‘Riding Life’ Jeon Hye-jin revealed the fraudulent admissions scandal at a prestigious private elementary school.

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) aired on the 24th, Jeong-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin) avoided the crisis of being kicked out of her daughter Seo-yoon‘s (played by Kim Sa-rang) English academy. Instead, she turned the English academy upside down by revealing the fraudulent admissions scandal at a prestigious elementary school committed by Ho-kyung (played by Park Bo-kyung), the supermom of Daechi-dong who tried to kick them out.

Jeong-eun was hit in the back of the head during the vote of the class A mothers led by Ho-kyung. Jeong-eun, who had firmly believed in getting into class A, protested, but Ho-kyung asked her to leave the academy depending on the results. An even more shocking fact was revealed. Jeong-eun’s mother Ji-ah (played by Jo Min-soo) started dating Ho-kyung‘s father-in-law Young-wook (played by Jung Jin-young) while riding at the academy. Also, Ho-kyung found out that the middle school student who protected Ji-ah was ‘Song Joo-hee’. At the time, Jung-eun had given up on going to a foreign language high school because her mother had lost her job, so the two became entangled in another bad relationship.

Jung-eun poured out her resentment, saying that it was all because of Ji-ah. Jung-eun shouted, “How can Mom do this to me? It’s not enough that she made me feel down, and now she‘s my daughter?” and “She can’t even see her own daughter who‘s right in front of her.” She said that she always told her that she was okay because she was worried that it would be hard for her to raise her daughter alone when she was young, and she brought out her suppressed emotions, saying, “How could you never ask me once? Are you really okay? It’s been so hard living as your daughter.”

Ji-ah was shocked by the fact that she had hurt her daughter, and she shed tears of regret and guilt. She returned the ring she received from Young-wook, broke up with him, and left home. Jung-eun told Seo-yoon, “Now, Mom will do everything,” and deleted Ji-ah‘s contact information from Seo-yoon’s phone.

Jung-eun tried to transfer Seo-yoon to an English academy, but there was a long waiting line even to take the level test. While she was at a loss, Jung-eun received a tip from her friend Ji-sook (Park Soo-yeon) that there was corruption in the lottery for a prestigious private elementary school, and through a past tip-off, she found an internal whistleblower who could prove Ho-kyung‘s corruption. It was Min-ho’s English tutor who had been ignored and kicked out by Ho-kyung. Jung-eun declared war on Ho-kyung in front of all the mothers at the English academy, saying, “You have to take back Seo-yoon‘s position that you took away,” and it was thrilling.

A storm of developments unfolded before the final episode. Jeong-eun was able to uncover Ho-kyung’s wrongdoings and help Seo-yoon get into Class A. However, her daughter Seo-yoon received a psychological test result that said she was ‘obsessed with grades’ and also had a fierce fight with her mother Ji-ah and became distant. With the developments that are expected to be unsettling until the final episode, will the three generations of mother and daughter Jeong-eun, Ji-ah, and Seo-yoon be able to laugh together at the end of ‘Riding Life’? Attention is focused on the final story, as viewers continue to send their wishes for the happiness of the mother and daughter.

The final episode of Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ will be released on Channel ENA on March 25th (Tuesday) at 10 PM, and will be exclusively released as a free VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the original broadcast. OTT can be viewed on Tving.
