Actress Han Hye-jin is drawing deep empathy from viewers with her realistic portrayal of everyday emotions in the TV CHOSUN Monday-Tuesday mini-series 'No Second Chances'.

In the episode aired on the 17th, Han Hye-jin showcased the warmth of a supportive friend in her relationships and depicted complex emotions, shifting between honesty and suspicion, in front of her husband. While displaying a comfortable and bright demeanor with her friends, creating a 'best friend' chemistry, she also evoked a sense of strong friendship by comforting and empathizing with her friend, Il-lee (Jin Seo-yeon), who was angered by her ex-boyfriend's new relationship. Simultaneously, scenes where she hid her worries about her marital life and pregnancy, unable to confide even in her closest friend, added a touch of realistic bitterness.

In front of her husband Sang-min (Jang In-seop), she revealed a more honest and serious side. She expressed joy at his proposal for marriage counseling and actively participated, while her suspicion began to grow with the discovery of an unfamiliar long hair in the car and a mysterious pair of underwear under his desk, escalating the tension. Han Hye-jin's nuanced performance, capturing her confusion despite Sang-min's explanations, maximized viewer immersion.

Han Hye-jin has brought the character of Gu Ju-young closer to the viewers, making her feel as familiar as a friend next door. She presented the character's diverse charms through detailed, delicate emotional acting and convincing performances. While forming a sense of connection with the natural and cheerful 'best friend moments' with her friends and the 'realistic marital chemistry' with her husband, she vividly expressed the growing anxiety and confusion from the moment suspicion began to creep in, naturally drawing viewers into the character's emotions.

'No Second Chances' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM on TV CHOSUN.

Viewers reacted positively after the broadcast, with comments like, 'Han Hye-jin's acting feels like my own story,' 'The emotions she feels towards her friends and husband are so realistic, I can relate,' and 'I'm so curious about what happens next.'
