at myself, the actress said.
Although the cast has feelings for One Life Only and only set a goal of the film achieving a rating of 5%, with current achievements, the ability to achieve this number is also a challenge.
