Jan 22, 2025

The upcoming drama “Riding Life” (literal translation) has unveiled its first teaser!

“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 teaser highlights the chaotic life of Jung Eun, a working mom juggling a demanding schedule. It also introduces Ji Ah, who unexpectedly finds herself stepping into twilight parenting at her daughter Jung Eun’s request.

The teaser begins with Jung Eun, panicked after learning her sitter is quitting. Her day starts at 7:30 a.m. when she wakes up, followed by an 8 a.m. kindergarten drop-off. At 9:20 a.m., she is late for work, and by 12:30 p.m., her lunch is interrupted for a rushed trip to the academy. Her day ends with a 7:30 p.m. parenting consultation after work. Jung Eun’s packed schedule will resonate with working moms everywhere.

Desperate for a sitter, Jung Eun turns to her mother, Ji Ah, who unexpectedly steps in to help with childcare duties. Though Ji Ah thought she was done with parenting, she finds herself navigating the unfamiliar world of academy drop-offs for the first time, holding her granddaughter’s hand. Despite Ji Ah’s belief that children will manage on their own, Jung Eun, driven by her passion for education, rushes around with her daughter Seo Yoon (Kim Sa Rang).
