Yoon Hyun-soo, Lee Jeong-sik, Choi Woo-sung, Hong Hwa-yeon, Lee Bong-jun, and Kim Ji-woo begin an unpredictable election war, an ‘all-out war’.

The production team of Tving original ‘Running Mate’ (directed and written by Han Jin-won)released the images of Noh Se-hoon(played by Yoon Hyun-soo), Kwak Sang-hyun(played by Lee Jung-sik), Yang Won-dae(played by Choi Woo-sung), Yoon Jeong-hee(played by Hong Hwa-yeon), Park Ji-hoon(played by Lee Bong-joon), and Ha Yu-kyung(played by Kim Ji-woo)competing for the student council president position on the 19th.Attention is being paid to what awaits them after the fierce election, from the heated cheering and election campaigns that have the entire school excited, to the unimaginable battle of public opinion.

‘Running Mate’ is a cheerful high teen political drama about Noh Se-hoon, who becomes the butt of jokes for the entire school due to an unexpected incident, and runs towards being elected as the vice president of the student body president after overcoming all kinds of tricks.The boiling desires and joys and sorrows of the youth in the fierce high school student body president election, as well as the friendship that shines amidst them and the warm story of growth are expected to provide a different kind of fun.

The photos released by the production team are arousing interest with the colorful appearances of Kwak Sang-hyun’s camp and Yangwon University’s camp, which have entered the full-scale election campaign.First, the change in Noh Se-hoon, who has finished registering as a candidate for student body president and has grabbed hearts, seems to foreshadow the storm that will hit him.Noh Se-hoon, who received the ‘pick’ of Kwak Sang-hyun, the wannabe of Youngjin High School students, and rose from being the school’s humiliating guy to the ‘popular guy’, will be able to successfully transform his image, and it makes one wonder if he will be able to do so in the roller coaster-like month ahead.




The intense battle of nerves between Kwak Sang-hyun and Yangwon University, who are fiercely competing as student body president candidates, was also captured.The heat of the election campaign, where one must ‘win no matter what’, is conveyed in a fierce battle without any hesitation.The campaign is also exciting.The determined faces of Yangwon University, Ha Yu-kyung, and Park Ji-hoon, who are trying to win the students ‘hearts with the campaign slogan’ Small changes create a big school ‘, raise curiosity about the strategies they will use as a cheat key for victory.In addition, the serious appearance of Kwak Sang-hyun’s camp, holding hands and waiting for the election results, also creates tension.The campaign slogan ‘Only one, only you, hold on tight to the choice for me, Kwak Sang-hyun’, which is clearly different from the Yangwon University camp, is also interesting.With the six candidates and the students supporting each camp, attention is focused on who will have the last laugh in the election campaign that has been completed with passion.

The production team said, “We portrayed how complex the emotions and choices of teenagers can be through the war-like election that unfolds at school.The characters ‘conflicts and wavering at every moment of choice will bring empathy and immersion to viewers.” They continued, “The energy and vivid chemistry of the unique new actors doubled the unique fun of the teen political drama.Please watch the story of growth and relationships that goes beyond simple victory or defeat.”

‘ Running Mate’ will be released in full on Tving on the 19th.
