Why is the mother-daughter conflict between Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo in ‘Riding Life’ reaching its peak?

In episode 7 of 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 released on the 24th, Jung-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin) will be depicted turning away from her mother Ji-ah (played by Jo Min-soo). The scenes of Jung-eun exploding her pent-up emotions and Ji-ah shedding tears are expected to focus attention.

Ji-ah thought that she had raised her daughter Jung-eun well without any difficulties. She was proud of Jung-eun for taking care of herself since she was little. That‘s why she thought Seo-yoon’s (played by Kim Sa-rang) riding was easy. Mi-chun (played by Kim Kwak Kyung-hee) tells Ji-ah, “She probably didn‘t tell me. When she said, “I grew up alone with my mouth shut because I saw how hard mom worked,” he made us guess that there was a story about Jung-eun that was different from Ji-ah’s thoughts.



In the meantime, the still cuts from Episode 7 that were released contain Jung-eun bursting out with her pent-up emotions, drawing attention. Jung-eun sheds tears and pours out her resentful feelings toward Ji-ah. Once she reveals her true feelings, they come flooding out. Ji-ah seems very surprised. Ji-ah’s tears streaming down her face as she looks at Jung-eun make us wonder what kind of conversation and emotions were exchanged between mother and daughter.

In Episode 5, Jung-eun recalled her childhood when she gave up on going to a foreign language high school because of Ji-ah’s circumstances, and she calmly confessed the hurt she felt at that time. Beyond the disappointment, one wonders why Jeong-eun is pouring out her emotions in such anger.

The production team said, ”It was the most important scene for Jeong-eun and Ji-ah, where Ji-ah finally realizes Jeong-eun’s wounds. Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo showed off their passionate acting as they clashed with intense emotions. Please look forward to the great acting scenes of the two actors that the staff on set watched with bated breath.“

Episode 7 of Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ will be released on Channel ENA on Monday, March 24 at 10 p.m., and will be exclusively released as a free VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the original broadcast. It can be viewed on OTT on Tving.
