Lee Hye-ri steps down from her position as the top student in the school.
STUDIO X+U‘s drama ‘Good Competition’ (directed by Kim Tae-hee, written by Kim Tae-hee and Min Ye-ji) has only two episodes left until its finale. High school seniors Yoo Je-i (played by Lee Hye-ri) and Woo Seul-gi (played by Jung Soo-bin) are caught up in the mystery of the death of Woo Do-hyeok (played by Lee Won-jae), a member of the college entrance exam committee, at a time when they should be focusing solely on the college entrance exam. Episode 15 of ‘Good Competition’, which will be released on the 5th, will tell the story of Chae Hwa Girls’ High School students who took their final exams amidst a storm of incidents.
In the meantime, the still cuts released by the production team of ‘Good Competition’ show the different expressions of Jay, Seul-gi, and Choi Kyung (played by Oh Woo-ri) as they check the rankings for the entire school on the final exams. Jay looking upset, Seul-gi losing her energy, and Kyung-yi looking strangely happy. The contrasting expressions of Jay and Seulgi, who were first in the entire school in the midterms, and Kyung-yi, who was always second, hint at an unexpected change in rankings in the finals.
Jay is then caught facing his father, Yoo Tae-joon (played by Kim Tae-hoon), with a serious expression. The fact that Jay, who had previously promised Tae-joon, “I will gladly become your proud daughter,” lost out on first place in the entire school is something Tae-joon cannot accept. Jay proposes a secret deal to Tae-joon regarding this. Attention is being paid to what kind of deal Jay will offer Tae-joon and whether Tae-joon will accept it.
Joo Ye-ri (played by Kang Hye-won) seems to be moving in earnest with Nam Byung-jin (played by Young-jae). Ye-ri and Byung-jin, who value money more than anything else, also did things together when Tae-joon asked them to do them. It makes us wonder if they are really on the same boat now, and if so, what they will do together.
Meanwhile, Seulgi goes out to find Jay, who has been avoiding her. Unlike in the past when Jay would always seek Seulgi out first, Seulgi finds Jay first. What kind of conversation will the two people who met at the pool have here, and what changes will this bring to their relationship?
The final episode of ‘Friendly Competition’ will be released at midnight on Thursday the 6th.
