Share this

TV CHOSUN’s upcoming drama No Next Life has just released new stills and they’re filled with nostalgia, laughter, and a touch of midlife chaos. Starring Kim Hee Sun, Han Hye Jin, and Jin Seo Yeon, the series dives deep into what it means to grow older, lose your spark, and somehow find yourself again between laundry piles and sleepless nights.

🌆 What’s the Vibe?

If you love dramas that feel real, this one’s for you. No Next Life follows three women in their 40s tired from juggling work, family, and endless expectations as they rediscover who they used to be.

It’s a heartfelt comedy about friendship, womanhood, and the quiet courage to start over. Because even when life feels like a rerun, there’s always one more episode worth watching.

✨ Meet the Women Who Rule the Chaos

  • 👠 Kim Hee Sun plays Jo Na Jung, once a top home-shopping star now trying to balance motherhood and memories of her glamorous past.

  • 🎨 Han Hye Jin takes on the role of Gu Joo Young, an art center director who seems to “have it all” except the peace she truly needs. Behind her picture-perfect life lies a story of infertility, heartbreak, and rediscovery.

  • 📰 Jin Seo Yeon shines as Lee Il Li, a bold magazine editor who’s still single, still dreaming, and still holding on to her own definition of love.

🥂 Two Timelines, One Unbreakable Bond

The drama moves beautifully between two timelines 2011 and 2025.

  • ✨ Then: The trio gathers at Il Li’s rooftop bar, full of dreams and endless possibilities.
  • 💤 Now: They reunite in a cozy, toy-filled living room, sipping wine and reminiscing about the paths they took with laughter, regrets, and resilience.

It’s a touching reminder that even as time changes everything, true friendship never fades.

🌌 KRUNIME Verdict

No Next Life feels like a drama that sneaks into your heart funny, warm, and painfully honest. It’s not about magical makeovers or picture-perfect love stories. It’s about real people growing through the chaos of life, not just growing older.

With a powerhouse cast Kim Hee Sun, Han Hye Jin, and Jin Seo Yeon this series promises a blend of humor, emotion, and nostalgia.

So grab a glass of wine, text your friends, and get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe even call your besties to say: “We made it this far.” 🥹
