‘Riding Life’ has released a highlight video ahead of its premiere on March 3rd. The story of those who have jumped into academy riding, including mother and daughter Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo, has piqued the interest of viewers.

Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ (directed by Kim Chul-gyu/written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong) is a drama that depicts the life of three generations of mother and daughter in Daechi-dong as Jung 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 taking care of her academy riding. The ‘Trustworthy’ actors Jeon Hye-jin, Jo Min-soo, Jung Jin-young, and Jeon Seok-ho have joined forces with ‘Drama craftsman’ Director Kim Chul-gyu who directed ‘Mother’‘Flower of Evil’.

The released highlight video begins with Jung-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin), who is a perennial section chief, busy with work and childcare. Jung-eun was once a legend who hit the jackpot with everything she touched, but now, her situation is humorously portrayed as she runs out after receiving a call from her daughter during lunchtime. Jung-eun suddenly begs her mother Ji-ah (played by Jo Min-soo) to “please save me” when her sitter is suddenly absent, and asks her daughter Seo-yoon (played by Kim Sa-rang) to take her for a ride. Ji-ah, a “beginner rider” who accidentally enters an English academy in Daechi-dong, ends up raising her child unexpectedly while receiving pitiful looks as if “another poor person has come here.”

Then, the breathless life of a mother and daughter in Daechi-dong begins, with the goal of “passing the civil service exam at age 7.” Jeong-eun consoles Seo-yoon, who hates studying, saying, “You have to solve this to get into class A,” and firmly tells her, “Your dad is a company employee, so you can’t be a princess.” While Ho-kyung (Park Bo-kyung), the “Super Mom of Daechi-dong,” encourages the other mothers and ostracizes Jeong-eun and Ji-ah, Jeong-eun‘s determination, “As long as Seo-yoon does well, I’ll do anything,” makes us wonder about the turbulent future of the three generations of mother and daughter trying to survive in Daechi-dong.

The highlight video of “Riding Life” caught everyone‘s attention as it vividly and humorously captured the early childhood private education scene in Daechi-dong. Children who have been receiving English cursive lessons since they were toddlers, grandparents who have jumped into raising their children in their twilight years, and the affection and blossoming romance between mother and daughter that can be felt even in the midst of intense riding have raised expectations for a drama that has everything: empathy, laughter, excitement, and touching moments. In addition to the real-life working mom Jeon Hye-jin’s ‘All-in-one’ acting, the acting parade of all the actors, including Jo Min-soo, Jung Jin-young, Jeon Seok-ho, Park Bo-kyung, and even child actress Kim Sa-rang, who will increase the sense of immersion in reality, has garnered attention.

Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’, which has raised expectations with the release of a highlight video, will be released for the first time on Monday, March 3rd at 10 PM through Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
