Actress Jeon Hye-jin is returning to dramas.

She will appear as a ‘working mom’ through the Genie TV·ENA drama ‘Riding Life’, which will be aired for the first time on March 3rd.

This drama is drawing attention as it is Jeon Hye-jin‘s return to dramas after losing her husband, the late actor Lee Sun-kyun.

The drama depicts the life of a mother and daughter of three generations 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 her riding academy. ‘7-year-old civil service exam’ is a new word referring to an entrance test to send a child to a famous English academy. The war-like scene of early childhood private education is depicted humorously and realistically.

The production team attracted attention by releasing drama posters and other items on the 20th ahead of the first broadcast.

The character posters released that day contained the positions and thoughts of three mothers and daughters who jumped into the life of Daechi-dong, Seoul.

The inner thoughts of the three mothers and daughters, including Lee Jung-eun (Jeon Hye-jin), a passionate working mom who doesn‘t want to miss out on work or her daughter’s education, Yoon Ji-ah (Jo Min-soo), who rides her granddaughter‘s academy at her daughter Jung-eun’s request, and Hong Seo-yoon (Kim Sa-rang), Jung-eun‘s lovely daughter, were expressed with emoticons.

Jeon Hye-jin shows herself as a busy working mom who goes to work to take care of her child after work.

The scene where he runs without even taking his employee ID off his neck makes us wonder why he is so passionate about education.

The production team said, “The synergy created by Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo, who we trust and watch, and child actress Kim Sa-rang will exceed expectations,” and “We have realistically illuminated the early childhood private education scene that has not been seen in existing dramas, and within that, we have captured the story of a mother and daughter of three generations with 200% relatability.”
