Translation

The answer that Jeon Hye-jin and Jo Min-soo found after running through ‘Riding Life’ will be revealed.

The final episode 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 25th, will depict the ending of the mother-daughter conflict between Jeong-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin) and Ji-ah (played by Jo Min-soo), which started during Seo-yoon‘s (played by Kim Sa-rang) school ride. Jeong-eun and Ji-ah, who fought with each other and poured out their feelings of resentment, are expected to resonate greatly with viewers as the story of their growth as mothers once again. Here are some key points to watch ahead of the final episode.

● Jeong-eun’s big decision and realization, what kind of mother will she be to Seo-yoon?

Jeong-eun, who had given up her dreams because of her mother Ji-ah when she was young, wanted to raise her daughter Seo-yoon differently from herself. That‘s why she did her best as a working mom. Jeong-eun thought that Ji-ah was blocking not only her but also Seo-yoon’s future, and she vented her suppressed feelings to Ji-ah. She decided not to let Ji-ah ride Seo-yoon‘s academy anymore. The final episode depicts Jeong-eun’s big decision. She resigns and decides to devote herself to raising Seo-yoon and do everything she couldn‘t do for her. However, Jeong-eun belatedly realizes what Seo-yoon really wants, and realizes what she has been missing as a mother. Whether Jeong-eun will quit her job like this and what kind of mother she will be to Seo-yoon are all the focus of attention on the growth of working mom Jeong-eun.



● Will Ji-ah be able to reconcile with Jeong-eun? And what will happen to her romance with Young-wook?

Ji-ah regrets not being able to see her daughter Jeong-eun’s wounds right in front of her. Jung-eun, who thought she had grown up well on her own, was enduring her pain alone, and Jung-eun‘s words, “It’s so hard to live as a mother‘s daughter,” stuck in Ji-ah like a thorn. Will Ji-ah be able to bridge the gap between her and Jung-eun and reconcile? Also, Young-wook (Jung Jin-young), who is leaving for the United States as an exchange professor, has suggested to Ji-ah to go with him. Attention is focused on what Ji-ah will say to Young-wook, who is waiting at the airport, and the direction of Ji-ah and Young-wook’s romance.

● What is the answer found in the fierce Daechi-dong life? The final message of ‘Riding Life’

Like Ho-kyung (Park Bo-kyung) says, “If a mother is not greedy, her child cannot protect his place,” the Daechi-dong academy district is depicted as a place of fierce competition. In the final episode, an incident that shakes up the Daechi moms breaks out. As the children who have been making viewers anxious all this time start having problems, the mothers are also affected. Seo-yoon received a psychological test result that said she was ‘obsessed with grades.’ Min-ho (played by Kwon Yul) was experiencing anxiety symptoms such as biting his fingernails and touching other people‘s belongings due to academic stress. Attention is focused on whether the children will find laughter again, what answers the mothers will find, and the final message that ’Riding Life‘ will convey.

The production team said, “Thank you for joining the journey of ’Riding Life‘ of the three generations of mother and daughter Jeong-eun, Ji-ah, and Seo-yoon. We hope that the viewers will be moved and comforted while running ’Riding Life.‘ The mother and daughter will not have an easy path until the end, but please cheer them on and watch over their growth until the end.”

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