Actress Han Ji-hye perfectly transformed into the overly perceptive Yang Mi-sook.

In episode 2 of TV CHOSUN's Monday-Tuesday miniseries "Because There Is No Next Life" (directed by Kim Jeong-min / written by Shin Yi-won / produced by T.M. Group, Firstman Studio, Megaphone), which aired on the 11th, Han Ji-hye drew attention by appearing as Yang Mi-sook, who applied to Sweet Home Shopping's reemployment program for those escaping the 경단 life.

True to her reputation for high recognition in the mobile live commerce market, Yang Mi-sook remained composed in the interview room and sneered when her old enemy Jo Na-jung (Kim Hee-seon) entered the room, saying, "Jjon Najung? What, didn't you say you already work here? You lie without knowing how small the world is." She then called Sweet Home Shopping the major leagues and, saying, "It would be a waste to stay in the minor leagues," reinforced her determination to join Sweet Home Shopping and showed confidence.

In fact, reports say Han Ji-hye has been working hard to portray convincingly even in short scenes the cornered look of Yang Mi-sook who strives for her career, the smooth rhetoric, and the grit that gets things done once she decides. During episode 2's blind test scene, Han Ji-hye vividly brought out Yang Mi-sook's unique charm and eloquence, heightening interest, and viewers have expressed support, saying, "Han Ji-hye seems like a real show host," "She could enter home shopping right now," and "She's so cute when she calls Jjon Najung."

In this way, Han Ji-hye is capturing viewers' hearts on the home screen with steady acting and 30s-40s wannabe visuals. Anticipation is building for how the showdown between Han Ji-hye as Yang Mi-sook and Kim Hee-seon will unfold in the upcoming story.

"Because There Is No Next Life" is a comic coming-of-age story about three 41-year-old friends exhausted by the same day, the war of parenting, and the hamster-wheel of work as they stumble toward a better "complete life." It stars Kim Hee-seon, Han Hye-jin, Jin Seo-yeon, and Han Ji-hye, and airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m.
