Attention is focused on how she will appear this time and how she will explode with laughter.

Meanwhile, ‘First Ride’(tentative title) is a witty depiction of a couple in crisis who have declared a breakup, and is a hot topic as the new work of director Nam Dae-joong who received favorable reviews for ‘30 Days’.
