Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ (directed by Kim Chul-gyu, written by Sung Yoon-ah, Jo Won-dong) has confirmed its release date for March 3, and has released character posters of the three generations of mother and daughter, Jeon Hye-jin, Jo Min-soo, and Kim Sa-rang, riding ‘Riding Life’.

‘Riding Life’ is a drama that depicts the life of a three-generation mother and daughter 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, to ride her school bike. ‘7-year-old civil service exam’ is a new word referring to the entrance test to send a child to a famous English academy. It depicts the early childhood private education scene, where mothers’ war-like academy rides unfold, in a fun and realistic way.

The released character posters contain the various positions and thoughts of the three generations of mothers and daughters who have jumped into Daechi-dong life. Lee Jung-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin), a passionate working mom who doesn‘t want to miss out on work or her daughter’s education, Yoon Ji-ah (played by Jo Min-soo), who goes on a academy ride for her granddaughter at her daughter Jung-eun‘s request, and Hong Seo-yoon (played by Kim Sa-rang), Jung-eun’s lovely daughter. The inner thoughts of the three generations of mothers and daughters are expressed with lively emoticons, drawing attention.

Jeon Hye-jin shows the busy working mom appearance of going to work to raise her child right after work. Jung-eun is running without even taking her employee ID off her neck. The copy, “Mom will be there soon, wait,” makes us curious about Jung-eun‘s busy working mom life and the story of how she became so passionate about education.



The copy, “You don’t know everything because you’re a mom?” and Jo Min-soo’s bewildered expression foreshadow conflict between mother and daughter. As Ji-ah enters the world of riding while holding her granddaughter’s hand, she encounters a completely different world from when she was raising her daughter, Jeong-eun, and reflects on her relationship with her daughter.

Kim Sa-rang, who plays the child actress Hong Seo-yoon, “Jeon Hye-jin’s daughter,” exudes a cute presence with an innocent smile and says, “I’ll do everything Mom likes.” Kim Sa-rang, who plays Seo-yoon, the “healing character” who connects Jeong-eun and Ji-ah, foreshadows the “birth of a child star” with her adept acting that surprises even adults.

The production team said, “The synergy created by trustworthy actors Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo, and child actress Kim Sa-rang will exceed expectations,” and “We have realistically illuminated the early childhood education scene that has not been seen in existing dramas, and within it, the story of a mother and daughter of three generations has been captured with ‘200% relatability.’ We ask for your interest and anticipation until the first broadcast.’

‘Riding Life’ will be first broadcast on Genie TV and ENA on Monday, March 3 at 10 p.m.
