The charisma of Lee Hye-ri, who controls the atmosphere of ‘Friendly Competition’, is attracting attention.

STUDIO X+U drama ‘Friendly Competition’ (Planned by: STUDIO X+U / Produced by: YLAB FLEX, STUDIO X+U / Directed by: Kim Tae-hee / Scriptwriters: Kim Tae-hee, Min Ye-ji), which will be aired for the first time on February 10, released a pre-release video on February 4. The pre-release video, which allows viewers to see the atmosphere of the 2nd class 3rd year classroom of Chaehwa Girls‘ High School, the setting of the drama, has captured the attention of potential viewers.

The released video begins with transfer student Woo Seul-gi (played by Jung Soo-bin), who is the only one wearing a different uniform, buying a used Chaehwa Girls’ High School uniform. Yoo Je-yi (played by Lee Hye-ri) approaches Woo Seul-gi and asks, “Why are you sitting here?”, flustering Jung Soo-bin. Woo Seul-gi, who was supposed to sit with Yoo Je-i, switches seats with another friend by herself.



“I can’t see the blackboard well,” Woo Seul-gi answers, to which Yoo Je-i calmly replies, “Then why don’t you move with me?” and asks the friend next to Woo Seul-gi to switch seats. Woo Seul-gi stops him, saying, “Don’t bother the other kids too much.”

The atmosphere in the classroom turns cold because of Yoo Je-i, who hesitates for a moment. Even the other students are frozen in an awkward situation. However, Yoo Je-i says, “If that’s what you think, then okay,” and returns to his seat.

Kim Na-ri (Go Da-hyun), who wanted to be Yoo Je-i’s partner, is waiting next to him. Kim Na-ri tactlessly tells Yoo Je-yi, “It‘s been my dream to be paired up with you,” and “I’m nervous because it‘s my first time paired up with someone who studies well like you,” to which Yoo Je-yi coldly replies, “This is my first time sitting with a partner I didn’t choose.”

In the heavy atmosphere, Kim Na-ri and Woo Seul-gi, who is sitting in front of her, are also watching each other. Yoo Je-yi suddenly lets out a childish laugh, turning the mood around once again. The charisma of Yoo Je-yi, who dominates the atmosphere of Class 2, Grade 3, leaves a strong impression on the viewers, making them look forward to the main episode of ‘Good Competition’.

Meanwhile, STUDIO X+U‘s drama ‘Good Competition’ is a mystery girl thriller surrounding ‘Seul-gi’, a transfer student to Chaehwa Girls’ High School, one of the top 1% in Korea where a cutthroat college entrance exam competition takes place, friends who reveal their own desires, and the suspicious death of her father, who was a member of the CSAT committee. It is scheduled to be released on U+tv and U+mobile tv every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at midnight, starting Monday, February 10.
