The first still cuts of Jeon Hye-jin, who has returned as a passionate working mom in ‘Riding Life’, have been revealed, drawing attention.

The Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ (directed by Kim Chul-gyu/written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong/planned by KT Studio Genie/produced by Betty & Creators), which will be released on Monday, March 3, is a drama that depicts the life of three generations of mothers and daughters in Daechi-dong as Jeong-eun, a passionate working mom who is about to take her daughter‘s ‘7-year-old civil service exam’, entrusts her mother Ji-ah with riding for the academy. ‘7-year-old civil service exam’ is a new word meaning an entrance exam for a famous English academy, and it sheds light on the recently popular private education scene for young children.

Jeon Hye-jin is at the center of expectations for ‘Riding Life’. Jeon Hye-jin, who has played strong and bold characters so far, showed a familiar yet new face through her previous work, the Genie TV original drama ‘NamNam’. In ‘NamNam’, she took off as a reckless mother, and thanks to this, both the drama and her acting received favorable reviews. Jeon Hye-jin returns with a more relatable character and leads ‘Riding Life’.



Jeon Hye-jin’s role, Jung Eun, is a fierce beauty industry marketer who also is a ‘passionate working mom’ who doesn‘t want to fall behind in her 7-year-old daughter’s education. The released still cuts show Jung Eun running back and forth between work and her daughter‘s academy. Jung Eun, who has jumped into the competition with other mothers, shines with determination that she will do anything for her daughter. She also shows the image of a mother who wants to be cool in front of her daughter, even though she is tired and exhausted. The appearance of Jeong-eun, who could be found somewhere in Daechi-dong, makes us look forward to Jeon Hye-jin’s ‘character-fitting’ acting.

Jeon Hye-jin said, “Jeong-eun is a person who works hard and does well in everything. Even in an environment where nothing is easy, I can‘t help but root for her as she works hard to catch two rabbits: work and childcare.“ The production team said, “You can look forward to Jeon Hye-jin’s new life character that will further solidify her title as a ‘trustworthy treasure. You can‘t help but sympathize with the story of Jeong-eun, who stands at the center of a family of three generations. Jeon Hye-jin has immersively portrayed the story of Jeong-eun, who is both the image of all mothers and a daughter before being a mother,” they asked for anticipation.

Meanwhile, Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ is garnering much attention with the combination of director Kim Chul-gyu, who was recognized for his directing skills in ‘Mother’ ‘Flower of Evil’, and actors with solid acting skills such as Jeon Hye-jin, Jo Min-soo, Jeon Seok-ho, and Jung Jin-young. It will be first released on Monday, March 3rd at 10 PM through Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
