Actress Jeon Hye-jin returns to the small screen as a passionate mom with ‘Riding Life’.

The Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’, which will be released on Monday, March 3rd (directed by Kim Cheol-gyu/written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong/planned by KT Studio Genie/produced by Betty & Creators), is a drama that depicts the life of a 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 with riding lessons. It is gaining attention as a drama that vividly illuminates the early childhood private education scene, represented by ‘7-Year-Old Civil Service Exam’.

In particular, as Jeon Hye-jin’s comeback to the small screen is garnering attention, she will be giving a passionate performance as Jeong Eun, a beauty industry marketer and a ‘passionate working mom’ who does not want to fall behind in her 7-year-old daughter‘s education. Jeong Eun’s concerns, who cannot give up on either her career or childcare, are also similar to Jeon Hye-jin‘s concerns as an actual working mom, increasing the immersion even more.

Jeon Hye-jin said about the reason she chose the drama, “As someone who is interested in education (like Jeong-eun), I was very interested in the script. ”I read the script with a mixture of empathy and surprise because it’s a story that deals with realistic material,“ she said, raising expectations by saying, ”There are scenes where I get a call from my daughter while I‘m at work, or where I run out after receiving a call from kindergarten. I especially empathized with that because I’ve received such calls on set before.“

Jeon Hye-jin wanted to portray the conflicting sides of Jeong-eun in both work and parenting. She said, ”At work, Jeong-eun is a veteran and has experience and skills, so she exudes confidence. However, it‘s different as a mother. There are unexpected situations where the sitter disappears and quits. That’s why I always feel uneasy and things don‘t always go as planned. I thought these everyday differences would breathe life into the character of Jeong-eun,” she added, interpreting the character.

Jeon Hye-jin also shared her experience by saying, “I’m also living a ‘riding life’ right now,” and “However, I’m not a mother who is as passionate about education as Jeong-eun, so (after deciding to appear in the drama) I studied riding hard by watching YouTube videos and joining mom cafes.” This raised curiosity about how the drama will portray the new world of riding experienced by mothers by Jeon Hye-jin.

Lastly, Jeon Hye-jin said about the point to watch, “‘Riding life’ is our story. Jeong-eun is a character who represents all working moms, but she also represents the feelings of all parents who have to raise children. Through Jeong Eun-i, you will be able to see how we change the moment we become parents,” he said, asking for anticipation.

Meanwhile, Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’, which foreshadows Jeon Hye-jin’s transformation into a passionate mom, will be first released on Monday, March 3rd at 10 PM through Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
