In the fifth episode of the TV CHOSUN Monday-Tuesday mini-series `Because There Will Be No Next Life,' which aired on the 24th, Kim Hee-sun, who plays Jonah-jung, drew favorable responses from viewers by unraveling the reality and emotions of working mothers with overwhelming empathy. Kim Hee-sun's 'Hard Carry', which flexibly crosses Neungcheong, comic, sincerity, and life acting, continued to rise by breaking her own highest ratings.
After the live broadcast accident, Na Jeong gets a chance to serve as a sub-show host, but the plan runs aground as mentor Yena (Ko Won-hee) opposes it on the grounds of equity. Instead of counter-attacking immediately, I chose 'coordination of relationships' Na Jeong, who noticed that Yena was excited for her best friend Ili (Jin Seo-yeon), shows the wisdom of connecting the two to release the atmosphere.
In the process, Kim Hee-sun delicately depicted the emotional line of the real world. As if walking a tightrope between Yena and Il-ri, Jonah-jung's anxiety, wit, resignation, and effort were captured in a funny but heartbreaking way, adding to the immersion of the play. However, in the ending, Na-jung found Yena collapsed due to intestinal obstruction, signaling another change.
At the end of the play came a greater shock. Na-jeong exploded tension when she witnessed her husband Won-bin (Yoon Park) with another woman. Attention is focused on what other storms will hit Jonah's daily life.
This episode was the most brilliant time for Kim Hee-sun's close-to-life acting skills. The moment-to-moment facial expressions, breathing, and temperature that vary depending on the situation changed the air of the scene, proving the true value of 'Life Acting Queen' again.
The sixth episode of TV CHOSUN" will air at 10 p.m. on the 25th and will also be available on Netflix.
