Why is Jeon Hye-jin, who is in a “riding life”, wandering the streets with a mental breakdown?

The Genie TV original drama “Riding Life” (directed by Kim Chul-gyu/written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong/planned by KT Studio Genie/produced by Betty & Creators), which will be first aired on the afternoon of the 3rd, is a drama that depicts the life of three generations of mothers and daughters in Daechi-dong as Jeong-eun, a passionate working mom about to take the “7-year-old civil service exam”, entrusts her mother Ji-ah with her academy riding. It is gaining attention as a drama that sheds light on the private education scene for children, represented by the “7-year-old civil service exam”.

Above all, attention is focused on Jeon Hye-jin‘s “sticky” acting as she returns as a working mom. Jeon Hye-jin leads the drama as Jeong-eun, a passionate working mom who does not want to fall behind in both work and childcare. Jeon Hye-jin will realistically portray the daily life of working mom Jeong-eun, who fights a war every day. Jeon Hye-jin’s acting, which will be more immersive than ever, is expected to raise expectations.



In the midst of this, the released still cuts from Episode 1 of ‘Riding Life’ capture Jeong-eun in a state of mental breakdown. She has received a call that her daughter Seo-yoon (played by Kim Sa-rang), who should be at her English academy, has disappeared. Although the company is always anxious about when and how they will contact her daughter, this unexpected news makes Jeong-eun‘s mind go blank.

Jeong-eun runs out of the company and wanders the streets in tears, looking for Seo-yoon. Jeong-eun’s expression, overcome with worry and anxiety, creates tension. Also, the sight of Jung-eun feeling her heart sink while receiving a phone call raises curiosity about where Seo-yoon disappeared to and what happened.

The production team said, “Jung-eun’s daily life, where she laughs and cries because of her daughter and rides a roller coaster several times a day, is depicted from the first episode without being able to take your eyes off her. We ask for a lot of interest in Jeon Hye-jin’s passionate acting, which has expressed the feelings of a working mom better than anyone else. You will be able to see Jeon Hye-jin’s ability to immerse viewers in an instant with her acting that draws empathy while also flowing with her daily life acting,” and announced the comeback of ‘trustworthy Jeon Hye-jin.

Meanwhile, Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ will be released for the first time on Monday, March 3rd at 10 PM through Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
