The private life of Lee Hye-ri, a top 0.1% high school student in ‘Fair Competition’, has been revealed.

STUDIO X+U‘s drama ‘Fair Competition’ (directed by Kim Tae-hee / written by Kim Tae-hee, Min Ye-ji) will be first aired on February 10th at midnight.

Meanwhile, ‘Fair Competition’ production team has released still cuts that give a glimpse into the private life of Yoo Je-yi (played by Lee Hye-ri), the top student in Chaehwa Girls’ High School, ahead of the first airing.

In the first still cut, the sight of her preparing an injection catches the eye. This is the medical club room at Chaehwa Girls‘ High School, and with the full support of Yoo Je-yi’s father, J Medical Center Director Yoo Tae-joon (played by Kim Tae-hoon), it is equipped with professional equipment like an actual medical facility. In order to follow in his father‘s footsteps and become a doctor, Yoo Je-yi aims to enter the most prestigious medical school in the drama, Korea University. Not only does he have excellent grades, he also thoroughly completes internships, building up perfect qualifications.

The second still cut shows Yoo Je-yi having blood drawn every day at his father Yoo Tae-joon’s hospital to maintain the best health for his studies. His appearance of thoroughly taking care of his physical strength in order to do his best in his studies shows Yoo Je-yi‘s side, not just aiming to be the top student in the entire school, but a perfect human being.

However, the next still cut shows an unexpected twist. Yoo Je-yi’s shocking pink hair, bold outfit, and dancing at a club leave a strong impression. The dizzying other side of the top student in Chaehwa Girls‘ High School leaves a strong impact on viewers. Also, Yoo Je-yi’s provocative and dreamy expression arouses curiosity about the background of this scene.

In the last still cut, Yoo Je-yi invites transfer student Woo Seul-gi (played by Jung Soo-bin) to his house and enjoys bathing together in the same bathtub. In the bathtub, Yoo Je-yi‘s hand caressing Woo Seul-gi’s face creates a deadly tension, and makes viewers even more curious about why Yoo Je-yi invited Woo Seul-gi to his house and what kind of feelings he has for her.

The production team of ‘Good Competition’ said, “Next week‘s ‘Good Competition’ episodes 1-4 will show the burning passion of Chae Hwa Girls’ High School students, including Yoo Je-yi, for their college entrance exams, as well as the process of Yoo Je-yi gradually getting closer to transfer student Woo Seul-gi.” They continued, “Please look forward to the hidden side of Yoo Je-yi, who seems perfect, and the interesting changes in the relationship between Yoo Je-yi and Woo Seul-gi.”

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