In ‘Riding Life’, Jeon Seok-ho plays a lovable husband that you can't help but adore.
The Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ (written by Seong Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong, directed by Kim Cheol-kyu), which will be released on March 3 at 10 PM, depicts the life of three generations of women in Daechi-dong as they navigate the pressures of preparing for their daughter's '7-Year-Old Exam'. The '7-Year-Old Exam' is a neologism referring to the entrance test for a famous English academy, shedding light on the hot topic of early childhood private education.
As Jeon Hye-jin (playing Jeong-eun), Jo Min-soo (playing Ji-a), and child actress Kim Sa-rang (playing Seo-yoon) engage in a fierce competition, there is someone busy trying to keep up with them and make them smile. That person is Jeon Seok-ho, who plays Jeong-eun's husband, Jae-man.
Jeon Seok-ho portrays Jae-man, a husband who lacks ambition and skills to earn money, constantly getting scolded by his wife. Jae-man works as a home shopping MD, struggling with poor performance at work, but he drops everything to support his wife and daughter. Following the success of his previous work ‘Squid Game 2’, Jeon Seok-ho joins ‘Riding Life’, bringing a charming character that is hard to dislike, injecting vitality into the drama.
In the stills released by the production team, Jae-man is seen doing household chores like cooking and folding laundry in place of his busy wife. Always ready to be scolded, Jae-man sticks close to Jeong-eun, exuding a lovable charm despite the sadness. His signature realistic acting is expected to make Jae-man's character even more relatable.
Additionally, the couple's comedic chemistry between Jeon Hye-jin and Jeon Seok-ho is another highlight. The stark contrast between the powerful Jeong-eun and the meek Jae-man is sure to bring laughter. The drama also aims to resonate with viewers by portraying the realities of a working couple. The production team stated, “Jeon Seok-ho has brought to life the character of Jae-man, a husband who feels like he could be found anywhere. We hope you look forward to his presence adding a delightful touch to the story of the three generations of women.”
Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama ‘Riding Life’ is generating anticipation with the combination of director Kim Cheol-kyu, known for his work on ‘Mother’ and ‘Flower of Evil’, and a solid cast including Jeon Hye-jin, Jo Min-soo, Jeon Seok-ho, and Jung Jin-young. It will premiere on March 3, Monday, at 10 PM on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
