'Because there will be no next life' is a work about a 43-year-old friend growing up trying to restore the balance of life between parenting and the company. The third episode, which aired on the 17th, broke its own record with the highest viewer rating of 2.8% per minute (based on Nielsen Korea), and ranked second in the Naver 'Popular Drama' field. In addition, as of the 21st, it maintained TOP2 in the category of Netflix 'Today's Top 10 Series in Korea', proving its popularity.
In the play, Jonah-jung (Kim Hee-sun) was re-employed in the home shopping industry after a long absence, but she has been creaking since her first day at work. In addition to the blatant checks of bitter rival Yang Mi-sook (Han Ji-hye), Song Ye-na (Ko Won-hee) who sees Jonah-jung as a potential threat, there is no place to leave a mind.
In the fifth episode, which will be broadcast on the 24th, such a harsher moment of 'Loner Dinner' will come to such a person. While Yang Mi-sook and her internship colleagues lead the atmosphere triumphantly, only Jonah-jung endures the feeling of alienation in an ambiguous place. Even Song Ye-na, who is supposed to play the role of a boss and mentor, keeps a distance while turning a blind eye. The awkwardness of having to laugh but not being able to laugh and the distance of having to go in but not being able to put in are revealed as it is.
In this scene, Kim Hee-sun depicted the complex inner side of Jonah-jung 'The Reintroducer of Social Life' in a realistic way. As soon as he hesitates to hold a glass and misses the time to make a toast, scenes where he was unintentionally alone are expected to induce sympathy from viewers. Han Ji-hye completed a scene in which the temperature difference was sharply contrasted, expressing the anger of Yang Mi-sook, who leads the company dinner, and Go Won-hee expressed the cool attitude of Song Ye-na in detail.
The production team said, "Kim Hee-sun accurately points out the realistic emotions of characters from Gyeongdan girl to working mom" and "Kim Hee-sun's in-house survival period begins in earnest between Han Ji-hye and Go Won-hee." Please check it in the fifth episode."
