The first still cut of Jeon Hye-jin, who returns as a passionate working mom in "Riding Life," has been released.
The Genie TV original drama "Riding Life," which will be released on March 3 at 10 PM (written by Seong Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong, directed by Kim Cheol-kyu), depicts the life of three generations of women in Daechi-dong, focusing on Jung Eun, a passionate working mom, who entrusts her daughter’s "7-year-old exam" to a riding academy. The "7-year-old exam" is a neologism referring to the entrance test of a famous English academy, shedding light on the recent hot topic of early childhood private education.
At the center of the anticipation for "Riding Life" is Jeon Hye-jin. Known for her strong and intense characters, Jeon Hye-jin showcased a familiar yet new face through her previous work, the Genie TV original drama "Nam Nam." In "Nam Nam," she played a naive mother and received praise for both the drama and her performance. Jeon Hye-jin returns with a character that resonates more with the audience, leading "Riding Life."
The role of Jung Eun, played by Jeon Hye-jin, is a fierce marketer in the beauty industry who also wants to keep up with her 7-year-old daughter's education as a "passionate working mom." The released still cut captures Jung Eun's busy life as she juggles between work and her daughter's academy. Amidst competition with other mothers, Jung Eun shines with determination in her eyes, showing that she will do anything for her daughter. Despite the struggles and exhaustion, she also reveals the desire to be a cool mom in front of her daughter. Jung Eun's relatable appearance, which could be found somewhere in Daechi-dong, raises expectations for Jeon Hye-jin's "character fit" performance.
Jeon Hye-jin expressed her affection, saying, "Jung Eun is someone who works hard and excels in everything. Even in a challenging environment, I naturally feel a desire to cheer for her as she consistently strives to balance work and parenting, catching two rabbits at once." The production team stated, "You can look forward to Jeon Hye-jin's new life character that will further solidify her title as a 'trustworthy actress.' You will inevitably resonate with Jung Eun's story, who stands at the center of the three generations of women. Jeon Hye-jin portrayed Jung Eun's story, who is both a mother and a daughter, with great immersion."
