‘Friendly Competition’ Lee Hye-ri and Jung Soo-bin foreshadow an unconventional kiss.

STUDIO X+U drama ‘Friendly Competition’ (Planned by: STUDIO X+U / Produced by: YLAB FLEX, STUDIO X+U / Directed by: Kim Tae-hee / Script by: Kim Tae-hee, Min Ye-ji) released a video on February 7th ahead of its first broadcast on February 10th at midnight, which captures the attention of viewers as it shows Yoo Je-i (played by Lee Hye-ri) and Woo Seul-gi (played by Jung Soo-bin) kissing in a bathtub. The sensual directing and the intense chemistry between the two actors are further raising expectations for the main story.



The released video begins with Woo Seul-gi enjoying a bubble bath in a bathtub. Then Yoo Je-yi comes in and takes off his robe and gets into the same bathtub. Woo Seul-gi flinches in surprise at Yoo Je-yi’s unexpected and provocative actions and steps back.

Woo Seul-gi freezes for a moment at Yoo Je-yi’s meaningful question, “Is this your first time?” Yoo Je-yi smiles as if he finds Woo Seul-gi cute and explains the intention of his question, “I mean, taking a bath with a friend.” Woo Seul-gi is even more flustered, perhaps taking it in a different way.



Yoo Je-yi playfully puts foam on Woo Seul-gi’s nose and whispers, “You’re cuter when you’re wet.” Woo Seul-gi’s face turns even redder at Yoo Je-yi’s joke, and she says, “You must have been in the hot water too long. She makes an excuse saying, “It‘s because it’s hot,” but Yoo Je-yi goes one step further and caresses Woo Seul-gi‘s lips, saying, “You weren’t thinking anything strange, were you?”

Amid the dizzying tension, Yoo Je-yi slowly approaches Woo Seul-gi and kisses her. The tense music that follows the moment their lips touch maximizes the immersion, making you fall deeper into the emotions of the two.

What kind of narrative did Yoo Je-yi and Woo Seul-gi build up that drew them to each other and kissed? And how will their relationship change after this kiss? Curiosity is growing about the relationship between these two that will be revealed in ‘Good Competition’.

Meanwhile, STUDIO X+U drama ‘Good Competition’, which is raising viewers‘ expectations with a surprise pre-release video, will be released on U+tv and U+mobile tv every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at midnight, starting from Monday, February 10.
