She is as ‘hot’ as her honest personality. She doesn‘t beat around the bush or try to hide it.

Jo Min-soo said, “To be honest, I was reluctant when I first received the offer to appear,” as she returned to the small screen after a long time.
She will appear in the new ENA drama ‘Riding Life’, which will air from March 3rd, as Jeon Hye-jin’s biological mother and a grandmother with a granddaughter.

The drama is a family drama that depicts what happens when the ‘working mom’ main character asks her biological mother, who was a ‘single mom’, to ‘ride’ her daughter to her academy.

In the drama, Jo Min-soo plays Yoon Ji-ah, Jung-eun‘s mother and a pediatric art therapist at a university hospital. Ji-ah, who entered Daechi-dong unexpectedly, creates a new atmosphere among the mothers by teaching her granddaughter in her own way.

She attended the production presentation held online on the 25th ahead of the first broadcast and honestly said, “Actually, at first, I didn’t like (the role). I still have a lot to do, but I wondered if I should act as a grandmother already.”

She continued, “(Ji-ah’s) age is something I’ve never experienced before and I felt awkward. It’s a difficult role for me, but aren’t we people who live by expressing ourselves? When I listen to adults, they say that raising grandchildren is the most stressful, so I wondered how I could express that.” She said, “But as I did it, I found the character very attractive. She’s not a very cool person, but she lives without being mean, is moderately just, and knows how to love people.”
