Jeon Hye Jin, Jo Min Soo, And Kim Sa Rang Tackle The Pressures Of Early Childhood Education In Upcoming Family Drama

Jan 20, 2025

The upcoming drama “Riding Life” (literal translation) has unveiled character posters featuring the three generations of women: Jeon Hye Jin, Jo Min Soo, and Kim Sa Rang!

“Riding Life” follows working mom Lee Jung Eun (Jeon Hye Jin), who asks her mother, Yoon Ji Ah (Jo Min Soo), to give her daughter rides to academies as the girl prepares for the “7-year-old exam” (an entrance test for top English-language academies). Set in the competitive Daechi district, known for its intense educational culture, the drama explores the pressures of private tutoring. It provides a humorous yet realistic look at the academic struggles of early childhood education.

The newly released character posters highlight the diverse perspectives of the three generations navigating Daechi’s competitive lifestyle. The posters feature Lee Jung Eun, a dedicated working mom balancing her career and her daughter’s education; Yoon Ji Ah, who agrees to take her granddaughter to academies at her daughter’s request; and Lee Jung Eun’s charming daughter, Hong Seo Yoon (Kim Sa Rang). Playful emojis express their emotions, drawing attention to each character’s unique personality.

Jeon Hye Jin portrays a busy working mom juggling her job and parenting right after leaving the office. Lee Jung Eun is shown rushing, still wearing her employee ID. The caption, “Mom will be there soon, wait for me,” adds to the intrigue surrounding her hectic life and her strong commitment to education.

Jo Min Soo’s character, Yoon Ji Ah, shows a surprised expression with the caption, “Do you think being a mom means you know everything?” This hints at upcoming mother-daughter conflict. Yoon Ji Ah, holding her granddaughter’s hand as they enter the world of private tutoring, faces a completely different experience than when she raised her daughter, Lee Jung Eun. This leads her to reflect on her relationship with her daughter.

Kim Sa Rang, who plays Hong Seo Yoon, the daughter of Lee Jung Eun, captivates with her innocent smile as she says, “I will do everything mom likes!” Her adorable presence lights up the screen. As the character who bridges Lee Jung Eun and Yoon Ji Ah, Kim Sa Rang delivers a mature performance.
